What wall did I write on
I had the displeasure of help jumpstarting something that was never suppose to happen
I saw the writings on the wall very early but I continued anyway
I thought two damaged people could somehow make it work
Friends told me the red flags are something to be ok with
That conformity around you has weakened your ability to take accountability
Shocked at the knowledge they bestowed to me but quick to conform to wrong actions said & done
I wrote love letters to you heart & each time you tossed...

His obedient Marionette
Ever fleeting moments of disarray,
They come and they go.
When will the next show begin?
The answer I do not know.
Cursed to forever dance to his music,
The melody for his obedient marionette.
I move to the beats and drums,
Until the music stops and the sun sets.
I move to my masters will,
I comply to his every whim.
I can’t detach the strings,
I’m forever bound to him.
I still try to cut the cords that bind me,
Those made from tears and hate.
Remove these awful knots of anger,
Release me from this...
They come and they go.
When will the next show begin?
The answer I do not know.
Cursed to forever dance to his music,
The melody for his obedient marionette.
I move to the beats and drums,
Until the music stops and the sun sets.
I move to my masters will,
I comply to his every whim.
I can’t detach the strings,
I’m forever bound to him.
I still try to cut the cords that bind me,
Those made from tears and hate.
Remove these awful knots of anger,
Release me from this...

Never again
Today was the first time in a long time that I was truly afraid of you; and I hated every single fucking second of it.
You ran at me and I couldn’t help but scream, and that’s when I saw it lingering inside of your eyes; the rage.
Today was one of the first days my heart has ever broken for my little sister, because she is becoming just like me.
Today won’t be the first occurrence with you, but it will be the most memorable.
The first day you planted a seed so dark and fear filled that she will now jump every time you slam something.
You have changed her...

My little Black Sock Single Life
My Happy little black sock
....well it used to be or maybe still is
I left it there again
....as I left that last time
Who would have known the powers that black thread could have
That Premeditated cruelty
...could enlighten me too
He used my little black sock
Not much thought was even put in this
At the same time I feel empowered
.... relieved
I feel hurt from this staged deceit
....as he knew he hoped that I would
I wasn't worth the truth
I didn't earn anymore respect than...

A deep perversion of all things natural.. Modern denial
Isn't it exciting when the herd moves as one
7 billion forgotten self's laying down to die
In the name of a world they never experienced
For people who say they must
But knowingly won't do the same.
It is best not to believe in anything
Except now, right now
Don't think too much beyond now
And pay maximum attention to now
Right now
Panic buying starts
And the exit lights are on the screen
Everyone rushes at once
Not one of them panic thinks
Not one of them knows an exit
There's lots of open doors in dangerous places ...
7 billion forgotten self's laying down to die
In the name of a world they never experienced
For people who say they must
But knowingly won't do the same.
It is best not to believe in anything
Except now, right now
Don't think too much beyond now
And pay maximum attention to now
Right now
Panic buying starts
And the exit lights are on the screen
Everyone rushes at once
Not one of them panic thinks
Not one of them knows an exit
There's lots of open doors in dangerous places ...

Blind doctrine of the ever owned self
Dreams dictated misdirected ideals,
No wonder our memories are short.
Quick to forget all but a moment,
Burying our heads in the sands of time...
There was no future save a fantasy.
Falling and consumed, you barely notice
Give a bark to Goya if you realize then
But no one can turn this glass you hoped they'd toast.
Forever, merely shown, Never lived,
An eternity of rash indecision For those to whom eternity means nothing.
Another theory in a simulation just an equation,
It's all the creation of some one
For the self it seems. ...

Damaged
Anxiety is running around rampantly on the inside of the walls of my chest, and it is all because of you.
I don't like to take car rides anymore with you because of how angry you always are,
And dinners at home with you always taste like unspoken words and stomach acid.
I don't remember a day I have not been afraid of you.
I can feel the rage wafting off of your body in waves, and see the way how your knuckles turn an ashy white when you get angry, and then I am suddenly seven years old again learning how to learn to listen for the bitter anger dripping off of your...

… crossroads: respect
hold the door open
not just for a friend,
charge like a boar
to be the first in..
hold hands tightly
to show where you
stand,
view of affection
not in the partner’s
plan..
pardon me
works any given day,
...

We've
evolved
into puppets
but the strings
grew longer
so that you
can't see
the fingers...

Normal is overrated
Intake
Inflate
Digest
Deflate
Let them laugh,
It's obvious the joke is on me.
Hang there
Hang tight
Like a piñata
My torment
Brings them joy
Why not,
Who cares?.
Those society have learnt to make fun of the less
What's right,
But left?
The physically disabled
And mentally challenged
That we've learnt to dehumanize
Meme them
Mock them
Screw them
Use them
And as clowns paint them
Why is it that so few actually care?
Spit on it,...

Lava
A rollercoaster romance
A magic aura about its wild nature
Common ground where those who feel trapped inside emotional suffering finds relief in love, or at least she believes
Aggression waits and paces below the surface
Waits like volcanos do
Waits for an eruption of lava
Lava full of emotional pain, sick thinking, and twisted behavior
Finding power in disrespecting others and
Becoming aggressive until submission becomes reality
Knowing her heart could love and forgive easily because she values such things
Her...
