Loss
How can you lose yourself like your door key down the sofa or your car key found in the washing machine. Everything everywhere but not the place it should be. I mean for goodness' sake how can you get to that place.
I think it is tied to loss. The loss of anything socially economically and your health. It all combined and comes like a harvest but you cannot see the fruits of life when you feel left behind. The bad apple that was to bruised to be eaten but we forget the taste. It would still be the same but when you are on a losing streak you forget rationale and the pros and cons....

dove of peace
The dove of peace
A white dove landed on his windowsill
plucked a feather of its plumage and flew off
He opened the window, picked up
the white feather wondered whom he had
betrayed with his silence
Looked into the fathomless gulch of his
consciousness and petrified bones of what
he should have done but failed to do
the many he should have called but didn't
because it was late in the night
The phone in the hall, cobwebbed by neglect
he lifted the receiver, heard the hum
of eternity and what had...

Creators Guilt
I cannot recall the way the air tasted that day,
A suffocating reality that twists through my veins.
I cannot recall the way it smelled,
So long ago the night looks almost like day.
I’m supposed to remember.
To sit in my shame and guilt.
But I cannot remember,
I cannot recall.
I’m supposed to hurt,
That’s how I know it meant something;
But I can only tip my head back,
And swallow.
Forgive me;
I cannot be sorry.
Alone again, at least until the fall,
A...

The Good, Obedient Girl
"Go in that position, baby."
"Yeah, just like that."
"That's a good little girl."
Diana's father spoke these words often, entangling her in a web of lies. Incest, sex, and so many horrible lies.
It's her fault. She didn't scream, so it doesn't count.
She took pity on him, and he took advantage of her empathy.
Both her parents in some way were pulling the strings.
To make her into mommy and daddy's perfect little girl.
Dare she might a single sound, they'd scream at her and...
"Yeah, just like that."
"That's a good little girl."

I'm not trash
I am something you used to own.
Once living in your home.
I used to brighten up your day.
Until you decided to throw me away.
So, everything works according to plan?
Then how did I end up in a garbage can?
Once living in your home.
I used to brighten up your day.
Until you decided to throw me away.
So, everything works according to plan?
Then how did I end up in a garbage can?

Sitting With The Shame
I've ignored you for a long time,
thinking I needed to fix you.
But that's what feeds the self hate cycle.
I'm getting off the train that leads back to home,
the place where it all began.
thinking I needed to fix you.
But that's what feeds the self hate cycle.
I'm getting off the train that leads back to home,

No Right to be Angry
I sit here, empty, blank.
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
your words are empty,
and so are you.
so are you
so are you
so are you...
They say I have no right to be angry.
In that case, I resign.
questions about what I'm doing to lose weight,
the next job I'll have,
the next boyfriend.
Just leave me alone
and shut the door please.

Finding Diana's Dead Body
She lies on the ground, taking in her last breath before she collapses.
She can't take more.
The police come, but it's too late.
She's gone.
And she'll never come back.
To The Earth that felt like a simulation.
She failed the test.
"How could she kill herself?!"
"She had everything! She's just a brat."
"She should have been grateful! Fuck her!"
"She had nothing to complain about! Everyone wanted to be her. Perfect body. Perfect life. Perfect grades....
She can't take more.
The police come, but it's too late.
She's gone.
And she'll never come back.

The Monster Who Never Was
Love,
empty words.
I'm the monster.
That child of rage.
Who thought it was easier to be
thrown away.
Than to be treated with kindness.
She was the devil.
The girl beyond redemption.
But there's that light at the top of the well.
And she's afraid,
She's afraid to let it in.
Because if she does,
She won't know what to do...
She won't know,
And she'll weep.
Dare she should show emotion,
That this time she won't be beat.
She won't be shown the fake mask.
But the real face.
The face
Buried...
empty words.
I'm the monster.
That child of rage.
Who thought it was easier to be
thrown away.
Than to be treated with kindness.
She was the devil.
The girl beyond redemption.
But there's that light at the top of the well.
And she's afraid,
She's afraid to let it in.
Because if she does,
She won't know what to do...
She won't know,
And she'll weep.
Dare she should show emotion,
That this time she won't be beat.
She won't be shown the fake mask.
But the real face.
The face
Buried...

Mother
A mom I wanted you to be
But a mom I would never see
To Comb my hair
And always be there
A mom to chase away my nightmare
Someone to look up too
But that could never be you
Instead
For you gave me fear
Fear that strange men would appear
Fear of when the bruises would subside
But some bruises never heal because there inside
Fear of hungers release
Fear of being a theif
Fear that never decreased
Fear of others believe
Fear of what others would do
Fear you wouldn't get up from that bottles glue
A mom I...
But a mom I would never see
To Comb my hair
And always be there
A mom to chase away my nightmare
Someone to look up too
But that could never be you
Instead
For you gave me fear
Fear that strange men would appear
Fear of when the bruises would subside
But some bruises never heal because there inside
Fear of hungers release
Fear of being a theif
Fear that never decreased
Fear of others believe
Fear of what others would do
Fear you wouldn't get up from that bottles glue
A mom I...

They don't know
They don’t know I’m packing pieces of my soul away,
Carefully folding each fragment of my heart.
They don’t see me creating distance,
So my absence will be less of a jagged start.
They don’t know how soon the end will come,
When I offer a final farewell masked in light.
They don’t understand that each goodbye
Is a silent prayer for a less painful night.
They don’t know I hide beneath a veil,
A facade of warmth that’s not truly mine.
They don’t know I’m kind because I crave
A touch of compassion, so...
Carefully folding each fragment of my heart.
They don’t see me creating distance,
So my absence will be less of a jagged start.
They don’t know how soon the end will come,
When I offer a final farewell masked in light.
They don’t understand that each goodbye
Is a silent prayer for a less painful night.
They don’t know I hide beneath a veil,
A facade of warmth that’s not truly mine.
They don’t know I’m kind because I crave
A touch of compassion, so...

Being Unlovable; Unloved
Second to
One
First to
None
But
The last
I’d kill for
You
Had I
Known
The gun
Was loaded
I’d have
Aimed
Up
Hands where
I can
See them
Face me
Look at
Me
Too
Infernal aching
I know
You’d rather
Die
Than revere
My being
That of
A clover
Three
Of four
Taken
To the sound
Of drums
Ringing
Like echos
But they
Get louder and
Louder
And louder
And louder
One
First to
None
But
The last
I’d kill for
You
Had I
Known
The gun
Was loaded
I’d have
Aimed
Up
Hands where
I can
See them
Face me
Look at
Me
Too
Infernal aching
I know
You’d rather
Die
Than revere
My being
That of
A clover
Three
Of four
Taken
To the sound
Of drums
Ringing
Like echos
But they
Get louder and
Louder
And louder
And louder
