Jessica, You Teacher
24 years
Jesus lived longer
...little momma
Your little boy
was your first
Now he is
your only
So easily
you showed us
what Jesus said
all along
everybody is our
neighbor
our Jesus
...our Jessica
...and until
Jessica’s life matters
nobody’s life matters
She was just
a little home care nurse
Just a busy little slave
She wanted to be
free so bad
...she paid with her life
She knew what I know
I’m not free to...

me vs me
here we go again are you ready
let's see what hell I feel today in my brain
are you done already
I'm probably going insane
here goes the pain
now the panic sensation of how I think I can't breathe
come on beat me with a cane
what lies underneath
I hate being like this
here comes the depression
I start to reminisce
this is my confession
here comes the psychosis
it all seems normal seeing things that are not there
all apart of my diagnosis
get out of my hair
I mostly see symbols but it...

No Words
In silence I lie
this emptiness and I
No words need be spoken
It's here that I've found
my thoughts go round and round
No words need be spoken
A comforting chill
the old familiar thrill
as the emptiness swallows me whole
I no longer fight
I don't possess the might
and into the void I return
In silence I lie
this emptiness and I
No words need be spoken
It's here that I've found
my thoughts go round n round
No words need be spoken
I've been here so long
it no longer feels wrong ...
this emptiness and I
No words need be spoken
It's here that I've found
my thoughts go round and round
No words need be spoken
A comforting chill
the old familiar thrill
as the emptiness swallows me whole
I no longer fight
I don't possess the might
and into the void I return
In silence I lie
this emptiness and I
No words need be spoken
It's here that I've found
my thoughts go round n round
No words need be spoken
I've been here so long
it no longer feels wrong ...

Sweet 19
Oh sweet 19
You were fresh and blue
Getting high was something new
Sweet 19
Come back to me
Nothings the same
Since you leave
Things change
Friends gone
Memories
The only thing I own
Oh sweet 19
You take my spirit and pride
Letting me with a lot to think about
Oh sweet 19
Won't you get back to me
Can't you see
Nothings the same since you leave
You were fresh and blue
Getting high was something new
Sweet 19
Come back to me
Nothings the same
Since you leave
Things change
Friends gone
Memories
The only thing I own
Oh sweet 19
You take my spirit and pride
Letting me with a lot to think about
Oh sweet 19
Won't you get back to me
Can't you see
Nothings the same since you leave

What Kind of Privilege Gets You Shot?
She just said what
she was thinking!
We’re all objectified
lower-class slaves
...who play games
with words like “free“
While the capital
of our future wages
becomes a promise
sans equal
consideration
(Tax free tricks
for “poofed”
currency, straight
from your pen
...blessed by holy
suits of trade)
Confidence games
of politics creating
...an imaginary
glass wall
between
indigent poor
communities
Just...

Her
Her arms
have held
others,
I can't
remember.
Her lips
have kissed
others,
I have tried
to forget.
Her heart
has loved
others,
mine keeps
reminding me

Those Moments
As I recall some memories from the back of my mind
For a brief second, place myself in those moments in time
It's surreal
The way it feels
As if I never left
Places that I dare not forget
As if those moments still exist
Dreams too homely to resist
Yet so painful to revisit
Knowing imagination's limits
Loved ones gone forever
In that moment, breathe again
Ties long ago severed
Greet them, and ask them how they've been
Surroundings replaced by rooms
In which I'll never again set foot
They...

heart broken
I feel my heart ripped from my chest
I am so stressed
I'm trying to stay calm
I'm gonna go off like a bomb
you condemn me for my flaws and mistakes I do
but with others, you forgive them over and over again
you don't talk to me I need a clue
you bring more pain
you won't answer the questions I have to find out my way
why can't you be honest you don't love me
now the skies are grey
I know I have to accept it and let you be
you kept complaining about how you weren't happy with her
but yet you chose her again...

You are the prey
The setting sun's aura
Casts vivid paintings across the sky
I long to breathe in it's brilliance
My sick heart eats away
From the inside out
My obsession will destroy me
She loves to weave her web
Ensnared, I struggle to get free
Here she comes....
To devour from the inside out
Twisted lust
I'm being sucked into
Her tangled web
Silence...
Stillness...
Tension builds...
Stop, stay away
Help, I've become the prey!
Casts vivid paintings across the sky
I long to breathe in it's brilliance
My sick heart eats away
From the inside out
My obsession will destroy me
She loves to weave her web
Ensnared, I struggle to get free
Here she comes....
To devour from the inside out
Twisted lust
I'm being sucked into
Her tangled web
Silence...
Stillness...
Tension builds...
Stop, stay away
Help, I've become the prey!

Flood
Low hangs the moon over the trees tonight
Bathing the forest in it's brilliant grey light
I lie still beneath the starless sky
As a rain drop falls into my eye
A thunderous boom rings out from above
I await the storm I've been dreaming of
The sky bursts open and the rains pour down
My naked body lay drenched on the ground
I watch as the lightning illuminates a cloud
Opening my mouth, I scream aloud
To my surprise, not a sound comes out
Suddenly I'm renewed with dread and doubt
What is this thing I've come to be?
An empty shell...
Bathing the forest in it's brilliant grey light
I lie still beneath the starless sky
As a rain drop falls into my eye
A thunderous boom rings out from above
I await the storm I've been dreaming of
The sky bursts open and the rains pour down
My naked body lay drenched on the ground
I watch as the lightning illuminates a cloud
Opening my mouth, I scream aloud
To my surprise, not a sound comes out
Suddenly I'm renewed with dread and doubt
What is this thing I've come to be?
An empty shell...

Torn and tired
A damaged heart,
Which the world has torn apart.
Left on the ground,
beaten while everyone stands around.
No mercy from God on my soul, my shoulders have a heavy toll.
A burden I carry with me,
Allowing me to never be free..
My reality has burned up to ash,
What have I done to deserve this I ask.
I guess it's the price to pay to help, harsh life is dealt.
Nobody cares about my pain,
The pain that comes from my heart with nothing to gain.
But only my tears to swallow, along with my pride leaving me hallow.
I have no more to...
Which the world has torn apart.
Left on the ground,
beaten while everyone stands around.
No mercy from God on my soul, my shoulders have a heavy toll.
A burden I carry with me,
Allowing me to never be free..
My reality has burned up to ash,
What have I done to deserve this I ask.
I guess it's the price to pay to help, harsh life is dealt.
Nobody cares about my pain,
The pain that comes from my heart with nothing to gain.
But only my tears to swallow, along with my pride leaving me hallow.
I have no more to...

Suicide Note (to my love)
If your reading this poem then it's to late I'm sorry
After I post this I'm about to drink a lethal remedy
I don't need you to love me anymore or listen
Fuck love and happy thoughts I just wanna die quickly
I'm tired of being lonely alone without you by my side
So much pain I'm sorry I don't need your pity
Depression and anxiety finally got me broken
I hope you are happy without me burn my body
I'm sorry I failed you and fucked up on my promises
Forever and always I hope you made it baby
Your the only person that loved me truly broken ...
