American I consider myself different. in ways that cannot be defined. yeah...that's me.
she's laying awake at night staring at your face with all of its expressions she stares deep into the layers of skin wrapped in veins and arteries where your skull hides your brain I'll slice the thought and break your mind and as i chip away all of these meaningless things i chip these memories, these heartbreaks, this abandonment. like an infection coming for your soul. i rip away every aspect of every hope and desire like the fire deep in your stomach when she appears you hope to have her there, when you're not really here. thriving and convulsing to get out fingers twitch it moves up your hand they tremble and shake your arms compelled to move your muscles ache. you feel the loss of control. you feel this burning sensation crawling in your back like a snake slithering around and around your spinal cord squeezing and tightening its grip with every movement you make. holding on to every kiss now every moment in its passionate complex feeling the beads of sweat run down her shoulder blades,sides,lower back as she thrusts her hips against yours your running for it now you remember the sounds she made the way she breathed. shes putting on her clothes strapping her shoes. your still sleeping.

A woman named Jealousy and feeling of paranoia
Its dark outside. only the glare from the street light depicts the plants from the street as its light cuts through tiny crystals falling from the sky like miniature lighting bolts. Thumping down on the tin roof above my head. its calm and gentle, soothing to say the least. beautiful in the most simple way. yet accompanied by an alarm which insists little children jump into bed with frightened eyes and trembling fingers and parents turn off the electricity. My eyes feel heavy. As i'm deliriously staring into space i begin to fall engulfed in egyptian cotton sheets i fall so deep so dark awaiting a response awaiting a scream something. my anticipation was wasteful. I am engulfed, devoured, nothing can compare to this. Nothing can pull me out. nothing. especially not now. Then i wake up, and the world is a beautiful place. ...and i can see you. You are the street light. I am the rain.

theres no tomorrow when there is only today and in this moment there is nothing but beauty,love, and frustration but i wouldn't have it any other way. i wouldnt have it without you. you are the only pillars that i could ever have for this stubborn bridge the only constants in my constant forever in this cruel dark world, with evil that influences and spreads it gasses about. the only light that shines through the thickest of curtains at the weakest point of my existence. i can see it in your innocent little eyes and in your tears when your upset. how could i leave you i can see the disappointment as well every time i go away. your always in disbelief. your so gentle and small. you have no idea about how ugly the world can be. I feel as though i ruin a small portion, of the innocence that i so cherish, every time i walk away. I do it for you. I do it to help you remain comfortable, humble and content in your resting place. I hope that you will forgive me. Please forget that this even occurred.

To my children.
Why does everything have to be so perfect for everyone? all the time, every time. see-it-to-believe-it a blind man can see more than we can. we as in greedy,filthy,hungry,hypocritical, antagonizing, walk-the-walk, and talk-the-talk kind of society. I've come to the realization, that i am my own and you are your own worst enemy. and i refuse to carelessly create a dependency on the defected critic within myself. I have a brain. I am sane. Insanity is a fabrication of ones own ability to ACCEPT, CONCLUDE, and CONVERSE. so in turn the insane will confuse their own reality for the worlds reality. Can you imagine, adopting a word and labeling yourself with it? As if YOU were molded around IT. Not allowing yourself to distinguish this imaginative delusion from reality By an opinion, not a fact you have adopted and concocted within yourself an imaginary abnormality. which will never leave your mind unless of course you will it to. I was so sick. I was so hurt. I was damaged goods. I was, I am. I I I I I I I I stands for imagery which i get when i relate the word i to myself. I envision two little mes' sitting a top each shoulder influencing the voice inside my brain to do things. Influencing the "control center" if you will. But the thing is.... That's my conscious mind, not really me. Until i realized this, I had never felt more alone. Under going this epiphany of sorts, this deep evolvement of my very soul, I was drug out by the ankles, out of the very existence that i had come to accept as my own. When I opened my eyes to discover the truth and beauty in life i could perceive things differently, with clarity. Refreshing. I could wake up with a smile. Not only tolerate but accept people and their habits. Converse with them as if i had been connected in some meaningful way. And as I lay my head down to sleep, I allow myself to conclude that I am me with all of my flaws, grammar mistakes and all. I am still who i want to and should be.

There is a burning in my chest a deep feeling creeping up that i can't deny. is it coming back? this awful superstition this paranoia of sorts. has all sanity in my mind disappeared and my epiphany an illusion is sanity real? or is sanity the dream and crazy is the me the you the great ******* spectacular anything and everything that you and i desire? am i the one whose heart and whose very soul depend on this fire? why do people exaggerate every part of their being to seem intellectual, mystical, and care about everything? why should you? why should i? we can sit on the rooftop of this parking garage and watch this whole ******* city go to **** and have each a bottle of cheap wine laugh and reminisce about the old times where we never knew each other and how we wish we did how we are so alike and dream about a hypothetical kid and how she would be or how everything could be perfect between you and me and then it would happen but what would happen? would we be everything we imagined? or would we be the same as the city?

poem.
i'm spinning. i see you. you see me. a curve in your lips lights and people -a blur. i am entrapped. captivated. I love those lines underneath your eyes when you smile. everything feels so alive. my hand feels the warmth of your neck. and i...forget the world. opening my eyes to a beautiful face. your eyes are closed. i think i'll just stare for now. examining your hands long fingers, that welcome mine. a smile that beckons the sun to pass over those hazel brown eyes of yours. i am engulfed in your very presence and my entire being is enthralled with every touch every look oh god look at me again. I don't know what i'll do. It's past the point of infatuation i find myself grateful for your body. laying next to mine. breathing. speaking your bizarre words doing this in your sleep. I miss you when you sleep. life is unfathomable without you. this is affinity. i am drawn. i crave your space. i need you. i want you. what are the chances of people like us, falling in love. you are my impossible.

Should i pretend this isnt happening? this distant fog I'm drifting through I'm in this haze of trials and tribulations Should it be ignored? Should it be faced? When in my peripherals there is always some shadow lurking about. picking away at my brain then swiftly disappears. It honestly gives me a ******* headache. with a tap tap of a pencil the beat of a some ghetto *** hoodlum car passing by. some unimportant individual with unsubstantial advice and "unbiased" opinions with meaningless passerby conversation that i wont remember when i go to sleep. on some unintelligent debate without true stone cold facts and i'm observing this and listening to this and i just think....have these people not read a single book in their life? anyway, a problems only a problem when you make it a problem. and you only make it a problem because you can't find a solution. and you cant find a solution when at every string you reach for is broken or tied in a knot. now wheres the resolution in that? where's the stride, the hope? and all along i'm wondering, is it the posture in my back? and your standing on your tiny tippy toes hopping to and fro yet there you stand. in the fog, alone.

woman rage.
Things are most pivotal  when advances are at stake. millions of people live at leisure with breathing, intake and exhale and at such a loss would they be if their lungs collapsed and their body fell. what a struggle that would be like watching a moth die as you poked and probed with a sewing needle. would it make you cruel? does it make the moth cruel when eating your clothes? and once the moth in agony died, would you cry? would you have it a funeral? I have this evocative voice in my head that tells me... no, you wouldn't. but its the imbrication of it all...the act of, the act of doing, whose to say that suffering isnt as beautiful as the birth? Is it inhumane not to have a preference? would you consider one without a preference numb? are we not all animals in the same circle of life and death?

random thought of the day
Walking,walking,Walking. Driving, driving, Driving. Parking,parking,Parking. Competition,worry,Win...yet Lose. Heart.Home.Hurt. Kiss.Love.Lie. Yes.Maybe.Nevermind. Friend. betray.Lie. Sleep. Dream. Hope. Money.frugal? NOT. need.need.need. no no no time for me. Lust.Love.Jealousy? What?! Who me? Reach.Fall.Reach. pity the poor when rich. Pity the rich when poor. No one will ever do anything about any of this. this is comparable in terms of importance and reality. Pick your battles she told me Never be submissive, experience taught. Never trust, the world whispered in my ear. All too quiet as if it were a secret Scarred is he who wears a smile. only as a substance lay in his blood yet all the while in confusion is he who refuses to find a solution. Hard is it, to accept the past. no words, no questions asked. Vacant spaces with blank stares, Never to be kissed, to be held choose not to be aware. To see hundreds of people everyday to never count them to never think what is their middle name? What is their favorite color? What we're their parents like? What are they like? Have they been hurt, are they hurt? read between the lines of a vacant stare have hope that a smile is genuine and may you find happiness there.

Relation.
rays of sunshine through the window between the blinds dwell over my eyes lingering like star dust glittering in all of its gold glory a smile a smile with teeth hands embraced eyes on eyes like friendship bonds love intertwines constant everlasting getting lost in your pupils that i am in your class staring, sheepishly thinking ***** beautiful thoughts a smile a laugh tickiling early morning sunrise.
