a ****** at her worst
i am opened raw
vulnerable and naked;
no wall

care for me delicately
before you toss me away
understand my flaws,
get to know me
but don't make me change

rock bottom; so it's as they say
i'm thrown a rope of thorns
to find my way

i hear a sound in the distance
it's a voice of reason; a chant of song
cheering me on

i may be mistaken
there ain't no choir for people like me
only a pocket full of prayers;
a head full of dreams

let me go
let me be
let me crawl
on ****** knee

a touch of fate grasps my arm for life
**** it, why fight?

you're watching me closely
aren't you?
(paranoia setting in)
what do you see so special about an angel soaked in sin?

standing on the ledge
below they are screaming JUMP
bare ***** and broken
i just look up

Make me your emblem
Adopt my colours
Let them be seen
Through actions and verse

Make me your flag
Fly me high upon the sturdiest masts
Watch me billow with purpose
Catching the wind that forever lasts

Make me your anthem
With truth in words that rings so clear
Sing me loud and true
Sing me always for all to hear

Make me your creed
Pledge yourself to always uphold
My name in thoughts and writes
Emblazoned across as your brand in gold

Make me your home
Your shelter for when the day's done
A safe haven to return to
With the setting of the sun

Or just...

Make me someone...*
Anyone...
So at least I know that I exist
Make me a simple somebody in your life
Not just a name on a forgotten list
Inspired by Depeche Mode's Somebody

we're all
not-yet-corpses
hobbling around
gravefooted
with one foot
inside the
inevitable gray beyond

entropy
has your number

never forget that
but wear it like a badge

make room for
dissolution
laugh yell sing
like the day is glass
break through

your tragedy
is not you -
it is yours

at all costs
consume
blueberry noon's
make torrid from bore's

say *******
to giving ****'s
grind a lot
swipe right tenderly
glitch slickly
purr for him
get your exorcism on
*** chill
like Michael J Fox
paint lust hot
rainbow swell watercolor
hold him
breathe
be

BE

you
are seen
water and color
beauty bled
sought for
boys will adore
tor of torpid
star of scar

you are not
your tragedy
they are yours
to have

so

see
your dreams
come
then -go-

gone

watch them leave
with style
lean against threshold
wave goodbye
eyes half-mast
look askance cool
as they ride off
get used to
one million and one sunsets
leaving you for good

till tomorrow

It's been a long time, can't tell since when.
It's been a long time, since I felt whole,
but I do feel it every now and then.
To pick up a pen and write down my soul.

To sing a mumble, this sad rumble.
Pretending I have a greater goal.
but under the truth of it, I crumble
and again, in weakness, I pay the toll.
Maybe next time it'll be a happier song.
Hold on to sanity
Understand the chaos
The core is stable
Ignore the peripheral fracas
Whirlwind of ideas
Guarded by faulty premises
Nurtured for long
(mis)guided travelers
Listen to the intent
Look beyond the edges
Cacophony of hearts
Drowns the sanity
Hold on little longer
Sanity will prevail
Face the chaos
Trespass the faulty boundaries

She makes perfection
feel like
it needs
to keep trying.
