Listening to voices
I hear them all the time
Teasing, tempting, enticing
Telling me I'll feel better
While their true intentions are hiding
I know what's going on
I wasn't born yesterday
My mistakes are plenty
My wrongs always here to stay
These thoughts confuse me
I want to do right
But they have other ideas
Blinding my sight
Tonight I'll be wallowing
In my most loathsome thoughts
Praying to God
That I don't get caught
Cursing my sickening self
For falling for the trap
Listened to...

Once They Told Me
Once they told me long ago
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...

Boxed in
Boxed in
I'm trying to breathe.
Expressions of self hit the glass
and fall limp with crooked wings
leaving nothing but a smear of hopeless feathers
My soul peeking out of this
mime-created imaginary cube,
I reach out and my fingers crumple
against an invisible wall
A prison - is it of my own making?
What holds me inside?
The easy answer is fear
but there is no prowling tiger out there
no mortal enemy
so fight-flight-freeze makes no rational sense
Yet here I sit, encased in ice. ...

So much beneath...
Oh. I hate it.
The eyes and glances,
The hands and caresses,
They like it when I am dirt.
To be dirt I would love,
But less than ground I am...
Knowing I will go much beneath that
Knowing they will too.

Desire
The wildest flame
has come to claim,
will conquer all
that's lost to shame.
I give no blame
in Satan's name
for all who fall
will have to pay.

Too in the head
Boxed in toxic, eventually falls apart.
Wearing woolly hair,in the shape of a hat.
They accessed the mind,of this particular guy.
For a particular time, waiting for his breakthrough,
Now access, Access,
Access denied.

Universal law baby
You broke these people down.
They became ashamed of what they did.
It really wasn't good.
You made these people, feel so small and dumb. You cannot be played,as they liked.
Even if you are played,it doesn't make you weak or run down.
You're the real magician. Without actually trying.
You know how to take a negative and turn it into a positive.To turn nothing into something,is a skill everyone has.
It's all about law.
A universal law baby.
You got that pow-wow!
Your shit is extremely agitating.

hyper aware
never was this an epiphany
the basis never changed
i’ll embrace this dead-end symphony
of anachronistic rage
dependence to be needed
and the curse to be without
impedimental sediment,
my hinderance of doubt
neuroticism so inevitably
the price of eccentricity
the ever-present horror that is
based upon my history
and time has run it’s course
but i’ll never feel okay
until...

Idealization
I see the world ending
And I keep on pretending
To have plans for the future like you
Maybe it’s the snow
Or the self-hatred I sow
That makes it look like its not worth pulling through
I try to think forward
There’s fog, mist, and mortar
I couldn’t save myself a cent if I tried
I found an old letter
From myself from when I was better
It said, “Sorry I didn’t meet you before I died”
Oh, smoke in trees
Are you a sign or just a...

Middle States
Was it in Iowa, a beautiful state with rivers and lakes
that Trump won 50%of the votes, or was I wrong it
might have been Idaho, where great spuds are grown
and that is the problem, this vast expanse of land
in the heart of America, yet unknown to the many who
think America is New York and Los Angeles.
When I think of the people of that many states unknown,
yet are the places to decide an election.
I try to make a mental picture of a typical mid-western person
first, he is hard-working and calls his father sir ...

love hides
she paints on
her lipstick, makeup,
trying to conceal
her many years,
eyes looking around
that well known
smoky little bar,
crowded with
possibilities,
as she leaves with
her complete stranger
for the night, she
tries to fulfill her promise
to stop giving herself
away so easily.

Seeing mum
Such Serenity,a joy to see.
Express,the expression,from breast.
I watched my mother feed my baby sister. I wanted it to be me.
Seeing mum's balloon chest.
Done something to me.
It confused the hell outta me.
My sister suckled,while I felt my penis stiffen. This picture,a memory.
Now I'm in my late forties, happily married,with a six month old daughter,who uncannily,resembles my mother.
I advised my wife,to bottle feed.
Thank God, my wife agreed.
