The abandonment
Hauntingly dehumanized
Scarring the fabric

Vision_of_insanity
A mountain is not
what you see
from the air.
A vision is not what
you can see inside
the mountain...
Inside the mountain
a rock heart of
insanity.
Trembling.
what you see
from the air.
A vision is not what
you can see inside
the mountain...
Inside the mountain
a rock heart of
insanity.
Trembling.

Transdniestrian Sentiment.
All there is.
Is the silence.
The high pitched squeal.
Of the death of my hearing.
And.
I can hear the emptiness punctuated with electrical whines.
Anticipating something to just.
Fill the air.
With an angsty.
Revolt.
Against the.
Calm.
Is the silence.
The high pitched squeal.
Of the death of my hearing.
And.
I can hear the emptiness punctuated with electrical whines.
Anticipating something to just.
Fill the air.
With an angsty.
Revolt.
Against the.
Calm.

Dead
My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.

Needed Regardless
I rather be used
Relinquishing the unlove
The need for abuse
Relinquishing the unlove
The need for abuse

YOU
You are special
You are unique
You are powerful
You are equipped
You are knowledgeable
You are smart
You are important
You are valuable
You are loved...but,
always remember that
You are alone!

Untitled III
Is there freedom
In giving up or giving in?
Is there freedom
In letting life win?
Letting go
Letting everything just…be
All I ever wanted
Was to be free
In giving up or giving in?
Is there freedom
In letting life win?
Letting go
Letting everything just…be
All I ever wanted
Was to be free

The Lonely
Solitude whispers
a siren's call
Echoing through
the empty hall
Shadows stretch
consuming the light
Leaving the soul
in endless night
a siren's call
Echoing through
the empty hall
Shadows stretch
consuming the light
Leaving the soul
in endless night

Meditating atop mothers decaying corpse
How is it that you are repulsed
By this naked green body ?
Bliss appears to mind
What is it you see?
By this naked green body ?
Bliss appears to mind
What is it you see?

my suffering (documented)
my suffering
can easily
fill the
long hours
of the
long night,
tested and
pushing
back again,
no audience
to give
me thoughts,
no visible
sound of
speeches,
just more
loneliness
to my
naked eyes,
and i am
at a loss,
for what
i am,
and each
part entirely
knowable,
documented.

Why?
I really don’t understand
Am confused
Baffled
What
Are you trying to accomplish?
What is your goal?
Why?
Why do you hide?
Pretend?
I’m trying to be transparent
Honest
Of what are you afraid?
I remain
Confused
Am confused

I’m trying to be transparent
Honest
Of what are you afraid?
