My writing is an art form that you will never truly see. I can read you excerpts, though I choose to omit parts The real parts that you just can’t swallow Just can’t digest or fully understand For I, like many others, speak Truth. Truth unknown to the lowly peons, the sheeple of planet Earth. You absorb information through loopy fun straws Call mass-produced culture your own Like sponges you soak this up And roam the land with a sense of entitlement. No, my writing is an art form that you will never truly see Because you’ll bastardize it, bend it on one knee While it begs for validation that it doesn’t really need. No, you’ll never see it. Not even when I’m dead

Art is sacred.
The scent of gin flows With every step it grows More pungent The bottles flow They say, "Why does a ****** ***** drink class like that?" Class doesn't come from a bottle She knows too well A short round of laughs Insecurities bubble up Rage flowers in the garden of Eden tonight Hidden in her crimson Grin She slowly sneaks you in Her best friend Gin It's Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde They will destroy you But her heart won't.

Tanqueray
The solution you pose is only temporary; A bandaid over a bullet wound. You can cover signs of pain, But the bullet won’t heal. I sat patiently all my life Took the ******** Fell in line Just to avoid the unavoidable conflict And criticisms of your delight. You tossed me a core, Which I humbly ate from The crumbs of your conquest. I ate and I never complained Because it was your company I enjoyed. I never want to be alone. The solace I find in your presence. The joy that is in our mutual struggle. That’s what I loved most. We were the mutual crutch that led us one step closer to hope. But Silence ruined us. If only we thought to speak truths that remained unknown. “Speak now or forever hold your peace” I never held my peace, I just ignored it.

Thanks for nothing.
I'd gladly strip down naked for you, But I already have. Beyond clothes, there's only so much to take off. At this point, I'll have to start shedding parts of myself. The things you don't want to see. Beyond skin, beyond muscle, beyond bone. Is this what you want? Do you want the toxic? The absurd? The crazy? I don't think you're prepared for the train wreck that will ensue.

Shed.
The seeds were already planted, We just neglected to watch them grow. Just when the buds began to poke themselves through the black Earth, You made the executive decision to pluck them from the soil. I never did see what they'd turn out to be and you never did care, But I still wonder what they would've looked like.

Abort.
I sit patiently waiting to spoil. The rays bouncing off emerald leaves Cast tiny shadow displays that synchronize with blades of grass dancing in the summer wind. They're coming. Laughter is silenced by the impending crash and rumble of mechanical horses travelling down their rails. The cries overpower the ruckus. Bodies surround me like a zombie honing in on its next fleshly morsel. Yet I feel unthreatened. But I feel alone. Outnumbered. Their joy draws out the sadness in me, their fear my anger. I am as empty as my bank account. Sheltered by the elements of social interaction. Black bars all around me It's a prison with tiny loopholes. Only the intelligent may escape. Dead trees are responsible for holding the weight of my body, yet I thank them by stirring its slumber and passing gas on the twigs below me. I hope they forgive me. For I have nothing materialstic to give but my heart, body, and soul. Maybe sanity if that is still left. I require the basics. No more, no less. But even that is too much to ask. Where has humanity gone? Stripped of its original nature and replaced by dollar signs, profits, greed. Take me back to the simpler times So I can go back and read. My life is no good here. Let me spoil.

Waiting to Spoil.
I tell the lies For I fear the truth That baffles and tricks and lies before me. Today I just felt like I had to tell you the truth. I cheated. I cried. I lied. I faked. I built a wall to protect myself from you all. I'm a highly addictive person.

Speak for yourself.
It's like stretching your arms out for your last breath, last smell, last vision, last touch. The end approaches you and then you realize you never even got what you were looking for.

You can keep dreaming. In the end its all a lie.
The lashings of a love Ruled by an iridescent form Of hate, sorrow and fear Controlling your every move Your heartstrings constantly Torn on edge Sometimes I wish I could make it all alone But that's a thing that will never change.

Untitled.
Manipulated like buttons. Pressed systematically And bound in cables. Sit and stare. Get ****** in. Mesmerized. Exterminated like rats. Swept up in the closet And forgotten forever. Stand in line. Do not fret. It's just a file.
