(Ain't no god but he's dead )

||

Was there a god once now he's dead

Or was there never a god at all ?

//

If there wern't no god at all

There ain't no god to be dead

//

Ain't no godly men at all so I guess that means

God is dead

//

We worship money and not love

So I guess we could say. god is dead

//

Basically it is we who is dead

We who don't know god

So it don't  matter none anyway

••

Yeah

Yeah

It's we not god who is dead
I dreamed I dug a bullet
out of my own thigh.
I asked if I might bleed to death
and they said no
as long as I packed it with happy thoughts
and my mind went blank.
There was no pain, no cringing release,
grim rush to blank reality,
these legs are used to feeling.
I pressed a ***** palm to the ragged edges.
I feel better.
I can't even say          
                                                   ­                        you hurt me
with confidence.          

It feel like this so         
often I've begun          
to wonder if          
                                                    ­                         I do this to myself...

I want to cuss you         
out of my thoughts but         
                                                                ­            I only sink further
into them.          

So I'll pretend it's fine --           
I'm fine -- while          
                                                 ­                             I'm crying my eyes out,
because I don't even think         
                                                                ­             I can blame you.
Crying. Hating.
**** me.

Traveler
I await patiently for you
On this path of forgotten dreams
Surrounded by lost souls
And angels without wings

It pains me as your eyes turn back
All beliefs are anything but matter of fact
And if I fly away to that celestial shore
For you I'll wait forevermore...

Statue comes to life
Suddenly wings breaking free
Great blue heron flies
Help me, anyone...
I've got too much to lose.
I'm hanging on the edge,
of my own noose.
Do I like being this person?
Is this even new news?
I think I have lost who I once was,
I think I'm addicted to the blues.
I think I am so far off, what I should be
who I should be to you.
There's a monster in this story,
and well, it isn't you.
Can I be anyone else but me?
Today I am going to counseling.
A boring subject for a poem,
but thank you for allowing me,
to spill my guts here
it's kind of empowering.

At least here, the people who comment
are focused on my writing...
Which is really just a reflection of themselves,
but hey, I'm not fighting
it,
more like
inviting,
because any chance for you to put
yourselves in my shoes is alright, and
I miss the opportunities to connect
because I am doing the same thing.
Like being too busy trying to dial out,
while the phone is trying to ring.
Like living out in the open and always
complaining I'm not free.
That's just me.
But things still remain to be seen.

...I just hope I still write beautiful poetry.
.
or just rambling...
