I love this Ink written contridiction
But I hate my expression conviction
What if rhyming wasn’t the only way to express myself
What if I could truely find the truest peace
Within pieces of heaven and hell
It’s phesable but death’s ringing to choose a side
I’m sinning to god’s bell

There’s an empty illusion, my mind cloaked in utter confusion and I
Tear
Myself
Apart
Interrupting my own thoughts with unfinished conclusion. My minds losing, sanity spewing,
I’ll lose
myself
in trees
I wish I didn’t tell you what I’m doin’ but my mind grips desperation and it’s not you I plan on fooling
This is one of my first poems. It’s its 1 year anniversary actually

Speak out about the wrong
They’re above so they’re right
We hold them high as they spit down on us
We’re only treasuring the abusive and calling the pure useless
Tear down the ones above
If you dare to say who’s ignorant

You have the wings of an angel
Burn them and throw away the halo
You're a sinner and a liar
No matter if you say so
Folie Nov 2018
Sane manic faceless disgrace with an eraseless mask to hide the panic thinking about my disgraceless past
I break down so fast
That my mind won’t last
I’m failing to recognize the peace that’s currently happening cause my pieces separate and realize there’s no happiness to be found
My family a ghost town, my friends make no sound, no lover to be queen to my crown
Maybe I’m too young being obscene, it’s profound
Probably jumping the gun to the trigger I found
Only an empty clip and a harlots heart
I guess that’s what I get for shooting in the dark
Folie Nov 2018
Torches, lighters, gasoline and fires.
Burn down the bridges and watch the flames get higher
Shut your mouth friend, that’s all from you I desire
The rest of our interactions  I only see as attire
Lonely the longer the conversation goes, you feel so distant
I just want want to remember how important you are
Remember our friendship

I drive all night
The only way I know how to fight
I drive all night
To search for light

I noticed a possum
I thought it was playing dead
Until blood blossomed
Like a flower out of its head
My vision flooded by red
My heart filled with dread
My mortal anxiety only grew
When I realized I have blood too

I hear the deer
They're busy snickering and bickering
While my emergency lights are flickering
They scatter in different directions
After possible danger detections
They are timid and meek
They hide in remote foothills
People see them as weak
Because their kind doesn't ****

I followed a mad rabbit
That made a bad habit
Out of always running
And digging holes
It thought it was cunning
And made of gold
Until a predatory eagle
Made it feel less regal

I witnessed a raccoon eating and called it a thief
The next day I saw it lying dead in the street
Did my erroneous blame
Lead to its execution?
That's part of the game
In this institution

Every step
Could mean death
Just by making noises
You're making choices
There are jaguars and elephants in some places
There are humans in others
Predators have different faces
They could be your brother

On this darkened road
I reach a sedentary mode
When I approach a herd of stray cattle
In my mind there is a reciprocal battle
I could ******* a saddle
I know where to prophetically lead them
But the path of least resistance is freedom
Is it really right to use disciplinary order
To keep them within a fenced border?

This road is a loop
That passes by farms of no fruit
Or vegetables for that matter
Yet we somehow get fatter
Society bloats while it starves
Because we refused to see the signs that were carved
So mothers start crying
And vultures start flying
Because everyone is dying
We're always making new recruits
To drive along this predatory loop
