The dots
Coming up to
Until a dot becomes you
Waiting heart
That is love.

Alex 7m

They never hurt me, i hurt myself.
They never doubted me, i doubted myself
It was never their fault, it was mine
They never did something wrong, i was ******* up
They never deserved the treatment they get, give it all to me
They dont deserve the pain they feel, give it all to me
It was all me, give it all to me. Let them free, let them live
Give it all to me, it was all me.

Every boy deserves favour.

Poured measured and forged
mistakes debates
fears and many years
Son of a Son to a Son
tempered
to remember
assembled
never
dismembered.
I am the blacksmith
you are the sword
a father not your lord
God plexed tenacity
steel tempered capacity
every boy deserves favour
my time is gone
be bold stay strong
love ad's character to labour.

The Words of My Heart 9m

Who I am

I am not the sun in your sky
or the stars in your night
I am not your umbrella when it rains
or your light when it's dark
I am not the one to pick you up when you fall
or the one to help you be stable
I am the one you forgot
I am the one you lost

Power Outage

Computer spiders spin electronic webs
Everything depends on the word “grid”
It’s a cyberattack the generals say
And others say it was planned from the start
Neurons flicker and go dark
We become space a black hole a dead planet
Lightning dies on the vine the current falters
In times past a power outage lost time and food
Now it’s your mind you lose
Your network of imaginary friends
Your memes and your mined minds
Nothing left to mimic or mentalize
Step out into the dark the coyotes are laughing
The bats have pinpointed our weakness
How long will we stay in the dark we cry
Why ask-- have we ever lived in the light

Angel 11m

Untitled

My eyes close.
I'm holding onto
my memories
and hatred.
My slumber
all alone in my head...
so silent.

I can't explain the way
my tears run blood along my veins.
If I let go of my pain,
I'll cease to be, give into the plague...

War is coming,
I can hear it in my heart.
Blood will flow
along the grounds of the innocent.
I can't deceive
the darkness anymore...
I'm letting go, I'm losing control of myself...

you beat me down,
so low and now
I'm crying my soul.
I'm losing control.
You led me to
a place where I
can't feel my face...

Death is just an anesthetic
for what's to come.
A body left behind with no face,
feeling numb.
All alone, I cry here,
fading into nothing.
All alone I lie here
dying...

...losing myself.

Friend Nor Foe

Anxiety is a passing cloud
in a crowded sky
It does not live in painful truth
nor in a dreadful lie
It isn't yours
It isn't you
So, let it howl and bark
Just, gently sit beside it
and hold it in the dark
