Memoir
My memoir is my C- PTSD journey through trauma therapy and set in epistolary format. It’s not an easy read if you’re easily triggered. I have a lifetime of trauma, it’s been nonstop.

People, are people
I suppose
From the end
Of their tips
To the end
Of their nose
Whether they tell
The truth
Nobody knows

Toy Girl
Dancing with death within
An unsweetened serenade
Bitter sweet
Nothing sweet at all
Just sadness, fear, and betrayal
And a sickness
That churns inside
Am i worth so little
Is anyone
So worthless
As to be treated as a toy

he sits by the pool
notebook balanced on his knee
pen in hand and lost in thought
unaware what he is feedin these pages
his nature fills these words
not with madness and genius
but with the quiet moments after his storms
when he's searchin for himself
his fingers find melodies no one else knows
playin what dictates his soul
no sheet music to guide him
just raw feelin translated in song
a look in his eyes like he’s burnin alive
speaks of not belongin to this place
in his alienation

Hard Landing
"your comfort zone is not always safe"
~LBL
They say
"time flies when you're having fun"..
But my time is fleeting
while I've been on the run.
I once sought out the source
of the calling echoing in my chest.
These days I evade
The course the river takes
In fear I will be led to the deep ,
Swallowed up in the raging waves.
I've tried to survive in existence
Terrified of change.
When this structured path
I've built my self
Has a foundation that's decayed,
I am only...

detour ahead
these last days will be...precious
as reality upends for some of us
when we crawl back into journals
or our skulls
unsure how to get the thoughts out
where they can make a difference
to others
& ourselves
let me say this...
it's only a moment
not the final script
these were good days
filled with wild inspiration
& healing
the journey doesn't end
just because the road ran out
we simply forge onward
as we blaze new trails
taking memories with us
I...for one...am intensely...

if you can’t stand then f**kin crawl
you hate this pathetic display
this disgustin weakness in yourself
yet here you are
soakin in your own misery
you worthless pile of flesh
is this what we’re doin?
get the fuck up
remember that hell knows your name
you’ve danced with demons
walked thru the god damn flames
and you’re cryin over…what?
this?
fuckin laughable
no one’s comin to save you
no one gives a damn
no one is watchin
smoke yourself to oblivion
mix whatever chemicals numb the noise
break your knuckles against concrete ...

Her Bandages
Where do we begin?
Let’s just say she takes it on Her chin
All of life’s misgivings
Lost in the middle of Her life
Her world full of constant strife
Their words cut like a knife
Nothing changes
Except Her bandages
Taking the high road didn’t do Her any favors
Just wanting things to stay the same flavor
Her clarity continues to waver
Perhaps Her dreams need to be put to rest
Maybe it’s all a test
To see if she can give...

Sleepy Sunday
I dreamt upon a Sunday morn
to sleep in without interruption
I wanted a cosy snuggle treat
the luxury sleep soft and sweet
"Feed us now!" Cats loudly cry,
the starving hordes from everywhere
just cross annoying felines
I turned over hands over ears
The dogs scratching at the door
their barks and whines loud and clear
wake up wake up wake up
incessant call for bowl and feed
I groaned out of bed
My pillow calling, "Rest your head!"
there's a chorus of No No No
feed us now now now ...
to sleep in without interruption
I wanted a cosy snuggle treat
the luxury sleep soft and sweet
"Feed us now!" Cats loudly cry,
the starving hordes from everywhere
just cross annoying felines
I turned over hands over ears
The dogs scratching at the door
their barks and whines loud and clear
wake up wake up wake up
incessant call for bowl and feed
I groaned out of bed
My pillow calling, "Rest your head!"
there's a chorus of No No No
feed us now now now ...

Invisible software
They come out of nowhere,
I like that,
I love this…
When I have written,
I have made it visible.
It is, as if i have known something
I would not have otherwise.
Somehow!
I manage to touch physically
And invisible software.
For who knows why?
Installed on me.
