Pain Was Built
Picking up the pieces again
Fragmented dreams cut deep
Concealing hurt behind a grin
Dirty secrets crowding sleep
Insanity is located next door
Studying every last tendency
Time’s always keeping score
Strung out in it’s dependency
Idle threats missing the mark
Covered with a clinical desire
Calloused eyes spinning dark
Overt intentions must conspire
Sticky lies that complicate life
Buried beneath this heavy guilt
Reality wields a vengeful knife
Along it’s blade pain was built
Fragmented dreams cut deep
Concealing hurt behind a grin
Dirty secrets crowding sleep
Insanity is located next door
Studying every last tendency
Time’s always keeping score
Strung out in it’s dependency
Idle threats missing the mark
Covered with a clinical desire
Calloused eyes spinning dark
Overt intentions must conspire
Sticky lies that complicate life
Buried beneath this heavy guilt
Reality wields a vengeful knife
Along it’s blade pain was built

Abandoned Liberty
Persistent
With her cold feet forced
Her bland eyes stare
You and I won’t comprehend
Her soul bound by custom
Despotism her pain
Demeanor, dull and dreary
Disown their desolate ways
Forsaken by their faith
Traditions and tyranny
Beliefs, brutality
Mutilation and misery
Suppressed by their sect
Heartbreak and hardships
Subject to suffer
Accused and abused
She’s dressed up but covered
With nowhere to go
Her eyes tell a story
You’ll never know
Her hurt caused by creed ...
With her cold feet forced
Her bland eyes stare
You and I won’t comprehend
Her soul bound by custom

Demeanor, dull and dreary

Forsaken by their faith

Leaving You
I tried to tell you so many times
I tried to put it so you would understand in rhyme
The best I can do is to say it straight
I hate to put more on your plate
My heart is not in what we have
Please don't cry, this is going bad
I tried to tell you so many times
I said and did things, but you were blind
You would have left me if it was the other way around
please do not crumble to the ground
My bags are packed no need for me to stay
I cannot bare to see you this way
You can hate me, curse me, do what...
I tried to put it so you would understand in rhyme

I said and did things, but you were blind
You would have left me if it was the other way around
please do not crumble to the ground
My bags are packed no need for me to stay

dead flowers
sister pain my beloved
roses pricked with clowns that aren't funny
pickled laughter sours my tummy
legal ease whispers and I love you and hate you
confusion is its own master
creed of the lost
keep walking step by step
and if someone pushes you into the mud
get back up and keep walking
dreaded surprise your love came and went
it seems to appear and disappear with the wind
meager left overs I'm offered
my tears started falling and they wouldn't relent
love for me doesn't just iminate from deep...

shape shamers
close your eyes...if it offends...
...if you don't wish to see...
...turn a blind eye...the way you do injustice
...it isn't really there...just pretend
live in denial if you must
but stop belittling what doesn't affect you
hating for its own sake
nobody's saying ya gotta date 'em
look to your personal environ
I'm here to tell you...
...it's real
they will troll you
feed foul names & images into your mind
make you feel less than...
...or too much...
{as if we already didn't...}
...it's relentless

Dirty Ace of Hearts
Channeling you
Looking everywhere
Then suddenly
You appeared
A dirty version
Former self
Turned out
Struggling to survive
Your immaculate conception
Poisoned on the avenue
Splintered and struck
I had choices
Take you home
Bathe you in sanctity
Or leave you wounded
For the next John
To worship you
Make you into his likeness
Only to fail desperately
As he won't know
What I...

YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
It's a shame that you don't nor truly understand that the hurt and pain, that you scared me with not only ripped my heart it tore apart of me. TO never put my trust again in anyone, who came through the doors of my heart and spiritual soul PIMPING... FOR ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS. For you made me feel unwanted and having a low self esteem about WHAT I WANT AND NEED. FOR YOU definitely went as far as destroying, my dreams of being in love with happiness still telling me, I will always be alone. Yet you never once thought that the scares upon me. Would become my badge of my honor, and...

MAGA Paleolithicus
They were an undiscovered type of ape
living among us in truck stops and bars
where there was no acceptable escape
from substance abuse and loud guitars,
and thus they had no complete trains of thought
to mollify the beast in beasty mode
where pride soon saw that they remained untaught
except for using congress as a commode
rather than for tutored parlance, as meant,
and so turbulence ruled MAGA hearts,
so much so, that the jargon which they spent
made less sense...

Good Enough
Almost every day the question comes to mind
Was I ever good enough to him?
Dealing with the struggle of a shared custody
As the years passed by, the situation got grim
Little by little I gave up more of my time
It seemed like the thing to do rationally
She’d be a better parent than I could be
All the while I had started another family
I could always see the hurt in his eyes
Even as he smiled and laughed happily
But as he got older I got all the blame
As the shame weighed so substantially
And for many years I carried...

Aching through Eternity
Aching through eternity.
How can you feel so heavy
yet so empty?
Simultaneously.
Stone lead hearts
and soul black holes.
Trees ache for the riot
of supple leaves.
Aching wants
are not aching needs
I acutely ache for the return of me.
Empty deny's aching to be full.
My heavy thoughts dream
of veins of empty peace.
Nature's beauty aches to be.
Every single ache,
is a different want and a
different need.
How can you feel so heavy
yet so empty?
Simultaneously.
Stone lead hearts
and soul black holes.
Trees ache for the riot
of supple leaves.
Aching wants
are not aching needs
I acutely ache for the return of me.
Empty deny's aching to be full.
My heavy thoughts dream
of veins of empty peace.
Nature's beauty aches to be.
Every single ache,
is a different want and a
different need.
