If then I only knew what I now know, I'd said NO.
Around and around and down I go, when will I stop, when I'm in the ground I'll know. It was never ours to begin with to hoard and withhold, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's it is owed, now within my own explosion I am ready to implode, as I think of all the spending spent and with not a rod dam thing to show. Once you've bought it you're sold and getting it back will take years more than four score and cost more than seventy eleven fold.

Through The Gramophone
Listening to the dark
bitterness to my taste
all alone...
in my mind's wilderness
as it gets louder
beneath my pillow
so deep in my sleep...
now drowning in sorrows
pulling down the shades
of nevermore...
echoing through the Gramophone
listening to the dark...
bitterness to my taste
all alone...
in my mind's wilderness
as it gets louder
beneath my pillow
so deep in my sleep...
now drowning in sorrows
pulling down the shades
of nevermore...
echoing through the Gramophone
listening to the dark...

Dissociation
My anxiety spikes and I don’t feel normal.
So I write another page in my poetry journal.
It grounds me so I know it’s not real.
It’s all in my head, it’s what I feel.
It’s a nightmare except I’m awake.
I lose grip, I’m starting to shake.
The goosebumps, they’re all over the place.
A physical reaction to something that’s fake.
A movie I made up inside my mind.
Fears and scenarios of every kind.
I don’t know where they come from, where they hide.
All I know is I can’t stop the movies in my mind.
The world...

Insomnia
Insomnia you wretched whore
These long sleepless nights are such a bore
This reeling mind
Keeps watching time
How long has it been
Will I ever sleep again
I toss and I turn
Will I ever learn
To understand my mind
Counting seconds, minutes, hours I find
I’m powerless against your hold
Will you still be here as I get old
My whole life you’ve taunted me
Why can’t you just let me be
Insomnia you wretched whore
These long sleepless nights are such a bore
This reeling mind
Keeps watching time
How long has it been
Will I ever sleep again
I toss and I turn
Will I ever learn
To understand my mind
Counting seconds, minutes, hours I find
I’m powerless against your hold
Will you still be here as I get old
My whole life you’ve taunted me
Why can’t you just let me be
Insomnia you wretched whore

I know I have lost
The markings of a familiar face left embedded in my brain
It's been years since I had seen her red eyes and tears of pain
She left me with permanent scaring in not only my flesh but scratchings etched inside me as I opened up to her and came out of hiding . I thought I had escaped this abuse but the flash memories will never go away .
It's like a photo taken with a timer but the smile was much wider as you waited for what seems like an eternal 10seconds , the photo that's taken must be mistaken as my smile is replaced with a frown .

Can't sleep
Can't sleep
Frowning , so tired but in these thoughts
Drowning In memories , I can't pass the middle of this hour glass but the sands of time past through me .
Can't sleep
Having feelings of guilt from the stupid stuff I did to myself and the selfishness sells like discounted clothes with only slight defects .
Reflects burning and image in me , LCD screen left on over night settings too bright leaving the lines .
Can't sleep
I'm wide awake , for fuck sakes I got to be up in three hours , taking a shower , iron my shirt to...

Mystic dreams
Angel tears
Fall through the years
Of everlasting sorrow
Serpents tongue
Lashing the young
Blessings no longer borrowed
Exiled truth
Hidden from youth
Frozen lies in clouds amber
Mystic dreams
Piercing the seams
From stolen childrens slumber
Fall through the years
Of everlasting sorrow
Serpents tongue
Lashing the young
Blessings no longer borrowed
Exiled truth
Hidden from youth
Frozen lies in clouds amber

3am
the clock--- it says 3am
up late once again tired sleepy eyes
mothers wishes fathers words
criticism and praise mixed and coexisting
there's music soft but percing
book open distracting but exhausting
stomach hurts hunger is constant
no eating need to be thin
need to fit in hair falling...

Abstract Timelines and an Alternative Universe
I've been struggling to write down all that has happened
Normally I enjoy writing down timelines
To just keep my memory of events clear
My brain sometimes breaks under the negative emotions experienced
Not necessarily rewriting the memory
Just making the whole thing more intense
It's... Like paint a clear shinny slip on a matte ceramic
But trying to prevent that crystalization
I feel like I keep hitting a block, Something stops me
I don't know how to write about almost dying
Not sure how to phrase it all in a factual way
When pain has...

Insomnias Lover.
𝖎𝖓𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖓𝖎𝖆
For those who wonder why insomnia disturbs their slumber
Perhaps you have never heard of the story of her lover
Know he was sweet, a poet of the night who kept her warm under the covers
Insomnia found him late at night, his sobs silent as his body shuddered
He was alone in a frightfully broken home
No one to love him, nor keep him going, he longed for another
So insomnia placed her arms around the male and held him close
She...

Let me out
Free me from caffeine
But it tickles me so
Like silken obsidian
Covering my skin
With dark's echos
Screaming
But!
Who has the key?
Let me out
Free me from caffeine
But it tickles me so
Like silken obsidian
Covering my skin
With dark's echos
Screaming
But!

THE CEMETERY TRIPTYCH
I am wide awake
Feel I need to kill myself to sleep
Why won't you stay
Among the darkness where shadows creep?
Seems you haunt the moon
Sickening at the altar of feasts
Lost in the doom
Finding myself before the great beast
And In this midnightmare citadel
Blackened talons reach for me
And drag me down this loathsome well
My vision's fading
Your face is dissolving in the waves
When madness rings
Laughter echoes with sanity's bane
And the harlot kills
With pleasures of the flesh and the flames
Burn...
Feel I need to kill myself to sleep
Why won't you stay
Among the darkness where shadows creep?
Seems you haunt the moon
Sickening at the altar of feasts
Lost in the doom
Finding myself before the great beast
And In this midnightmare citadel
Blackened talons reach for me
And drag me down this loathsome well
My vision's fading
Your face is dissolving in the waves
When madness rings
Laughter echoes with sanity's bane
And the harlot kills
With pleasures of the flesh and the flames
Burn...
