Quick Update
Hi all,
I'm still homeless, unfortunately, due to the fire on March 6. How fortunate I wasn't present at the time! My GP has confirmed I'm suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The panic attacks are pretty intense.
I'm in hotel accommodation (pretty expensive), and am uncertain of where to go from there. I miss posting here and expect I will soon enough.
Hope to connect soon,
Lozzamus (Lawrence)

The Blue Tube
Some dreams are more than dreams.
Some 25 years ago I 'dreamed' this. It is an exact description, for I remember every detail.
It is a bright chilly day and I am walking in the parking lot of the apartment building where I live and am almost at my car door when a very loud metallic clang rings out, akin to the sound of a sledge crashing into an anvil. I look up and towards the west from where the noise came and see the horizon turn white and then in a flash everything turns white.
I wake up naked in a transparent tube with a bluish hue....

This Is Only My Assurety
My aunt once told me this
When it's your time to kiss
Kiss your wife in her to love
With passions seen in her cove
I examine this within the full me
And this I did so aquickly
I told her all I could truly see
From this note is my dear alonely
Because this I truly feel for me
Is of me ladies have uncertainty
Stone an athwug I know I be
And can't adjust this on awomanly
The high of the chill my attitude feels
Is not for society and all it's thrills
My breaths I take before each awakes ...

A birdbrain ( A fool )
When the twists and turns
of Life came, she tripped and collapsed
on the road
no longer thrilled to work again.
She might die with breath still in her chest,
light retires out
with fire still in her eyes and bones.
A fool for not taking notes
this she knows.
Looking on as leaves disobey the air current with flare
she hides in the clouds under the Sun
even when her heart reminded her of her worth,
her soul keeps yearning for more than life.

Lost in thoughts pt1
Losing sense of being
The world has it's hands around my neck
It's farewell to life with every breath,
Hope is alive but slowly dying within
Starting to prefer death to this ache
Why were there no signs at birth..?
Growing tired of the pain
Feeling like giving in
yet will that make it go away
Told since the day of old
that 'Heaven receives not those who try to shortcut their way to it.'
Yet how does one live
Without peace of mind
The world has it's hands around my neck
It's farewell to life with every breath,
Hope is alive but slowly dying within
Starting to prefer death to this ache
Why were there no signs at birth..?
Growing tired of the pain
Feeling like giving in
yet will that make it go away
Told since the day of old
that 'Heaven receives not those who try to shortcut their way to it.'
Yet how does one live
Without peace of mind

A new Chapter (Diary entry 16-03-2022)
It has been a while since I’ve last written in my diary. Last time it was… draining, confronting and frightening. I spoke of my mental condition and how it seems to work and manifest. I also wrote that I didn’t know my reason for living. I can’t say that I do now but, I’m working on it. I’m seeing a psychiatrist, the same one I visited many times before. This woman knows me and understands me, at least I think so. I still have a few doubts about her and her way of doing things. She immediately started pushing me back on the pills I had before. The ones that make you drowsy, confused and even...

Memories of Uni!
just found my dissertation from 1996! titled:
"An investigation into how derogatory language is a major influence on the subordination of women, by their male counterparts"
Introduction pages 2-5
Chapter One: "Women's rights, and the woman word, female, feminine, and feminist origins!" pages 6-16
Chapter Two: " Women in literature and fictional heroines; Charlotte Bronte's use of the pseudonym, and Jane Eyre's experience of survival in a man's world" pages 17-22
Chapter Three: "An examination into words and quotations used in a derogatory way by men, against women"...

Bodega Bully
I came home from school one afternoon and headed towards the kitchen to do my homework when the phone rang. It was my cousin Janice asking for my help. This teenage bully was constantly harassing her youngest child (my lil cousin JR) every time he goes to the store. Without hesitation I made my way out the apartment for a twenty minute walk to her crib.
when I arrived I ask JR to accompany me to the store, he was about nine or ten yrs old, I was seventeen. We walked to the corner and sho nuff the dude was there standing outside in front of the Bodega. He looked to be around my age, maybe...
