RECURRENT NOXIOUS FLOWERS OF DESPAIR (9-1-1996, Galveston Island, Texas)
an atomic implosion
abruptly
bloomed forth
in the dark
pit
of all my
too long suppressed
subconscious
collective despair
effectively turning me
inside out
completely abandoned
alone and lost
in the suddenly
realized
no longer hidden
inner horrors
of my own
accumulatively inverted
now exposed
man made
now seemingly manifest
synaptically challenged
pseudo insanity ...

Ode To The Over Thinking Insomniaddict
One-sheep-two-sheep-three sheet whore
Black sheep-lost sheep-six feet no more
It's highly pastime to cast away stones
So a hardened heart will soften
If we let bygones be gone bye bye Just a tad little bit more often
Found left alone in my own wake
At my own wake
Waking up coughing in my coffin
So that's the bed I got to lie in
A dirt nap is what their talking
Well I ain't made that flower bed yet
For now I'm just a dead man sleepwalking
Shadowy shapeless sights by candle the light
From the wax and the wick is relentless like...
Black sheep-lost sheep-six feet no more
It's highly pastime to cast away stones
So a hardened heart will soften
If we let bygones be gone bye bye Just a tad little bit more often
Found left alone in my own wake
At my own wake
Waking up coughing in my coffin
So that's the bed I got to lie in
A dirt nap is what their talking
Well I ain't made that flower bed yet
For now I'm just a dead man sleepwalking
Shadowy shapeless sights by candle the light
From the wax and the wick is relentless like...

Depressed insomniac
Do you want to know what the worst part of being insomniac is?
Laying down and watching videos and seeing videos that you didn’t even know related to
I was watching a video the other day
The way the video started was, what’s the worst thing you hate about being depressed.
The girl in the video started to go on and on
you realize how much you relate to things
The little things you hate about depression are like
Reasons why I don’t wanna get out of bed
Reasons why I don’t wanna brush my hair
Deep down you want to but in that moment you can’t you...

YOU HAVE A CHOICE LIFE OR DEATH
Someplace and somewhere some family is going through rough times, dealing with an drug addict whether it's a friend or family member or someone you pass on the street. But yet I ask this question what will it take to get you, to understand that what you're doing is destroying the best part of you. As a woman or a man who withstood the very test of time for you even overcame, the adversities that almost killed you in heart and soul and mind. For why is it so hard to let go of the drugs that are slowly taking away, the true beauty of your heart and the deepness of your subconsciousness. While...

I died Yesterday~
I died yesterday. The pain was worse than I thought it would be. They say it will be different but it’s not. I’m here to tell you so. The burn pierced through my flesh as the bullet searched for a place to exit. So here I am now, standing on the edge of a cliff with hues of brown and grey. I was expecting more of all of this. No bells, no whistles, no angels or unicorns to soothe the torture I thought I’d left behind.
My escape plan failed. Now what? Ginger clouds on the horizon and not another soul to be found. With a deep breath and sigh, a resignation lands on the half...

9:23AM
It’s 8AM and my mind has been constantly teetering on the edge of dreams and unrest.
It’s 8AM and my eyelids shutter closed to shield my eyes from the might of day, only to blearily open again.
It’s 8AM and I’ve stayed awake for many nights, watching the sunlight bleed through so-called “blackout” curtains.
I’ve witnessed the cycles for over a month now, and yet I have seen no sunrise.
I lock myself inside of these walls as my inner conflict begins to swell and stack it’s walls just as high—no higher.
For the first time in my life the extroverted are just...

THE ME KNOWONE SEES
Have you ever wondered deep within your mind, when you see someone for the very first time and there is just something about them that stands out of your mind, but yet you cant put your finger upon it but they seem normal just like you in mind heart and soul but who truly knows what goes on behind close doors.
For could you even image living an secet life were your thoughts...

Insomnia Concerto Sensoriale
3:27am
I’m awake
like the sun
with only
the moonlight
keeping me company;
words flow
grow
they know
I need sleep -
eyes full of sand
but a mind full
of patterns
colors
shapes, unidentifiable
at least until
I look them up
in the light
of later today
converging melodies
written upon
the shifting amalgam
~of thoughts~
too many to detail,
colliding in their hurry
to pique my interest,
showing off to grab
my full...
