alien
this life that i live
for forever, i breathe
i need it to stop
i need some relief
the burden that is buried inside
it festers.  it seethes
in agony, i suffer
my mind not at ease
i'm restless and jaded
i'm in need of sleep
insomnia setting in
it's beginning to creep
with wide open eyes
a blank stare off into space
i feel like an ALIEN
stranded in a strange place
my thoughts are unclear
they're too real to go near
some only fragments
that just disappear
i'm stuck in this moment
my day has wasted away
like parts from the past
that blend with today
my thoughts continue to race
my focus fades
i'll disintegrate over time
as i slip away
18h · 22
slow strangle
as i slowly strangle
feet still on the floor
noose too tight to scream
but not to ignore
not destined to stay
or to live in this place
i need to get out
without leaving a trace
can't take much more of this
i don't feel like myself
i am seeking relief
escape from living in hell
to strangle so slowly
as the rope becomes loose
put a plastic bag over my head
so the failure is reduced
this is all taking too long
wish this was my last breath
it needs to end soon
i can't wait til i'm dead
another one written long ago

sometimes my mind
sometimes my mind takes me for a ride
out of control thoughts leave me troubled inside

i feel confined, i'm terrified!  i struggle to find a way to survive

been stuck here this way.  i got lost counting the days,
they all blend together.  remain stuck on replay

i still feel the same.  is it ever going to change?
i don't know why?  i am forever estranged

i'm tired of living life as a soul in despair
deprived of emotion and in need of repair

i just need a little longer.  find the strength to feel stronger
just a little more time, some more time to ponder

drowning clown
found dressed like a clown in a dark blue haze
when the fog rolls in, it drowns my parade

puddles collecting the rain, like thoughts that continue to race
am i losing my mind or am i just that insane

i'm frozen and cold, the clock stands still
i still can't decide how i should feel

i remain in the dark, the clock now spins like a wheel
with troubling thoughts, that i can not conceal

so never mind me, i can not believe
i've had too much of this, it's past time to leave
we can change the weather, if you want it to yourself
you're so cold and heartless, it already feels like hell

always screaming at me, from like you're up in a tree
is it any wonder why, that i am ready to leave

can you not see? this dark cloud, over me
it hangs around, when you put me down
you act like a goddess, treat me like a clown

starving for change. i hope that it rains
i pray it drowns out, your princess parade

you wasted my time, toyed with my mind
everything was yours. was something mine?

all that you say, means nothing today
oh, i didn't tell you, ya, i left yesterday
7d · 12
same way day
i hope that today, never goes away
i hope that today, doesn't go another way
i pray that today doesn't go the other way, like sideways

i just hope that today, goes somewhat my way

i hope that today goes, just the same way,
the same way that i am going to take,
so that way i won't have to change the way that i do take

can today just please go my way?
cause i'm going to be going that aways anyways

proud to be shit faced
Craig Strong Feb 11
i probably should just not be chewing with my mouth wide open
in public places and smiling at all the faces around,  with a s.hit eating grin

my secret kept in my suitcase that I keep all my s.hit in

just in case,  i get the feeling my not so secret life,  is a sin

feeling all confused and not knowing what to do.  i trade in my suitcase for a new pair of shoelaces

even tho they are soiled and stained,  i lace them up anyways and embrace the day

i hope it's just a day packed full of s.hit!  i'm drawn to it!

like a moth to a flame,  that you should have never f.ucking lit!

with wits,  that have the same worth as that s.hit.  another idiot is born

with dreams too tall.  he can't resist being buried neck deep in it

after all, nothing gets resolved when s.hitty thoughts get involved

it's so easy to feel lost when all you have are s.hitty thoughts

but why should you care?

to you,  those s.hitty thoughts just as well be like,  unanswered prayers

rejected and sent elsewhere

a place far from there,  but not anywhere near over here

but just down the road from everywhere

somewhere far from anywhere,  where there is a road to go somewhere else

somewhere like Elsewhere.  where else ya gonna go?

last time you didn't do a f.ucking thing!  you went nowhere?

and you got f.ucking lost?

lost without ever going anywhere?

lost nowhere?  you don't know where?  but you were there?

so you head on down the road wanting to go somewhere else,  for someplace to go

and now you're here.  here is where you are

at least you are here and it's somewhere to be.  better than being somewhere else

like lost,  not knowing if you were here,  there,  or why you were even somewhere else

your head starts to fuucking spin!  you can't remember if you were coming or going?  if you are here?  or way the f.uck over there?

but your stinking thinking starts in,  sinking in.  you're f.ucked!  you don't know if you are somewhere else or somewhere,  like Elsewhere

It was all too much of a trip.  will you ever be the same?

you can never go back!  because that s.hit leaves a stain!

never ending, piles for miles!  you're in it deep!  drowning in it!

sinking your teeth in,  even deeper than before

this time we can't ignore the stench of your breath

and somehow?  you are proud?  of the pile that surrounds

the smell it gives off,  is everywhere around.  people fold,  they fall

they even drop to the ground

with s.hit stuck in your teeth!  you seem to be so f.ucking proud?

leaving no one out!

so foul,  you must have s.hit yourself.  too overwhelmed today

getting way too carried away with way too many s.hitty thoughts

day after day after day.  but it's the price you pay

for all the days spent,  just  sitting in your own s.hit

pouting about the day it was that you pinched one off too late

and that was the day,  all that you could do to make it back to being okay,    was to absorb the aroma as it circled the drain

it's so f.ucking sad that it's a tragedy.  all that personality and it never had a name.

but it will be known around the world,  just how attached you were,  to the **** known as,

"the one that got away"

you let that one just slip on by.  let it go.  without any goodbye

left you feeling that that number two just didn't work out too well for you

you believe purpose is here and all around there.  it's very near

you're so close to it,  but don't think that we don't know,  that you are so full of it

hell, you got lost going nowhere?

i'll just stay right here and joke about it,  as your opportunity to fail every attempt at it

choking it down,  as the bottom falls out from beneath

your secret sin is not safe enough.  that s.hit eating grin has given you up

you walk around town with s.hit packed in your teeth

you sick fuck!  you're on your way down!

nothing to pick you up now.  you hope no one found you out

if they only knew how proud you are for chewing so loud

people would just turn around.  some would probably escape death
and survive underground,  to get away from your breath

so which half of that s.hit sandwich did you chomp down on?

all gone nothing left,  but something smells like death hanging around!

it's all over town!  stinks like holy hell!  Everyone is breathing upside down!

you can't help yourself.  from the rooftop,  you let go of yourself

from the top of your lungs you sing and you sing it out loud

a f.ucking disgrace with s.hit all over his face.  so tone it the f.uck down!

people all around town f.ucking hate you now!

why the f.uck are you so proud!?  you are such a f.ucking let down!

yet you're so f.ucking proud that you let everyone down?

chowing down,  chomping out loud,  not giving a f.uck who was around!


you up and just f.ucking let all that s.hit go

and now when you are out and about,  you go for a stroll

you tear it up,  til you get on a roll

you now strut your stuff.  you're beginning to boogie down

you just can't help yourself,  you flaunt yourself all around town

you walk f.ucking sideways on the f.uckin ceiling,  turning the town upside f.ucking down

moving in and out while you're out and about grooving around town

f.uck Ya!  you know it now!  to you,  it's as clear as the air

your s.hit don't stink

and you're doing it all with a square peg round f.ucking hole attitude

boasting about how it sounds to be so experienced

you can now say you found a new way to take a bite out of life

screaming into the f.ucking microphone with your lungs topped out!

singing to the whole **** world.  and you ain't done singing til you spit your f.ucking lungs out!

we know, you're letting us all know,  that the world is the stage and you're the mother f.uckin show

you tore into that s.hit,  just to f.ucking tear it up!

to let all the world know,  that you're down with that s.hit.  you know all about it

cause remember when there was a time when s.hit tastes like s.hit

you can now live your life with all of your dreams

that are too close to be seen?  slightly out of reach!

but they're right f.ucking here!  dreams as big as big can be!

just over the horizon.  waiting for me!

while i wonder why?  i'm chasing down,  my own f.ucking dream!  that flees from me?

now that's some f.ucked up ****!  how can this be?

what the f.uck is happening?  this isn't my dream!

wake me the f.uck up!  this is too f.ucked up!

i can't take this anymore!  this nightmare has no door?


i just s.hit myself again,  with no one around to smell my secret sin

no one to tell

you're allowed to keep your secret to yourself,  but you're so full of s.hit no one wants you around!

nobody wants to help you!  they want no part of you,  it,  or any of your s.hit!

you're a sick f.uck!  you can't even smell it!

so save yourself,  your f.ucking self!

and do it all alone,  with no one else,  without other people around


you and your stench,  all by yourself.  at last

alone and attached and never looking back

you want it now more than ever!  you can't help yourself!

to have this moment,  together but alone

it's time to break wind!  let the stink sink in!

take the deepest breath ever!  hold it in for forever!

absorb it in!  deep down within!

you know it now,  you're in love with your secret sin

you begin to find your place again.  stinking the whole place up!  where the f.uck have you been?

go,  get lost!  go look for the reason.  the reason you're so driven

Why, wonder why you're so drawn to find a meaning that is hidden, or a reason why the meaning is lost

you've spent a lifetime.  it goes on and on and on.  with an appetite so strong

it's been a long time,  since lunchtime.  you feel the hunger growing inside

s.hit tastes better sometimes.  so choke it all down,  take it as prescribed

you may be surprised with it all over your face.  you disgusting disgrace!

how can you live with yourself?  yet,  seem so amazed?

with the aftertaste that you now crave

so savor the flavor.  pack your cheeks full of that s.hit

go ahead,  get on with it!    embrace your newly acquired taste for s.hit?

because the moment you bit.  you just couldn't quit

you chewed forever.  it changed you forever

never again,  will your disgusting secret sin ever begin to be a taste
that anyone else would ever crave

more like,  never crave the taste of someone else's waste


you're losing yourself.  lost in the odor

it's only here for a short time! and doesn't have much hang time!

your heart is now racing!  you believe,  now is the time!

that it all begins!  you know that feeling!

it triggers your mood to a s.hitty attitude,  to get s.hit faced again!

you know it now.  it's the taste of your secret sin

out comes an overly eager smile!  it peeks out from within!

and when all hell breaks loose.  the s.hit show begins!
that this f.ucked up,  s.hit faced mother f.ucker is at it again!

always in over his head whenever he wears that s.hit eating grin

now that you have found me,  i feel so tragically sad
and I want to make you feel just as f.ucking bad

so,  f.uck off!    go flush your s.hitty thoughts

don't forget to wipe and stop craving it.  don't let it consume you

for f.ucks sake!  stop consuming s.hit!

stop your s.hit faced ways!

forget about secret sins.  s.hit eating grins

just stop it all!  before s.hit faced even begins

take a s
hit, and don't be so loud.  do it without the slightest sound

alone,  away from any public place.  stay out of the crowds

never open your suitcase!

don't be so f.ucking proud when you shovel s.hit into your mouth

close that f.ucking briefcase!  do it right the f.uck now!

this isn't the place to showcase the sick display that you embrace
just to go someplace wearing it smeared all over your face

you are a f.ucking disgusting disgrace!

just s.hit without obsessing about s.hit

just get it over with,  and move on along

let it be known that everyone who hates you,  they all want you gone!

to stay the f_uck away!

so,  so long,  get gone already!  and I'll be right here

hoping to hell that you're on your way to having a s.hitty f.ucking day
Ya, no clue on this one. Just freestyle, i suppose?

Craig Strong Feb 10
do you know what is really cool about me being so stupid,

i can turn it off, whenever i don't even want to
it's all attitude, an attitude so stupid that is just too cool to not be so stupid

private conversation?
Craig Strong Feb 10
today i do not feel the need to wear my bluetooth in my ear,
when talking to myself in public is all that i really want to hear
Craig Strong Feb 9
when the sunshine gets lost
and i'm all alone
time is forever and still
remnants of the sane
remain discarded and gone
it's cold here and souls divide
only to remain vacant and up for sale...
This was a single thought that I had happen to capture one day.  
After years I brought it back just to see how people react

i am with stupid?
Craig Strong Feb 8
hey stupid, what you doing?

not much, just hanging out being stupid

well you do a good job at it, cause you do look really stupid,
just standing there, all stupid like

so stupid looking that you must be the poster child for stupidity

it's so stupid that i am even here talking with you

remove that stupid look on your stupid face, make it disappear because you are so ******* stupid looking looking into that ******* mirror
Craig Strong Feb 8
hey, could you come over here and help me please.

i kinda got too high

my reflection didn't believe me, that i could walk sideways on the ceiling

his ******* ego just won't let go

so to prove I could, i take one more hit if ****

just one more step

**** ya!  i'm doing it!?

how about it, don't know how i did it?

shouldn't have never ******* done this!

now, i'm dealing with something that's unappealing to me

what the **** am i feeling?  i'm ******* sideways on the ceiling!

i shouldn't have taken that last hit. now, i can't get down!

for ***** sake!  will i ever comedown?

i do know about gravity?

it was a gift that was created in Einstein's mind, just thinking **** up all the time.

invented by a human, that happened to come around and found out, that before his invention,

people were having trouble, not falling down


the Thought tells the voice, what he's thinking about

then the voice will get in touch with his guy,

to reach out to my guy

to have my guy tell me, to think about it


so, i think about what the Thought really thinks about all day

the Thought, must think a lot, cause the voices talk a ******* lot,

while silence listen in, my head begins to spin
i think gravity is my only way to win.

i desperately need to comedown!

but nobody ever came around, to show me how to use gravity

just thought i'd let you know that, you now know that?

i know, i'm kinda confused and my confusion is hard to understand

i'll ******* yell like hell, but say something else?

if you are confused because i am confusing to you,

and I'm now confused about confusing you,

you're confused too? that's too much! we're cluster ******!

now, that's just straight up, whatever the ****
i'll never understand it sorta ******

i don't get it?  Confusion?  there's nothing confusing about that

maybe Nobody is confused?

and all of his bottled up confusion eruption episodes, gets Nobody aroused

******* bowel arousal?

i'll **** myself, if i scream out loud,

Nobody's around and every other Somebody that i have found has passed me by, i haven't come down, yet.  still, stuck on the ceiling,

will i ever find a clever way to hang around here, instead of never coming down

i pray out loud, i shout a foreign language out of my mouth,

i doubt if i'll get used to the sound of what am saying

i can't understand why confusion surrounds, everything is now confusing and I am confused about anything that can confuse

how about that i refuse to let you use that candle,

to light my fuse,

because there is no light inside of me?

what i can't handle, i ******* dismantle

i blew a ******* fuse!  lights out!

Nobody's around, Nobody is here to help?

i light my candle to keep myself company

i use it to light the way, when i step outside to see

to see only me?

but it's good that Nobody is here to watch?

No One ain't around no more?

when Nobody is not here, then I don't really know me

and when I'm not myself, i use myself and introduce myself to myself

it gets strange here when i'm a stranger that is in danger of not having myself as a friend to help me and myself

now i am alone, even though Nobody is here?

just to not appear?

does he disengage?  can he tame his rage?

whenever it gets strange here, Nobody disappeared after lighting my fuse

so i don't know who the **** to accuse

****, now i'm all kinds of confused

it's a confusing feeling to have with so much confusion around

confusion has shortened my fuse!

and Nobody is nowhere and now here to bring the news?

I guess maybe I do lose

stranger things have happened when somebody doesn't know who they get to choose to be when they don't feel like themselves,

leaves ya kind feeling like Nobody does?

Does nobody feel themself?

about to ******* lose it,

getting lost, all confused, and ready to ******* blow,

candle burned out, turned around and upside down,

spinning in circles, it's too much!

i start to dismantle, losing my grip because of my loose as **** handle,

it's falling the *******, it's too much to handle!

makes life unbearably

now you have gotten me even more confused,

i swear, i'm losing my grip, on this loose as **** handle,

but what confuses me the most is, wondering why the ****,

you are wearing ******* socks with your sandals
This is so ******* disconnected
Craig Strong Feb 8
mindless I ride in the saddle of my shadow
i mock and mimic my every move
when i cut it up, we bust it loose
when we're getting the groove on, i never lose

the choice, to forget to know
whichever way we choose not to go
whenever i'm playing a lame game
of duck, duck,  whose the goose?

we are never left alone, when i start to bust it loose
as we tune to the zone, i call in all the troops
confused, not knowing what to do
they tuck their tails, and show their caboose

everyone ran like hell, gave up for no reason
oh how they've failed, isn't that treason?
they're ******* scared, they don't like your tone
so just let them all be, ******* leave them alone

now truly lone?
where to?
where do we go?
i just can't decide

we can get lost in the dark, so i'll run there to hide
you watch my back, i'll distract my mind??
soon to be over, i run from the light
as i disappear, we set sail into the night
I got nothing on this one

i won't bite you
but when i do
i will take my time
until i am through

i won't chew
just a nibble will do
did i mention, i will take my time
i just simply love the taste of you

i will take my time with you
nibble on you until i am through
i'll sink my teeth in slowly
when all that i want is just a little dose of you
Feb 8 · 38
just too ignorant
Craig Strong Feb 8
stay the **** away from me today

you radiate so much hate

you emit too much *******

just too ******* ignorant to get it

we all want nothing to do with you, so stay the **** away today

go flush your ****** mood and your ugly ******* attitude

stay the **** away, you are just more bad ******* news

just go away, because today we want nothing to ******* do with you
Not at all angry when written. Now I am so happy that this is finished. So much frickin happiness it must be time to create something so beautifully tragic that you'll laugh so hard that you will simply go mad

far from feeling fine
Craig Strong Feb 6
can we pretend, at least for now, that i am fine?
as strange as it is here, i find comfort in despair
time gets lost, as forever feels like yesterday
alone inside my head, my thoughts become useless
i close my eyes and drift silently into the void
disturbed by the noise here, i try to remain sane
absent of emotions, with an undecided mind
i struggle to locate, the frequency of reality,  in which to believe
i remain hollow, left feeling empty inside
why am i even here? am i even alive?
this memory won't fade, it won't go away!
it's too familiar to me, i'm far from okay!
my world is out of focus, it's so far out of reach
will i ever calm down? it's getting too hard to breathe!
i live in a nightmare, with no closure or rest!
paranoia follows me around, like some kind of pest!
when panic knocks at the door, it's time to hide
stuck in this moment, frozen in time
this is all getting too real!  this feeling is all mine
remember before?
let's just pretend, that i'm fine?
This one is out of the second chapter. I had lots of clean and sober fun writing about not so clean and sober days. Actually pretty nerve racking writing about a feeling that you are no longer experiencing, but it feels so good when finished.

crazy happy place
Craig Strong Feb 5
i need to escape to my happy place, my happy place puts a smile on my face, i erase reality because i like how it taste

it is a little crazy here at my happy place, kind of makes it
a crazy happy place

a place that i can play pretend, a space to have fun in, fun is never done,
it seems it never ends

a carnival ride that is inside of my mind, i have such a great time,
the time of my life, when i nevermind

but i get the spins and it makes me sick, i can't get out of it

did i mention that i am sick as ****

it's beginning to taste like i am green in the face

****, i need to escape the aftertaste of my crazy happy ****** up place
this mindless vegetable has finally broken

living or dying
how do you know?

living is dying
when you can't let go

how do you know
when to let go
when living and dying
is just the way that it goes

how will you ever really know
if you are living or dying

when will you know when to let go?

through with you
Craig Strong Feb 4
i'm torn between
on what to do
but i do know that
i am through with you
this feeling that i feel
it's hard to subdue
why can't you bleed
in a different hue?
you're in my way
why won't you move?
i've grown so tired
and there is no excuse
i've gone away
before you withdrew
i left long ago
i thought that you knew
so i just do as i do
with you still in the room
i try to do it alone
because you just won't move
Written years ago, but edited with today's attitude

IDK, i tried to call
Craig Strong Feb 4
i'm so confused
is it me?
or do you think it is you?
i don't know what to do
i just kinda wanna talk to you

are you building walls?
just don't want to talk at all?
are you starting to fall?
IDK, i tried to call

do you want to be just friends?
or someone to be there until the end?
do you need more time to mend?
cause i don't know what you intend

you said that you wouldn't disappear
are you scared, are you full of fear?
your voice is all that i want to hear
why won't you just reappear?

i ask will you tear down that wall
my ****** up head, says it's all my fault
i just want to talk that's all
please will you just give me a call
I walked around all day with my head in my *** just trying to think of the right thing to say

even my shadow is sad
Craig Strong Feb 4
when i am so far down
that my troubles are blue
no lower to sink
i'm just as troubled as you

as i look all around
i soak up the rays
you stand right behind me
right there you stay

i hurt on the inside
you have got none
flat on the pavement
having no fun

i'm just the figure that cast
you are left beside
so dismal we feel
distressed and combined

we're faulty and  fragile
to troubled to guide
we move to the darkness
so contrast can hide

just because i hurt
does not mean that you deserve
feeling no worth
just to exist and to observe
This is my first complete poem ever 20 years ago.

this one is deep as **** on sadness

tangible spirit
Craig Strong Feb 4
an inverted soul

one you can touch

but out of control

forever is bent

and ever so cold

time stands still

as the spirit grows old

a moment now gone

it's been declined

left everything empty

feeling hollow inside

a soul in despair

forever confined

this thing is ******

it's time to hide

be aware of it's anger

all bite with no bark

this thing is real

it's leaving its mark

that is what you did to me

night things

in the middle of the afternoon
i'm lost in a wunderlust
i must be dreaming about you
don't wake me up
i won't know what to do
asleep in your arms
while i chase after you
am i even asleep?

i am so ******* confused?

all that you do?
Craig Strong Feb 2
lucky you, how do you do all that you do and do it all with an untied shoe

what are you?  i'm all confused?

are you about to come unglued?

for you to do all that you do and to do it all exactly on cue

like a statue that was born without ever a clue of what really to do

waiting for a passerby to pass on by to bring you back to life by lighting your fuse

so that you will have even more of nothing to do
Craig Strong Feb 1
i'm feeling way too great, loving living with this aching headache,

ouch, that smarts, that's gonna leave a mark

and seeing all those stars it seems it's just the start

having the time of my life

just chasing after my own parked car
last line written first on this one, yep wrote it from the bottom up, just goes to really show that i haven't a ******* clue what the hell that i don't know what i am not even really never doing.

the tip of it

,and that is just the tip of it.
first she whispers in his ear,
now,  "i want it all',  is all that i hear.

i give a shit?
Craig Strong Jan 30
know i'm the kind of person that wears their heart on their sleeve

unfortunately for you my coat is in the other room

waiting there just not to care

want to see what i store in my underwear?
the only question here is whether i give you that ****?

life is peachy?
Craig Strong Jan 29
life is like biting into the ripest peach, only to later realize

that once you bit, you should have just quit

how does it taste?  to be chewing dog ****
moved on, got with it.  I just quit chewing on life's dog ****

way tooo great
Craig Strong Jan 29
hey will you come over here
and kick me in the face,  why

well,  because i am having
way too great of a ******* day
just had a good day, that is all
Jan 29 · 44
gets harder every day
Craig Strong Jan 29
i'd trade today for just one more yesterday

i miss when things were simpler. we had no worries at all
i haven't felt that way in forever, but i try my best to stand tall

living in this world gets harder everyday

i need to remind myself to breathe
i need some light to rid me of this darkness
i need a new horizon, some reason to believe

i wish I could turn back the time to remember what this life has meant to me

how has it gotten this way?

why am I left feeling this way?

i miss when things were together. instead of falling apart

searching for some piece of mind. trying to heal this broken heart

absorbing this moment. i hold on a little longer

remembering all the struggles that had made me stronger

i am not losing hope in this life, i'm just trying to find reason

i just need to feel alive, know there's something left inside

i need to hold my head up high, remind myself again how hard that i tried

now, all that i know is i should be taking this slow, forgetting it all,
and letting **** go

start in loving myself. let myself show

cause when i fall this far apart, i no longer glow
when I read this, I want to write songs.
Jan 29 · 39
don't know what it is?
Craig Strong Jan 29
i wasn't there yesterday

i didn't get to see the way your eyes smile,  when you smile at me

you weren't here today, and for some reason, i still feel the same

what happens tomorrow?

will we coexist?

i don't know what this is,  but i think you were missed?
love?

not enough of a
Craig Strong Jan 29
maybe i'm too smart to function in this world,
or i am just too stupid to get with it.    I don't know?

all i know is that i don't fit

there is not enough space for me to fit in your place,
the shoe that you gave to me, does not fit my face

it's not long enough

or ****** up enough

it is not enough of a disgrace

for you to continue to taste
i haven't a care at all that i am not good enough for you.

new year's fear
Craig Strong Jan 29
look at me go,  into a new year

i plan on taking it slow

so slow,  that you would never ever know,  even if I told you so?

now,  i'm just letting you know that,  you now know that?

so that,  it will be known that,
i might just stay right here,  to ring in the new year

because it's perfectly clear,  that if,  right here i stay,
everything else,  will remain just plain ok

because for some other reason,
i still think that tomorrow,  is still coming today

drowning in a present,  of a past i can't change,
i have hope that next year does not bring along the same

the next,  it's unknown,  that's why I take it soooo slow,
last year brought on the fear,  and it really has shown

but i'm not really scared of letting it go,
just hoping that last year,  will leave me alone

i am no longer afraid,  of change or no change
and whatever happens,  i'll try not to complain

so prepare for next year,  stay somewhat the same,
just be yourself,  but do continue to change
My life was a complete blur last year. felt like 100 in a 55

i'm the mistake?
Craig Strong Jan 29
you said i'd never make it
said i would make a mistake
but now i'm right where i belong
embracing the feeling of being misplaced

you said i'd never make it
said i would fall on my face
but now i'm right where i belong
replacing the feeling of feeling disgraced

even told me i couldn't face it
told me that i was the mistake
but now i'm right where I belong
proving you wrong and it's more than you can take
no one to blame,  got nothing left to say
so how does it feel,  to know your tongue has been erased
I just got tired of people around trying to beat me down

a billion walls
Craig Strong Jan 29
well, i'm all done with yesterday, now i got nothing to do for the day

maybe i'll build me a wall today

gonna build me a billion walls or more

build a wall without any windows

i can do it again, i've built a wall before

next door gonna build me a few hundred million walls or more

i build walls with my building wall skills that i'm so thrilled about the hole that i had just drilled

i build walls that they don't even pay me for, so i just keep building them, i don't even keep score

i'll build this wall, for whatever for,

then build that wall after i'm done with chores

cut the cord, cause i'm gonna build a wall too tall to ignore

so stick around, see what's in store, we got one we built in 1474

i'm gonna build a single wall to contain a quarter horse

the other three weren't paid for
there for show, they'll just be on display, there to adore

gonna build a wall with out doors that ways outdoors
has to stay outdoors

breaking my ball, building all of these walls, i feel it in my core,
***** to the wall, i do it *******

i do it until i am sore and worn

i just build all of these walls until i can't anymore
I love the confidence and drive that this burnout has. Also very deep about shutting out the World.

best day evers!
Craig Strong Jan 29
i guess ya go with the flow when you have had three best day evers, all in a row?

ya know, one of those days when all of your ducks are all lined up, but so dislocated and far from being like some sorta day in any sort of a row

but that's ok tho, cause when you're feeling like a paper airplane that's headed towards that open window

nobody knows just how many days that you'll go having way too many more best days ever, all lined up and finally in a row

i guess anything and everything is possible when you're sporting a square peg round hole attitude, just making no thing and nothing seem so simply impossible, i suppose?

so there you go, and it goes to really show that, that is that, just me, the day and that there wide open window
Just feeling carefree, so free as not to care about everyone's ****** moods and ugly attitudes.   so subscribe to "best day evers", and you'll never lose

somewhere is here?
Craig Strong Jan 29
I swear that I gotta get out here, go somewhere, anywhere, but I got nowhere to go. Everywhere those roads go, that I don't know, they got to lead somewhere, anywhere, but here. Don't go there, there is where everything has already happened. Been there. Nowhere is such a lonely place, I feel hopeless. It's unreal that you came to see me. Unlikely as it may be. But I'm certainly sad, that you had found me
Full-bore, pedal to the ******* floor, speeding right the **** past the road that nowhere goes. Is a road, It goes straight the **** to anywhere, anywhere you want, to end up somewhere that's not here or there, it will even lead you to everywhere, even to somewhere where you feel you belong. Not a place like nowhere, that feels totally wrong, if ya want to go everywhere, that too many places to go, it will just string you along. Or else If you just want some space, to get away, elsewhere is a good place. If you're in elsewhere, get out, get a map, find somewhere else besides elsewhere to go, or else where you go you will just be somewhere else, and still looking for somewhere to go. So follow your map, don't fall for the trap, cause elsewhere don't care that you live in despair and now you lost, seeking anywhere and everywhere to go, but the road to nowhere is the only way, to find some road somewhere, to go somewhere, or else ya gonna be back in elsewhere or just somewhere else, Now in total despair, to someone's else it may not be that unfair, but you got lost yourself and no one else ******* cares.
Somewhere is near here, but it's also close to nowhere. Here is not where you want to be, it feels like nowhere. Somewhere is where it's at. At least you're somewhere. But over there, where here used to be, but where is it, It's s not here, or even over there. It could be anywhere, I've looked ******* everywhere but nowhere to be found. It could be near enough, It could even be here, there or anywhere. It's got to be somewhere, but it's nowhere to be. So where do we go from here. Cause somewhere is out there somewhere, but those roads lead you to somewhere else. Now you just feel your stuck here but it's all good, it's ok, it's just ******* alright you never had to leave, because at least you're here, and here has always been somewhere to be, you're always somewhere, like right here, so why not enjoy just being here, here is so near, you're already there, Somewhere, where you belong, because If you not here somewhere, then you are just on you way to somewhere else, Looking somewhere else for somewhere to be.
Freestyle and word play all the way,

Just be happy where you are, because here is where you are, here is a place, it is a place that gives you somewhere to be

goodbye
Craig Strong Jan 28
i know you said don't cry
we are unable to see the light
but I can see the sun
setting in your eyes
i know you're shining on
even in the dark of night
but now I realize
it's time to say goodbye
I wrote this about my nephew who was murdered on the fourth of July 2024

sun in my sky
Craig Strong Jan 28
why am i alive?
we live for reasons why?
i know i'm gonna die
not gonna say goodbye
lots of hope left inside
it keeps the sun up in my sky
so that my spirit can survive
i commence to take flight
start in loving life
begin loving myself
my love keeps myself alive
because living a life
without any love
is far from being anything right
Starts with the most primitive question of all time.  Actually, most of the time that i write, i haven't a clue what my next line or thought will be

shiny shit
Craig Strong Jan 28
i hope that it is something shiny
i love shiny ****
if it's shiny, i'm on it

a fool
forever drawn to it,
like a moth to a flame that you should have never ******* lit

i'm an idiot
like treasure on a sinking ship
i should have learned to swim cause i'm diving in after it

yep, i am a foolish idiot
and i do admit that i haven't a care that i already know that it's counterfeit
our addictive personalities are toxic to us.

half a brain
Craig Strong Jan 27
if i only had half a brain,  then i would only need half a brain

somehow i know that?

but how could it be known that,  a half brain can think

yet remain incomplete

but to be smart enough,  to know its own needs

to need a whole half of a brain,  to be complete

now that's just incompletely sane?

i still know who i am,  but i don't feel the same
luckily the half my hand is holding,  is the container for my name

on a quest to search for the rest.  all by itself,  it tries its best

but to be just half a brain,  that tries to obtain,
its other self,  is just too hard to explain
First one of the new chapter. I had a shift in content I will be writing about for at least the near future

feels so good?
Craig Strong Jan 26
i'm doing good, but i am so ******* bored

i'm doing so good that i'm feeling like i'm needing to ****
up my life some,  just so that i am not doing so good

that would make me feel so good,

then i wouldn't be so bored because i'd be doing something that feels so ******* good
life has been going good for awhile, plan on racking up the miles.
