Summa Victus
The past's future was so much brighter
Than the present's which is dimmer
The older I get the dreams unravel
Because I found out I'm not the winner
I'm a loser who never got the prize
I'm a loser who received all their lies
I'm a loser who is treated like a creep
I'm the loser no-one wants to keep
When I'm feeling down
I'm isolation bound
If I knew what the future would hold
After I grew up and gotten old
I would've thrown myself away
So I wouldn't have to face another day
I'm a loser who tried but only...
Than the present's which is dimmer
The older I get the dreams unravel
Because I found out I'm not the winner
I'm a loser who never got the prize
I'm a loser who received all their lies
I'm a loser who is treated like a creep
I'm the loser no-one wants to keep
When I'm feeling down
I'm isolation bound
If I knew what the future would hold
After I grew up and gotten old
I would've thrown myself away
So I wouldn't have to face another day
I'm a loser who tried but only...

My Struggle
I'm hurt and beat.
Laying down in defeat.
I lay here on the floor.
Unsure of what to do anymore.
Not wanting to feel this way.
But on the ground I still lay.
What steps do I take?
Which choices do I make?
I no longer wish to hide.
From the sorrow inside.
Trying to stand my ground.
With the vigor I've found.
Laying down in defeat.
I lay here on the floor.
Unsure of what to do anymore.
Not wanting to feel this way.
But on the ground I still lay.
What steps do I take?
Which choices do I make?
I no longer wish to hide.
From the sorrow inside.
Trying to stand my ground.
With the vigor I've found.

Transparent Target
I can't see it there.
Yet, its mine to bear.
Be that as it may.
It marks me in some way.
So that I'm left out.
I have no doubt.
That it's on my forehead.
Or my back instead.
Somehow you can tell.
You see the target well.
That's why you don't relent.
Even though I'm spent.
Where did it originate?
What was the date?
If I only knew.
Maybe I could understand you.
Yet, its mine to bear.
Be that as it may.
It marks me in some way.
So that I'm left out.
I have no doubt.
That it's on my forehead.
Or my back instead.
Somehow you can tell.
You see the target well.
That's why you don't relent.
Even though I'm spent.
Where did it originate?
What was the date?
If I only knew.
Maybe I could understand you.

Surreal
torn open,
flowers bleeding
painted hands
—reveal
hidden secrets,
screaming
strokes of mastered
colored hues
forecasted,
shades
of promises
that never lasted
beautiful pain
twists to
open a vien
surrealistic dreams
slowly agonize
behind
closed
eyes
flowers bleeding
painted hands

Shut Up!
running through my head
as scurrying ants
biting
into thoughts
bleeding stupidity
into my brain
get a grip
no one cares
so shut up
feeling like melted ice cream
on a hot sidewalk.

My mind is gone
Mind is going, going, gone...
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine

Orphan
i.
Essence departed
an orphan I have become
grief-filled emotion
alone, I have come undone
… in passing of your spirit
ii.
Anguish shall not fade
vulnerable in your death
memories survive
yet in shadows, I’m bereft
… in my sleep, there is no rest

Loud American
I wish I could tell everyone I meet
everything that makes me special
how I wish I could convey my deepest thoughts
show how smart I think I am
don't want any secrets
want to put all my cards down
show them off to everybody who doubted me
don't want to gloat
just want to show
I am more than appearance
guess I can't find the right words to say
like a rat trapped in ah cage
I scream and claw at my surroundings
I'm the loud American
oh how I have loved

Introvection
I don't wish to recall
Nor pine to remember
Remove the recant
I won't hold those words
Even at arms length.
Wretched reminisce, are
Rancid restarts
Living for a short-term life
Or is it a long-form lie?
No steps to retrace
I've forgotten those walks
Relish the relief
Of a life untold,
Unspoken, unthought
Un-anaylse the roads
Unburdened isn't unhappy.
Or am I incomplete
Cowardly and meek
To seek to be blind
Eyes closed are the weak.
Nor pine to remember
Remove the recant
I won't hold those words
Even at arms length.
Wretched reminisce, are
Rancid restarts
Living for a short-term life
Or is it a long-form lie?
No steps to retrace
I've forgotten those walks
Relish the relief
Of a life untold,
Unspoken, unthought
Un-anaylse the roads
Unburdened isn't unhappy.
Or am I incomplete
Cowardly and meek
To seek to be blind
Eyes closed are the weak.

Find the Light
Lost in the black mist.
Is there a path I missed?
I know that I'll find my way.
Out of darkness into day.
This time, I won't give in.
No matter what may spin.
Even if I fumble about.
I'll push myself until I'm out.
I'm not who I used to be.
Now I can plainly see.
It's different than before.
I'm not powerless anymore.

My Friends Embrace
I thought I was alone.
With a need to atone.
But lately I've come to realize.
Beyond the sorrow and my cries.
I now have people who care.
Who will treat me fair.
That won't laugh at me.
They love me very dearly.
Angels who guide me along.
Keeping me standing strong.
Granting me their love.
Showering it from above.
Feeling the magic touch.
Thank you ever so much.
With a need to atone.
But lately I've come to realize.
Beyond the sorrow and my cries.
I now have people who care.
Who will treat me fair.

Angels who guide me along.
Keeping me standing strong.
Granting me their love.
Showering it from above.
Feeling the magic touch.

A Quick Fix
I'm feeling very weak.
My hurt is at it's peak.
Pills in my mouth.
As my life goes south.
Feeling nothing inside.
Open long and wide.
Numb away my pain.
Stare into the rain.
Throwing away my humanity.
Losing all of my sanity.
It's far worse without it.
I'm not mentally fit.
They linger and haunt.
The voices laugh and taunt.
But at the end of the day.
I can't go on this way.
My hurt is at it's peak.
Pills in my mouth.
As my life goes south.
Feeling nothing inside.
Open long and wide.
Numb away my pain.
Stare into the rain.
Throwing away my humanity.
Losing all of my sanity.
It's far worse without it.
I'm not mentally fit.
They linger and haunt.
The voices laugh and taunt.
But at the end of the day.
I can't go on this way.
