Time
I don’t know what to do, I feel so alone.
Family, friends, I have people who love me, but it doesn’t stop the pain.
“You’re loved!” “You’re needed!”
You can tell me till you’re blue in the face, but my mind will deny every single word.
Just leave me be, don’t worry.
I’ll work through it.
It happens everyday, only this time I was too broken to hide it.
My theatre grin wasn’t wide enough, and you saw through the cracks.
Don’t push it, don’t push me.
I need time to recharge, time to remember who I really am.
But until then, I feel alone....
Family, friends, I have people who love me, but it doesn’t stop the pain.

WHEN LOVE IS OVER
Through this cycle know as life we will go through somethings that we may not truly understand but they happen but yet they can change your whole out look of life, as they dive deep into your inner emotions of your heart and soul for its a fact somethings will have you questioning your own mind, pulling at the very fabric of your heart ripping it into little tiny pieces of broken glass that can and will never be repaired or mended.

Don't Break Down
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
You go through the motions of each day but you aren't really living
You listen to you childern laughing but don't even smile
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Crying alone in your car to that sad song that comes on
Not understanding why you feel so miserable
Trying to hide the tears from you family and friends
Crying alone in...
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
You go through the motions of each day but you aren't really living
You listen to you childern laughing but don't even smile
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Crying alone in your car to that sad song that comes on
Not understanding why you feel so miserable
Trying to hide the tears from you family and friends
Crying alone in...

Mask
When I was young
They told me to hide my emotions and my pain
They gifted me a mask
Showed me how to put it on
I painted that mask carefully
So unsure of what I wanted people to see
I practiced in the mirror cutting glares and looks that kill
My mask only helped me to feel safe
The tears that fell behind it went unseen
I never knew that once you accept it
It never seems to go away, the mask
It loves me, it is here to stay forever
Suddenly the question arises
when does it and I stop and end?
Where am I? Or where is it? ...

Sea of Touch
The body makes love to the body and leaves me on the other side
I listen to the breathing that echoes in the room and I feel like the intruder
The sheets touch the blanket of skin and I feel rough
The voice of the other says this- this is making love
So I close the ungrateful eyes and picture the rain
Convince myself this touch is just as pure, just as great
Count the seconds til I forget the structure of my own name
As the body cums
And as I come to back into the body
All I feel is nothing ...
I listen to the breathing that echoes in the room and I feel like the intruder
The sheets touch the blanket of skin and I feel rough
The voice of the other says this- this is making love
So I close the ungrateful eyes and picture the rain
Convince myself this touch is just as pure, just as great
Count the seconds til I forget the structure of my own name
As the body cums
And as I come to back into the body
All I feel is nothing ...

blood and marrow
My bones bloom flowers
without poetry
I no longer have the words
to show you my soul
or explain the way
I have fractured myself
My heart is like an erratic coffee stain
the black mark sinking so indelibly inside
I can't scrub the anxiety from
my consciousness
Coins fall from my hands
in reverse prosperity
that can never fill your cup
and never will
when I have more
than my own bones
to stay alive for
Loneliness is more
than...

Distant
An old gate, creaks in the wind
Crickets and wood smoke
Sunflowers leaning in the night
By the light of the harvest moon
The far away heartbeat
of a
bridge in the
rain
Fall came early this year
Crickets and wood smoke
Sunflowers leaning in the night
By the light of the harvest moon
The far away heartbeat
of a
bridge in the
rain
Fall came early this year

Afternoon Scrolling
That crisp autumn air
seeping in to chill
the broken screen door
still flaps in wind
still haven't fixed it
nursing my trauma
in any escape
these silent afternoons
we've all shut down
peering into
this window
of technology
drifting from those we love
for what can we say
if we are always entertained
seeping in to chill
the broken screen door
still flaps in wind
still haven't fixed it
nursing my trauma
in any escape
these silent afternoons
we've all shut down
peering into
this window
of technology
drifting from those we love
for what can we say
if we are always entertained

Have a Nice Day!
- Have a Nice Day! -
Today was a bright and sunny day, an autumn day,
Yet, so long a start it had, and still no time to play...
Though I smiled, and laughed, trying to be happy.
If only people could, into my deepest heart so see!
I painted my face white, and my lips deep blood red.
Black eye shadow completed what I saw in my head,
And I wondered what others beheld upon my face.
I wore purple and green, instead of leather or lace,
And, I walked with a grace born of pure madness.
My heart was so heavy, remembering old sadness!
But I...

The Company Of Rain
Tears ping the tin roof
following the eruption
falling faster
the frantic release
unstoppable
dancing above
the duvet
swaddled to bare skin
lulled by the cacophony
evading the chill
in this warm bed
slightly awake
but heavy-lidded
aware of an absence
and buried in pillows
following the eruption
falling faster
the frantic release
unstoppable
dancing above
the duvet
swaddled to bare skin
lulled by the cacophony
evading the chill
in this warm bed
slightly awake
but heavy-lidded
aware of an absence
and buried in pillows

Microhabitat (Maybe an Artist)
A song about the kindhearted timid and shy people out there <3
~~
A turtle peeking its head out shy
Shivering quiet eyes
There’s something in the air,
Warm pillow sweet grass bread,
Could you keep me?
Did you see raindrops so round,
Curled up friends on your glasses rim?
‘Hello’
My small universe
*instrumental*
I like to think that I’m an astronaut
To tiny spaces, imagination takes me
My little body frightened by those fast cars
Be gentle please
I like to...
