For a Walk
I took a rock for a walk
The one pressing down on my chest
In hopes it might grow lighter
Yet it only got heavier
Crushing my heart
With each step I took
The one pressing down on my chest
In hopes it might grow lighter
Yet it only got heavier
Crushing my heart
With each step I took

Schizo affective
Every new beginning.
Exists more poignantly.
In my fantasy.
Than in reality.
And the grandiose delusions.
Are finally wrong.
I'm simply.
Mundane.
Important to no ones.
Story.
I have no deus ex machina.
Just personal private moments.
And poorly worded.
Psychosis poetry.

Torpor of routine
I'm.
Not.
Missing.
Out.
On.
Life.
I'm.
Just.
Waiting.
To.
Die.
It's.

You.
Want.
But,
I.
Never.

Sadness
Sadness is worst of visits.
She drinks all our tea.
Devours all the cupcakes
and never goes away.
She drinks all our tea.
Devours all the cupcakes
and never goes away.

Imprisoned
When sorrow fills the void
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore

Titanic
In the deep we peacefully sleep
Though our ship did swiftly sink
In frozen tides where icebergs lie
We felt little pain as we quietly died
Though our ship did swiftly sink
In frozen tides where icebergs lie
We felt little pain as we quietly died

Oceans I wept
At what depth must these oceans I wept
reach, for the sorrows—in which
I drowned—to subside?
reach, for the sorrows—in which

Everyday.
I struggle.
To find.
Basic.
Motivations.
To live.
Other.
Than.
Drugs.

Polar
As your air frostbites
tears form with the overflow;
shaping icicles
from the emotions that rage
in the chambers of my heart.
tears form with the overflow;
shaping icicles

Trust
Oval emeralds faceted by lurking shadows, held between milky pillars, staying centered within her marbled temples of broken.

Tear from the Moon
A glowing pearl
From the heart of the sky
Fell with delicacy
Along my lachrymose eyes
A tear from the moon
From the heart of the sky
Fell with delicacy
Along my lachrymose eyes
A tear from the moon
