The True Two Party System
I've been to Greece
England
France
Even Iran
With my friend back in ten
I remember thinking
What the fucks up with American men
Ive had more problems when
I go out
It's almost a fight
Ive calmed with years
But face the same spite
You would think I feel unsafe cause of the men
No
Most
It's the hag faced, youngling, or bitter women
They hit home
Almost every time I'm out
Last time at five guys
An old lady staring with hate as she stuffed mouth
But it's always like...

Bathe In Ashes
Where your world lay dead, covered in gore
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...

the importance of the small things
The importance of the small things
Out of a crack at the foot of a wall, a tiny baby mouse
blinded by the brightness of this autumnal day
I picked up the new life and put it in the palm of my hand
sensing the warmth, the baby curled up and slept.
To think this tiny animal had a heart, lungs, liver and
so, just like me; living in a world too immense to
grasp other than an outline of space and time.
In less than a week, the baby mouse will be an adult

Make it Today
Destruction awaited at my life’s initiation, restrained, but contemplatin my annihilation, though consciously I couldn’t yet glimpse it, when difficulty arose my human frailty exerted itself, I had a feeling of undeniable illness
Resilience is more easily ascertained as a youth, when brain chemistry’s more malleable, irresolute
All future opportunities remain attainable, but I lacked encouragement and mentorship, my attempts at achievement heeded no result
[chorus]
Couldn’t deal with it sober, so I sedated it away, crushed it up, injected it – ingested it...

Hopscotch Lines
A long haired girl
with a light blue dress
jumps across hopscotch'd lines.
Every bound blinds me
as I lose her, in the sky
Then, clouds ground her
Grey turns the day
As upon the tin roof
begin the taps
of the drumming rain
With that steady beat
we dance upon the concrete porch
With seven colors of chalk
strewn across its slate.
I marvel, at how
little girls build their worlds
in primarily bright shades
Seven sides then, to this day
Born into a rainy life
As...

An Odyssey
An Odyssey
A fiery necklace of jade stretches down her throat during their goodbye kiss. When he boards the gangplank the beads sink into her navel where they ignite. She says, “If you come back maimed I will take care of you. If what you saw haunts you, I’ll exorcise your demons with my touch. If you return to me as a corpse I will keep fresh roses on your grave. But please give Agamemnon this note I wrote for you that you are married to a woman who will surely perish of heartbreak if you come home in a casket.”
“He would call me a coward.”
“Be my lovely coward. Go...

SHE
She was there
Walking in silent steps
Leaving no trace
She was ever there
In your bed
So you woke up
Alone and listened
But all you heard was quiet
She wasn’t there
With all her fire
Breathing life into your lungs
But she’d be back
She always came back
But did you know that when she left
She left with her thoughts
She never left them on the hook
For you to find
And did you know
She took with her all tears that she’d cry
When you left and left
Her all alone
She was there ...
Walking in silent steps
Leaving no trace
She was ever there
In your bed
So you woke up
Alone and listened
But all you heard was quiet

With all her fire
Breathing life into your lungs
But she’d be back
She always came back
But did you know that when she left
She left with her thoughts
She never left them on the hook
For you to find
And did you know
She took with her all tears that she’d cry
When you left and left
Her all alone

Sick Schket
i jus keep rappin n writin it all down
spillin my guts like i’ma bout to skip town
makin plans dreamin bout the west coast
so see ya later but then again maybe i won’t
obsessin over voices spillin outa my head
can’t fkn focus on my work for more thana min
tryna rhyme everythin like a neurotic compulsion
my own predispositions are fkn revolting
like who do i think i am, somethin fkn holy
that’s laughable when i’m so fkn toxic n lonely
bored with this life n can’t stop yappin about it
wanna tell them all to fuck...
