#collateraldamage
I write to my content. Making those tiny videos without shame. Gaming at its finest and total conquest. Watching what I wanted to. Going for the morning walks with a pit Bull/terrier than never fails to protect me. Sleeping more only to be awoken by a different nightmare. Actually showered and cleansed from everything. Then one message. One call. My world is turned upside down again and I’m lost again. Hurt again. Betrayed and wishing for it all to end. Peace I will never be granted. Clearness of thoughts will never be realized. And my heart. My precious heart has nothing left to give.

Her Dreams.
What happens to identity When surrender is called? The wrong side of history The tiger that’s been mauled. How do you bear the moniker Defeated? Enemy? Now living under their regime Your choice is? “Happily”. Wary of the kindnesses That you rarely receive. Your hand extends in friendship but your heart says, “disbelieve”. Someone else decided for you, who your foes should be. The axis tilted in the night now you’re the “enemy”. You gaze at your hated visage and you scowl at the brazen one who was simply caught living life, you were no smoking gun! You wish that you may find some hope To tether you to life To bring you back from bigotry, suffering and strife. Your muted voice is quiet now But one day you may try To make sense of the whole **** mess Or always wonder why.

The Occupied
There is a love that rages here. A kind that's incredible. One that's illogical and addled. It sees through eyes though blind. It thinks with mind though insane. It feels with heart though unscrupulous. It chooses with thought though reckless. It is selfish and it wants what it wants. It doesn't care because everything else bears little weight. Inconsequential. There is a love that surges here. And we are but... collateral damage.

Collateral Damage
Ribs crack and flowers grow Life, rising up from death as easily as day from night We are all wild flowers who have no contract with the word and who pay no regard but who whip and whirl with the wind staying rooted yearning for more Sometimes loosing petals sometimes blowing away completely We are our own collateral damage lost to the universe, lost to the stars
