Blood is spewing between my teeth
Forming bubbles in the cracks
My eyes flipping back
And my hippocampus playing memories like a reel of grainy film
Playing in the back of my skull
This life has become the screen
And all I can see is the movie of my life repeating over and over again in front of me

These patterns never cease,
I've lied and said my pain had decreased
But it's all just a show,
To make myself appear stronger than I really am,
To hide the weakness under the armor
But it's my heart I can't contain
It's too powerful to be detained
It must be expressed
These feelings for you can't remain repressed
And all I can say is love is what I suggest
Between me and you
You'd improve me,
You've already taught me a thing or two

I once was a hypnotic fairy queen
Empress of intangible things
Emotions like fire were carefully hidden
I had hopeless men ravenously smitten
Now I've grown,
And I'm more like a queen of joy and the unknown
I like tinkering with spiritual concepts,
Trying them on for size,
Seeing in which ways these perspectives can open up my eyes

With age and experience
I'm sure of what I want,
What I need
The first time I saw you I couldn't breathe
The first time our eyes met,
I felt like I had known you before
How could it be so,
That I've not known you longer?
I am fond of you,
Your deep blue eyes make me wonder...

Configurations don't lead to conclusions
I have mashups of inklings
But it's all still confusing
Looking back at past relationships,
Well, I don't want to repeat those mistakes again,
But I think we have a good shot of having a happy ending,
And an even better beginning.

we all carry inside of us

our own personal abyss

where things

unspeakable, unimaginable,

-unbearable.

dwell

some go all their lives battling it

some live, never knowing its touch

but most terrifying is the one

who lives in it,

becomes it.

take care not to live life from within it

those who do

speak in tragedy

and act in atrocity

only ruin shall be their legacy.

What is truth and how can we begin to know it?
Does it seem to encompass all of us?
We stand apart, a people set above
Destined to forever see what we cannot ever be

Battered buildings stand as silent monuments
Deep inside our dreams we sense some meaning
We stand alone, a people set above
Destined to forever be stumbling forward blindly

As a race we will continue on again
Traveling the dusty road of time forever
Watching empires rise and fall like dust-
The stumblings of petty things called men

We stand apart, a people set above
Destined to forever be walking forwards endlessly
My sweetheart welcome me with open arms
Let my love longings be fulfilled just for ever
Let me kiss and caress you with love norms
Let us be companions for real taste and flavor

I just own my body but you are my soul's solace
Every contentment comes through your red lips
In every trying situation you are my only grace
I am enthralled by wonderful curves giving tips

I want to explore all treasure but being one on one  
In the process I may discover you all and in entirety
Let me see you burning with burning blazon sun
But before that my love you have to agree to disagree

Words fail to describe
My heart's lullaby
It sings a beautiful toon
That reaches all the way up to the moon

It's a promising song
One that reminds me to hold on and be strong
For many times I feel weak
But when I hear it I once again get up from my knees

I would be lying
If I went denying
My multitude of blessings spread through my years
Why did I waste so much time on fake friends and fake fears

What I've realized is right now I'm just Here
And I've learned to love being in my warm bed instead of backpacking
Those dreams may be accomplished later, or never at all...
All I can experience right now is Here...
And I choose to enjoy and revel in this very moment.

The love I deserve
Is a love a haven't tasted yet
I have felt it for myself
But not within a relationship

The love I deserve
Is infinite and continuously kind
It has no thorns or ulterior motives
It fills with light the dark crevices of my heart and mind

The love I deserve
Is free and delicate
It's a leaf floating along on the breeze
And enjoying every moment of it

The love I deserve
Is warm and healing
Within the embrace of trust
There is no need for concealing

The love I deserve
Is undying and relentless
Even within the eye of the storm
Nothing will ever take away what we call precious

The love you deserve
Is the love I deserve
It's the love we all deserve.

My mind is screaming obscenities
And howling like a wounded dog
In the stark midnight air
I look up to see
To look at all the people around me
Can they hear the chaos that originates inside of me?
It's sad to say that my affliction
Is my disguised blessing
It gives me material to write about
I look down at the scars on my left arm
That my 16 year old self transcribed
I think of how long it's been
With this depression and anxiety and social paranoia lurking below the surface,
Swimming within my subconscious like eels that sting when they come to the surface
It feels like I've tried everything to heal,
And yet it persists
My mind goes ablaze
And my heart starts to race
I blame the whole world for my condition
If people were more loving and kind
If I just had someone to hold me and listen
I know these inner wounds would heal
These wounds need kissing and hugs and encouragement
This heart needs loving and then it'll start flourishing
I need support and kindness
I need to be free and
At the same time
I need good hearted people to love me.
Let's all make an effort to be the good hearted people other people need in this world. :)
