I said Hi and she cried out.
I went to check if she was ok and
She shoved me away.
I wanted to help her get through
and all she could do was scream and shout,
"No! Get away! *******!"
I tried to understand and give her space.
I never understood her state..
her condition.
All I wanted was to help her through the storm but instead
I only made it worse.
I'm not a ****** and I'd never hurt any woman,
I just wanted to help, but instead I'm hated.
You say "#Yesallwomem" and I say
"#Notallmen".
Your innocence was stripped, and That's not cool.
I'm a man who listens and looks like a fool.
If I say something then I'm judgmental, If I say nothing then I'm a suspect.
I just want to help but instead I made you upset.
I'm sorry.

These pleasuring desires have unpleasant ends. *** with the wrong mate can be like second guessing a razor.. in the end you will just end up bleeding out with no one left but yourself in a bowl of regret. you will leak.. and loneliness will consume you. used and sulking in your own defeat and misery and filth.. you will be lost.. forever.

Humility. Defeat. Embarrassment. Loss. These are some of the hardest things in the world to 'Accept'. But once we have accepted our own self tortures and judgements.. we can move forward with becoming a grown human.. we can become something better.

Gypsy
With the weight on the world on your shoulders
Will you be the one to crawl?
The serpent writhing on the earth
The angel before the fall

Will the whisper of your greatest sins
Send shivers down your neck?
Will the kiss of death bite through your lips?
Will remembrance take your breath?

Do you crave the iron blades of truth
The wisp serenity
Did the sirens tempt your wicked heart
Will your penance be the fee?

With the weight of the world on your shoulders?
Your knees dragging the earth
Can you find yourself sinking in
When you're choking on your worth

"I am alone"

I repeat as I toss the last shovel of soil over the grave of my careless love.

Broken Hearts and Broken Souls... On this day It almost seems I've lost all hope... I have been struck down to my knees and now will not get up... My shield won't hold out for much longer for I fear my time has come to face this treacherous monster...
first
you ignore your medication
to feel healthy

then
you break hearts
to make yours mend

soon
you smoke your cigars
to breathe easy

but not until after
you empty your stomach
to feel full

before you know it
you're slitting your skin
to patch yourself up

eventually
you **** yourself
to feel alive

and
you smile
to hide the sadness
that never goes away

self-destruction
is the only non-destructive thing I know
for it keeps me alive
while driving me insane
