Needed Regardless
I rather be used
Relinquishing the unlove
The need for abuse
Relinquishing the unlove
The need for abuse

Cruel Ones
The cruel ones don’t let u up when you r down
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When you r down
Sit and smile at your misery
They sit and smile at my misery
Cruel ones won’t let u up
When ur down
Rip and pull at your heartstrings
Don’t feel…anything
They rip and pull
And u feel real small…Like you’re 2 foot tall
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When u r down
Till a time comes when you don’t care
And leave it all behind
Drop these feelings of being down
And these clowns...
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When you r down
Sit and smile at your misery
They sit and smile at my misery
Cruel ones won’t let u up
When ur down
Rip and pull at your heartstrings
Don’t feel…anything
They rip and pull
And u feel real small…Like you’re 2 foot tall
The cruel ones don’t let u up
When u r down
Till a time comes when you don’t care
And leave it all behind
Drop these feelings of being down
And these clowns...

Business Models
Now it seems the law is just for suckers
thanks to the win at all cost white boy votes
who everyone else knows are the fuckers
snorting winner's dope on their motor boats
in their cultural affirmation vice
where they bitch about crime, but do the drugs,
snuck through that border to reduce the price
by some fossil fuel motorhead thugs
whose motivation is to be in charge,
so they can knock down those pesky rules
preventing illicit sales at large,
especially in the public schools...
because they love the Jeffrey Epstein plan...

Cinder Trail
Tough as a chastity cast iron scinth...
The reaper, always the reaper.
"Now I'm walking alone on the cinder trail."
Forget the cut deep in your flesh.
Face the night as it was a flash.
"Now you're walking alone on the cinder trail."
Shoot down your loose phantoms...
The king is dead and there's no other.
"Now we're walking alone on the cinder trail."
The reaper, always the reaper.
"Now I'm walking alone on the cinder trail."
Forget the cut deep in your flesh.
Face the night as it was a flash.
"Now you're walking alone on the cinder trail."
Shoot down your loose phantoms...
The king is dead and there's no other.
"Now we're walking alone on the cinder trail."

Pulverize Human Dignity
Flesh Violated
Gore On The Sheets
Crying Remains
Fragmented Self-Esteem
Pulverize Human Dignity
A Crucial Experience
Frayed Personalities
Godforsaken Rites
Cleansing Remains
Feelings Aren't Important
Gorgeousness And Health
Crying Remains
They Take Your Lust
They Take Your Pride
They Pierce And Stitch And Scorch You
And Leave You Scarred For Life
Mutilated And Traumatized
Free Like A Bird
Gun In The Mouth
Calm The Remains
Gore On The Sheets
Crying Remains
Fragmented Self-Esteem
Pulverize Human Dignity
A Crucial Experience
Frayed Personalities
Godforsaken Rites
Cleansing Remains
Feelings Aren't Important
Gorgeousness And Health

They Take Your Pride
They Pierce And Stitch And Scorch You
And Leave You Scarred For Life

A, B, C’s of Insanity
Ambiguously Breeding Confusion, Deceptive Establishments Function.
Greatly Hindering Institutions;
Justice Knowingly Lost.
Missing No Opportunity; Prisons
Quadruple Rapidly. Squandering
Talents. Ultimately Vanishing Within Xenagogues; Yielding
Zabernism.

Navalny
You kill me I get stronger
I defy your lies that you sell
You kill me ten more will come
Red and white roses are appropriate
For a HERO we don’t forget
Navalny against the Assassins
I’ll see you in my sleep Putin Cretin
Putin will die a worse death nuclear
Little man trying to stand up against
Navalny HERO in us
Putin’s chef in a plane blasted
Being silent against him
Roses are rising against Putin
Navalny death be the death of us
...

Even Sweet Girls can be Bitter Princesses
The crown is mine, said the princess
in a voice as sweet as snow.
None can play in this kingdom now.
Not a step, not a sound, not a show...
Until she says so, until she lets it go.
With a smile she took her throne
beneath the sky’s golden glow.
Her decree echoed through the land
and all the games ceased to flow.
Until she says so, until she lets it go.
The court stood silent, eyes wide,
as the princess ruled the floor.
Her presence strong, undeniable.
Her will, they would not ignore.
Until she says...
in a voice as sweet as snow.
None can play in this kingdom now.
Not a step, not a sound, not a show...

With a smile she took her throne

Her decree echoed through the land
and all the games ceased to flow.

The Tyranny Of Indifference
We will stamp on you
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...

narcissist in my house II; the end
he doesn't want to see outside himself, nor does he want to do anything that doesn't benefit him.
he doesn't care enough about himself to have the capacity to care for others.
he was never taught the inherent value of ... and he refuses to learn.
he hates me because he ain't me.
he thrived when I struggled because it gave the illusion we were equal.
he always knew I was better than him, and now he knows I know.
instead of leaving or leveling up he rode my coattails and hoped for the best.
I will not treat him as he treats me.
I will...

Childless(cat) lady
Childless lady
Maybe she is barren but she wants one
Couple goes to the clinic hoping they can deliver
IVF recipe gives dreams to the unecumberded
Get home late didn’t see the text
All I see is I’m becoming a mother
Go to the hospital with dreams realized
On the way turn on the radio they said
IVF is against the law
So we go back to the family home
All that greets us is our Cats
Maybe she is barren but she wants one
Couple goes to the clinic hoping they can deliver
IVF recipe gives dreams to the unecumberded
Get home late didn’t see the text
All I see is I’m becoming a mother
Go to the hospital with dreams realized
On the way turn on the radio they said
IVF is against the law
So we go back to the family home
All that greets us is our Cats
