Jack Jenkins May 2017
Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun.
And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.
So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living.
But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
Happy Birthday to me...

I am shaking uncontrollably
All these feelings aren't mine
I want to fade into sleep
Everything is so wrong
I'm a tormented soul
My cry is unheard
I'm deaf and blind
Mute and crippled
I say not my own words
For I have no words left
I am broken
Wounded
I am dead
I'm certain Rock Bottom's Basement has a sub-level...

From darkness to darkness
  My mind laments
    A deep stirring
  Within the fragile
Substance that I now am

Midnight air is what I dream
  Midnight colors fill
    My thoughts
  Provoke a dull flash
As I pass into a deep sleep
"Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person."

~Tennessee Williams

Scars trail into the abyss
as the world becomes undone//

Wanton slaughter and rampant
rage echo through the halls//

I am sorry for all I have done//

And all I have failed to do...
Jack Jenkins May 2017
a cool crisp airwave
deep exhale in the moonlight
darkness overtakes

You come into this world alone,
And you go out of this world alone.

There are some moments though,
When you don't feel so alone.

You make some friends in your lifetime,
They'll come and go.

When they're here,
you'll cherish them,
When they leave you,
You'll be heartbroken.

In those moments you'll truly know,
What it's like to be completely alone.

When it's your time to leave this world,
You'll be alone,
But it will not be as lonely as those moments.
