Here come the formidable rains,
An air of sombreness it decrees.
With it, bringing--
Tears of the forgotten dead.
Cleansing the earth of our influence.

Tell me the truth.
Speak to to me how you truthfully feel.
You can't hide these things, they're real.
I would but it's not as you think

When you ask for a truth, you're asking for a newborn
When you want how I feel, believe me that the winds breeze could speak more than me
See these things could rain hell or something
So please, be warned

When you're asking for something you want to know, just know it's like any other person, it's complicated.
I can't rely on my feelings. They're like a promise from the government

I'm angry again
I'm angry because
I let you take
my self-confidence
how did I let you do it?
I didn't even know
it was happening
you snuck up on me
and took pieces of me
without my consent
confidence
trust
innocence
freedom
it wasn't until you
were long gone
that I realized just how much
of me you took with you
I'm mad at you
for making me think of you
I'm mad at myself
for being under your influence
even though you don't care
the first poem I had written in weeks
The Caged Bird May 2018
I reached through the cold
till I found it
A crack
Cold wind whistled through it
A draft
I breathed in your essence
It burned
like the bitter cold winds in the arctic
I reached for it
A finger extended towards you
I placed it
on the crack of your heart
Did you feel it?
An explosion of heat on your ice
I fought it
The fear I’d fall in to your darkness
I gift it
Warmth and new life I presented
Please take this
I want you to feel what you used to
You’re jaded
Frozen so long that it numbed you
I’ll break it
Crack open your ice heart and melt you
Did you feel it?
Love worked its way through your ice storm
I let go
of fear that you wouldn’t want it
You took it
and painted me pictures of summer
Spring flowers
I took away all of your darkness
I burned it
Your heart is no longer a cold rock
Do you feel it?
Love can change even the coldest of hearts.

Do you know

How I know

That there is no God

...

Because I prayed

for him to **** me

and yet

I still

woke up today.
I read a book for my anthropology class called "The River Between" and it instilled this idea of desperation and suffering into my thoughts.

A little yeast
A finger hold
A way inside
Shift of control

The counter contagion
The heel coming down
The firm push back
Control of my own
1 Corinthians 5:6-8
6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?
7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Luke 12:1
1 .., Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy...."

‪he is the devil‬
‪dressed in an angel’s robes‬
‪sent down to lure the humans‬
‪away from the sacred path to heaven‬
‪and into the depths of hell‬
‪i know i shouldn’t stray‬
‪for God would forsake me‬
‪but for a moment‬
‪just for a second‬
‪i thought‬
‪i would let him drag me down into the fire‬
‪if it meant he would be with me‬

he is the devil
and since we were children
we were taught to aim for heaven
but i would go to hell for him
