All I’ve Got
I know I’m not as pretty
As those who came before me
It makes me wonder why it is
You say that you adore me
I know I’m not as smart
As others that you’ve dated
I’m not sure why you chose me
I never graduated
I look into this mirror
And I think I’m a mistake
That karma brought me to you
My heart is meant to break
I know I’m not quite confident
Can’t hold my head up high
I can’t look up, am I enough?
Keep asking myself why
I don’t know why I do this
Compare myself to others

Choked
Dewy raindrops
Roll downwards
On misted glass
Creating a distorted view
Of the world outside
From where i reside
It's dark, dank, and grey
And lonely, and isolating
The pitter patter
Echoes the rythm of my heartbeat
Soft, and fluid
Freely flowing
I imagine
Flying
My wings outstretched
Gliding through the silver tears
Abandoned
Below the greying clouds
That hang like shrouds
I begin to drown
As i freefall
Drenched feathers
And soaking wings
A deluge
Drowning within

the new tyranny
The New Tyranny
I had this nagging headache and went to see
my doctor, his waiting room was full of humanity
with an assortment of illnesses
The table in the middle of the floor used to be
full of newspapers and magazines, it was nude and
didn't even covered with a tablecloth
there was silence, ten patients looking at their
mobile phones while waiting to be called
I walked home took an aspirin and went to
bed in the night it rained
At dawn, the rain trumpeted on the old tiles
I stayed in bed until the rain turned into a soft ...

Unread Heart
wandering thoughts of reflection
judgement inking poisoned thoughts
tainted quill lay upon blank crinkled parchment
purple blood ink fading upon an unread heart
dripping from soul to sanities darkness
life's lessons captivates stone cold passion
silence of laughter voids contentment
taunted tears linger upon painted lashes
smeared mascara streaks decaying dreams
memories screaming whispers echoing failure
fake sweet kisses unfold passionate deception
intimacy heartlessly shared forever not understood
...

wonderful urge
one step,
two steps,
each
i thought
would
get me
closer,
my stomach
filled with
butterflies,
i wrote
her poems,
she
read them,
i cannot
conceal
any of
these
occurrences,
but her
rejection is
disappointing,
i thought
we were
friends.

Winter (Acrostic)
When my heart
in all its reverent and
nefarious offerings,
tossed a coin to the boatman,
eternity so began its
rapture upon my mind.

Falling Skies
This loneliness is
the prerequisite
of a hearts aching hunger,
that which twists
the mind and fragments
the soul into casams
of rubble where no
foundations can be laid,
riverbeds sit like deserts
across barren lands with falling skies,
dry winds stain iris's of rose;
Moments of lucid dreams plague a
well worn path and
"am I strong enough"
becomes my mantra.

You’re so Minky (fake)
Falseness oozes from your lips
Then you do an about face
With your other face
Then you do an about face
With your other face

Despair
I have a friend that never goes away
No matter what I say
He lingers there
From the shadows to the fray
He never goes away
No matter what I say
He lingers there
From the shadows to the fray
He never goes away

Amongst the pages of grocery lists and budgets
I've come to write about suicide
Looking at Taz, I cherish him
Like others, he is better off without me
I am pregnant and I see children everywhere
Even myself, a lost child who is angry and sad
Six-year-old me would be so disheartened
If she saw the loner I have become
Don't you dare say it out loud
No one will love you if you don't love yourself
Is it better to stay alone?
Than burden someone with that task?
I cut them off, they reach out
But I can't see them through...
