The V Story
My curiosity peaks for this unknown
Wandering thoughts on what lies past this door
Mind riddled with new beginnings and endings
Lust rattles my soul as my imagination takes control
Excitement takes over my body yet fear takes over my mind
Hedonistic fantasies playing on repeat
Knowing that this waiting game will end
To be stripped of my last piece of innocence.
Wandering thoughts on what lies past this door

Souvenir
And when that song comes on
no matter what's happening
or what's going on,
I'll always crave a
slow dance with you.
no matter what's happening

Mental Health (on hold)
Welcome to the sanitarium
We’ve got dry clothes and a bed
For you to live in
For the time being
What happens next?
We don’t know
Nor do we much care
So fix your head already
Then
get the fuck outta here
We’ve got dry clothes and a bed
For you to live in
For the time being
What happens next?
We don’t know
Nor do we much care
So fix your head already
Then
get the fuck outta here

Man on the Street
Swallowed whole like Jonah
I reside in the guts of this
Beast, I can feel the heat of
its heart beat.
I can see the distension
in trembling and quivering
insides as I move around
on my feet.
I walk beside choked arteries
and down various tubes,
hanging gardens somewhere above
but here just waste and ooze.
I find a quiet cavity
and curl up on some bony surface
to snooze
but I don't get much sleep.
I reside in the guts of this

Hollow
Hey now where did you go?
Thought I was holding you?
All you are is air baby
Fall into my breath and chase away my fears only don't leave me so hollow
I sit back and look at this thing I've become
Am I really so twisted or are these the things you've filled me up with
But trusting what you say I truly am not worth a thing.
Thought I was holding you?
All you are is air baby
Fall into my breath and chase away my fears only don't leave me so hollow
I sit back and look at this thing I've become
Am I really so twisted or are these the things you've filled me up with
But trusting what you say I truly am not worth a thing.

Metamorphoses
The transformation from a
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul
How I missed dancing
Playing volleyball
Riding my bike and
Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears
Self-hatred got the best of me
Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention
Merciless I turned away
When I was at my lowest
An angel in the shape of a man
Stepped into my life and...
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul

Riding my bike and
Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears
Self-hatred got the best of me
Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention

When I was at my lowest
An angel in the shape of a man
Stepped into my life and...

This Night
Very deliberately, consciously,
She felt the strength of her thighs,
Muscles first trained in dance as a child.
Her knees bent easily with reverence,
As if in prayer, for as a child, she'd prayed often.
These were now the legs of a young woman,
Exerting themselves for the pleasure of another.
Gazing down, the fortunate man
Saw in her a disciplined balance,
First peracted as a child at play.
But the man standing in her room
Knew nothing of her past.
He knew only her present form.
He knew...

(broken) City Streets
the wretched burnt-orange sun
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks
as they crawl
across the pavement
the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
we're all devoured
by our own deceptions
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks
as they crawl
across the pavement
the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
we're all devoured
by our own deceptions

inappropriate behavior
acute, spin the feeling
a metaphor bleeding, without ceasing
internal strife appears as a dragon
impossible he's wild and can't be tamed
it is your very own spirit
tugging on the chains that bind you
the societal norm is very strange to me
why cancel culture
it's one of the most beautiful aspects of us
sharing of culture makes more sense
then there is no place to express our anger
if you get angry you're crazy
that is inappropriate behavior
and don't buy that red car you wanted
let's all drive white ones
...

The Least Among Us
(or "Chicken-of-the-Sea")
Intrepid wattle,
caught in the roil
of a reckoning watch
a ragamuffin remnant
of chaotic creation
a tatterdemalion shamble
through fluid
subconscious
a spring chicken
marching with
his death wish
-list
down to the shore
for boiling
beyond
our earthly shine
a serf on the surf
from a trusted turf
to crash & spray
ichor,
brine:
a hook for a look
is long in...

Senseless senses
Take away my eyes ;
There's no light inside of me.
Take away my hearing ;
My ear drums no longer resonate
Pluck each nerve from my body;
I thrive to feel something,
Please
Anything
other than me.
I've become so bitter as the years slowly catch up to the physical pain my body has endured over the years .
That God damn pain
The God damn years
The fucking art
This fucking lonliness
Atleast I am feeling something , even if it is regret and self pity .
-The Real Grifta

grievous
you hurt my heart by saying nothing
you act cold and distant
how you turn it on and off
I burn hot
until you leave me hanging
then I withdraw
hiding my tears
you aren't worthy of my pain
but I love you and I know when I pull away
part of my soul goes with you
waiting on the bluebird of happiness
I saw that once all the crazies
were waiting for that damn bluebird
it could be a good omen
but I don't believe that
I was made to torture
I'm good to people
and they act like I don't exist ...
