Assassin
I ‘am the assassin
A contract killing tonight
Be aware of mysterious eyes
Watching you in plain sight.
Unsettling thoughts creep in
You can run but you can’t hide
Surrounded by dark alley ways
Turn around, take a look behind.
Police can’t help
No proof someone is out to get you
Protect yourself somehow someway
Racing thoughts of someone I knew.
It might possibly have been my ex
Or maybe the company I embezzled.
Too many to really know
This is going to the next level.
I feel safer now ...
A contract killing tonight
Be aware of mysterious eyes
Watching you in plain sight.
Unsettling thoughts creep in
You can run but you can’t hide
Surrounded by dark alley ways
Turn around, take a look behind.
Police can’t help
No proof someone is out to get you
Protect yourself somehow someway
Racing thoughts of someone I knew.
It might possibly have been my ex
Or maybe the company I embezzled.
Too many to really know
This is going to the next level.
I feel safer now ...

Disorganized Attachment and BPD, the Beast Within
Intensely craving
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself

Joys Fight
I let myself feel too joyous.
Pain relished in
tormenting and reminding me.
Of all my salty agonies.
In me there is a deadly poisonous garden
behind every joyous wall.
My thoughts are scratched by a vine
of gigantic thorns.
Tearing holes in my scars.
Joy fights for survival
but she's wounded bad.
I stop.
I embrace the uninvited, unwanted emotions.
Ask them if they would mentor me.
I walked into pains room.
I can't tell you what I learned.
You have your own journey to follow.

Mr. Macabre
You could call him
Mr. Macabre
Master of the dark
The seedy
The horrifying
Like little jig saw
Puzzle pieces
That paint a scary scene
When all of them
Fit into place
Oh, how he spins
His gory words into
The worst of the worst
Deep dark tales
He has a brighter side
That we don't often see
But it does exist
And the work
That it produces
Tend to oddly fall
On the heavenly side
And is not a bit sinister
Mr. Macabre
A man of wit
A poet...

cling
inside the bleak there is a nothingness that overcomes
shadows that grow large and envelope
it is fear, you know?
it swallows previous hopes
and incites unrest within me
it quietly brews then reaches my core
it's scarred terrain
I make my way through it slowly
trying to make sense of the unknown
I don't know why I get riled
I wish to put to an end to it quickly
what will fear teach me, how to doubt?

STOP APOLOGIZING ( paying homage to brokentitanium )
I'm sick of your angst
Not because you're fucking whiney
It's because there's a Greatness in you
You won't acknowledge
You can SING
You're versatile
Folk, Rock, PUNK
You name it
We all want what you HAVE
Naturally
SO SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR TEARS
If I wanted drippy sweet songs I'd go to the BIG BOX DRUG STORE where I want to slit my wrists from fem packaged generic digital vocal splatter
You get what I'm saying BT ?
ANGUISH AND FEAR MAKE YOU

blind spot
it never comes with a warning
that fistcrushinglungs
skip of a...beat...choking feeling
suddenly startled
ghosts brushing spectral fingers across overly sensitive skin
raising pained bumps that never seem to rub out
unaware of danger's approach...
until it has you by the throat
...did you know...?
if surface is all you're seeing...
betrayal can be found in the conscious
allowing you to naively believe you have any semblance of control
simply because you will it so
while behind the scenes...where...

that flower (shed its skin)
not
as young
and naive
as the
year before,
eyes
watching
around himself,
possessions
tucked away,
don't
stand
too close,
i will not
be responsible.

Fear of Success
I had thought about returning to college for several years
But the fear of success had kept me in the dark for a while
“It’s too difficult, I’m too old, I don’t have the money or time”
All the excuses I had in my mind filled my heart with anxiety
But for far too long I was feeling I had hit a glass ceiling
The lack of a degree kept my career stalled or at a stand still
Until one day I decided to go back to the old campus
Seeing the buildings and students gave me an old thrill
So that day, standing there on the university campus

Shut Up!
running through my head
as scurrying ants
biting
into thoughts
bleeding stupidity
into my brain
get a grip
no one cares
so shut up
feeling like melted ice cream
on a hot sidewalk.
