This Kind of Rain
Broken never fades
Broken stays the same
No one knows a way
To fix so many damaged days
There's no cure for us
Like there's no cure for shame
There's no stopping this kind of rain
Thunder never cheats
Sudden hope fades and turns bleak
Bitterness stains the empty street
And laughter only burns the air we need
No cure for pain
No cure for pain
Not with this kind of rain
Just once I tried to see
If love could comfort me
So I floated out to sea
And there was nothing but grey
The sky was...
Broken stays the same
No one knows a way
To fix so many damaged days
There's no cure for us
Like there's no cure for shame
There's no stopping this kind of rain
Thunder never cheats
Sudden hope fades and turns bleak
Bitterness stains the empty street
And laughter only burns the air we need
No cure for pain
No cure for pain
Not with this kind of rain
Just once I tried to see
If love could comfort me
So I floated out to sea
And there was nothing but grey
The sky was...

Time machine
I step into the time machine,
I close my eyes,
mind my dreams.
I know where I will go.
Where will I go?
Out through the glass star shiny sky,
then spinning fast, they circle by.
Circles in my mind.
What will I find?
There is the window,
There he stands,
Holding the spiders in his hands,
Grey shirt, orange sleeves.
Down fall brown leaves.
Gone with the wind I stir on my way,
where will I go?
Where will I stay?
Grey clouds above,
Feel my own love.
Moon...
I close my eyes,
mind my dreams.
I know where I will go.
Where will I go?
Out through the glass star shiny sky,
then spinning fast, they circle by.
Circles in my mind.
What will I find?
There is the window,
There he stands,
Holding the spiders in his hands,
Grey shirt, orange sleeves.
Down fall brown leaves.
Gone with the wind I stir on my way,
where will I go?
Where will I stay?
Grey clouds above,
Feel my own love.
Moon...

Gonna die
I open the window, the breeze blows by,
I look below where down tears cry.
I'm gonna die.
I think of feelings I've held inside,
I said the least and did all I tried.
For all I tried.
Sorrows pour to the ground below, tomorrow everyone will know...
I had to go.
Reasons and seasons,
they all go by,
motivations for chasing dreams all die.
And so do I.
I look below where down tears cry.
I'm gonna die.
I think of feelings I've held inside,
I said the least and did all I tried.
For all I tried.
Sorrows pour to the ground below, tomorrow everyone will know...
I had to go.
Reasons and seasons,
they all go by,
motivations for chasing dreams all die.
And so do I.

She's bad food
The soil grabbed her
The night pulled her in
She was welcomed
Due to her past of sin
Lies and deceit
Their menu that night
They loved every minute
Relished each bite
They drank off her
Dark deluded mind
Got drunk off her
Raw thoughts entwined
They fed on her deeds
Her soul was there food
Her life was just perfect
One with no good
The night pulled her in
She was welcomed
Due to her past of sin
Lies and deceit
Their menu that night
They loved every minute
Relished each bite
They drank off her
Dark deluded mind
Got drunk off her
Raw thoughts entwined
They fed on her deeds
Her soul was there food
Her life was just perfect
One with no good

Tight Rope
Is it not sad
that one must be
a little Radical
to become free
from those
Persuasive
Loud
Soft spoken
pretty packaging
non binary
Non open minded

What to do?
What does one do when taking on much verbal abuse?
Got no money or place to retreat to.
Wishful thinking.
Isn't promising.
Shits fucked up. What else is new?
Every goddamn morning i enter the house from a hard night at work.
Not 5 goddamn minutes later the bitchin starts.
God my fucking head begins to hurt.
Why does the one i love with my last fucking breath inflict this shit storm upon me?
As the migraine starts, hear my desperate plea "God please, kill me. End this fucking agony. Deliver me from this damned hellish life that i hate all so very...

Till We Meet Again
With a sad sigh
I say goodbye to the world of spoken word
As my imagination dwindles
And the flames of my ideas burn out
Their ashes blown through the wind, riding the breeze
I stare as the light of my glory ends
I lay down the pen that had the power to make universes
I renounce the potential of creation at the tips of my fingers
After choosing my own road and leaving a trail
Instead of following the ways carved and walked by many
My journey ends where it started
An ill lit room where the darkness at the bowels of humanity is set free ...
I say goodbye to the world of spoken word

I renounce the potential of creation at the tips of my fingers
After choosing my own road and leaving a trail
Instead of following the ways carved and walked by many

An ill lit room where the darkness at the bowels of humanity is set free ...

Golden Petals
Who is he
Is he better then me
I’ve heard some things
God I hope they’re not true
You use to be
All I ever dreamed of
I tried to tell you
Couldn’t find the courage
So I tried to show you
But was too late
As I saw the truth
I held back the tears
Smiled as my dreams broke
As my heart was torn
I felt my Golden Petals fall to the floor
Who is he
Did he hurt you
I’ve heard some things
He better not not hope they’re true
I would be lying
If I said I didn’t...
Is he better then me
I’ve heard some things
God I hope they’re not true
You use to be
All I ever dreamed of
I tried to tell you
Couldn’t find the courage
So I tried to show you
But was too late
As I saw the truth
I held back the tears
Smiled as my dreams broke
As my heart was torn
I felt my Golden Petals fall to the floor
Who is he
Did he hurt you
I’ve heard some things
He better not not hope they’re true
I would be lying
If I said I didn’t...

Little Lost Boys
Little Lost Boys
When i was a Little Girl
I played Peter,
And rescued Wendy from Captain Hook
And the crocodiles
Tick, tick, tick
Meanwhile, the swallowed clock in my abdomen
Counted down minutes
Until my insides would betray me.
I carved symbols into Neverland trees,
Symbols that i could never carve
Quite deep enough into me,
And prayed my bark would scar quick.
When i was a Little Girl
I played Peter
Peter always dressed in clothes made out of leaves
"Lost Boys! ,...

Bluest of Skies1
Bluest of skies
Brightest sun
A mother softly cries
For her lifeless son
Bluest of skies
Summer fun
Child’s frightened cries
Silenced by his father’s gun
Vacant eyes
Distant gaze
Our bluest skies
Her darkest days
Brightest sun
A mother softly cries
For her lifeless son
Bluest of skies
Summer fun
Child’s frightened cries
Silenced by his father’s gun
Vacant eyes
Distant gaze
Our bluest skies
Her darkest days
