Twists and turns Learning to check my speed along each curve So much about myself I come to find is - actually another thing. The little neurons , moving about so hyperactively that it drives me into half a day of rest or otherwise What have I done those moments I have impacted them whether by a blow from the fist or the nostrils So much has changed no longer do I indulge in the dangers of drugs only the safe ones that help my physical pain Slowly learning- but not before I'm ruined , to keep my hands off myself As not to damage what sanity I have left . Which fortunately, Is more than I could have based on the past decade but unfortunately, some pieces of this puzzle of a young woman are missing- That is okay, I guess the colors in between and I scribble underneath I play a guessing game until my loved ones remind me of the truth When they know it Will I Always be searching for the corners to complete it? I really don't care much for whole complete pictures anyways Always folding photos to hide the faces of those who wronged me, crumbling unfinished pieces of art before wondering what I could add, only to replace it with another one . Guess it doesn't matter- though when I dig through old memories, there are some things I find that surprise me. How much we change year to year, throughout a lifetime as people? Is it more or less person to person based on our experience?

Puzzled
Cat-calls and glances meant to sting **** her heart - what a tired thing. “Too big a heart” she spoke before. Now her heart, it pleads “No more!” She caresses my bones, fluid, moaning This empathy leaves me open, groaning Confusion settles in like a sickness. What can she possibly do to fix this? So she settles for the knife like She settles for the pipe She settles, she settles, she settles, she settles. She settles, she settles, she settles, she settles. Nothing anymore. Sweating. Broken. She swears her heart will never reopen. The pain in her eyes, left unspoken She swears at God hoping someone will hear her choking. What can she do to fix this? So she settles for the knife Like she settles for the pipe. She’d rather take her life Than be bound to this strife so She settles, she settles, she settles, she settles. She settles, she settles, she settles, she settles.

Settling Is Only Easy When Your Choice Says No (2019)
I break down into a heartbeat through a whipped cream canister; God’s feet whomp at the Pearly Gates. Incapable of sin, I’m unable to think. Love jitters through every pore of my skin & laughter drools out. In an out-of-body only Malcolm In The Middle exists when Dewey asks, “is your brain big enough to get your feelings hurt? Me neither”. My life replicates art, choking out brain cells, and I no longer have to know what my heart feels. My brain is too small for that.

a poem about doing whip-its
mother spills lies from her wine stained lips; the ones that I used to kiss goodnight. "I love you," she says, but she'll do it again. she'll shatter my heart and walk upon the broken glass, ****** feet and wondering where she had deceived me; but she's only deceived herself by shooting up another time. going to drug deals at only age five, I grew up too fast and there's a world of chaos inside my mind. the pain lashes out on me like I've been hit on the skin with a rubber band. my toes sink in the sand and I stare into the ocean of the disease, she's drowning in the water but she knows how to swim.

my drug addict mother.
Come on and dance with me It’s easy if you try Come on and dance with me Follow my lead and glide Slip in the mud Racing through your blood You’re as good as gone Drifting away with eyes half-shut Come on and dance with me It’s easy if you try Come on and dance with me You’re stepping out of time It’s a living Hell Cold sweats, puke, and pain Your skin goes blue When you drink the blackened rain Do you want to dance with me? It’s easy if you try Come on and dance with me As we fall down from the sky Oh, come on and dance with me It’s easy if you try Come on now, dance with me And I’ll shiver down your spine The warmth is gone The rush is fleeting away You’ve nodded off For the last time You’ve come here to dance with me So give me your best try You've tread upon my dancing shoes It’s now your time to die Come on and dance with me It’s easy if you try Now, tell me 'bout your dance with death Was it worth the high? Come on and dance with me--

The Masque of the Brown Death
And as you fill my senses with the empty sweet numbness, I think I'm ready to stay with you. My heart beats slowly and eyes lower like a well behaved child in the church pew and my head tilts towards the ***** ground it feels like home but I know it's prison. Like a pure white dress that fits just right, but maybe too tight. The powder white lace choking my neck as I reluctantly walk down the aisle to my imminent demise. I thought I was ready to stay with you forever. To keep you close in my pocket, to consume your little moments of paradise. Till death do us part. Till you suffocate me, leaving me to die. Marrying my abuser, inhaling you through my nose, clogging my emotions. Blocking my thoughts. As the priest tells us to say our "I do's" I look towards the sky and like a runaway bride I demand my freedom. Crawling through the church door. Leaving your sweet gritty taste in my throat behind. And leaving with you my chains you lovingly wrapped around, demanding I stay. But I will always remember you. Always, as something old, something new, something borrowed, and something that has left me blue.

Runaway bride
Lithium, light they write, Like it’s right, white delight Striking bright, better tight: Fine and dandy. Glamourised in our eyes The surprise as you rise ****** heroised, Bitter candy. Pump the *** dump the dot ******* it hot, spatter spot Sing a lot, dream but not Craving luncheon. Skagging sweet sweaty meat Blisters well under heat Take a seat, come compete, Beating truncheon. Vie d’artiste, or at least Rising yeast, bubbling beast Trickling triste down your cheeks, Ever daring. Rising up, sup the cup, Acid drop, fizzle pop, Shoobie-doo-doobie-wop, Death to caring.

A toast! A toast!
You were like the purest of rainbows shooting through my veins. You were better than any pills, ****** or ******* No drug around, made me feel the same, helped me forget, the way you called my name. And i would have done anything for just one more fix, a touch, a hit, the taste of those lips. But reality it slips and skips, and misses, and slowly but surely, I recovered without those kisses.
