SCARED VETS
Sign of the cross everytime am close to cross between foes and my woes,
Standing In the middle of this war no side is winning I want it no more,
The cons outweigh the pros I feel conned everytime i bury a bro,
I worry our egos wont let us see this flaws,
No matter who wins they'll still embrace a loss,
Tears for each soldier a rose for each loss,
It went not how it was supposed wish I knew the cost,
My brother's ghost haunting my dreams why the war is been lost,
My confidence feel forced Wish I...

HEAVY HEARTED
Two wrongs don't make a right am among survivors whose future wasn't bright,
It might be because we lost sight of what's right,
We passed through dark times the worst fight was searching for the light,
The nights chilly praying to my creator to help me hang tight,
But despite the quite prayers to extradite my karma I still shock in fright,
The night wasn't good but the mood was polite,
They judged the cover of my book with one look and threw spite,
It took a while for my potential to ignite,
Can't...

Animus or Animal
-
With feral intensity pursuing prey
a killers' instincts seen in eyes
I chased you
hunting you down
never possessing enough
to sate this animal lust
taming me with your own wild passion
becoming my all
my purpose and being
forever curled by your feet
never understanding until too late
that your animus so unfulfilled ...
With feral intensity pursuing prey

never understanding until too late

The quiet one .
It’s not in the words she says . It’s everything she doesn’t say. Her mind says yes tell it all but her heart reminds her to take the alternative route the one less traveled . Full of superfluous nouns and phrases but not one adjective and her pronouns are known as her the quiet one . It’s her in body but not in spirit. She hides in brief conversation and she knows all about the weather . She checks everyday on her safe subject matter but you will never really know her but you will see her in her bright pink rain Mac even on a sunny day . She’s already ten steps ahead while others are left...

Reality
You are the type that must always be right
You just refuse to see the other side
Tear down the truth and build up more lies
What will it take for you to realize
That time is not going to rewind
-So you can come back to reality
And see things for what they’re meant to be
So you can take back all anomalies
Like all the imperfections in me- (Chorus)
You are the hype that is never contrite
You just infuse with the devil inside
The path you choose can lead to your demise
What will it take for you to realize
...
You just refuse to see the other side
Tear down the truth and build up more lies
What will it take for you to realize

Like all the imperfections in me- (Chorus)
You are the hype that is never contrite
You just infuse with the devil inside
The path you choose can lead to your demise
What will it take for you to realize

Things You Could Do That Would Hurt me More
Rip through my flesh
- anywhere, no need to be picky -
with a medium quality knife
like from one of those red handled sets Target sells.
Pour whatever stings most into the wound;
you'd know better than me.
Sew me back up slowly with a thick, rusty needle,
while some of the worst songs ever recorded are playing
like Bette Davis Eyes
or almost anything by Michael Bolton.
Put together a montage of video clips
of gut-wrenching cruelties,
the abject horrors that crush my soul
-racism, cruelty to animals, bullying-
and...

If I Died Now
If I died now
my life would be a footprint on a pond
A fart from a butterfly
A hilarious joke
muffled by a fighter jet
If I died now
my tombstone would be misspelled
my legacy as secure
as a bus half off a cliff
"I thought we were going to die!"
the passengers wouldn't say
because they did die
If I died now
I'd be half a rhyme
An unfinished doorbell chime
But you can always knock
my life would be a footprint on a pond
A fart from a butterfly
A hilarious joke
muffled by a fighter jet
If I died now
my tombstone would be misspelled
my legacy as secure
as a bus half off a cliff
"I thought we were going to die!"
the passengers wouldn't say
because they did die
If I died now
I'd be half a rhyme
An unfinished doorbell chime
But you can always knock

Resistant decay
The consciousness of it.
It rolled all the way to the edge and stopped.
It's aroma smelt of decadent disclosure, resistant decay,
where once,was love.
First discovered in 1952,under the eyes of the military.
Arrogantly, deceptively,they took it from under his nose.
Hear the wrath of almighty Gods.
But don't worry,it concluded.
Nothing of yours,will be sought or bought,under the guise of a different name
Sacred words,lessons taught.
Will destroy,from inside out,
All the atrocious men.
It rolled all the way to the edge and stopped.

Nothing of yours,will be sought or bought,under the guise of a different name

"Was she a drinker?"
"She was. But it was Whiskey mixed with Sherry."

Contradictory tendencies
Surprised, fulfilled adolescent,even older men's dreams.
A cool breeze.
Sweet intoxicating water,under the feet,
between the slick pale white thighs,
prized apart since five.
Scatter the dress. Up above head,
knicker high,
then down,never wore. This was denied.
On bed,face down,
once a beautiful swan.
Now crumpled and ugly, contradictory,
get on bus bombshell. See you in 2022,next year.
"Let me jus go and put something on!"
The lines of an iconic blonde.
Found,Face down in...
A cool breeze.
Sweet intoxicating water,under the feet,
between the slick pale white thighs,
prized apart since five.
Scatter the dress. Up above head,
knicker high,
then down,never wore. This was denied.
On bed,face down,
once a beautiful swan.
Now crumpled and ugly, contradictory,
get on bus bombshell. See you in 2022,next year.
"Let me jus go and put something on!"
The lines of an iconic blonde.
Found,Face down in...

cave man
(sensory overload)
I'm not fucked up
The world is
I just try to not step
in its shit too much
It may not look like it
but my head is ten feet
by ten feet
And it's usually overcrowded
So I try
to sneeze it out
Cough it out
Shit it out
Anything
I'm always staring out
the entrance of this cave
It takes a lot out of me
just to squeeze both eyes out
of the hole
I pull my hair back
because it gets snagged on buildings
and in crowds
And too much closeness ...

FAST LOVE
She can curl her hair and straighten it to , but
she can’t change and be a fool . She’s done that to many times before. She is waiting on the one who will appreciate her for how she is . Old fashioned and maybe that’s the problem living in a world that’s all about the new . Fast food , fast pace of life and fast love and that’s the other problem when she is slow to reveal .Maybe that’s a crime in the world today get the handcuffs and throw the key away . Truth is she doesn’t know anymore. Is she the problem Sometimes that’s how she feels coz nobody seems to want to hold hands and...
