I try to contain my mad dog
in some kind of cage but he
refuses to be less than he is
and snarls and tears my world
to shreds while I applaud.

Solstice

Summer rains and pleasant breeze
Gracious shade from reaching trees.

Balmy days and mild nights
Charming smells and vibrant sights.

A solstice born to a lover's June
Heralds Fall that comes too soon.

squeeze the bottle tightly
Someone said don't go quietly.
Trace the vein
I feel something, but only slightly.

It's not my intention to bring pain everywhere I go
Just how I've lived; so, baby, it's all I know


With a hand wrapped around my throat,
And another in my lap,
I'm death-defying,
******' flying,
Ready to crash.
Land another job,
But it doesn't get rid of me.
Ain't nothing that does,
Is that stupidity or an epiphany?


Lord knows I'm a liar.
I got my downswings but this life ain't so bad,
After all, it's all I've had
I only wish I could have spent it better,
cradling your head in my lap
and running my hands through your hair.

There's people I need to cut from me,
Bleeding red until I'm free,
like ribbons in the wind.

Anyway I live
Anywhere I walk
I walk alone
And live wisely

Take my hand
I'll tell you where to go
But shall you go with me
You will be my friend

As for this journey
I know my path
But not my destination
Life is short, after all

I wish for a zombie apocalypse
For if a zombie apocalypse were to be
I'd slash and I'd ****
All the undead by will
And then my rage would be free
I feel like fighting somebody smh.

I hold my breath
counting off
as laden eyelids fall prey
behind enemy lines
my psyche hides
complacent to
lend an ear
alert to the whisper
of biting truth
so subtle I barely feel it prickle
but it is there
waiting

I walk in the mornings
I go to random events
I sit by the window
I leave windows open
I play my music loud
I leave shades open
I go to parks and beaches
I do all of these things in hopes of being noticed
Maybe one day ill be seen
Maybe one day someone will talk to me
Maybe one day ill have someone special
Maybe one day ill feel complete
Maybe one day someone will come along and sit with me
Maybe one day I won’t be alone
Maybe one day I won’t be forever searching
is this a poem i have no clue but I hope someone likes it -.-

Here I Am

Here I am
A lonely poet
But a poet forever to be

As I wish and I wait
For a dream to escape
And possess a lover's embrace

To which I scoff
And shake my head
But hate for it not to come true

As well as I want
I'll script my heart out
And begin my journey anew

But writing I shall
And writing I will
For a poet I truly am

For I write and I weep
For the dreams I keep
Thus the new day began
