Shut Up!
running through my head
as scurrying ants
biting
into thoughts
bleeding stupidity
into my brain
get a grip
no one cares
so shut up
feeling like melted ice cream
on a hot sidewalk.

Disgusted
Disgusted…
with the sodding USA.
Whatever possessed me
to join up two score and ten ago...
I'll never know...

...
I'm a broken heap lying
In the darkest corners of my closet,
Where the tendrils creep onto my skin
Leaving dotted lacerations
A map to the hell trapped within.
In the darkest corners of my closet,
Where the tendrils creep onto my skin
Leaving dotted lacerations
A map to the hell trapped within.

Efforts
Happiness is not here
Happiness is not there
I seek I do not find
It is not fair
All efforts in vain
(I'm losing my mind)
For zero gain.
Happiness is not there
I seek I do not find
It is not fair
All efforts in vain
(I'm losing my mind)
For zero gain.

breeds.
where my pen, leads,
i follow,
hungering, for the read,
then, i swallow,
things pen breeds.

FRAUD POETRY
Sometimes I worry
That I’m not really a poem-
Just a bunch of words
That I’m not really a poem-
Just a bunch of words

Tired
I am geting tired,
So tired -
Cemetaries are beginning
To look good
As a way of being
Looked after.
So tired -
Cemetaries are beginning
To look good

Looked after.

One Straw Too Many
Maybe it was the
Weight of us this
Week, or maybe
I was just
Hungry; but I laid
Face down on the floor
And wept
For my spilt pizza.
Weight of us this

I was just
Hungry; but I laid

Talk To Yourself, Riss.
Its not a smile
Its dead eyed bliss
Just drown it all
That's the quick fix
That way you can't
Blow out your mind
You'll just miss
Its dead eyed bliss
Just drown it all
That's the quick fix
That way you can't
Blow out your mind
You'll just miss

Whats inside
Good days and bad
Look all the same
The appearance doesn't change
Just what's in my brain
Look all the same
The appearance doesn't change
Just what's in my brain
