I take a step forward
Then life pulls me two steps back.

I cry for help
Get no answer.

I'm ugly
Unlikable
Full of problems

Maybe that's why he didn't want me anymore.
Maybe that's why my friends tire of me.
Maybe that's why I am unapproachable.

People lie to me,
They let those snakes slither off their tongues like false promises.

I am different
Quiet
Strange

Too much
For anyone
And everything

And yet I'm not enough
For anyone
Or anything
Especially not my father
And never my step mother or that family.

Oh how the medicine in my cabinet seems tempting.
All my problems could be solved if I take too much
And let it's empty shell fall to the ground
Much like mine.
Sorry that it's so dark again. I've just been lost. I'll be okay.

Trying to expediate the process in which
another man’s pain is relinquished can  

only happen in two ways; (a) drugs or  
(b) leaving him to it. There is a third

but that involves trickery of a rather
sorted questionable ethical suspicion.  

Fishy as this all may sound for the
sake of trepidation alarming itself

within one, must only come from within.
Other academia or institutionalized

theorizing shan’t ignite the inner lamp
or give levity to situation. Trust of one self's

own recognition in this be the path.
So, take it or leave it. Your choice.
Medicine for the mind.

Can you please examine my blood?
You'll see that I'm not that bad
I'll give you everything I've got
Will love you from the stars and back

Stick with me when I'm sick
You're the medicine that reacts so quick
You're the O and I'm the Stik
The only flower I wanna pick

Give me some medicine lady boss
I'll pay it with love, you'll overdose
In this love game, that we can't pause
You'll be mine and I'll be yours

You're the disease also the cure
You're the pain I'll need to endure
For me, one thing is for sure
My love, my love for you is pure
Rhymes in my Mind

Deeper than the captivating shape it has,
Lies a greater purpose it stands for.
So vast and strong,
It rotates laterally
and extends at your will.

It stands strong, defying gravity
cushioning you for your comfort
and holding your pelvis still.

So appreciate it for more than it's curves;
stand tall and thank your behind
when you bend.

For it is greater than
it seems.

She abandoned me,

     The white plastic I inhaled

     Scared her away.

Her absence left me

Full of emptiness.

A pining paradox.

          Perhaps it’s time

         To stop taking those pills

I'll wait for her calls in between shifts at work,
Or in between chapters of textbooks.

I'll wait for her voice to greet me through the static,
Having traveled five thousand kilometres.

It'll be love, it will be quiet,
and every time I see her on the limited rectangle of my screen,
Distance is an illusion.

In time, I will meet her, a roaring aeroplane will tear across the sky,
Over seas and oceans, mountains and wars,
and upon landing, in a timezone far away,
past the corridors and waiting rooms,
amidst throngs of waiting people,
I'll see her and it will be better than a thousand dreams.

What does it feel like?
It feels like you're numb
You don't feel anything emotionally
But at the same time you do
The numb feeling brings you depression and exhaustion
Tears refuse to fall, though
What does it feel like?
It feels like your head is heavy and clouded
Busy with thoughts
Your sane side is screaming at it to make it stop
At that point, you want to die just for it to end
What does it feel like?
It feels like I could let my head fall backwards, draping over my chair
And I could stare at the ceiling
Without feeling boredom, nor entertainment
I'd feel nothing
What does it feel like?
It feels like you wanting to sleep until that little episode goes away
Hopefully happiness finds its way into your mind again
Why do you think about death?
In truth,
None of us really want to die
We simply want this emotional and mental pain to end.
