The Hero in me
The hero in me”
Let’s discuss realities and the deep corner everyone denies to see
To break things down about me
this is a little trait of all the millions in me
I am people’s rock who guides the helpless souls for free
I open up my shoulders wide enough
to carry heavy weights and groans and yes sometimes that could be my ecstasy
They told me girl help me show me love and support and I honestly not once refused to solve their complexities
But wish they know i got deeper stuff in me
I turned red, i turned white, and...

Weighted blanket
That numbing shroud wraps over me, coherent thought hangs, threaded singularly. Thick, dense mind-fog cloaks me and the velvet blanket weighs heavy anchoring ideas, grounded.
That seesaw of energy and apathy, the muse both drains and guides me. Clawing out of this quicksand mind, trying to find solid land.
If I take flight will my wings melt instantly? Float off t'ward the sun and have it blind me. Or will I soar beyond the stars and weave in heaven's tapestry.
Landlocked, head-shocked, feet bolted, essence drained. Hands bound, eyes cast down, skull opened -...

Absence
To show you how much I care…
You may feel grief or lifted from my absence
Darling it is only to show that I truly care for you
Had I stayed, you would have been smothered by my presence
I believe in my lifetime, I have been clipped by fate or a master lesson my soul must learn
We can only truly fly when our wings our allowed to mature as our souls intended
To have been in your radar was definitely far from trivial
I have been selfish to have led you believe I was in your life to stay
I am tortured to have caused you sorrow
It seems most I...

My Recovery
My wounds still raw and aching
this body, my heart forsaking
The mirror showing flaws
bringing out it's claws
Tearing away my confidence, scratching the first layer
repeating to myself, everyday, one single prayer
Destroying what was once unbreakable
will repair itself, I'll be unshakable
My painful past will not dictate how I'll emerge
Someday, this path will diverge
It has to get better, even by sheer will
my joy, my happiness this shan't kill
Though, this is easier said than done
silently struggling with the...

Home Sick
I watch the clouds go rolling by
Still no rivers in my eye
No rolling winds to pull the dust
Of which I remember with a kind of lust
Back where I thought I was king
Where I did not fear the scorpions sting
I watched the clouds go rolling on high
In the place I called home before I said goodbye
I have new home here on another coast
But every once in awhile I will have a glass to toast
All the memories I can't seem to forget
Any time I have stand alone with a cigarette
Not all would remember it so fondly
A hard...
Still no rivers in my eye
No rolling winds to pull the dust
Of which I remember with a kind of lust
Back where I thought I was king
Where I did not fear the scorpions sting
I watched the clouds go rolling on high
In the place I called home before I said goodbye
I have new home here on another coast
But every once in awhile I will have a glass to toast
All the memories I can't seem to forget

Life
I wonder what life would be like if I just stop breathing? How can love be so amazing but also difficult to deal with...in life I wish to be vocal as much as I am understanding...I wish to erase the past and start all over again, with new memories and a new mindset...I wish my life hadn't been so hard growing up but glad that it was, because I am who I am today...life is vicious but breath taken...life is dull but also adventurous and wonderful...what is ones soul to do without that special person standing by them...how can pride overpower dignity? Tell me where do I stand in your mind when...

This Storm
This storm is right before my eyes
Thought I had seen them all
Feeling the strength of it
My senses now know
It’s a new reality
On the edge of destruction
A fragile moment sinking in
Like cracks on old porcelain
Everything is slowly breaking down
Drifting into the black
What was beautiful is now ugly
I am just a stain on the world
An unclean shadow
Dirty in every way
No redemption even from the devil
Close to my skin the knife cuts
A creator of scars
It never goes deep...

What was beautiful is now ugly

take my hand please
take my hand please.
guide me,
hug me,
love me.
understand me?
i'm reaching out
i beg, i pray everyday that someone will understand
worthlessness. sadness. empty.
these are the feelings that haunt me everyday
take my hand please.
guide me,
hug me,
love me.
but most of all, understand me please.

hug me,
love me.

loveself
falling in love
finishes
A varnished soul
with watery breezes
like misty kisses
on my skin;
puddled promises
wont sink in.
flaws sanded
against the grain,
knots expose every uglyscar
streaming every beautiful thought; trickles
to strip it bare,
erase the heart
already there
babbling and barking
hearts and thoughts
stepping on eggshell’s
shining show.
furnished heart and home
movein, backout
I remain whole.
fall in love with me
and you will know
how to fill...

Truth drug
He knows what questions to ask.
He knows which buttons to press.
He knows how much drink it takes.
He knows it becomes a truth drug.
He knows it will make me cry.
He knows the questions need asking.
He knows it probably helps me.
He knows it makes HIM feel better.
He knows it feeds the dependence.
So is it a means of control?
Which he knows is something that scares me.
Or is this my own paranoia?
Which will hide me in here forever.
He knows which buttons to press.
He knows how much drink it takes.

So is it a means of control?

Which will hide me in here forever.

Broken
I'm a golden bird with Daisy wings
Clipped and bound by those who own me.
I was born to fly and soar
But would I ever fulfil that promise?
I'm an eagle
Forced to live in the midst of pigeons.
I'm imprisoned,
Within four walls I can't see.
I'm a guitar,
Whose strings are work and broken.
I'm a guitar
Whose tune is meant for Kings.
I'm a future that holds a great promise.
I'm the light that'll shine for all to see
Clipped and bound by those who own me.
I was born to fly and soar
But would I ever fulfil that promise?
I'm an eagle
Forced to live in the midst of pigeons.
I'm imprisoned,
Within four walls I can't see.
I'm a guitar,
Whose strings are work and broken.
I'm a guitar
Whose tune is meant for Kings.
I'm a future that holds a great promise.
I'm the light that'll shine for all to see

Something
I shall lay here
Alone
I am not sad by any means
I am quite content actually
The silence is soothing
At last
My soul finds peace
In solitude
I am no longer just a thing
I am something
Something mysteriously beautiful
Alone
I am not sad by any means
I am quite content actually
The silence is soothing
At last
My soul finds peace
In solitude
I am no longer just a thing
I am something
Something mysteriously beautiful
