just trying to find an escape
I will not allow myself to wake up in this carousel world of marching ants that wake up every morning and do something they hate.

3am, a bottle of Jack, and risks.
If every beer I've finished tonight were a finished poem then I'd have a years worth of writing but unfortunately my pen just hasn't been flowing. My minds been uneasy/ Fingers have been trembling/ Nerves never ending/ and its just been hard. I cant seem to force all the words that are stuck in my eyes, ears, and nose to travel out my mouth. So for now I'll just crack another beer and hope the words will finally appear.

beer for a poem
I awoke at 4am searching frantically for a cigarette that i dropped in a dream i started digging for the ashes hoping they hadn't set fire to my lovers arms that lay next to me but the only thing I found was her telling me that I was going crazy and I couldn't agree more.

4am
It's fascinating seeing the same worn out faces on the train Day after day Like a routine Always the same sad look same baggy eyes burnt out from too much coffee It's always the same dull smirk on the few that are happy Like a routine The days don't change I bet some of these people Will die on this train And before I know it I'm out the doors And off on the same routine With tired eyes And a worn out smile.

Blue Line to Damen
I sat watching the two actors in the cold room i was patient and calm while they were about to **** themselves waiting to carry on My instructor then said, “I want you to ask your partner something dark, something you would never ask them in a million years” the walls went quiet and all nerves struck like a chord patient and calm disappeared after he said each of those words One of them was shaking while the other was grimacing And that's when the shaking one asked, “Have you ever thought to yourself, maybe you'd be better off not living?” The grimacing man, was now blank and white like a sheet of paper or a snowy night And the shaking man, was still shaking.

the shaking man
If the sun fell deep below into the sea would the moon shine bright enough to bring you back to me?

bone to bone, flesh to flesh
A train ride from the country side Back to the big city Goes slowly and effortlessly Resembling all types of beauty As the train ticks and ticks/ I've seen the riches of families Who are still uneasy with life Next I will see the poor Who are trying to hang on ever so tight As the train ticks and ticks/ The country hills will roll gently and the wind will blow freely While cigarette smoke will start to cover the lonely city As the train ticks and ticks/ I realize the sad faces I see everywhere Shows whether rich or poor Tick/ Each of us has endless struggles Tick/ That no amount of money can afford to fix.
