They always asked,
"how do you stay so
calm through all this mess?"
and i close my eyes and shake
my head because there's storms
raging in my veins,
but i keep my calm
and bleed it out in poetry.

Himself a machine,
Like a cool train
Like a moving rollercoaster
Like a ravaging mechanical animal

Iron oil and rust,
Pulsating boiling blood
Bursting brilliantly.

How is it I can have 219 contacts in my phone, and none of them are friends or family?
Unhampered velocity, flow of continuity

Selected autonomy, explore your philosophy

Treaded geography, to grasp empathically

Of no ambiguity, to reason amicably

Of no accord, nonsensical

The freedom just to be



Desire ambitiously, of difference unusually

Give access academically, promotions periodically

Acts of kind sporadically, improvise remarkably

Caring sentimentally, peacefulness tranquillity

Of one accord intentional

The freedom to be me

My hands they glitter white
They haven't touched sunlight
within the week

My skin's surface is tight
The blood does not feel right--
am I a freak?

In colors bold and bright
My pale shell could ignite...
what do I seek?

To feel free flying fright
Unleash the silver night
And hear Her speak.

You're deep in thought
As I look your way
Awaiting your glance
To lead you astray
I caught your attention
Like I usually do
There's the smile I sought
I give you mine, too

Dreamer
I lay in this place
The devil keeps me here
You don't know what he whispers

Hatred
Envy
Grief
Fear

The devil peddles used wares

Steal it
Hate it
Miss it
Create it

The devil and I lay in bed
Destroying every dream you ever had

Now you know
About heaven and hell
Did you ever wonder
Who tips the scale

There is no escape from
Everything you saw
It is too late now
You shouldn't speak at all

Go to hell
Go to hell
I'll see you there.
