How I feel
My dad is always throwing in my face my abuse of drugs/alcohol. When I have bags under my eyes, it’s drugs. When i lay in bed on my day off, I’m hungover. When I’m not hungry, it’s both. When really, it’s depression. That’s how it works. It goes dormant for periods of time, then hits like a ton of bricks. And you can’t escape it. You can’t get rid of it. No amount of treatment, therapy, or pills will erase it. Just like the thought of ending it all. It’s always there. Always in the back of my mind. I try to ignore it. I try to say it’s not the answer. But life proves me wrong. Knowing how I...

Today’s Mood..
Humans are just humans. We don’t have the seas and skies in our hand. We just have ourselves, and that’s the scariest part.”

/v.1/
2 o’clock lost in mid-afternoon sighs
I didn’t ask,
For this much work to be assigned.
\v.2\
Reminders left to check
Avoiding my unread texts
Again...
/pre-ch/
Feelings are on the edge
Of the railing today
Not worrying about what train comes when
Do I go south or west?
This compass just won’t follow
Wherever I want it to go...

Jake The Snake (Her Last Mistake)
A slithering snake named Jake persuaded her to grab the microphone
She couldn't bear to stay there in wait of the fate of a broken home
Inside her dome were lofty aspirations of singing rhythm & blues
Hopping to it like a rabbit without a walking stick or even a clue
Choosing to run with someone that was a shark disguised as a guy
No wise owl was around to give sound advice from its third eye
Desires to be fly in the latest fashion omitted subtraction from the equation
Caused her to focus on the hocus pocus of the money and fame addition ...

NEW BOOK
It was the perfect place to commit suicide. Serene. Isolated. But some preparations had to be made. There was the matter of writing The Note. A task made difficult for the young poet who rented the house in the forest. Under the fog of morphine, he struggles to write; and as the morning shifts into early afternoon, strange things occur in his surroundings. Though frightened, he still wants to kill himself with the remaining pills. But as he struggles to put his final thoughts on paper, certain forces within the house seem to have their own grim agenda. From the author of An Ibis and the Sun,...

Suicide Note (to my love)
If your reading this poem then it's to late I'm sorry
After I post this I'm about to drink a lethal remedy
I don't need you to love me anymore or listen
Fuck love and happy thoughts I just wanna die quickly
I'm tired of being lonely alone without you by my side
So much pain I'm sorry I don't need your pity
Depression and anxiety finally got me broken
I hope you are happy without me burn my body
I'm sorry I failed you and fucked up on my promises
Forever and always I hope you made it baby
Your the only person that loved me truly broken ...

I’m alive:evila m’I
Can i ask you to ask me if i’m okay?
Is it weird if i don’t listen to that question anyway?
Isn’t it silly to live life with a raised chin,
while my body is covered with more scar tissue than skin?
Here i stand again on a sky scraping roof.
Life doesn’t take me serious, it mimics my every move.
These dark thoughts bring light to my soul.
These bright spirits may help break my fall.
While life is given, death takes it back for a price i can’t refuse.
My time isn’t worth living when there’s no...

Suicide
I am lost inside a thought, wandering nowhere,
Suffering being broken apart.
Waiting, wishing these days gone by,
I am standing at the edge of time.
As the waves come crashing in.
is your reasons enough?
or will you sink deep within?"
People do not die,
in the name of suicide.
They die of empty sadness,
everyone should know that's why.
No one knows the heartache,
that lies behind that smile.
No one knows the many times,
You've broke down and cried.
Loss of sight of who you are, ...
Suffering being broken apart.
Waiting, wishing these days gone by,
I am standing at the edge of time.
As the waves come crashing in.
is your reasons enough?
or will you sink deep within?"
People do not die,
in the name of suicide.
They die of empty sadness,
everyone should know that's why.
No one knows the heartache,
that lies behind that smile.
No one knows the many times,
You've broke down and cried.
Loss of sight of who you are, ...

Finding Angel
She said goodbye for the final time
All she wanted was to be loved
She won't be there
When they get home tonight
Finding Angel
I saw your smile was gone today
Was there nothing I could do?
You slowly faded from light to gray
Paler than a midnight moon
Finding Angel
We found you in your secret place
Deep in the darkened woods
The only place where you could be safe
And felt like you were good
Finding Angel
The note said you no longer loved
You couldn't take anymore
You...
All she wanted was to be loved
She won't be there
When they get home tonight
Finding Angel
I saw your smile was gone today
Was there nothing I could do?
You slowly faded from light to gray
Paler than a midnight moon
Finding Angel
We found you in your secret place
Deep in the darkened woods
The only place where you could be safe
And felt like you were good
Finding Angel
The note said you no longer loved
You couldn't take anymore
You...

One Last Little Blink
Blink blink
Curtains and pillows
Blink.. blink
Covered face
Blink blink
Just wanna lay
No more blinks today
Blink blink
Tears and snot
Blink blink
Cheeks red hot
Blink blink
Smiling, you thought!
Wink wink
No more blinks today
Blink. Blink.
At a bridge
Headlights and horns
Blink blink
Beep beep
Go back to
Sleep sleep
I said
No more blinks
Blink.. blink..
Monitors start to
Beat beat
Lights above start to
Shrink shrink ...
Curtains and pillows
Blink.. blink
Covered face
Blink blink
Just wanna lay
No more blinks today
Blink blink
Tears and snot
Blink blink
Cheeks red hot
Blink blink
Smiling, you thought!
Wink wink
No more blinks today
Blink. Blink.
At a bridge
Headlights and horns
Blink blink
Beep beep
Go back to
Sleep sleep
I said
No more blinks
Blink.. blink..
Monitors start to
Beat beat
Lights above start to
Shrink shrink ...

The Undiscovered Country
Months since that stillborn morning
when they pulled me, ashen, from your arms.
I did not ask to be delivered
from the endless evening to the dawn.
If a list is made to place upon a scale,
will you refrain from fixing the outcome?
Upon the weighing, will you honor the result,
whether it be rainbows or rust?
If I close this chapter, and
lay my head in the Undiscovered Country,
will I...

I did not ask to be delivered

Upon the weighing, will you honor the result,
whether it be rainbows or rust?
