Special
I'm crawling my way out of the dark, but the dark is too thick. Thickened by the lies of this world. That if you push things down far enough, that they'll go away. That those who just wanted to be validated have a victim mentality. That this world was for me.
No, it wasn't, and it's not my fault.
But I still try to find fault within myself for being an outcast.
For not being special for anyone.
I still can't understand why Lenny, my friend I recently blocked, had to say I had a victim mentality just for me saying that I wasn't special to Josh and...
No, it wasn't, and it's not my fault.

For not being special for anyone.

We need to talk
Why do I feel my chest tighten or, like every nerve ending is firing at once
We need to talk
Nothing ever goes well with those types of words
I know what I told you
I should stop this. I know exactly where it's going, and my heart is slowly ripping apart.
I told you everything was over with me and her, but I also told you I would try to make it work.
Why is he still talking? I got it. I'm gone
I would like if we could still be friends
He would like it if we could...

October Poems 2024 >> broken strings—broken wings
A poem for each day of the month in which I was born
DAY 29
broken strings—broken wings
the spot you’ve left here vacant
no longer find i fragrant,
for all your charm has vanished with the wind.
the voices i am hearing
have petrified my bearing
for i am by their told-you-so chagrined.
that cold october morning,
without the slightest warning,
your heart repurposed was no longer mine,
for you had...

i want to know all your secrets
but you remain so distant
as you walk through my fire
on eggshells and broken glass.
You're not made for crying
and I don't understand
as I stumble through your dreams.
Somewhere in the future
or somewhere in the never
we may come to understand,
but for now, the difference is the pain.
Our love slightly fades
without a tear or a smile
the way the summer herds ...

The difference only a few days can make
How a heart filled with love can so easily break
A voice that gave me peace and now it haunts me
A face that brightened my day and now it taunts me
With thoughts of a future that we'll never share
A dream once so beautiful is now a nightmare
The sum of my fears has come to fruition
My mind knew better but my heart wouldn't listen
Wrapped up in a fantasy, pretending it was real
Of course I knew better but I wanted to feel ...

42 years of life you have given me Lord
42 years of life you have given me Lord
And
I am grateful for
The gift of life
That is so precious to me
My tolerance and respect is built around people
On understanding and empathy
There is another world for me to embrace
I always question what are they saying
I can do so many things
I need to have a desire to do it Lord
It doesn’t matter where I came from
The ability to triumph begins with me always
I like to say that risks always pays of
I learn what to do or not to do
I see your face in me
I talk to children...

inwardly ring a bell
shake and bake baby
time to stand not crawl
woman you got gall
I've been watching you move in the atmosphere
tremble inside I'm aware of what you disguise
hidden needs you're holding out
my demons are smitten with you
what did you do, start, a union for them?
they say they don't like to torture
you're getting ridiculous
you set your royal guard free
now we have a rebellion going
there is a hierarchy
you have been fooled honey they are brutal
only to the ones, you order them to be cruel...

water
a sweet sister in sin has emerged from the shadows
to tell me some secrets to make me wise
she will not be so careless as to tell me her name
she is here to bring my soul some rest
I've always told the powers that be to masquerade when they come
and veil their minds to protect our thoughts and identity
once I'm sure we have a private wavelength
I tell her to send the information it will go straight to my mind
there are so many levels in the mind
all the knowledge she sent is high-clearance access
she says the word among the powers...

I'm not
I'm no longer hungry
This loneliness is enough to keep me satisfied
My mind is preoccupied
Most people are deceived
That loneliness consists of absolute nothing
But if you gave yourself more time lusting for the void
You wouldn't feel so destroyed
Often I'm feeling toyed
Popping in and out of secure feelings
Not even sure where those even come from
You've got me on a long leash fella
and never seemed to care if Im your someone
Discarded it seems
From anything that would mutually benefit me ...

The odyssey of self
In the depths of despair, I bled for the masses
A martyr's cry, echoing through the passages
I gave and gave, until my veins ran dry
But in the end, I realized, I had to ask myself why
The world didn't stop, it just kept spinning round
Leaving me in the dust, with a worn-out crown
I thought I'd find solace, in the love I'd share
But it was all a lie, a facade, a snare
I tried to find my place, in the grand design
But it seemed the more I gave, the more I'd decline
My heart was pure, my intentions true
But the world didn't...

Nice Guy Chronicles VIII
It was the new year
Holiday season was over
And everyone had to go back home
I enjoyed my time away
It was great to explore a new area
However coming back I knew what I had to do
She had been on my mind all the time
It did also help that we always kept in touch
Now here's the crazy part
I started to have a hunch that
she actually liked me in a romantic manner
Not out of the blue
But since we were young
I've always been a bit oblivious
to people liking me
which has lead me to some funny...
