Self Portrait
A flawed, part-time perfectionist with a mind chemically imbalanced.
A heart of loyalty.
Lies as eyes.
A vessel slowly turning into pieces.
A heart of loyalty.
Lies as eyes.
A vessel slowly turning into pieces.

Lost In An Anxiety Dream
The dream,
An early morning awakening.
Past and present merge.
I’m in an unfamiliar place,
Staring at a concrete intersection,
Searching for known landmarks,
Trying to establish which way to go.
Each road leads to confusion.
Isolation.
Echoes of childhood have vanished for ever,
The familiar buildings replaced by office blocks,
And I stand alone by the crossroads, lost and without purpose.
An early morning awakening.
Past and present merge.
I’m in an unfamiliar place,
Staring at a concrete intersection,
Searching for known landmarks,
Trying to establish which way to go.
Each road leads to confusion.
Isolation.
Echoes of childhood have vanished for ever,
The familiar buildings replaced by office blocks,
And I stand alone by the crossroads, lost and without purpose.

The naked and the pain
Naked and thistle bled
my raw inner arms,
from crawling flat,
on my fat gut
grabbing at weeds
to pull me along
to a place where is
no love
to a face
that is nasty
its mouth grim and sagging
with words of no meaning
dropping like dung
I have a pastoral dream
a field without season
happy the buttercup
the mallow.
how wonderful the nettle
the flowering cherry
that know not decay
nor regeneration
of pleasant to evil;
daisy chain to thistle blood
from Disney love
to A...

Flame
When my life is dark, you are my flame, you maybe little, but you keep me sane. For life is cruel and murky at best, yet you help me as a friend through a math test. You make me giggle, you make me smile, you make me forget the darkness for a while. So thank you my friend, you sweet sexy thing, because you are my light, my eternal flame. Until the end.

I am thinking of you T
I Am Thinking Of You T
I am thinking of you
And wondering
if you're thinking of me too
Do I cross your mind
Do I make you smile
Do you remember me
Once in a while
Does your heart feel aglow
When you think of me
Like I do when I think of you
Do you dream of me
Like I dream of you
Do you feel the same
Like I feel for you
I am thinking of you
And wondering what do you do
Do you miss me on your lonely nights
Like I do when I'm feeling blue
Do you wish I was...
I am thinking of you
And wondering
if you're thinking of me too
Do I cross your mind
Do I make you smile
Do you remember me
Once in a while
Does your heart feel aglow
When you think of me
Like I do when I think of you
Do you dream of me
Like I dream of you
Do you feel the same
Like I feel for you
I am thinking of you
And wondering what do you do
Do you miss me on your lonely nights
Like I do when I'm feeling blue
Do you wish I was...

Dark Road
Down the dark road, my addiction lives
I can’t seem to forget the address
It sits right there, in the back of my mind
Reminding me, of stolen time
Like the sands of an hourglass becoming grains of salt
The bitterness creates a mountain
Try as i may, i work with might
I wake up sweating on a sleepless night
My resolve is hardened, my fist a rock
I pray for a breakthrough

Friends forever
Who says I'm lonely?
I have two besties;
pain and sorrow...
I have two besties;

Coward
Trapped inside my cage of fear.
Pacing like a lion, yearning to escape
Reality is not as it seems
Smiling face, laughing out loud
It’s all so fake
Can’t you see me, I scream inside
No one hears my heartfelt cry
Someone save me from this hell I’m in
Burning and Rotting from the inside
Lives would be better in my demise
Taking me slowly is so much pain
I can’t be so lucky to end it swiftly
I’m a coward for not ending it all
I’m hurting everyone in my life
Pacing like a lion, yearning to escape
Reality is not as it seems
Smiling face, laughing out loud
It’s all so fake
Can’t you see me, I scream inside
No one hears my heartfelt cry
Someone save me from this hell I’m in
Burning and Rotting from the inside
Lives would be better in my demise
Taking me slowly is so much pain
I can’t be so lucky to end it swiftly
I’m a coward for not ending it all
I’m hurting everyone in my life

Blessed Immemorium
I invoke the right of self declination
To memorialize my passing
It was a dreadful day
Cold bleak and rainy
Vanity would say the gods tearing
Rent asunder at my demise
Thunderbolt searing headstone scarred
Roar of wind throwing all about
With tumult and detritus scattered
Tears shed in love and misery
The wind whipping all to frenzy
So rain mixed with sorrows brew
Three tears fall on hallowed ground anew
Once a farm of ages past
The ghosts howl their discontent
As the...

it turns out
It turns out
I'm just a man who takes estrogen and wears makeup sometimes
At least, though
It turns out, I'm a better man than I was before
But actually, as it turns out
This is just the fear talking
Because it turns out
Imagination is What,
Along with
Love and vulnerability, faith, and a willingness to connect
face and eyes, heart and soul
I'm just a man who takes estrogen and wears makeup sometimes
At least, though
It turns out, I'm a better man than I was before
But actually, as it turns out
This is just the fear talking
Because it turns out
Imagination is What,
Along with
Love and vulnerability, faith, and a willingness to connect
face and eyes, heart and soul

Breath of Death
So I'm alive because I breathe?
I'm alive because I think with a mind of my own?
You say I'm alive because I live a life on this rugged road?
Hmph! You define alive as simply living.
But what if I am ONLY living?
A life in absence of a soul worth giving.
Is that Life.
