Incremental institution embedded brain damage,
pulsating vibrations bare feet underground.
Plant trees under sky, cover dirt with bandage,
rain falls interlocking, read loop play twice.
Incidental retribution, invested gain vantage,
human binary freedom inconclusive, denied.
Structure belief genome disadvantage,
artificial omni-sentient intelligent life.
The truth you seek is out there
but first you all must die.

2020
Composed society a system complex rotten and deformed.
Unfettered anger frustration and anguish festering the storm.
Putrid blisters of vile memories, sobriety castrates the scorn.
Impostor hypocrites who pose as friends devour each victim's form.
Again, again I plunge my pen this cauldron of memories mourned.
Unspoken I vent forthright enigmatic in dreams I am reborn.
Unbroken, unbent, unwavering, dramatic,
I drag along the garden thorn.

I'm listening along
it feels like I'm there
can I go back

it feels like it's pouring outside
far away
it might

waiting for the end
I see you there
somewhere downstairs

I missed you for a second
I remember the pain
I think I'll be okay

if I never see you again
where do lost books go
you made me lose it all

where do lost souls go
I can't feeling anything anymore

I'm waiting for a day
I can find my heart again
how does time fall

last year
time hugged you like a blanket

how does a smile fall

your spirit was so bright

I would've chased after voice
if I knew you'd lose it

I would've given you my bones
if I'd known you'd lose your strength

your heart so heavy
all the love it carried

you will be missed
collect all the tears
today everyone will cry

you will be missed
rest well

let's meet someday again
It will be hard to miss you

now you're resting
six feet underground

I'm wondering who will water the plants you left
I wonder who will care for the strays
no one has your compassion
your love and patience

is it harder to not cry
or sob for a dead loved one

I'll miss you
too much for my own good

every day won't be the same
I just want to be with you again
where do I go
slipping away

have I slept this way
so many days
I've gone insane

I'm waking up again
this doesn't feel right
walking out
how big is this cage

I'm chained
prisoner to my head

I can't escape
no one sees me anymore

invisible
I can feel the darkness spreading

I recognize this darkness
unforgettable

it covers me
in my sleep

I never see it coming
have I reached the bottom
