The world rejects me
tastes then spits me out
such a bitter texture on the tongue
I have been given the ability
to understand & argue
both sides of an issue
might just be a symptom
of my fickle disease
I am a toy in life's childish hands
spreading sneezes
as it shares me with the other worlds

They told me, "don't worry."

They told me "don't cry..."

They told me, "it's a piece of cake..."

They told me, "you can overcome."

They told me  "there will be a solution."

Yet, they cry for their own pain;

They trembled in fear;

The world pretends to be "OK,"

While we are in pain.

If they suffer...

We console them "As we are fine."

"The world pretends."
Everyone in this world wears a mask for others.

I sought the earth
With trembling hands
Raking
My fingers
Against black soil
Deeper and deeper
I dug with
Urgency
Aching and rusty
I turn over
Rock and bone

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.

Not everything needs a poem
Sometimes
it’s already

good enough.

There is no taming the arduous mentality
Triumphant in it's self-inflicted battle
You cannot free the mind from the mind.

I miss places
I only went to

The hesitation that you felt on your lips
You dream to live a lie
Constant control
