I peer out at the world through a fractured lens,
The crimson stains upon my soul I breathe in.
Each echoing drip a dark reminder of what's been,
A plush white canvas now marred by sin.
The path I forged, a trail of tortured screams,
A younger me, dragged down by darkened dreams.
My charcoal heart, a hollow, echoing space,
Holds the remnants of a brighter, sweeter grace.
The skies that shimmered, futures sung so fair,
A taste of nectar, a dream suspended in air.
One last look I steal before the brushstrokes fall,
This canvas I'll repaint upon the shattered wall.
They never sought the truth, the one I held within,
A stranger's smile I wear to mask the war within.
A pounding drumbeat echoes in my head,
The urge to scream, to lash out, left for dead.
The door swings wide, a facade I must maintain,
For escape's a luxury I cannot attain.
Back to the gloom I go, to face the life I know,
But a flicker of hope remains, a seed that will yet grow.

Their eyes
Will always
Look down
On you
Their hearts
Will never
Change
So warm
Your heart
In solitude
A hearth
Of poetic
Flames...

“I don’t think
People
Understand how
Stressful
It is to explain
What’s going on
In your head
When you don’t
Even understand
It yourself..”

And then
the night
comes flooding
in, like
a spilled beer.
Fear is a
rabid bat;
fatally
infecting.
Loneliness is
an ice cube
in a bathtub
melt-
ing
slow-
ly.
Love is a
flat toad in
the road of
life.
Hope is a
broken dish,
an empty
pocket,
a shattered dream.
Life is a sparrow
in the cat's mouth,
an abscessed
tooth, with no
antibiotic.
It's a whale
in a frozen
ocean;
an eagle in the
city.
Insanity is
digging for the
courage to
continue
day after
day
after day.
