Depression
I don't want to die. waking up day to day, I die a little more. I know I've tried. the stress doesn't go away; there's just more in store....

impenetrable reticence
Locked inside these prison walls
I can not hear my voice
Upon those silent ears falls
My catatonic choice
The void, it echoes silent screams
Which never leave my lips
Chaotic ribboned mental streams
Like death's eternal kiss
They're closing in, I feel the strain
A suffocating shroud
A self inflicted mental pain
A thick and looming cloud
I fist the walls, I must break free
I need to feel some air
But silent in this agony
The secret I must bear
I can not hear my voice
Upon those silent ears falls
My catatonic choice
The void, it echoes silent screams
Which never leave my lips
Chaotic ribboned mental streams
Like death's eternal kiss
They're closing in, I feel the strain
A suffocating shroud
A self inflicted mental pain
A thick and looming cloud
I fist the walls, I must break free
I need to feel some air
But silent in this agony
The secret I must bear

Depression
is wearing bruises on the
soul that cannot be
fathomed,
i’ve been
bleeding inside
out.

In the Doorway A Body
Four years, I'll never forget
the fog rolls dense.
Satisfy a wandering mind
with thoughts, color
chemically high with no life.
Everything lost from such a gain
Every effort to change ended in vain
Pitiful soul, hung from a dog's chain.

Black Widow
Spin your web
black widow, black widow
bury your debt
black widow, black widow
You've broken the red hour glass
thrashing your back against the stones
I watched you over the brim
of my silver flask
destroying what is left of your home
You weren't like this before
Black widow
black widow
Ghosts of lovers
black widow, black widow
hung from your web
black widow, black widow
I wasn't there
when they all left
but I'm not...
black widow, black widow
bury your debt
black widow, black widow
You've broken the red hour glass
thrashing your back against the stones
I watched you over the brim
of my silver flask
destroying what is left of your home
You weren't like this before
Black widow

Ghosts of lovers
black widow, black widow

black widow, black widow

Diary of a Murderous Poet
My father dropped his careless seed where my mother wished she'd bleed.
You created what I breathe when your lungs began to heave.
I forgot what life unfurls when I heard your whirling purr.
I unveiled your place of birth when my gaze derailed from Earth.
In the stream above the hills, dreams the gleam your lifeblood spills.
Counting decades down your braids, I invade your rounded jades with a gaze you've made cascade.
How you drown my sunken tortures with a frown of drunken fortune.
My lies die between your thighs,...
You created what I breathe when your lungs began to heave.
I forgot what life unfurls when I heard your whirling purr.
I unveiled your place of birth when my gaze derailed from Earth.
In the stream above the hills, dreams the gleam your lifeblood spills.
Counting decades down your braids, I invade your rounded jades with a gaze you've made cascade.
How you drown my sunken tortures with a frown of drunken fortune.
My lies die between your thighs,...

Sh
Shudder no more,
my frightened wish
else you'll be sore
and mute as a fish
shine no more,
my shaded sun
let me explore
let me have fun
shivering fate,
awaiting the slit
open your gate
I will be quick.
after an age
of tipping my toes
lonely and caged
a withering rose
waiting,
to be your choice
sating,
your simmering voice
ordered to slavery
considered a toy
rid of all bravery
your gullible boy
and maybe I'd stay ...
my frightened wish

Labia Labile
Upon a plain of golden dust
beneath the mirrors of disgust
spread the petals glazed with mud
in bloom for all who rip their bud
selfish hands become their crown
enthroned on filth with no renown
such is the fate of flowers that glisten
only through drops of unborn children
presiding above their kingdoms of woe
tower the fists of tugging and blows
shutting throats that swallow pride
for only dying feels alive
many a sunset descends to your haven,
for dying pigeons, not shimmering ravens
many a song where...
beneath the mirrors of disgust
spread the petals glazed with mud
in bloom for all who rip their bud
selfish hands become their crown
enthroned on filth with no renown
such is the fate of flowers that glisten

presiding above their kingdoms of woe
tower the fists of tugging and blows
shutting throats that swallow pride

many a sunset descends to your haven,

BRUISED
Beaten and bruised
From the very start
In a world fallen
From its original glory
wounds printed
Like a brand upon my skin
Stained and burnt
Soon to Stop me from letting
people in.
But to give in
I point blankly refuse.
For the Scars are for
Learning
Not learning to hide.
My heart May move
From cold to fire,
Yet I will not retire.
Tears in the heart of the writer,
No tears in the eyes of reader,
not even a trace.
Forced to wear a smile on my face,
to...

Downpour
muttering, sputtering rain soaked lips
rainy Mondays always get me high
the blessed roar of cleansing, making it
hard to hear the sound of my own voice
droplets bouncing from the pavement
soaking through the hem of my jeans
coloring my old, worn brown boots
five shades darker and drawing my eyes
black like glittering onyx
Well-trained sheep scramble for shelter while
I gratefully take what my sky has to offer
shards of soft glass, teeming with life ...

Dunno Yet Lol
For “Directions” Mick Jenkins type beat - Bvtman
Sit and I pray
That I can erase
Mistakes that I made yesterday
But they’re here to stay
No I cannot replace
nothing will change, no no
But I can try
Doing it right
The second time
I got one life
I wanna fly
Don’t wanna die
Send me up into the sky
After I’ve opened my eyes
After they gimme my prize
And praise me for ending the lies
After I’ve mended my mind
After completing my climb
Gimme my piece of the pie ...
