Innocence
It hurts you again and again
making you wonder where it began.
At times its loud,
at times its proud,
at times its broken
but those times are unspoken.
Its innocent,
but not for long.
It grows up
and learns the wrong.
In the end,
there is no friend...
just the pain
that drives you insane.
making you wonder where it began.
At times its loud,
at times its proud,
at times its broken
but those times are unspoken.
Its innocent,
but not for long.
It grows up
and learns the wrong.
In the end,
there is no friend...
just the pain
that drives you insane.

Inheritance
Memory
Legacy
Call it what you will, but it is
the feeling that rises
when I see the skin on my knuckles
and remember
that my mother's hands had the same texture
when I was young.

Dialogue with my shadow
I hate myself,
And I don’t want to live.
I can’t find the courage,
To try and forgive.
Just breathe
But my mind’s full of fog,
And I can’t seem to focus.
Or deal with bad thoughts,
It all seems so hopeless.
Just breathe
So please can you tell me
What difference it makes,
If everything I do
Turns into a mistake?
Just breathe
It’s not that simple,
My life is a mess.
If only you’d know,
The things I should confess.
Just breathe
But I hurt so many...
And I don’t want to live.
I can’t find the courage,
To try and forgive.
Just breathe
But my mind’s full of fog,
And I can’t seem to focus.
Or deal with bad thoughts,
It all seems so hopeless.
Just breathe
So please can you tell me
What difference it makes,
If everything I do
Turns into a mistake?
Just breathe
It’s not that simple,
My life is a mess.
If only you’d know,
The things I should confess.
Just breathe
But I hurt so many...

Just a Fraction of the Mosaic
I fear when people look at me
all they see
is a broken collection of shards
something that is not quite a whole
but when the light finds me just right
they can see
a kaleidoscope of technicolor emotions
exploding from inside of me
like a stained-glass window
offering a view of my battered soul
all they see
is a broken collection of shards
something that is not quite a whole
but when the light finds me just right
they can see
a kaleidoscope of technicolor emotions
exploding from inside of me
like a stained-glass window
offering a view of my battered soul

Dark nights
I cannot sleep when my bed is swallowing me
When the walls are closing in
And the ceiling is collapsing over my head
My arms and legs are bags of sand
Each weighing a ton
The sand has filled my entire body
Every inch of my being is too heavy to move
My throat is filled with sand for I cannot speak nor scream
The darkness in the corner is growing
My eyes are fixated on it
It grows larger now inches from my face
I lay helpless as a tear escapes my eyes that will not shut
-M.M.C

The darkness in the corner is growing

Anticipation
Is she going to like me
Do I look alright
Will she like the way I am
Or think me an awful sight
She'd seen pictures of me in every pose
Made signs that she approved
But what if she turns away in disgust
Has me forcibly removed
The voice from her mouth was tender sweet
Pics I'd seen showed all her beauty
But if I had to be honest
I'm scared stiff to meet this cutie
I hope he's going to like me
Hope he thinks I'm beautiful
I've waited a long time for this
Am I being a fool?
I am no catwalk model
No beauty...
Do I look alright
Will she like the way I am
Or think me an awful sight
She'd seen pictures of me in every pose
Made signs that she approved

Pics I'd seen showed all her beauty
But if I had to be honest
I'm scared stiff to meet this cutie
I hope he's going to like me
Hope he thinks I'm beautiful

Bloom
Buried deep within my heart was a rose with no petals that always had a song to sing, accompanied by a thorn to sting.
She would say I loved you so I was willing to become you and leave me behind. Find solace in the confines of your mind and even go so far as to dwell in the linings of your throat so I could leave when you spoke and return when you heard traveling through and through the deepest parts of you.
I looked and said if you have no petals, that means you're dead, why and how are you still in my head?
She would laugh and laugh until one single...

insults and truth
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all,
Wasn't that what you said?
Yet you want the truth, even if it hurts,
Both requests I cannot abide,
For to me the truth only comes in one form,
An insult
And a compliment only shrouds its true nature,
A lie
Yet you want the latter,
A gratification not deserved,
That's what you all want,
And I can't, I just can't,
So I keep the trap shut,
But you force it open,
And the truth comes out
It overpowers you, and you never talk to me again.
It happens...

I MISS YOU (DAD)
I'm standing alone
in the pouring rain,
staring at your grave-stone
feeling this endless pain.....
The name that I read
NOEL J. POTTER SR.
born May 17, 1936,
died March 1, 1984....
Though I never knew the man
I consider him my dearest friend,
and as the time passes by
I still feel so much pain inside......
I wrap my arms around myself
feeling the body beneath,
through the orange jump suit I'm wearing
instead of a suit of mourning....... ...

surrendering
becoming who i really am
while stepping out of all i am
is exhausting, and rather counterproductive
loving the skin that i am in
but hating the skin that i am in
there’s no answer, as life is endless
is there anywhere that i can go
to hide away, and end my troubles
i’m not giving up, i’m simply retiring
this earth’s real sick and this existence–
is an endless list of toxic shi-
and i’m arriving, to this chapter’s end
and i’m departing, from this book i’m stuck in
while stepping out of all i am
is exhausting, and rather counterproductive
loving the skin that i am in
but hating the skin that i am in
there’s no answer, as life is endless
is there anywhere that i can go
to hide away, and end my troubles
i’m not giving up, i’m simply retiring
this earth’s real sick and this existence–
is an endless list of toxic shi-
and i’m arriving, to this chapter’s end
and i’m departing, from this book i’m stuck in

Bunch Of Bullshit
Fuck me, fuck you
i don’t care if we never screw
Your lost I’m fine
I found another Va-GINE.
You teased , me good,
I thought , you would.
I came, you left
DUP knows the rest,
Fuck me fuck you.
I wear my anger like a shoe.
Forget the verse forget the rhyme
I’d fuck you anytime.
