Where did you go when you left me to die
you turned around so fast when you said your goodbye
Like we had met just the day before
like you were buying milk and eggs at the grocery store
we're only 33 so I guess 13 doesn't matter
that's years not months not weeks no better
I remember the words you said every single one
one day I will always love you the next day I'm done
You said I was the best thing to happen but now I'm not the one
you said I was everything but now I'm clouds covering your sun
I took those words to be truth but truth be told
never was I the one in your heart did you hold
wished you would have just told me your love grew cold  
or it's the time to fold but you just watched it die old
Now you sling your words cold as ice
your words stab like daggers, does that suffice
where was I every time you were sick in bed
where was I when you wished you were dead
who was your man after men left you broken
the one you stare cold now and leave forsaken
I gave you every ounce of my very being
you gave me nothing and walked away lying
Don't you remember when you swore off your name
now you drop mine the second you get some fake fame
you think they're supporting you the ones who hurt you
now you're off telling the world I'm the one who left too
your Facebook fame came the second you blocked me
Don't you know it only came to you so falsely
there are eyes on your lies and witness to your two face
our son's will know someday how my name you disgrace
that's how it goes use our offspring to **** me
the poison you spread don't you see how its deadly
reality will someday run away with your sanity
you think its easy now but its breezy with no integrity
keep that party line **** on me till I die
hope you have an answer when our boys ask you why
they will see through the lies and all your *******
they will know who really pushed who to the limit
you were gonna send me to jail or 6 feet under
guess you proved them right ease every wonder
every step you took I was the crutch
every leap you made started with my touch
every game you blame you laid on this shoulder
the reality of your lies you see in yourself now older
remember to tell your girl who got you to her wedding
tell her in the midst of the lies about me your spreading
tell your mom how great she was when you were fifteen
remind your pops how he turn a blind eye to that scene
remember to tell your new man all of the above
when he doesn't blink you can ask where's that love?

I sit there,
The only smell
The wine on my
Mother's breath while
She complains about her life.

She blames me for all of it;
My dad leaving us,
Guys not being interested,
Not making enough money.

I've tried and tried
But she still won't care
About them…
Or me.

I watch my siblings
All day each day.
I take them out of the
House when she gets
Drunk or high.
I don't ask for anything
In return.

I want her to acknowledge
That she messed me up,
She is an unfit mother,
She is selfish and cares
Only about men and drugs.

I want her to acknowledge
That I am the mother,
Not her.
I tuck the kids in at night.
I help them with homework.
I go to school events.
Where is she?
Sometimes I don't even know.

She’ll come home at midnight,
Stumbling her way about the
House with the smell of wine
On her breath.
Not everyone is bad
Not everyone's to blame
Not all can cast judgment
When all carry shame

I start thinking about my mistakes,
So I think about what & all errors,
Those I made & the world makes.
Some special pattern is absent,
Fail I do to figure it out at all,
Prevent I do from letting the blame,
Shift on others for ruining,
What I did and what I do,
I am answerable to myself,
And no ****** **** else!!!

Worm eats through to penetrate.
Trespasses, what ***** deeds?
What ichor is this to venerate?
How dare eat, how dare have needs?

Godly viral load unbeatable,
no t-cell left to count.
Wriggling in puddle inconceivable,
**** upon this crucified mount.

Lazarus, risen from the dead,
no dog now licks your wounds.
Lepers now banshees are instead
social workers which we swoon.

And the Roman laws and judges
continue blame, hand down sentence,
as degenerative generation smudges
out from existence, ***+ penance.

Dissected and pinned against wall,
this writhing experiment oozes.
Whilst priests and politicians naw,
compassion and AIDS funding loses.
We writhe. Yet, AIDS survives. Will any of us?

When this nobleman was around,
He went town to town,
segregation, being his fight,
while brave men of black and white,
went hand in hand and were united, by one common goal,
to save america's face,
or the blacks and the whites would get the same terrible fate,
but at that same time, Martin Luther ironically had to fight,
for black kids to walk into the same schools as the whites,
ride and sit on the same bus,
and even get the same bathrooms, water, and bar counter brunch,
but we could have them be in a war together,
no if ands or butts,
because oh great america like we are now,
doesn't stay out of other countries or allow,
that country to do its thing,
has america let someone tell us how to run our land?
didn't we leave great britain for our independence?
so how come like then and now,
we get into war over problems other countries need to fix themselves,
when we havn't fixed ourselves yet either,
Martin Luther King Jr. Could've told you that,
anyone from a history book could predict the future,
because we have not learned from any mistake we have made
so america is at fault and the one to blame.
all truth
I am emotionless
Okay?
Sadness turns our features not to porcelain
But clay

It's amazing when you talk about love
What people have to say
But love has fangs 
with jaws that bite

And the punctures 
never go away

I've been torn up, stepped on,
ripped apart
Left around in shreds
All From the start

It is a mess
What is considered a "heart"
Mine is mangled and mashed
And punctured by a dart

You didn't care about me
But I didn't care about you too
If there was a blanket of affection
You'd see mine straight through

We weren't meant to me
And that I knew
But if you need someone to blame
I'd still say it was you
I got this one published in creative communications

I'm not claustrophobic or
scared of the dark or
scared of people or
anything

Really

I swear

It's just--
I can't go
outside at the
moment can't
get dressed wash my
hair open the door find
my keys lock the door walk
outside just
can't do it right
now

so I trapped myself
here
staring at a screen until
