Met My Soul
Last night I met with my soul on a cold dark road
Fed up of me many many years ago
Any idea what it is to be dead like me?
Do you think you'd be able to feel when dead like me?
This morning I cut out my heart
Held it in my hands, wasn't functioning to well anyway
My body is decimated by disease & gloom
So hopeless, so tired, so lifeless
The ghosts I use to see don't scare me anymore
I'm one of them
My soul again departed on that cold dark road
Fed up of me many many years ago
Any idea what it is to be dead like me?
Do you think you'd be able to feel when dead like me?
This morning I cut out my heart
Held it in my hands, wasn't functioning to well anyway
My body is decimated by disease & gloom
So hopeless, so tired, so lifeless
The ghosts I use to see don't scare me anymore
I'm one of them
My soul again departed on that cold dark road

My Pain
Have you ever felt so much pain
that when someone is talking to you
you think of a thousand ways for them to die.
Are you ok?
No but you will not see that on my face
Nerve ending connecting
makes you know you're alive
Shit nerve ending connecting
I want to die
What the Fuuuuuck!
Medication is supposed to numb me
Damn medication not working
Shit I want to crawl out of my skin
"Oh Good morning, welcome, come in."
that when someone is talking to you

Sweet Girl
I hurt like Marilyn, always dummying down my intensity
turning down my internal music
so others feel better
such a hefty price for Marilyn
to pay for the looks combined with intelligence
sent to the looney bin
because God forbid you feel too much
it hurts and if I were a reincarnation of her
they would say poor Marilyn still can't get off the dope
I feel a kindred spirit with her
today I imagine she chose to be a nobody
chained to notoriety is no longer for her
in my heart, she flies free
united with the baby...

Thought Control
What worries you, masters you.... Unknown
Familiar was the squawk of dawn's happy choir.
A cheerfulness so potently dire.
When daily suffering is inescapable
Anguish does not discriminate or label.
A man's belly, barren of bread, aches in pain.
An ache the same,
As the obsession to be desired by the vain.
To the blacksmith of thought, we are the tool.
The mastery of thought is the saving rule.

The Albatross
I used to think
those hanging an albatross
around their neck
were serious about penance—
those standing their ground
saying, I refuse to retreat
but will go down with this ship
because that's how much I believe;
or, deeply loved—
because any other behavior
would mean I did not
Yet, sooner or later
some kind rebound lover
bearing gifts and poetry
appears in shining armor;
or, perhaps another...

On Suffering
Some kinds of suffering will make people mentally stronger
While needless torment can be just a waste of time
Useless afflictions will numb some folks from enjoying life
But misery, that can have a lasting effect on the mind
Certain misfortunes will come our way everyday
Depending on the card you, it may not be your luck
Suffering teaches us to learn and stay away from the pain
It’s a harsh necessary lesson so that we won’t get stuck
And though there are those who relish in the woes
But most of us avoid the torment of a physical agony ...
While needless torment can be just a waste of time

It’s a harsh necessary lesson so that we won’t get stuck
And though there are those who relish in the woes

THROUGH THESE EYES OF MINE
Through these eyes 👁️👁️ of mine, I've seen many things in plain view of pictures of what I truly see. AS the world that I once knew has really changed in so many way. 😲 That I find it to hard to believe that this is what our future is gonna be. AS the Democrat party has us all involved with their nonsense ignorants of no speech and no freedom of thoughts. 🧐 Yet there is Just a few people's who are not,🤔 able and willing to conceive the truth, that they never truly had your best interest at heart. 💔 Due to the fact that they are...

Oracularity
The French gave us the word cliché
and so to honor Gallic grace
let's urge cliché to be passe
so no more discourse will debase
from any verse or any pen
where some foreseeable trauma
repeats its ugly life again
to flare into a melodrama,
or kindle more calamity
with ideation raised anew
antipodal to amity
which most of us already knew...
but still would not associate
a lack of tact with repeat fate.

In Chains
Bound by chains
so deadly and tight
the future seems dim
there’s no shining light
my voice is paralized
while i want to scream
Caged by the past
in a phantom prison
shackled by memories
too excruciating to bear
my body is paralyzed
while i want to escape
Locked up in time
this pain will remain
my insanity scares me
my scars will never fade
...

deaf, dumb & blind...
are we now to become
no more than yesterday's phantasms?
specters drifting across a barren landscape
too foolish to pay any heed to the errors of our fathers
or the fallout from every previous foul deed
those men who valiantly fought or tragically fell
directed by a madman's selfish hand
where they were gathered
& ruthlessly enslaved
countless numbers completely erased
living now only the nightmares of a few surviving souls
mourning their unforgotten existence
where memories lie buried in unmarked mass graves

Somewhere, far away
the stars cry
glistening teardrops frozen
forever...in the dark sky
