So many parties, brands we wear ,
Stress to impress, keep up with their pace.
Networking or Socialising they say,
Deep down even we don’t know
Is that we simply feed our ego.

What is therapy
but in a sterile box.

Think about it for a sec..

Crashing on inside
and laughing on the out.

I can hear their voices
from the motionless chair.
A complete stranger
with a blanket stare.

I begin to sink farther
into the couch,
It's a lonely feeling
without a doubt

Anxiety, Bipolar, and Depression
is what they say.
The minutes on the clock
are so far away

Why do I just sit there and stare
and ramble on like
the therapist cares.
Maybe it helps then
Maybe it doesn't.
My hour is up
Now pay the deposit!!

Here we are living in the land of the free,
Divided by contemplation,
Rooted in disinformation
and told what to do by polticians
that thrive in confusion and disassociation

This isn't the land of the free,
it has become the land of corruption,
deception, and disease
Suicides on the rise as well as
crime on the streets.

And don't forget to pay your taxes please!!

What happened to the red, white,
and blue
I don't recognize it anymore,
it feels more like a bruise
When I turn on the TV,
they are just lying on the news.

From the concrete jungles to the
small town slang
When you turn around it is just
bang, bang, bang
Death on every street corner,
Its all the same ole same

What a big effing shame!!!

Oh, you didn't pay your taxes, now you are locked up in chains

Battered, shattered, torched and burned, the lessons from our history
we never did learn.
Look up the flagpole,
the flags' in distress.
Look at each other,
we created this mess

You say
You feel
Dizzy when you
Kiss me. So do
I

Is it the slow dance
Of dopamine
Digging grooves between
Our bodies? Or
Is it the
Intoxication
Of desire
We’re drunk on? Is there
A difference?

You try
Try to
Decipher the
Way I look at
You

Do you see it?
This is hunger.
This is wanting
Taking shape.
Anything more
Definitive
And you will scare
The birds off.

I thank god
That you cannot see
The desperation
Beating beneath me

Because I love
To burn slow
But you, dipped
In Sun, Blessed
By God, looked
So sweet beneath
Changing skies
I couldn’t
Help but tilt
Towards your beams

Now tangled in
Your taste, I try
To decipher
What lies beneath
Desire.
I keep editing this and playing with the meter. Feedback is welcome

i need a hug,
not a false side one.
a really long one.
one in which i just disappear from the world.

nothing else will matter.
not the fact that me and you
have both moved on and found someone new.
i need one so tight
that i can feel my bones being crushed and pressured
until they s h a t t e r .

until
i
see
nothing
but
a
black
screen.

because all of what i've seen
is pain and hurt.
people fall and are pushed to
instantly get back up and brush off the dirt.

let's hug.
until
we
both
disappear.
There was a garden of un-thorned red roses
protected by un-imaginable silvery- pink cages
fenced behind the stony stretched
rib-like walls
they said fumigation on roots and petals are necessary

but he took my hands and handed me a lit-ciggerate..

They took
My God away from me.

Told me
I won’t be loved by You.

Your believers
Killed and I was
To worship blood
Instead.

Sink in all the
Shame inside, and
Take it as a
Lesson earned.
