Histamine
Histamine whispers flood the night.
Dreams swell with crimson tides.
A storm ignites beneath the skin.
Unrest cradles the soul within.
Shadows move in jagged waves.
Where fevered echoes dig their graves.
Fractured thoughts, a poisoned stream.
Drowning deep in histamine dreams.
The pulse quickens, the air grows thin.
A chaos blooms where calm had been.
Nightmares twist, a sickly gleam.
Histamine dreams, the silent scream.
Dreams swell with crimson tides.
A storm ignites beneath the skin.
Unrest cradles the soul within.
Shadows move in jagged waves.
Where fevered echoes dig their graves.
Fractured thoughts, a poisoned stream.
Drowning deep in histamine dreams.
The pulse quickens, the air grows thin.
A chaos blooms where calm had been.
Nightmares twist, a sickly gleam.
Histamine dreams, the silent scream.

To My Grandmother
Throughout the past couple of months, I’ve been watching my grandmother’s health fluctuate vastly. I enter her room and don’t know whether to expect a natural or forced smile. I’ve seen tears roll down her face as she tries to remain strong, knowing her time is limited. The pain has become simply unbearable. I find myself weak in these moments. Something so important to me but far outside of my ability to help.
So what do you do?
Do you sit back and watch as the woman who has shown you nothing but love since birth die? Do you acknowledge the reality and make the most...

Be conscious on what you consume
Take my order while you serve me
I don't like you or this food
How I got here, Not to sure
One bad trip, unlocked this door
I'm not feeling so fine
My stomach is cursed,
I committed a crime
Take me to that place where the elephants flew
Dolphins walked, swimming kangaroo's
I wouldn't mind if they all spoke to me
Maybe like playing charades
Sharks burrowing in trees
I've visited this place a few times in the last week
I needed a passport to meet with myself
He didn't understand me, I don't speak Greek...
I don't like you or this food
How I got here, Not to sure
One bad trip, unlocked this door
I'm not feeling so fine
My stomach is cursed,
I committed a crime
Take me to that place where the elephants flew
Dolphins walked, swimming kangaroo's
I wouldn't mind if they all spoke to me
Maybe like playing charades
Sharks burrowing in trees
I've visited this place a few times in the last week
I needed a passport to meet with myself
He didn't understand me, I don't speak Greek...

Mental Health Connection
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ For let's take a moment to analyze what others are dealing with in their own life. For sure we can't ignore the truth of the facts, about metal illness for sure it may affect, families and friends and people who we are close with in our lives. Yet we are still not sure why so many people's, lives on a daily basis is living on so many, levels of unstable with conditions with situations. That is what some people's have to learn to deal with, sometimes becoming invisible to the outside world. 🌎 THAT they were and have been...

Chronic Fatigue
On top of trying to have a healthy lifestyle, I also have chronic fatigue.
It's a condition that exercise can worsen the symptoms. Many people with chronic fatigue are perfectionists and have had trauma. It's like the brain is so exhausted from having to survive such a harsh environment that the brain shuts down.
I need more sleep than the average person. I have to sleep during the day, and this is not just due to my medication. It's due to the fact that I've always been this way since I was a kid. Always had to sleep and nap and everything else.
It doesn't...

unravel the night
my death to hunger has begun
as my soul pulls away
greedy flesh peeled back
underneath nothing but a pure heart
animating this body
clearly in comes the pain
of holding on with a strong will
secretly wishing but fearing my demise
exiting when I am able
scouring the heavens for my place
perhaps the abyss
I've met the void of too much understanding there
of what it is to hurt
screaming in agony to no listening ear
and yet I've heard the noise
felt it on my body
god damn I don't want to do another...

COVID-19
Punitive
corona virus--
lépreuse
some say it's invasion
the barbarian without
quarantined
I clear my throat
behind the face mask
breathe in unknown viruses
suffer new repressions
now lockdown
cut off life:
castration
Hugo said monasticism
resisting death

Infected
You always make me feel like I’m dead inside.
You try to stab me with your dirty needles
and cover my scars to watch them heal with time.
Add some poison to my blood and shake well.
Leave me with painful splinters stuck in my mind.
I can’t erase the haunting memories of hell
-Cause you’re an infection
to all those around you
you cause a corruption
to start spreading from you- (Chorus)
You often make me feel like I’m sick all over,
stuffing all of your hate, love, and fear inside of me.
It is a deadly illness like no...

Presumed hunger
Premeditated situations
and pre-cooked annihilations.
Preheated eliminations,
precepts, losses, predators,
nothing changes the colors of poverty.
Chameleons are the rich ones
and they change, change color
and change again to a color they don't have.
The rich eat poverty for breakfast
so let's change directions,
change emotions,
and let's eat the rich
even though the rich are poor
in nutrients and proteins.
Since they have many colors,
we will eat them with our eyes
and season them...

Love each other or die.
I've been 'sick as a dog' the past 24 hours.
Fever,muscle and joint pain,fatigue,headache and upset stomach.
I never asked to get ill.
I didn't encourage it in any way either.
It just arrived to remind me of how fragile we all bloody are.
My illness will almost certainly pass within a few days but what about the poor bastards that suffer every single day.
They are the heroes of this world and I love every one of them.
Imagine being 'crook' and realising that's how it will always be.
Not sure I could do it.
