OBSESSED
To be has got to be
When urges defines my will
A single mind was born
Hysterical
— Fostering frenzied desire
And I scratched till I bleed
Sated yet discontented
And it starts all over
Again
— Greed married my reasoning
When urges defines my will
A single mind was born
Hysterical
— Fostering frenzied desire
And I scratched till I bleed
Sated yet discontented
And it starts all over
Again
— Greed married my reasoning

MY SHADOW STAYED BEHIND
For decades
I lived my life
Toiling and struggling
I foiled a path
And then another
Fork roads and cross ones,
changing lanes sometimes
Never have I looked back
Regrets followed
But failed to catch up
In the mids of it all
I stopped and looked up
Thought to contest
The glaring of the Sun
But the noon shine hurt my eyes,
And so I bowed down
All I saw was a spot of light
My shadow nowhere in sight
I looked around
In panic and in doubt
And there it was in the...
I lived my life

I foiled a path
And then another
Fork roads and cross ones,
changing lanes sometimes
Never have I looked back
Regrets followed
But failed to catch up

I stopped and looked up
Thought to contest
The glaring of the Sun
But the noon shine hurt my eyes,
And so I bowed down

The Weeping Willow
The Weeping Willow
She wept as a willow
upon her green leaf pillow
a deep rooted love
overflowed
like the swollen river
that disguised her tears
of deep jaded anguish
no longer to languish
upon her earthen throne...

My Greatest Fear
My greatest fear
Has yet
Left me with no feel
In a paralyzed state
Lost with no recovery
My greatest fear
Has no place
Within the mind
Of this shattered soul
So I hold on
For dear life
Determined not
To drown
In my misery
My greatest fear
Has no boundaries
For I
Have never faced
Just one thing
That made me scared
My greatest fear
Maybe
A false thought
Disrupting my brain
Leaving me believing
That the unknown
Is my greatest fear
Has yet
Left me with no feel
In a paralyzed state
Lost with no recovery
My greatest fear
Has no place
Within the mind
Of this shattered soul
So I hold on
For dear life
Determined not
To drown
In my misery
My greatest fear
Has no boundaries
For I
Have never faced
Just one thing
That made me scared
My greatest fear
Maybe
A false thought
Disrupting my brain
Leaving me believing
That the unknown
Is my greatest fear

A dark coast.
In the islands of the bay
I sit by a windowside to
The plain day of the hour
In hay of the sun in
The moon of the beam rays
To the olden dark hours of the dawn
In the mutter of the ink in the dark coastal
Nights of the frentith of the hot day
I look upon the radar of the radiant
Keys of thew dark hours in there
Is column of the oak of the
Tint By the woods to sun in the palm
Of the train timber paper.
I sit by a windowside to
The plain day of the hour
In hay of the sun in

I look upon the radar of the radiant

Self-Censorship
Self-censorship
Creative cancer
Self-censorship
Nature of truth modify
Fakery mode
Symptom retained
Suppressed realism
Gone awry
Awakened
With steely force
To be heard
To be recognized
Without reprove
Without reproach
Not allowed
To steal for yourself
Not yours, mine
Just want to be heard
One final time
Or more
It's a choice

Why not??
It’s night and dark so the mind feels it’s safe to wander, though this is a false sense of security. In daylight the senses occasionally report back that which isn’t there. That assault causes the mind to retreat back into its shell. Now, within that shell is chaos, with exponential threads with multiplying themes and threats. Fear takes over...fear of the consequences of yesterday’s actions and foreboding thoughts of what might lie in the future. I pause to think reasonable and rational thoughts but my mind locks me out. Suddenly I can’t control my own mind. Panic strikes me... have I ever...

Certainty...
I’ve searched high and low, I’ve searched the surface and the depths. I’ve even searched the places that children go to hide. The quest is excruciating and the pain exponential in its intensity. What have I missed is the question for the ages, but no response is offered. The quest is for certainty. The only place left to look is behind. aaah yes, there it is... Certainty only exists in yesterday.

O
⭕️‼️‼️
They try to make me the insiders threat
They Wanna place bad psychological seeds that bring fourth bad harvests in others towards you
They hate that I’m loved no matter how they put things
They wanna point fingers & act like they never had a bad chapter in there life styles before
I was never good enough
They wanna gun for u
They wanna belittle u
They wanna call wolf on family feuds
Always wanna attack your character
Up beat battle after the episodes

6. Annotated Peoples Make Connections: if they walked around in love/for love/by love with SFX labels to their chests
my ears; jurassic lying dogs
crack an eye
at the slam door&shuts
with gutta-percha
abandoned housevines.
serum-anaesthetic so numb-
far from toilet.
bagful-godless plastic fluidclear
balloon stringing me along,
hear for me, my gadgets, my souls floating.
ersatz-doktor, labellapel I can’t

flat back & a tucked sweat-buckets
head wrap, time-bandage bondage aesthetic,
glass darkly revels when I sideblink
after a venerable dreamless...

Remix to drake's song " make me proud "
Yo… I never been the one to blame anybody for the pain that ive caused
Always letting peoples thoughts get the best of me shit i guess I felt lost
Even though the sun don’t shine these days I still burn brighter than a flame
So keep talking shit as I move forward you can call this shit the thomas train
I survive like its 1967 with the chaos on my mind and I feel the pain of my city
I hear em yell blind pig blind pig 456 years later im fightin for peace in reality
Quit bringing up my past yea we all got a story and everybody ain't perfect
Never once felt like...

Head of Young Man in detail (second movement )

Listen here, Poetry, i want to tell you something,
i'm gonna be straight with you here
you may find it somewhat upsetting
but it is for real
okay here goes -
i have conspired
to pull you out from where you hide.
i have connived
to kill you in the dark.
i have connived
to unwrite your bones and refashion them. ...
