#inferior
They were deaf as I screamed; Blind, when i couldn't speak; Angry, when I started to burn; In flames, as my ashes kissed the earth. Never saw my terrified mind, When it was screeching to be free. At last it was free amongst the flames, Or so it thought, 'fore it refused to burn away.

Forsaken
So you know I don't believe A ton of the **** I'm musing on, But rather I am just musing on it. Yet, we know of violent extremists Which we are funding Who do believe in similar rhetoric; But I am guilty? No. **** you and **** that. Where's my army funds? Where are my weapons and munitions? Oh, right. I forgot. The Irish aren't people, No need to apply.

courting breaths   after blue i brighten        i lighten   with originless humour and then ugliness anew                              i tighten   into some packed pearl of monster breathe in   breathe out   courting breaths the susurration    of all this lung resuscitation    and it's 'good morning mourning' then 'bring out the empathy' !  and zitty connections and marvel over   'those poor things'           larval in their struggles   up the redline and envision throwing them heaps                of hairdryers  salad spinners  monopoly boards             vibrating cushions  for back massage and obscure tinned delicacies  from my extensive travels the five devils of my mind  tackle my erratic breath five mad ideas  of how to run their lives                         milk their hive form a worship  and go to war.. ..then it is i who goes larval                                             carving in on my minuscule heart crutching in like a fractured pill bug not daring to raise my eyes                    for fear of offending my superiors breathe in   breathe out counting down the breaths til rattle

My skin bleeds in anguish, I do not understand my eyes. My lips are charred, My legs are aching. Perhaps because for a long time they have been carrying the burdens of beauty. I feel ugly to my core, It's a truth I have accepted. I see pretty girls in glamorous fashion, I look down at my worn shoes and jacket. I don't like my body. Perhaps we can exchange our mortal trappings. Then I could be the beauty with a brain, And I won't have to compensate For the ugliness running in my blood veins. My hands are trembling, I dislike my ****** structure . Nobody could love my body, they could perhaps love my soul. It's a compensation that I always pay. For If I am ugly and mean, I think I will be a bigger loser. Somewhere I have to win. Pride is a false illusion that I feel for my medals and trophies. Nothing matters because My body cannot be loved in this lifetime.

Compensation
look at her, they say. so polite and hardworking. I reply with an okay- and try to be like her. look at her smiling on the stage, they say. shining with a grade 8 in piano. I reply with an okay- and mold myself into someone they'll like. look at her grades, they say. getting top marks in every subject possible. I reply with an okay- but I'll always be inferior. and they say, that's just how life works. </3

Inferior Life (Haiku)
Inferiority perched ready in the waiting misty lake. Like magic, she floats atop a rippling plain. Rest in water, breathe deep - the fool. She flutters above, air bubble out of reach. Drown drown in the void you create and breathe deep. "I pity the corpses who lie in the water," you say in the grasp of dead hands. You are a force and your mind is the block, so do as you wish, but lay still. However long you gasp for air, you will die regretting free will.

of the Lake
Stop holding me back for once, see the fire burning in every ounce of scribbles and words of mine. Stop making me guilty for my flight, and look into the horizon so bright. Stop making me resent your roof, while all this time you stay aloof. Stop shaming me for someone's fault, and let them go into the devil's vault of sins, see the virtues in me that I lock from the fear that you might tear and block. Stop thinking my life for your honour, and save this human in me from this horror. Stop it, with your words that shatter my esteem and do make me drift away from your team. Stop the assumptions from the lores of the devil, and look into my dreams arranged in levels. Stop it , Stop it, Stop it, When will you feel words I write and stop linking insanity with my fight.   Stop it

stop it at least now
Differences built us up so high We see the world from the sky, Clinging to the topmost branch, The way down is to fall apart.

They Look Up - They Look Down
When I had nothing, I had nothing to lose. I lived freely, blown by the breeze of the night, ready to go wherever it may take me. Over time I’ve accumulated so much, so much now to lose. I built my walls high, locked all my doors and boarded up my windows. I sit inside, rocking, cradling a gun. Never sleeping, I just sit and wait, hoping nobody comes to take what I have.

and awhile ago this night was tragic but magic I gad in her eyes yet the bright corners of my jane have evolved thus afar from the chafe and this schism must die alone

schism
they left me for dead, no eye, no tear I could lift to the sky, shame always befalls me, no one to blame but me, I rarely stand tall but keep my balance in check, I always want my friends to fall in line next, I've been going through some things on this rocky road, but thanks for knowing there's never any backbone, in fact, there's no backbone in this life.

no backbone
The roaches on my doorstep They show nights of neglect Follow me to darkness for I’ve not yet wept Sweep me under doormats and follow path The untimely death was apart of the wrath Breaching the veil I’ve not yet pushed through Legs start to quiver at those thoughts of you Will I be met by the moon Or shall she lay dormant Whispering to stars of my utter torment Clawing at life she has found her strife Not until mourning will I be cut by son’s knife Whisked away the smokes of today Unable to lay safely in the bed I have made Clothed in mindfulness I shriek at joy Just another game; and I am the toy

Pressing
You hear my words as they roll off my tongue, Forgotten tomorrow, Remembered never. I hear yours, Remembered tomorrow, Forgotten never. I see that sometimes my passion deceives, But all I want, is to voice it. I’ve felt such sadness it crushes, I’ve felt such loneliness it breaks, But still you do not hear me. What can I say to make this voice even louder I know the color of death As fresh as an hour, Washed gone with a load of clothes, Faded like paper. I know the sticky fingers of a mans and how it lingers, Like salt on your skin, Sugar under your nails I know the cold floor of a bathroom So cold it reaches into my soul Grabs hold of every last breath As I try to call out to you. I could scream at you I feel so lost. I could rip out my heart, that’s how little I feel it As you talk down to me.

the day i was reborn
"You have her smile" "you look the same but you're so different" Hollow me out Scoop me into A shell of my sister sliding into shoes I am both too small and too quiet to fill Meek mouse playing house In the home Of a lion Always a reflection Never the real thing Always just a copy A two dimensional figure Of a figure that I Can never become We are so different Contrasting opposites Divergent As in everything That she ever was Is unobtainable to me Steadfast lighthouse And I am the shadow The sun casts behind it So when I stare Into that mirror All I've ever seen Was a reflection Of a reflection Looking back at me
