I can’t get her off my mind You’d think I’d like this find I thought alc was supposed to help you forget Bet Naw she still creeps in my brain It goes around like a circle train

Like a circle train
I see you look at me But do you see me? Am I see through? Could it be that easy? When you do look, What are you looking for? Only what you want to see? What if I'm something more? ((What if I'm nothing more?)) Will you lie to yourself If you see something different? If I'm not perfect but maybe adjacent Will that still justify a replacement? I don't know what this is I don't know why I form questions To queries I want no answers too Just to repeat the painful lessons ©2025

All he wanted Was to feel the pages against his fingers Engulf his mind in something new Or old perhaps, different. Everything bled together, the pages are now muddied Dedications confused with conclusion Off we go, to the streets to find distraction Anything beats dreaded solitude When did this begin? Between The Box Car Children and Jung

Book Worms Don't Become Butterflies
Something awoken I long thought dead Something broken, back from the dead The long sleep felt too long in my head Now I sleep with everything she said Something smoking in my bed I was choking while she bled Turning hope from black to red then back to black the minute she left I've traced her steps and every one led to water I can't walk on or even tread Still jumped in, now I'm sinking like lead Going down quicker than the sickest head At the bottom I float not living or dead Stuck in a limbo of my own intent My prayers returned, unopened, unsent All i have left is the long cold descent Redundancy, my currency to the last cent I can't seem to help repeating myself Can't seem to stop teetering on the edge of nothing to say that hasn't been said

Maybe.. Maybe not
I will fail you, I will fall. Let you down just like before. Everything I built will burn. Broken dreams and broken trust Crush the hopes you held so dear. A shallow wave, I'm so wind tossed. I can't find my way. A thousand nights I've spent right here. A thousand times I've fallen down. I spend more time in the grave Than with the living. What is wrong? Why can't I change? I'm always lost or in the way, And so tired now, I just want to die. Because I'm so tired Of my own tired out excuses. And I'm so done With this over played refrain. I've rehearsed these lines A thousand times, But everything is useless. No matter how hard I try, how hard I cry, Nothing will ever change. Can you find me?! Do you still love me?! Will you save me once again? I spend more time falling, Than I ever do on my feet. Tell me! Please! Tell me! What the Hell is wrong with me?!

What the Hell
Do you know what it’s like To be required no more, To be put out to grass, To be kicked out the door, To know your work’s ended, No more will be done, To be slung on the tip, Pushed aside by the young, To be pensioned off In an unceremonious way, To know you’ve had your’s - Every dog has its day, To have an appetite for work, But be left to hunger, To be replaced by someone More able and younger, To be told you’re too old, When you feel in your prime, To be sent on your bike, Before it’s your time, To be all washed up And flushed down the drain, To have no physical wounds, But still be in pain, To feel your age, Find you’re no Peter Pan, To see your life going No longer to plan, To recall when you felt rich, But now you feel poor, To hear your heart slowly pumping, Alas’ it races no more, To experience an emptiness That nothing will fill, To have no medical symptoms, But still feel ill, To be out of control Of your own destiny, To be constantly asking Why me ... why me?

Required No More
Reflecting into my vision Red Reading between the lines of my own mind Running away Red Running back Rotten judgement is what I seem to be Red Ripped away from what I know about myself Reviling is what I am accused of Red Right or wrong doesn't seem to matter anymore Responsibility knocks on my door Red Reduce the yearning Remorse fills my eyes Red Rolling my eyes in mockery Checkmate

Red
The fact you repeat something over & over again But it becomes completely unnecessary Is redundant When you lead me on. Showing a bit of emotion. The commotion kills my brain like a potion But it's rundant The more we speak around, The more our heart will drown, Because that bush that wasn't easy to get around Has you down But beating through that bush, Will only cause me to push Back to a reality that that will be missed I hear it now, but I see something else I hear it now, but I want it to be something else Constantly exploring this muscle That's called a heart. But when I search it's cold and dark But I know it's uncalled for Because it's redundant to think about that thought.

Redundant
A flower is poetically redundant, I'd rather use a bomb with wires -red, green, and blue. Cut one, let's see if she loves me!

She loves me, she loves me not...
I have lost. Count. Or stopped. Counting.. On others. I exhale. To dispell. Hopeless. Nights. As i drag. Heavy. Feet. To. Ward. The darkness. I fall. Tier after. Tear. To tare. A. way. Sadly. Division wins. Again.

Of Course.
You are the cause of your own suffering I tell myself everyday, but I still bathe in silt and shame. Rinse. Recycle. Repeat. I tell myself everyday how mundane it is to be redundant: Rinse. Recycle. Repeat. Everybody that looks at me sees how mundane it is to be redundant. You only get one masterpiece; everybody that looks at me sees that's not a rainbow, it's an oil spill. You only get one masterpiece, but I still bathe in silt and shame - that's not a rainbow, it's an oil spill. You are the cause of your own suffering.

Redundant sexless girl Unable to fulfill your biological purpose The species will not continue - Not from your ***** Your womb is dried up The monthly cleanse broken Interrupted Your ovaries cry out- *The rain does not come The rain does not come The rain does not come* To wash away the old Prepare for the Coiling, growing, emerging The innocence to be birthed And spoiled by this world's evil. Redundant sexless girl Drained of life-giving blood Drained of nurturing power Drained of womanhood Redundant sexless girl Barren girl What use have you? What purpose? What right have you to still walk this most fertile Earth?

To continue the species
Redundancy. I read my words and I’m sickened, that you had this effect on me. I read them and I’m fatigued by the redundancy. I have nothing to say that hasn’t been said in the same way only reconstructed to better play the illusion of new ideas and some sort of change. There is always the basis the substance of being the substance being my overactive feelings and constant repression of what makes me alive— this feeds the depression and I cry when I think and I’m dead when I don’t I’m lying when I speak and lying when I don’t I’m fighting every day my feelings when I have them, and finding every day, I have more than I can fathom, and I can’t always put into words how or why I feel things so I tend to repeat what comes naturally and when I reread I am exhausted by my own redundancy.

Redundancy
I go through the days Thinking about what makes me happy But I sometimes realize I don't want happiness I don't desire assured satisfaction I wish to feel human To feel desolate To feel my pain To feel true life A foundation of depression A sense of isolation To comfort my shell Of what I used to be
