I exchange one vice for another
Skin for Skin
Or pixelated emulation
I seem to only care for the end effect

Am I the only one who dislikes this?

I listen to music
I talk to other men
And I consider what I'm doing to be some sort of sin
No one else seems on my side.
So here I lay
Struggling in silence

Disappointed in self

And what's worse is I'd drag others down with me
If she'd let me.
And no one I've met is able to pull me out of a whole
Have I just kept digging? Is that the issue?

There's been prayer, there's been suffering

And in the end, I am just hoping this can be used for glory
Rather than condemnation
Because God knows if I could blink, and everything would be fine, I'd do it, and never struggle again.
But maybe that's where the glory rises from.

I would have to say
By far the worst part
Is I still can't look at your face
Without feeling hurt.

I could still take a bullet for you
But I cannot linger around you any longer.

Is that what forgiveness is?

Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
After all this let's go to Chuck for sports
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report

A silence ringing Ever repeating
Symphony of
Discontentment
Reassessment
Where the heck am I now?

A lofty lonely absolute
With candy bars
Let's be astute
I've lost all of timbucktoo
In times of lonely and the blue

OH let's just get out of here
OH let's just get far away

Withe the ever screeching contamination of armpit's bleeding
Tumors the size of icicles with the everlasting gob-stopper hole
Rearrangement gentle spinings
Take away my Christmas tidings
And leave me here on this freaking porch
Listening to the Police Reports

OH let's just get far away
OH let's just lay here to stay

Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report
This evening there's a shooting near a local door
Let's beat a dead horse on the news report

I never said this would be easy
But I always expected it nonetheless
I never knew that it'd be so hard to
Listen
Just to
Listen

OH we can never get far enough away
OH somehow I've only managed to stay

Saturday night is the wrecking crew
I'd ask if you were here, but I think you've spewed
The intellect and nonetheless I'm making up for all my
misplaced tests
Taking time to make the rhymes and bring about the chiming of the tolls
The ringing of the chimes
I had a tune for this... what do you think?

You plague my dreams
I hope you know
From back and forth
To to and fro

Don't know which ring of hell
I'll go
When you
show up to greet me

A wistful hello you drop to me
Hoping I'll retort with sympathy
But after all you've done to me
I can hardly manage greeting

I wish you all the best,
You know
From joyful days
For knowledge flow

I just wish you'd leave me be
Absolute
And stay the furthest you can manage

Leave the rest to me.

Illiterate alphabetical
I freaking spilled my soup?

What do you get when all my brain cells have flown ze coup?

The Lion share of burdened
Letters
Watch them while they burn the
Letters

Oscar Wilde
Oscar Childe
Oscar Mike

Let's toil
Let's rile

If everything tasted like wild berries

The flower petals in my mind
The flower petals in your hair

If everything tasted like wild berries
Like anyone ever cared

The flowers in your hair,
Oh, the flowers in your hair.

******* my comeuppance.
There's a lot of boring here

Learning new text
Fighting new 'plex
And settling into no other

Life as a smattered painting
Galaxy's attempt at recreation
Correctional institutions of cellular disillusions

Peeing off the side of the golden gate to create a meta golden gate
Ships sail underneath my toxins.

Vulgarity for clarity and cleverness for its sake.
Drown myself in intoxication and say things in it's wake.

Welcome to life post life. Welcome to a lonely impasse. Welcome to a place that God desires, let's hope it will soon pass.

The question I get once upon a never:
From where does your writing stem?

The answer is inside, with a clever, witty reply, and an honest tinge in the vocal happenings.

So another never ever asks:
Where are you, friend? How are the days? What has happened to your writings?

The answers are: somewhere. Not great.

And lastly,
I oft perceive my writings as weakness
And outer showings of a deeper flaw, so forgive me if I seem aloof.
I have not yet managed to find the proper skin to settle.
Recent musings with a deep desire to come back to some sort of prose.
