I’m lost in this abstract world
People call concrete
But none of it seems to make sense to me.

The stars in my eyes are becoming black holes
Soon they will consume me whole and in my mind I cough up blood
The rivers of the stuff spell words like Mistake and Broken and Forgotten
I just can't stop
I've held it all back like a dam that's finally bursting Through
The seams like a shirt too Full and the buttons go flying like Bullets

I hurt those around me
Thorns are growing from the remaining skin and bone
Protecting me from human contact
I'm disappearing like a little houdini
fading from view like a vanishing point

Haha, learning to trust and not be deceived by others is an art form I haven't seemed to master.
And I might as well have accidentally amputated my arms in a washing machine that's way too big by trusting too easily
Now I'm damaged goods and I don't know how to hold someone's hand anymore
My scars are so blatant they're like red lights flashing
Reminding me that all I can do is Stop
And
Wait
For when my heart turns green

We light matches till sunrise
And drop acid on swingsets
Forgetting who we are
Till the cops come
And ask us for our IDs

I feel
Through the Earth
Transparent
Deep into the folds
of Space
Far below the Stars
Crowded by Dark Matter
No Light garnishes my sight

I look at the ***** mirror.
The mirror isn't the ***** one.

People who wear glasses
And aren't smart
Are called false advertisements

i sit on the bed
naked
eating spaghetti

You ask me to a write a poem
What words make the body

Da’ Vinci took my hands, Galileo my logic
Aristotle and Plato my mind
Gandhi and Theresa my heart
Others the ability to dream
The King Jr. compassion

Jews the capability to forgive
The oppressed the willingness to live
Darwin took my curiosity
Who handed it down to Einstein and Marie Curie

Others take some, many take none
But all the power of ambition
To strive to become
Human

Nature have you hidden yourself away my dear?
Shyly behind broken branches?
Unnoticed with these concrete sheets surrounding.
Come back.

If I ask kindly and dismiss the Eve of convenience and fun.
Will you come here?
Dawn of the past becoming one in the future we have begun.
TV obsolete in your beauty.

Nature, my Lilith, please take forgiveness?
Reclaim your throne.
Deliver Deliverance.
Come home?

There is a man with a TV head
And he is screaming
But no one can hear
Because he's on mute
