everything leaves a heady
sickly sweet
aftertaste in my mouth
like whatever i ate
didn't want to go down
lord
help me
breathe

Live and let live is what the world speaks without a
tongue,
Maybe that's why unsung hero's forever die
young....
                        "TAKE THE MAZE"

Life is so unpredictably seen if your looking though dark shades,
Because no light can penatrate the coming fourth of our days..
                        "TAKE THE MAZE"

When you live and learn with time your body grows with
thirst,
That's why I qwinch my dying mind with the waters of life
first....

I write everywhere
on paper, on stone, on skin
what's the difference?
Each one an be erased
desecrated, torn
nothing is forever
much less this shell
with words as its framework
curses and promises
in the hollow of its bones
what's the difference?

Heart's walls paneled with mirrors
everything is a mere reflection
ribs are splinters with serrated edges
a prison of blades, pain and anger and hate
mouth is a cavern of stars
emptied of illumination to see the lights
fingers are claws of the beast inside
always turned against its owner
mind is a labyrinth of fiends forming walls
against fragility, pierced and perceived
when did it get so complicated?

I just wanted to say I write everywhere
how did it come to this?
why would I want to write about that anyway
about paper and stone and skin
ink smeared with demons from inside
the body is hilariously breakable
words seep through skin as if it were paper
what's the difference?

What say you,
Cuz I don't know anymore....
I sit and go crazy the way you make my mind
explore....
What say you,
Can you explain yourself....
Like why are you so bad for me but good for
someonelse....
What say you,
Everyday I grow sober without your
touch....
Am I being paranoid or do I just need you that
much...
What say you,
Cuz I can't understand....
Me without you I feel less of a
man....

It's cold out here, I think I need to go
inside....
but I have nowhere to go, let alone run and
hide....
Honest to God the truth is, I don't want to run
away....
but the softness of your inner walls, always invite me to
stay....
It's you that makes me feel this way, Ms. Gentle
Eve....
I have no more use for air, cuz I can not
breathe....
So please let me come inside, I promise I won't neglect the
possibility....
and if you allow me to be free, I'll show you
tranquelity....

erika's coming back in two weeks.
ah, the prodigal sister
who promised me that she'd give anything to spend the summer
with me
her
bestfriend
me who's
been alone
all year already
and trying to be ok
but no, she has to stay at school during the summer
study with her voice professor
launch her career
i
*******
get it
but give her
one day
and she calls dad
says she's going to kentucky
for the summer
to have fun
on her own
...oh.

i really don't remember ever being that angry
or hurt
i remember throwing things
and kicking a chair
and my foot even bled
and i swore at dad
and sobbed
and it was ridiculous
but it was how my insides felt.

and now she is back
for two weeks
and then gone again
i'm looking for somewhere to be
for two weeks
anyone want to
adopt me
i need to talk to someone so i don't let this all bottle up and i just lose it again. but people are such ****.
