I hate overly yellow bananas
and cilantro in my salad
I hate fleecy sweaters
and pony tails that are too tight
I hate when I can't sleep because I drank too much coffee
and when nobody tells me goodnight

I hate when you promise the sky because you can
and when you don't care
I hate when you yell
and my eyes start to burn
I hate when you're never around
and that you never were
I hate that you try and control me
but know nothing about me
I hate that I have never been a priority
and I know that I never will...
A way to **** your soul?
Allow it to believe it is half of a whole.
Souls don't always belong to another;
not a father, a mother, a friend or a brother.

Some belong to silence.
Some belong to alliance.
Some **** greedily from the breast of violence.
Souls like money, souls like trades.
Souls like sunny, souls like rain.

Souls pull on everything that may heal you,
All while pushing away everything that may.
They keep your wants and needs away,
All while keeping your fears at bay.

Souls like ***, no matter the meaning;
Contiguity feeds the soul that is leaning.
Leaning into a vacuous space;
Pursuing nothing in an infinite chase.

No one is there, not a soul.
Nothing is there to fill the hole.
Dig and dig as deep as you crave;
But there was never a soul to save.
Your body is a minefield. Barbed and razor wire engulf me in each hug. Cut and torn and ****** I enter the war zone of past heartache, heartbreak, broken bones, and souls. Bodies lie scattered across the cracked dry ground, tears shed too late to save yourself from one more casualty. Sweat glistens off my ***** brow. My heart pounds within my chest as bombs go off around. With each thunderous roar and shaking of ground I force myself to run the distance of history itself. I fall. Crawl my way through muddy emotions to the epicenter of this full-raging battle. My blackened, *****, grief-torn nails reach, with one last dying breath, to touch your radiant soul.



*January 13, 2013
Filled, for no reason,
with hate and anger,
and the only way,
the only way to let it go is through
these ******* tears that keep
falling as though there is
nothing on this dammed Earth that
can stop them and you just keep
thinking this is stupid, you have
no reason to cry or be angry and
feel like your nothing because you
are something, you honest to god
have every right to exist even if
you don't agree with it right now so
how about you ignore yourself, just
let things go like these irregular
lines and **** like that, it really
doesn't matter all that much at least that's
what you should be telling yourself instead
of writing a **** poem which means nothing
to anyone else but yourself but I guess
in a sense that is poetry to some and to others
this is just a rant and they can say
'*******.'
Got stupidly emotional, wrote this and have no idea what to make of it. If you like it you like it if not ... oh well :D Cheers for reading it anyway.
