reframed
do not regret
or mourn a
broken heart
it's life's way of
reminding you
that you actually
gave a shit about
someone or something
or mourn a
broken heart
it's life's way of
reminding you
that you actually
gave a shit about
someone or something

ATTN DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER (ADHD)
The boy was as quiet as a viper
Often talkative and very hyper
One thought crossed another
One topic intercepted the other.
Running…Running…Racing thoughts
Way too many to be caught.
He jumped and jived that young little boy
Who had ways of being cunning and coy!
Poor little fellow…they gave him pills
To settle him down and stay still!
“He lacks attention!”
“He needs detention!”
That’s what they thought and said
About the boy’s mind and head!
In a closet, I was found
Needing a break from all sound ...
Often talkative and very hyper
One thought crossed another

Best Friends Smoke a Joint in an Alley Outside a Club in the Next Town Over
I don’t know that smoke,” I said and turned
my face away from hazy,
lazy eyes
that spoke with swirling blue,
shameless lust –
a guise I know when we
are on our own.
I watch the cherry
glow from mouth to mouth,
the unfamiliar night
creeps in and I
don’t know the smoke
he’s blowing out tonight.
She don’t know that smoke,
he seeps into the dark.
She gets shy,
his smolder hands are slick
with heat. I cut confusion
eyes to his.
He’d never touched, ...
my face away from hazy,
lazy eyes
that spoke with swirling blue,
shameless lust –
a guise I know when we
are on our own.
I watch the cherry
glow from mouth to mouth,
the unfamiliar night
creeps in and I
don’t know the smoke
he’s blowing out tonight.
She don’t know that smoke,
he seeps into the dark.
She gets shy,
his smolder hands are slick
with heat. I cut confusion
eyes to his.
He’d never touched, ...

Careless Whispers
How do you address the deepness of the nonsense of negativity, that has come from those who are hell bent on saying what they want to say to you. 🤬 For sure it's necessary to understand that what we say to someone, without explaining the reason, or the need for not having a discussion to clear the air, and to take out the negativity, that has been thrown around like a run away train on the wrong tracks. But yet you are entitled to your own, personal opinions as well as I am entitled to mine. For sure we can never make a wrong RIGHT, without clarity and pure understanding of what was...

I run from gentle hands. II
I run from gentle hands
They pry you open
Examine every secret locked in your bones
They claim it's love, but you feel utterly exposed
I run from gentle hands
They say you'll only feel a pinch
As they slip, and your mouth is stitched
Gentle hands grip me harder than
Hard course hands I find sharp knives in
Gentle hands bind you, claiming you're too wild
These same gentle hands crucified the perfect child
I run from gentle hands
Because gentle hands don't gently understand
They pry you open
Examine every secret locked in your bones
They claim it's love, but you feel utterly exposed
I run from gentle hands
They say you'll only feel a pinch
As they slip, and your mouth is stitched
Gentle hands grip me harder than
Hard course hands I find sharp knives in
Gentle hands bind you, claiming you're too wild
These same gentle hands crucified the perfect child
I run from gentle hands
Because gentle hands don't gently understand

Lizard King
I’m the lizard king
Don’t know anything
I creep in the crevices
Lost souls I know
I’m everything squared
Slime on a rock I was there
I’m a living thing
Can’t figure it out by myself
I’m the supreme being
Don’t know who I am
Cave dweller in a man cave
Slug on a sofa
I’m the Lizard King
Singing to the choir
Don’t know anything
I creep in the crevices
Lost souls I know
I’m everything squared
Slime on a rock I was there
I’m a living thing
Can’t figure it out by myself
I’m the supreme being
Don’t know who I am
Cave dweller in a man cave
Slug on a sofa
I’m the Lizard King
Singing to the choir

Regurgitated Rumination
Remember that time
When we were happy?
The noise of the world
Could not stop us
Though they slapped us
With desperate warnings
We wrote them off
As jealous nothings
Together we broke
Molds and habits
At the end of the day
We did not give two shits
Discarded their sayings
Those stark warnings
Discounting every word
to live wholeheartedly
We ignored wisdom
Gave into delirium
To live our life of beauty
To live in hedonism
When we were happy?
The noise of the world
Could not stop us
Though they slapped us
With desperate warnings
We wrote them off
As jealous nothings
Together we broke
Molds and habits
At the end of the day
We did not give two shits
Discarded their sayings
Those stark warnings
Discounting every word
to live wholeheartedly
We ignored wisdom
Gave into delirium
To live our life of beauty
To live in hedonism

I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
Everybody wants something from me and I’m too fed up to reply
I hate that at these hard times I’m turning my back
And running away instead of facing it with pride
The moment I wanted to step out outside ,
I realized I have no one to share laugh
And I know I have no one to blame but myself
But I honestly get sicker and sicker each day
Everybody wants something from me and I’m too fed up to reply
I hate that at these hard times I’m turning my back
And running away instead of facing it with pride
The moment I wanted to step out outside ,
I realized I have no one to share laugh
And I know I have no one to blame but myself
But I honestly get sicker and sicker each day

Why we do what we do
There comes a time in each of our lives, that we have to learn to walk away from the very darkness of deepness, with it's negativity that draws us into a different kind of space that's out of this world. 🌎 For sure my question. ❓ TO you is more beneficial, to the well being of your insanity that has taken, over your life even your thoughts and dreams. For my question to you. ❓Why do we do that what we do 😞 when it comes to our relationships, as we choose to stay in a bad situation. For is it out of the love that you have not yet truly received, for is it that you...

“Waiting”
Waiting with insomnia,
My companion to the end.
Eyes closed, heart in pieces;
Too many to mend.
Racing thoughts, going so slow;
Dreams lost, couldn’t find my way.
Gave up long ago-
In supplication I pray.
A path with purpose;
A burden too great.
Dejected and hopeless
I carry this weight.
Unable to understand,
Or misunderstood.
Intention’s become blurred;
Beginning to question what’s good.
Half truths and trusting smiles;
Love laced with complete lies.
Spreading stain of deception
Bleeding before...
My companion to the end.
Eyes closed, heart in pieces;
Too many to mend.
Racing thoughts, going so slow;
Dreams lost, couldn’t find my way.
Gave up long ago-
In supplication I pray.
A path with purpose;
A burden too great.
Dejected and hopeless
I carry this weight.
Unable to understand,
Or misunderstood.
Intention’s become blurred;
Beginning to question what’s good.
Half truths and trusting smiles;
Love laced with complete lies.
Spreading stain of deception
Bleeding before...

Sanity
We spend our whole adult life
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in
Lyrically Inclined
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in

Trapped In Your Swollen Heart
Damaged.
Someone did you wrong.
Now we pay for it.
Shame to the one that did you wrong.
Shame on you for falling for it.
Over and over again.
You’re circling into your own tail.
A toxic circle of dizziness.
Good at times but can you come back?
Will you be trapped in the past?
The guy who hurt her the most she will forever love.
What did we do to pay this price?
What must be done to get what we deserve?
Someone did you wrong.
Now we pay for it.
Shame to the one that did you wrong.
Shame on you for falling for it.
Over and over again.
You’re circling into your own tail.
A toxic circle of dizziness.
Good at times but can you come back?
Will you be trapped in the past?
The guy who hurt her the most she will forever love.
What did we do to pay this price?
What must be done to get what we deserve?
