I am but a reflection of society.
Was it not I Who tried to die Nine Lives Three are spent And here I lie My third grave. I fell slave to love To behave Elocution by electrocution- See my eyes Touch my hair I may breathe men for air But mine eyes Have seen the light To the unenvyable cry Of my plight Slight of hand; What a trick it is to die. Maggots feast upon my eyes, I would've rather burnt: Little jew, little jew What has Herr Doktor done to you Chimney stacks Bellow black; I do not do I do not do The black shoe I've been living in For nearly two years of suffering My ailing mind Blind to happiness. deranged: A form of estranged from reality. For now I fly High as a vulture Hung in the sky, The Zoroastrian carcass Beneath my circle; i cannot die, Without that vulture A phoenix become As bright as the Sun And I will never die Cheated of six lives it is not fair so yes i eat men like air.

As Sylvia Plath
my gift. the greatest gift of all. You cannot give it back. and it is not easy to give to sacrifice my gift to you is time. a part of the only life i know i get, this one chance. and this present i give to you to do with as you wish. but beware: i can only give so much you cannot give it back.

Gifts are only good given
I don't care. It's that simple. And as much as I try to, Caring just isn't what I do. So I don't. I don't care.

Apathetic Relief
My little ray of sunshine: Your sunny smile, your sunny face. This golden train of hair, That follows you place to place. Your beauty so fair, Your will - strong, There's nothing you can't do. Your fight to care, Can do no wrong, Beauty shining true. So to the girl with the golden heart; And golden hair too: Keep a pure golden heart, And to yourself always be true.

My Little Ray of Sunshine
My words fail me Most when I need them Like a babe, dumb to speech, A mouthful of nothing. My words fail me Most when I'm with you Because our souls pray "Namaste" And never stop talking. And my words truly fail me When I can see what you want me to say And all that I can mutter, Might as well be thrown away.

Failing Words
Cigarette most foul: Burnt lips, Bitter kiss. Last action ere bed, Left for dead. G-d have mercy; My body a temple And this my incense. Immense My pulsing temple Thoughts forgotten It's a lost prayer Uttered under hushed whisper, Cigarette most foul.

Cigarette Most Foul
It all began one crisp, Spring night When I had a secret to share. And once I did, you didn't take flight, You stayed, stayed because you care. And though I left and grew, For a year I missed you so, And I think it's time you knew: You stayed, but I had to go. Through all the pain I ne'er showed; The drugs and drinks and men, Through some dark times you don't know You stayed now, stayed then. So to you my friend, my dearly beloved: I wish naught but joy and love, I promise for you I'll stay, Even to watch from above.

To my hero
How seemingly mystic The conservatory ideas, engraved into our existence developed into passions leading to so much. How seemingly confusing it can all be; the cyclic, linear process of life. Neither dead nor living. There is only self. Only one thing I can be sure of. Self... whatever that may be. But that frightens me: Only self, myself only me and again... i'm alone in the dark. How selfish existence is...

Solipsism
It's almost that time of year again, When I have to say goodbye... and you're still nowhere to be found. I want to just run away and never come back, drug myself into a wondrous stupor Numb from your mutilating grief. "I'm done mourning" I keep saying. I'm not. I haven't even properly started... Maybe I should join you... In the great abyss.

The great Abyss
I don't belong. Never have. I don't know where to go. Might as well not exist.
