To fight for the belief
that you control your own fate
To fight for tomorrow
To fight those negative feelings
To fight complacency
To fight for breakfast
the buttered- biscuit
To fight for wisdom
even if it doesn’t pay the bills
To fight for your elders
lord knows this society won’t
To fight for your family
they are all you have
To fight for morality
because the majority doesn’t determine
what’s right
To fight life--
the daily grind
To fight for love
To fight through loss
To fight against the menial and trivial
because there are so many things
in this world that really matter
To fight to understand the vast and unknowable
To fight the weather
the roads left un-iced
because you will still be getting to work on time
To fight for what’s right
so the example will be set for your children
To fight our desires
the voice in our minds we try to ignore
To fight the idea than anything is impossible
To fight mass delusion
To fight for free will
To fight indefinite servitude
to the monetary system
To fight on Sunday then
Monday and Tuesday
To fight on Wednesday
Thursday too
To fight for getting things done on Friday
and Saturday
even if you can’t go out for some beers
To fight the misery
for it will pass
To fight for elation
because you deserve to feel it again
To fight against everyone who ever said
you couldn’t do it and prove them wrong
To fight everyone
because no one can stand in your way
To fight for the idea that you have a purpose
even if other people think they don’t
To fight for the realization that everything matters
To fight for each other
To fight for money
To fight against poverty
To fight even when you know
that you’re going to lose
To fight even the sunlight
because you are determined to shine brighter
To fight for a full moon
visible without toxic smog
To fight sleepless nights
for you have a big day tomorrow
To fight for nothingness
so you may attain inner peace
To fight for hard work
because it really does pay
To fight for more to fight
To fight fire
with fire
To fight to fight
To fight for puppies
against humane societies needles
To fight for long walks
because no matter what anyone says
they are relaxing
late at night when the streets are barren
To fight traffic
To fight that 45 minute line
for a ride you have already done twice
because it's her favorite
To fight for the notion
that every day matters
and to really believe it
To fight for the fact
that you have value
and to never forget it
To fight for duty
To fight for necessity
To fight to be your best self
To fight for to the world
because there is still good left
To serve that greater good
To fight against your own wants and desires
for life is so much more
To fight for your needs
To fight for your life
To gain everything

**** me
like you love me
then leave me
like you freed me.
How ironic
these other stupid guys
wanna be me.
For these few short hours
I'm your one and only...
You'll be gone before I know it
I'm destined
to be lonley.
Building self worth
beneath the sheets
I always last longer
when I beat
my meat.
I want to be loved
more than anything else.
Can't take it much longer
I need some help.

He hit me again today,
he tells me
he's sorry-
it will never happen again.
I laugh
because I know
it's less painful
than crying.
Who am I kidding?
I deserved it.
No.
That is wrong.
But if it was wrong
why did it feel so easy?
If it was wrong
why
am I still here
when I know
full well
it will happen again...
I know
when it does
he will lie to me once more
and swear to me
it will never
happen again.
The radio blares
is this love
that I'm feeling?
They will never
understand
that he only hits me
because
he loves me.

I will spit in her soup today.
Not to be spiteful
or malicious
nor to be rude
or hateful.
But rather because I know..
Because I know it's the only
chance my saliva
has to touch her lips.
A thought I once
believed to be so harmless
which has overwhelmed me
to such an extent
that I can
no longer
bear it.
Why does she torment me?
Her mere presence makes me sick.
Oh how I wish
for just one Sunday
she would get lunch
somewhere else-
Please don't
go
somewhere else
I didn't mean it.
I need her.
Oh how badly
I hope
She doesn't order salad.

Don't be upset I didn't
wave back
when you saw
me today.
For I no longer see faces
only shadows-
indistingiushable
from eachother.
Drifting
through melancholy days
enduring
unberable conversations
with empty faces.
Four years ago
was the last time
I even saw my own...
Amazing how
when you're no longer
met
with your own
reflection,
You begin to foregt
who you are.

When I think of life without you
I'd rather take my life.
A whisper from inside
you better think twice.
But I don't wanna listen
I hate my own advice-
Oh this life
of men
and mice.
Shout out to the sky
can anybody hear me?
There is no answer
nobody loves me dearly...
Mind remanining silent
with a gun
to my head.
Maybe she'll finally
love me
when I'm dead.

When I was young
so much younger than today. My independence
seemed to vanish
into the haze.
A friend offers a flask…
oh conformity
How do you become so far reaching?
Well beyond the walls
of the western world.
Help me
get my feet back on the ground.
Morality
sacrificed as the flask empties…
feeling nothing
unity.
The rigid and demanding world falls away.
Oppression
suddenly feels distant.
Leaving behind a familiar feeling
empathy.
But now these days are gone and I’m not so self-assured.
Won’t you
please
please
help me.

Her hands grasped violently against his face as she begged for air,
But he determined she was not worthy,
A grand mistake she had made, putting her life in his hands,
And for what? Mere ****** gratification?
For he was a foul beast,
Yet he was not a selfish lover,
As the last breath of life left her she began to ******
Closing her eyelids he whispered lovingly into her ear, "You're welcome"

You sink, even with a life jacket on,
Crying is impossible, for you cannot feel,
Everything tastes the same,
Love becomes relegated to mythology,
Even your dog frowns when you're around,
Clarity is found through darkness,
You have accepted the fact that you will never be happy,
Yet you never lose hope, for you never had any.

He silently sympathized will all the women who he had recklessly allowed to float in and out of his life,
Completely replaceable,
As if they were nothing more than a vessel to encapsulate his sorrow,
How badly he craved that he was no such vessel for her,
But he sat there silently,
Filled with doubt,
Knowing full well that it could just as easily happen to him,
As he sat there enchanted by silent admiration he thought to himself,
True suffering can only come at the hands of those you love.
