I drank a lot tonight
I feel trapped
I feel trapped
As trapped as I felt that one time locked in your room for hours

As locked as when you stood between me and the door
Did I say locked? I meant trapped

Is that a cop up ahead?

Remember the night I said "Come outside"?


If I died right now I would be free

And it would be so easy too.

They would find my car and do a toxicology report and find that I had drank but just how much?

Only enough to recognize all of this *******

This is only my first time? I must be a natural

A neat and tidy life she leads
Every day the same
To keep it all under tight wraps
is her only aim


In her mind she organizes
Replace, rotate, no compromises
Every thought and every word,
They're all arranged by sizes


Every thing has its' own place
That she's made just for it
Ideas go here, memories go there,
No mess will she permit


By each night her mind-desk is cleared
No stray documents are found
Until morning comes they lay in files
Waiting safe and sound


But sometimes something new will come
In a way quite efficiently
Better known as a fax,
but to her, a facsimile


Startled by the incoming message
She rushes to give it a home
- It does not fit with any files
Registers, databases, or others of the like,
She leaves it sitting on her desk
Where it sat overnight


Without a place of its' own
The message grew and grew
Without a spot to place it in,
She didn't know what to do


As it grew out of her control,
She watched with total awe
It overtook her entire world
All she did was withdraw

A bird flutters within my chest
She beats upon her cage
"Let me go!"

Fear & doubt manifest
A black cloud rolls over
The deep sea inside me


Then our eyes meet
A bell is rung
I awaken



Can this be real?



I reach out toward it
It's gone too quickly
A sensation I've longed for




Please don't let this end
A special poem

It is complex
It is warm


Take me back to that place
The special feeling where
It hurts to think

Where our hands move quickly and without regard
Suddenly
Before it's possible to tell

Take my hand
Lead me there

You are in control.



Yellow Space

It is rough
It is warm

Can't think here
But it's not the same

A primal being
Takes over
Impossible to think

I am in control.

Let me be your specimen
Keep me in a jar upon the shelf
***** me, poke me, **** me

Watch me through your microscope
I may twitch and squirm at first
I will twitch and squirm at first
But soon enough,
I will spread my wings

Your warm, glowing lamps will give me what I need
And I will grow
And I will grow
Into your prized possession

a swirling concoction of shock and regret mixed inside me as it happened

now, apathy and shame fills this void

opening a doorknob that falls out of the universe into a black abyss
and all that's there is me

they didn't teach me this in school. hell, they haven't taught me this in life

i appreciate it, but ice cream won't make me feel better this time around

if this is plan b, what was plan a?

writing on a piece of paper
my lines skew off of the page
in a multitude of directions,
i cannot reign them in

i wonder where my thought ends and the next begins
but there is no way to discern
if they end at all

one small dot
.
symbolizes a finite ending
there is no continuation,
only a definite termination

space for a new thought to begin
where the last one left off

a small piece of grammar
or a beacon of hope?
