Thinking about something
Rain dripped off of a gutter like syrup. It only made the seconds stretch into minutes, giving me time to think, think, think. Think about something, something in my head, something I can’t hide, something somewhere, something that seems like nothing, the nothing that is me.

Point of Life
What is the point
When nothing I do can ever make a difference
When nothing I say can make a change
When nothing I do can summon a response
When everything I do just leads to pain
I'm tired of living
I wanna cut my arms into ribbons
I wanna drain my life and everything in it
I want to die
I want to die just to see if people would care
I want to die and watch everything disappear
I wanna die just for the fuck of it
Cause I can't handle living my life in a fuckin pit
Everything I say and do gets the same results
So everything...

Unraveling Panic
Pressurized contents
squeeze
Putting mind on pause
One last stab
at the bubble
of reality
One thought
beyond
And sanity
skitters
under the sofa
A frightened creature
Separate of self
No amount of cajoling
can recall it
World freezes
as time...

I CAN’T f**kING WIN
I can’t fucking win
Life has just been kicking my ass
I can’t fucking win
I try my hardest to be the good guy but get told I’m just the same.
I can’t fucking win
Life please give me a break before you break me
I can’t fucking win
I’m tired of trying
I’m tired of giving a fuck
I’m tired breaking my own heart
I’m tired of fucking fucking everything
BECAUSE
I
CAN’T
FUCKING
WIN
Life has just been kicking my ass
I can’t fucking win
I try my hardest to be the good guy but get told I’m just the same.
I can’t fucking win
Life please give me a break before you break me
I can’t fucking win
I’m tired of trying
I’m tired of giving a fuck
I’m tired breaking my own heart
I’m tired of fucking fucking everything
BECAUSE
I
CAN’T
FUCKING
WIN

A Journey through Sexuality and Gender
i was taught as a child
Straight was the only way
It was never acceptable
For anyone to decide that they were gay
men who liked men
lived their lives in sin
A disgusting abomination
As time went on
I left my dogma behind
i opened my eyes
expanded my mind
Why should I care if a guy wants a guy?
Once or twice, one even caught my eye
It wasn't wrong
But it still wasn't good
They were often cast out
And always misunderstood
I thought that I believed that it really was alright
But I realized even I was still...

AN HOURGLASS FIGURE - A fat lady's perspective
I stand fat in confidence
with my belly rolls,
excessive hip dips,
thighs of thunder
and an enormous belly
with lots of fat.
Yep, that's me!
I'm called fat
But that's nothing new
"Your body would be so amazing
if only you could loose a few kgs"
As though I said I want an amazing body
My body is wonderful
Naturally decorated with stretch marks
I love them
Every part of my being
is who I am.
The real me!
I'm beautiful on the inside
But I'm a goddess on the outside
I...
