As the animal nature
Pulls me to your door
A hunger driven
By the sense
Of getting more
I knock a little louder
Let me in!
You know
I like to stop by
Every now and then
Tell him it's your papa
Send him out the back
Tell 'em you need cigarettes
To go get a couple packs
We can go somewhere else
If oh dummy just won't leave
Tell 'em your sister is waiting
Over at your brother Steve's
Cause you know my love
Animals have to feed
...
Inspired by the Animal Nature in me.

I was going for the shock factor…
Did I shock you?

Dilemma

Roger

Dilemma

The fox was consumed
by unrelenting rage.
His cubs had been stolen,
locked in a cage.
No key did he have
to unlock the door,
so he waited and waited,
like a clock ever more.

Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy

"Don't worry
Be happy"
Bobby tells me

"Don't worry
Don't do it
Be happy"
He tries

"I'm trying
But I can't"
I respond
My head hurts
Fingers throb
Brain overflows

"Don't worry
Be happy"
It's on loop
Like it always is
When I'm anxious
And able to

"When you're worried
Your face will frown
And that will bring
Everybody down"
He explains

"I'm sorry"
I sob

Can't sleep. The world is killing me. Anxiety is filling me. I can't breathe. I can't be. Help...

P.S. sorry I haven't been able to react and see of of everyone's stuff recently.

Why I Won't Believe

Why I Won't Believe

People ask me
Why I don't believe them
Why I can't trust that they won't lie

The reality is
I used to believe it all
That he would change
And that he won't the battle
With his drugs
And his anger
But then I saw it
I felt it
And that's why I cry

This is why
I refuse to hope
And I can't believe

I want to
I really do
I promise
I try

I feel like everyone is lying to me recently and this is the reason I think might be why.

Have I changed?

Dr Peter Lim

Have I changed?

Have I changed or not?
But no situation is the same-
I adapt and improvise
but retain my name-

yet to be sure
I'm not a chameleon
my skin I change not
like all of you I live and move on

in the evening

in the evening

we breathed blue
a spectacle
of heaven reckless
the violence
of light
sticks
and stones
from the deepest room

we wake to the wonder that wears us

from the ancient strand
keys
and locks
the pendulum
of planets
of time stretching
a sorrow
we seethed green

in the morning
