Someone's in my head.
But it's not me.
They whisper sweet words that pierce my soul
and shatter my self-confidence.
I hate them, but I need them to stay.
They push me down when I'm already on the ground
and they spit in my face.
It hurts, but the pain is a familiar sensation.
They look the other way like I'm not even there
and I don't blame them.
I wouldn't want to be seen with me either.

I remember
this December
when we walked on the Moon
and the Mars, will be soon

yet, my neighbor’s kids
still hungry
living off the grid
wishing a bowl soup of peas

every morning, as the noon
nothing to eat, empty spoon
every month, like the June
dead dreams with the wand and the rune

The moment
is caught
in the
poet’s mind’s eye                                  

Crafted
into words
with guile
humour and passion

Loved
by so few
so many
untouched

I know not
Who dwells
In my heart
I am silent
But  it is full of groans
And tumuits

and i know you're tortured by the taste
and the thoughts of what you've left
you tried to impose order
but instead it's still a mess
we tend to follow feelings
instead of what we're told
i've never felt so alone
i've never felt so cold
maybe love and logic
are mutually exclusive
what room is there for logic
when we return to love abusive
as i turn for one last look
at that ****** place
how strange it is to see
in the middle of hell, an angels face
i stifle all the tears
and i am never come back
hopefully the next one
makes up for what i lack
