The war of words. Mine versus Yours … for sparkles NOW ? Why do you even read if all you want to do is hear yourself? You need someone else to tell you what to think and feel. Try and find some deeper meaning that someone else has figured out for you ? , that you could staple onto your own meaningless unfulfilled excuse for a life. Or worse yet, quote me as you trying to pass yourself off as brilliant. What, did you spend 15 minutes of one day thinking that art was supposed to be or do for you? Are you one of those coddled little ***** sycophants? Whose mommy never stopped providing a V chip safe space for? Have you spent your whole life never being challenged? Moping around, pilled up and complaining about being offended from one participation trophy to another… ( no I’m not a Republican, Karen ) Did you think that life was all supposed to be roses are red violets are blue? That I'm here to enlighten or entertain you ? to feed you dopamine? Another pat on the head. This isn't tick tock At least not yet , Elliot was a hero for years but now I have to swipe right like and subscribe for what ? Sparkles ? Am I 10 ? Stars ? Too bad you couldn’t make them tin foil and gold right ? Wow… reduce my art to a shallow popularity beg SHAME.

You want stars? Make them tin foil. Gold & Empty .child clapping at a puppet show.
I am wearing a ***** shirt, It is crumpled and twice worn before On days when laughter echoed the halls Of aorta and vena cava, But the sound curdled and went stale As entropy ran through veins, As my name rang in your ear, The animosity grew in your cold stare. I am wearing odd socks. I haven’t found a partner, Nor do I understand the use Of matching two things the same. If I were in love with the mirror Then I should just wear one sock, Let my sock’s noose sink into my supple skin And slowly cut my ankle. I haven’t washed my tie In the entire time I have owned it, Or the time it has owned me, I feel the ***** cotton, wrapped Tight around my neck- Binding my words, Suffocating my suffixes, And the most heavenly of words have bruises… The whitest of silken beds, Was marred with blood Before it was clad in armour, Now nothing can harm her. Nothing gets in.. The covers are not warm And nobody sleeps there. Less of a bed now, Thinks defensively, now. The colour begins to fade. Ethereal façade I don’t leave my door open anymore, Darkness crept in And I don’t dare let it out. I have grown fond of the colour, Or lack of it. Personal pronouns- The more I use the word ‘I’, The less fond I become of it.

The 'I' my Clothes Wear Today
The devil comes and sits across you. It does not have hooves and horns But instead it looks like you Your brown eyes Your somewhat curly hair Your brown complexion It owns it It wants to own you No contract is needed All the devil wants is to Lock eyes with you And all you have to do is nod Nod,your head up and down It understands It knows It does not care for your imperfections It only cares for what you hold Your soul All you want is success You nod your head up and down In a blink of an eye The devil has gone But with your soul You breathe knowing what you’ve done But continue on and head back home You enter your dark lit room The vibe is different, wait no It’s not there It’s no longer yours You feel the emptiness both in your gut And around the room Sacredness is now inferno Personal is now inferno Colors and words are now your new inferno Your thoughts are poisonous You can’t talk You can only think in this inferno No tune can mellow you out NO drugs can numb you No love can shelter you No words comfort you Everything hurts Like a roses thorn But this is your new home Now inferno.

The Devil of Happiness
Drying like a dying leaf Thirsty angry full of grief Ain't no water in this town And if there were I'd spit it out Deny myself No, quenching thirst It ain't for me I don't deserve Not today Not anyway Today I'm dry Wrinkled weathered withered spirit All alone yet too much noise I hear my name Another day At the office With the drones But who am I if I'm not them If them is drones I'm the ******* motherboard Of corporate copy selling **** To ***** across the world It pays the bills Such a sellout So I won't quench my thirst

In The Sun
How could I ignored it How could I say it don't feel it The feeling of been betrayal The feelings of been sell short of my worth Flames in my eyes burn with anger And you don't see it how Don't tell me to calm it down How about looking me in the eyes See how I feel before you say something #sellout #bitterheart #flames

flames in my eyes
What reason it is found, In a soul that is bound, To the simple way of acting After feelings are reacting? All of them, and many more All of them, forever lost, To the simple way of feeling, That love always keeps on thinking. They sink, drown, and down forget, About what it was once said, That the eyes filled all with love, They're all blind, still filled with trust. So they gain, while getting lost, When it's gone, they see the world, How it's shown, without the love, Dull and empty, filled with lust. After all, which matters most? Love or reason, never both, Freedom, or just being lost? I'll forever wonder off...

I always swore I'd never sell my soul But then he told me How hot I'd look In sexier clothing

I'm On Clearance
I played and was betrayed for a pittance Stayed in the parade out of persistence Gave up all charades of any resistance This is how I earned my own existence By selling myself by shelling my soul One inch of survival a day for no self determination One loaf of bread to let them make me hollow One stream of **** to shovel from this hovel I prayed for redemption stayed in this place Strayed from my potential to maintain my space Let them flay me alive till my empathy was displaced And I became a clone of their perfect human race Just a shadow self of everyone else with no voice And no real face

Normal Man
Coiled around the core of my heart Is a sigh for the ***** who sold my art. I was that fiend, lusting for care, not long ago, I wrote the shame on the page I tear, I am my foe. But dead now, is that ***** ***** Buried deep within; I write for me forevermore, Yet carry still that sin.
