River erosion
Sea sickness sinking into my skin.
Slitting folds and cutting moulds,
on my knees I beg:
where do I begin?

The More You Take
If I had been loved
Which I was
I might have been
A different person
If I was born free
More than you or me
The condition I'm in
Might not have Worsened
Yet, alas,
Time stretched out so fast
The years
Cut down like blades of grass
And I always seem to wonder
If only I had asked
Would this burden be mine for me to look past?
Set in Stone
Or Iron Cast
Made of bones
That blew away like ash
Which I was
I might have been
A different person
If I was born free
More than you or me
The condition I'm in
Might not have Worsened
Yet, alas,
Time stretched out so fast
The years
Cut down like blades of grass
And I always seem to wonder
If only I had asked
Would this burden be mine for me to look past?
Set in Stone
Or Iron Cast
Made of bones
That blew away like ash

Things are getting bad again.
It’s the middle of the day and I hear
Car horns
Ongoing cars flash their brights at
Me

looking for magic
I like to disappear
to hide
in books
looking for magic
it helps, sometimes
and hurts, mostly
this world feels so boring
comparatively
i want
to feel magick underneath my skin
to find it around every corner
I want the world to be infinitely more wonderous
than it is
there are no miracles here
just pain
and struggles
and suffering
just responsibilty
and demand
and need
just reality
I like to disappear
to hide
because I know
I can’t find what I’m searching for ...

Oh.
My touch is gone
It will likely come back
But for now until dawn
My writing skill cracks
I'm trying to make something to prove I am here
To remind all of my presence
To ensure that it's clear
To enslave my essence
For everyone to hear
I'm going on now
To prove that I can
But the only word I can think of that rhymes is cow
This feels like something a child would write
No verse, no structure, it's so late at night
My artistic hand has flourished and grown
But all at the cost of my "brilliant"...

The Heartbeat of a Man
Go to your room
Turn off all the lights and sounds
Tell me what you hear
Most people would say they hear nothing
But for me, the silence speaks volumes
My anxiety is so loud
and the demons in my head are screaming 36 years worth of
what ifs, why nots, and I told you so's
The weight of their words make me feel like I am drowning in two feet of water
because I can't get my footing to stand up and catch my breath
As they continue to pull me under
I begin to hear something else in the silence
I hear the heartbeat of a man...
Turn off all the lights and sounds
Tell me what you hear
Most people would say they hear nothing
But for me, the silence speaks volumes
My anxiety is so loud
and the demons in my head are screaming 36 years worth of
what ifs, why nots, and I told you so's
The weight of their words make me feel like I am drowning in two feet of water
because I can't get my footing to stand up and catch my breath
As they continue to pull me under
I begin to hear something else in the silence
I hear the heartbeat of a man...

Make it End
Darkness,
The closet closing in.
Red sweater hanging,
Gripping tightly, a pen.
Drunken men,
Screaming then,
Breaking smile,
Make it end.
The closet closing in.
Red sweater hanging,
Gripping tightly, a pen.
Drunken men,
Screaming then,
Breaking smile,

Better to Act than Understand
Hearts were at peace until you touched my hand.
From where did these desires arise?
Better to act on pleasing mysteries than understand them.
From where did these desires arise?
Better to act on pleasing mysteries than understand them.

Fade to Black
When the evening's twilight
Starts losing it's illuminating luster
The backdrop is salted
With grains of dim light
I feel my nocturnal energy ignite
This is when l feel most alive
When day fades to black
Starts losing it's illuminating luster
The backdrop is salted
With grains of dim light
I feel my nocturnal energy ignite
This is when l feel most alive
When day fades to black

CLEAR
MY VISION IS CLEAR YOUR INSANITY IS NEAR
I FCUK UP THE CHEQUE, AFFECTION PREMIERS
PUT YOU IN THE PAST I DON’T CHECK THE REAR
COUNTED ME OUT NOW THEY MOVN WEIRD
U BEAUTIFUL I’M BOLD I SQUEEZE IN YO THROAT
AUDEMAR GOLD, STUCK ON MY THRONE
SHE CURVY AND COLD WITH A FAT CAMEL TOE
LAY THE PIPE SHE FORGOT SHE HAD A HOME
SADNESS ADDICTIVE I CHECK HOW IM THINKING
CANT PLAY A VICTIM A PAWN TO THE SYSTEM
PUT IN THE WORK TO CHILL LIKE IM WINSTON
NO PAIN NO PRESCRIPTION JUST ANIMAL INTUITION
I FCUK UP THE CHEQUE, AFFECTION PREMIERS
