I walk upon this river like its easier than land, evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand
In my heart dwells an awkward entity That drifts my mind and body separate. What mitigates this dualist enmity? An energy which I could never hate. A stimulant that amplifies the soul Forever feeds the hunger of the flesh When eating means I must maintain my cool my inner qi remains to be unrest Yet there is one that manifests the bridge A daredevil! (I’ve warned about the risks) Descending from my isolated ridge I greet with an unprecedented brisk. For I had acted faster than I think To love a girl (disaster!) in a blink.

First Sonnet
I grew up in a haunted house Where walls were wet with blood. Phantasmagoric phantoms of my mother set the mood. Cadavers roamed the rooms Their choral moans in sync. To die in such a residence, Surviving on the brink. The days were drowned in silence, While night surfaced the screams Of murdered men. I lived inside a sea of make-believe. And mirrors morphed The monsters into mad reality Insidious-their curses are My sad normality Today I am awake because my horrors never sleep The fictive fiends cry melodies My mind cannot compete

I kissed a man but I am straight and it felt okay but the whole time I was thinking "I'm hungry, I wonder if he is too" because some things in life are more important than kissing.

There's plenty of fiction about zombies but there are dead people all around us not even realizing that they are living a lie absorbed in everything but reality itself. Theres a disease thats spreading and its called conformity thats airborne and you don't notice the symptoms because it feels comfortable. But once you go to the doctor (who lives inside your head) he will diagnose you with zombie disease and will give you these instructions: think, breathe, learn. Its a shame that people are afraid of going to the doctor or cannot afford healthcare.

Man to my past, child to my future age is an irrelevant concept but I'll keep counting anyway when will I ever grow up?

Grow Up
Clear as a window (well, I'll wipe it till its clean) I will speak and I will listen but I don't know what you mean it gets hard to pinpoint exactly where I am. so I draw a map of landmarks that is modeled after catscans north is south is east is west I'm used to it by now if you try to play Columbus you will most likely drown go to town! ask the people what had happened to the clown "he got up and left one day and didn't even make a sound... but he's around we hear him when he speaks inside our minds never gives straight forward statements just communicates with rhymes" Yes The loyal, happy townsfolk noticed, but they never said that something poisonous made him delirious inside his head instead of getting help, he just played what he was dealt three 6s and a joker laughing all the way to hell

I've been stuck inside a maze with no easy way to see and if i could light this fire then just maybe I could leave There are moments when my efforts win down crumbles my borders I'll take a step and then the next moment the path becomes a corner. I don't know how I got here and its scary to believe that I tricked myself to coming making me my own worst enemy I lost all of my memories but I will not forget how it feels to not remember that an outside world exists. Tomorrow's never promised Yesterday has passed haven't kept up with the present and nobody's ever asked the last time i made the rash decision not to think I took all my common sense and I poured it in a drink See I don't know how I got here but one thing is for sure all my thoughts are corrupted but Reality is pure these labyrinth walls whisper but what's really in my ear screams "the only way to exit is to realize you are here"
