I trust it, you hate it
I abused you when I had the time
Never saw it on your face
Reconstruction in your own words
I didn't mind, no I'm not a head case
Such good times looking into your eyes
Your beauty screams pain, I know that your mine
Becoming sober was your mistake
There's nothing left for you here
I trust it, you hate it
Nightmares heal, reality is fear
I long to hear you kill your lies
Now I feel so haunted as I search for
Any excuse that will ease my mind
Love till death, unusable whore
Never saw it on your face
Reconstruction in your own words
I didn't mind, no I'm not a head case
Such good times looking into your eyes
Your beauty screams pain, I know that your mine
Becoming sober was your mistake
There's nothing left for you here
I trust it, you hate it
Nightmares heal, reality is fear
I long to hear you kill your lies
Now I feel so haunted as I search for
Any excuse that will ease my mind
Love till death, unusable whore

Inner Balance + inner peace
From the deepness of your own mind and the deepness of your own life, is where your strength will find the perseverance, and the deepness of your point of relaxation in a utopia of your own sanctuary. For only you can alone touch, the deepness of your inner balance and your strength of inner senses of Peace, within the process of manifestation of what you seek. For it's true that sometimes we have to learn, to separate thyself from the negativity, in search of what we need and want in our own lives. For it's true that we are only humans of skin and flesh and blood, that we can only take...

real
hateful day I'm hurting so bad I scream
could skin feel any tighter
claustrophobic in my body
needful ache I want out in the worst way
My soul doesn't fit in this form
It contains me like a prison
Art is escaping
strangulation of soul is capturing me this way
my need is up and out
manifesting in several dopplegangers at once
freedom of expression releasing my pain
hurtful understanding I was abandon here
This visage doesn't suit me
doesn't represent who I am
my soul resists the urge to discard it ...

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

Sore - just another running metaphor
Your words blurred
as I hit play on a
Frieda McFadden
plot twister
and slip my
phone in my pocket.
My lips part in a full-teeth-grimace
when I grab my ankle for
a stretch
against the
screaming protest
from my abs and
shoulders and
legs and…
Fuck.
I ache.
Everywhere.
Athletes start to loose
muscle tone after three
weeks of inactivity
Three weeks.
I was knocked out

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

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...

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...

Pain and Suffering
I feel your pain
No you don't
You feel your pain
Just for a moment I'd like to be inside the body and mind of someone else who is suffering.
To feel their pain.
Pain that words cannot describe or convey.
To see if their pain is remotely like mine.
To offer them my compassion and kindness.
To hold their hand and embrace them.
To tell them ......
I feel your pain
Yes you do
You feel my pain.
No you don't
You feel your pain
Just for a moment I'd like to be inside the body and mind of someone else who is suffering.
To feel their pain.
Pain that words cannot describe or convey.
To see if their pain is remotely like mine.
To offer them my compassion and kindness.
To hold their hand and embrace them.
To tell them ......
I feel your pain
Yes you do
You feel my pain.

Ignorance
People don't realize how stressed out you get,
When your head is so congested,
You have to physically push on the vessels,
To relieve it.
Without relief, you get spasms.
Dizziness and fear.
And the annoyance of people,
Trying to be friendly.
Thinking that talking would help.
When all it does,
Is trigger spams and fear.
The fear of losing control,
Of something you never used to control.
But now you have to.
Or else you'll die.
When your head is so congested,
You have to physically push on the vessels,
To relieve it.
Without relief, you get spasms.
Dizziness and fear.
And the annoyance of people,
Trying to be friendly.
Thinking that talking would help.
When all it does,
Is trigger spams and fear.
The fear of losing control,
Of something you never used to control.
But now you have to.
Or else you'll die.
