Blank face no emotions

be a good girl and obey

You break the chain they break your spine 

 hush baby easy and slow Walk the Line
It's me every day, living in the wrong place with the wrong people....

Three things to know
Before going on a blind date:

1. The layout of the restaurant and how
many exits it has.

2. Making sure your "surprise" friend has proper directions and is reliable.

3. How to go about filing a restraining order.

******* on a can of beer
I'm sure the answer's in here somewhere
diversion of my mind map
fools illusion, mirage'd secret
a child again
stupidly laughing
at the stupidest of things

I could conquer the universe
just as long as this bubble
remains unburst

my body starts to question though
just how far I'm prepared
to go
beyond the veil
beyond the pale
the edge of insanity
a dance with the devil

crash comes through
outer atmosphere
splashdown
of this spaceship
in a sea of pain and fear
what did I do last night
dare I answer that texted phone

This world is so loud
I close my eyes
Hoping for silence
Instead I’m blinded by the sound
Of the dissonance in my mind
I think about how I fell
Into your eyes
So many times
Hopeless for you
Always waiting for your kiss
And other things I miss
It’s my escape
My happy place
Seeing your face
Life swirls around me
And as strange as it sounds
I don’t feel alone when you’re in my heart
I never want us to start because then
Inevitably we end
And I don’t want the end
I’m so afraid to call us something
But we aren’t nothing
Our friendship is the constant
But when will enough be enough
When will we give in
Or do we just let fear win
Lost in my head
Wish we were still in bed

This world conforms to me.
Landscapes bursting with hues,
You can almost smell the colors.
Benevolent to my wounds.
Distorted shapes and figures
Blending with one another.
My solace,
My sanctum,
My peace.

My worries,
My pain,
My memories,
None are welcome.
An escape from all that wishes to harm me.
One stroke of my finger
And all my imagination appears.

I hear familiar voices from the outside.
“Come back,” they shout,
“Come back to reality
And face what troubles you.”

“No,” I whisper,
“I think I’ll stay.”

Maybe I should leave him.
I can see the pain settling in his eyes as he stares me down eyebrows crinkling in pity.
"Why don't you fix your sleep schedule?"
It sounds like code for,
"Why don't you fix yourself?"
I tell him I can't. I tell him that I've been trying.
But he can't see it.
The shackles, the ball and chain.
The shadows that appear even when there is no light.
He can't hear them.
The demons in my mind whispering self hatred.
Maybe I should leave him/
I can't explain to anyone what I am, how I feel, what I'm doing.
I'm tired of trying to explain, exhausted from trying to live a life that I don't want and trying to change.
Happiness.
What a cruel word.
What a sad reminder that pain is all I possess.
I shackled myself and I should leave.
Before I shackle him too.
I dragged the one light in my life through the mud and he paid the price

A man lives far
In distant land

He fled home
Centuries ago

Loved ones
Long forsaken

The terrors
Long forgotten

Restful nights
A man set free

Time passed
Nightmares Unburied

A man fled monsters
Centures ago

But twist or turn
Walk or run

All roads
Lead home
Many flee home
Most times, home follows you wherever you go

And love is too blind, you don't understand,
you're out of the pictures that you took,
and this love **** that corrupts all is suppose to be
good to you,
Waste you time is what you do,
when you look for a soulmate,
when you look, you find out,
that love will turn to hate,
but truthfully you'd know that this will turn on you,
on you,
I done been , thru it all,
and i'm looking away when,
truthfully i just want all control,
of my life,
my life,
this life,

Nobody tryna' knock what you trying to be,
its really hard for anyone to see,
you want love but the trust , they won't keep,
its more heartache and lustful fantasy,
posing around like you really want marriage when its just gonna end,
just gonna end,
I spent my life tryna' earn what I want,
it always failed,
even when I would stunt,
Its hard for me,
prepare funeral,
and when your around,
you'll be a memory,
I bet that girl you like would never dream about you,
Its not fair what happens to you.


And love is too blind, you don't understand,

why are you so noisy
you're hurting my ears
you're just seeking attention
to someone who doesn't notice you
do you need help?
i can't help you
you are me
and i don't like me
anymore.
i want to disappear.
Dog Years Jan 2020
A light soft flutter
Faithfully carried a moth
Intent on escape

She flew quite softly
Through the light and to the moon
Left the world behind

Flying by and by
Only to see what awaits
Across the night sky
