Why bother?
It's simpler to just stay here, stay put. nothing ever happens the way you want it to in life. there are always some elements that interfere with the intentions you've shared with the aether. you've been told many a great things about how rewarding overcoming the challenges can be and such, but in the end you've been had. forced to conform to the normalcy, the inadequacy, of the circumstances unfolding before you. a stronger infusion of the tea of opportunity, forgetting that opportunity was the prize and instead becoming merely a tribute to what you truly wanted. "Expect disappointment...

If I'd been there..
I hope you know I’m thinking of you,
while you lie in that cold, fluorescent haze,
counting the cracks in the ceiling,
listening to the hum of a world
that keeps moving without you.
I know how it feels.
I know how the walls whisper
like they want to keep you forever.
I know how the silence
can be louder than the screams
that got you there in the first place.
I’ve been there too.
More times than I care to count.
I know the weight of a locked door,
the way time slows down
until it feels like you’re drowning in days...
while you lie in that cold, fluorescent haze,
counting the cracks in the ceiling,
listening to the hum of a world
that keeps moving without you.
I know how it feels.
I know how the walls whisper
like they want to keep you forever.
I know how the silence
can be louder than the screams
that got you there in the first place.
I’ve been there too.
More times than I care to count.
I know the weight of a locked door,
the way time slows down
until it feels like you’re drowning in days...

Where'd you go 17
Living life at the edge
Stuck between kid and adult
Abyss looming as we teeter on the ledge
With the world in our hands
And fire in our eyes
We didn't care about apathy
As long as we got high on Friday night
Our minds spun on donut rides
In a gravel parking lot
Copping beers from the store
Hoping we didn't get caught
Speeding fast with windows down
Wind blowing through our hair
Meeting up with friends in town
Without worry or care
Come back 17
I'm lost in this...
Living life at the edge
Stuck between kid and adult
Abyss looming as we teeter on the ledge
With the world in our hands
And fire in our eyes
We didn't care about apathy
As long as we got high on Friday night
Our minds spun on donut rides
In a gravel parking lot
Copping beers from the store
Hoping we didn't get caught
Speeding fast with windows down
Wind blowing through our hair
Meeting up with friends in town
Without worry or care
Come back 17
I'm lost in this...

Another day dawns
And I'm propped up
Like a pale corpse
To lead charge into battle
Pushed and berated on
A beast of burden
With no reprieve
From bound shackles
Sent home a shell
To my loves
A broken boned
Fading soul
And I'm propped up
Like a pale corpse
To lead charge into battle
Pushed and berated on
A beast of burden
With no reprieve
From bound shackles
Sent home a shell
To my loves
A broken boned
Fading soul

Discombobulated Heart
When I did not know no pain.
Life looked rosy, the future the same.
Now my heart is discombobulated.
Esp when someone Mentions your name.
Pain returns again & again.
Future looks bleak, black dog like!
Time slows to a trickle.
As light fades away.
I need space of time & distance.
Patience calm & confidence.
Till time speeds up again.
Times I've seen you.
Listened to your say.
Ok I'#ve had my say too.
I'm left confused.
As to what was actually said.
Do you find that's when others.
Talk about me...

TIME
After making her fall to her knees
Ignoring her just coz you could
It doesn’t feel very nice it slowly
cuts her up . Her self esteem is
dissected just because she felt
to much . Now after her heart
ended up in her feet and her
mind had jogged round the block
a few times chasing dreams and
the elusive why? . She ended up
exhausted and now she has the
energy for only thinking about
herself . Your name fading
amongst the pain and your face
a shadow she can’t see your eyes
anymore. With suffering comes...

No Way Out
I’ve been screaming at the glass all night,
But it only stares, it never fights.
Who am I? What have I become?
A shadow left of someone numb.
I reach, I claw, I beg, I burn—
But you just twist, you never turn.
If I break the glass, will I feel the pain?
Or am I nothing, just a stain?
Tear me down, I’m begging you,
Show me the truth I never knew.
Am I the curse? Am I the sin?
Or just the cage I’m trapped within?
I’m falling fast, there’s no way out—
Tear me down, erase the doubt.
I can’t stand this endless...
But it only stares, it never fights.
Who am I? What have I become?
A shadow left of someone numb.
I reach, I claw, I beg, I burn—
But you just twist, you never turn.
If I break the glass, will I feel the pain?
Or am I nothing, just a stain?
Tear me down, I’m begging you,
Show me the truth I never knew.
Am I the curse? Am I the sin?
Or just the cage I’m trapped within?
I’m falling fast, there’s no way out—
Tear me down, erase the doubt.
I can’t stand this endless...

Tell Me..?
I see you there, in the glass again,
Eyes like strangers, don’t know where you’ve been.
You don’t look at me; you just look through—
Who the hell am I talking to?
I try to smile, but it’s out of place,
You just stare with that same blank face.
Tell me, do you feel the way I do?
Like everything’s broken, and it’s all on you?
Tell me why you can’t love me.
Why you let the cracks run so deep.
Tell me why you hide your face,
Like you’re ashamed to take up space.
I’m begging you—just one time—
Look at me, maybe even...
Eyes like strangers, don’t know where you’ve been.
You don’t look at me; you just look through—
Who the hell am I talking to?
I try to smile, but it’s out of place,
You just stare with that same blank face.
Tell me, do you feel the way I do?
Like everything’s broken, and it’s all on you?
Tell me why you can’t love me.
Why you let the cracks run so deep.
Tell me why you hide your face,
Like you’re ashamed to take up space.
I’m begging you—just one time—
Look at me, maybe even...

It's time to revaluate
They say that as we get older we are supposed, to become more wiser to have learned, right from wrong. 🤔 But yet we continue, to make the same old habits become the norm, then asking ourselves what am I doing wrong. 🤨 WHY can't I find myself again within thyself the person, that I was before I changed from them to now. 🤔 Just wanting something better for my life, yet I'm still living in confusion and drama and chaos, 😮 putting my self esteem in a place that has been proven, it's not a mind game but it's I who keeps getting in the same old situations. For sure...

Splintered
There’s a crack in the mirror,
A fracture in my skin.
Every step draws you nearer,
Every breath lets you in.
You’ve made a home inside my head,
Your whispers claw, your hunger spreads.
I tried to run, I tried to hide,
But now I’m splinters on the inside.
Break me down—
Make me less than whole.
Tear apart
What’s left of my soul.
I am the wound; you are the knife.
Splinter me—take what’s left of this life.
You take the pieces one by one,
A thief who works before the sun.
And in the shards, I see...
A fracture in my skin.
Every step draws you nearer,
Every breath lets you in.
You’ve made a home inside my head,
Your whispers claw, your hunger spreads.
I tried to run, I tried to hide,
But now I’m splinters on the inside.
Break me down—
Make me less than whole.
Tear apart
What’s left of my soul.
I am the wound; you are the knife.
Splinter me—take what’s left of this life.
You take the pieces one by one,
A thief who works before the sun.
And in the shards, I see...

The Kiss
Rodin's sculpture in marble.
One of the three.
One I've seen the most of.
It's called the Lewis one.
First shown in Lewis 1914.
Puritanical protests.
To It's erotic nature.
I too was influenced.
By Rodin's.... the Kiss.
Part of my sex education.
Get a firm grip.
An arm round my neck.
Go in for a full on snog.
Gotta say it worked for me.
But they where naked.
Never got that far.
As a starter...
It was clothed for me.
Rodin's the Kiss.
Turns out to be not quite. ...

Bitter-Sweet Memories
Tonight, a soft melody plays in my heart,
echoing faintly, the sweetest love.
Here, thinking of you under clear moonlight,
you are still on my mind.
The sultry summer nights we spent together,
in pastel shades of lucid blue,
the memories of your beautiful brown eyes
and smooth caramel skin tone.
Come back to me—
you were all I wanted.
Now I’m here with memories,
memories—bitter-sweet memories.
There can never be another like you,
the one who made my every sunrise,
the woman—Puerto Rican,...
echoing faintly, the sweetest love.
Here, thinking of you under clear moonlight,
you are still on my mind.
The sultry summer nights we spent together,
in pastel shades of lucid blue,
the memories of your beautiful brown eyes
and smooth caramel skin tone.

There can never be another like you,
the one who made my every sunrise,
