Sometimes I feel magnificent.
I feel like I’m unstoppable,
a force to be reckoned with.
My actions aren’t well thought through,
with suicide attempts on impulse.
I’m running off of a few hours of sleep,
and I feel like nothing can knock me down.
I love myself,
and I love the world.

But then comes the lows.
I can’t get out of my bed,
and my pillowcases are stained with blood, mascara, and tears.
I claim I’ve never felt this awful,
which I’ve said the last five times this happened.
I sleep for too long,
and I feel inferior.
I hate myself,
and I hate the world.

Now I write my notes,
apologies for hurting everyone.
And then the good comes again,
but I only wait
for this ******* cycle to repeat again.
Well look who's
decided to
SHOW THEIR FACE!!!,
It is such a SUPRISE,
yet still a DISGRACE,
you are the
TALK OF THE TOWN, and
you VANISHED
without a TRANCE,
your BUSINESS is OUT THERE,
and ALL OVER THE PLACE,
so, come out of HIDING and
of the WORLD, JUST FACE,
the RUMORS are SPREADING,
like WILDFIRE, you SEE,
the GAWKS and the STARES,
I AM SO GLAD IT'S NOT ME,
the things that they are saying,
you just would not believe,
from the SQUEALER, and
the BLABBERMOUTH,
you have been DECEIVED,
BEWARE of the TATTLERS!!!,
JUST WATCH WHAT YOU SAY,
Your BUSINESS WILL BE OUT THERE,
VERY SOON AND TODAY!!,
IF ONLY YOU SAY
THE RIGHT THINGS,
TO THE ONES
WITH ITCHING EARS,
then you won't be hit with,
EMBARRASSMENT and FEAR,
If you want to SHUTDOWN
the NOSEY and UNKNOWN,
Tell them to
MIND THEIR BUSINESS,
and find BUSINESS of their OWN!!!
Why you all up in my KOOL-AID??? and
DON'T KNOW THE FLAVOR!!
Get up out of my BUSINESS, is
A JUICY GOSSIPERS MEAL SAVOR!!!

Yes, I'm back with another one!! Another one to add to my series!! (Check out my previous one's, if you so choose)
chain-knees
sullied
debut of
tie
&
episodes. A
secret
trill,
like an
eagle's evil cry, lacerates the die-hard spirit of death and hardship.

Diasy chain is a wordplay in poetry where the letter that ends a word start another word.

Who knows
How many more of those
Devastating blows
From life's twisted episodes
I can take
Before I get exposed
And everybody knows
This smile's a fake,
Adorned like over warn costumes on Broadway shows

Fleeting episodes
Comet's marigold brilliance
The night of firefly
Teal ocean waves' graceful sways
Lantern lights' dazzling glimmers

The first encounter
Evening rooftop hugs and talks
The late-night dances
Fleeting but never dying
Film tapes caged within my heart
Beautiful short sparkles stay for a long time. (A tanka poem)

**** baby,
I’m Having another episode,
Will you watch it with me?
My track won’t stop skipping;
Siren won’t stop screaming,
As the song drones on and on and on
And on in screeches of violent pitches

I am reminded that the witches’ words ring true
As I dance with the devil;

I guess it does take two to tango.

1:00 am, 3:00 am ... most nights,
thirty minutes without warning,
restless air, chokes the pipes
when controlled, it explodes in bits
of yellow, orange , dark red and gray
skull seems to crack ... or , is it breaking now?
a darkness follows a wheezing,
desiring to spew all malaise  
expelling bad air, while chasing fresh air
praying a stillness soon rules .... . but , no,
the painful exertion persists
that  disturbing noise just goes on,
and racks one's whole being ... one's world
every rib quivers ... every fiber throbs  
eyes and veins start to bulge
as if to burst on their own...

,, ,, , for a while, a calm occurs ... yet ,
another dreaded episode lurks...

on a dark, restless night such as this,
one can only imagine
~ ~ ~ the undulating waves ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ and the blue waters ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ of the tranquil sea ~ ~ ~

i'm basically either homicidally happy,
or suicidally sad

but sometimes, i'm a bit of both

smoking a cigarette
I stepped a bit too confidently
in front of a speeding car

wishing for a break
from the hectic mania
that my mind projects
and the absolute havoc
the outside world reaps
