Missed Understanding
The greatest challenge my nature presents: Love is harder to find Hate is easier to find Within myself and others Is rejection different for me? Everybody seems to know the pain of being unwanted And idle threats and empty words are no stranger to rejection But when you say you'll **** me if you ever see me again The intention is clear The existence of my attraction Is grotesque beyond redemption I thought I loved you... When appreciation comes my way It's superficiality amuses me Because I know all that needs to happen Is breaking down the wall to my mind Or unlocking the door to my heart And those appreciators will transform into detractors Especially if the hideous leviathan approaches their vessel Not finding women gross frustrates me Because I have no reference point For why people hate me so much Which provides a reference point For why I hate myself so much It's difficult not to be dominated by this damnation But there's no way people could understand The daily subtle nuances Why should they? I don't constantly consider their lives either Even if someone tried to comprehend my life I'm not sure it's possible I've been here the whole time and I'm still massively perplexed I display my emotions Disgust I shroud my emotions Indifference I **** my emotions Hatred Is there no escape? Even with sanctuaries along the way Life feels like Everybody swims in the ocean While I'm resigned to my lonely oasis Is it possible to feel more alone than completely alone? Like a cockroach consigned to living under the refrigerator It gets so cold and dark down here I forage for crumbs only at night Mortally afraid of human contact For I know that the boot follows the light And why not? In a world where our priorities obstruct our compassion How much consideration should a real human show to a lowly maggot like me When they have to worry about paying the exterminator?

In 2005 my father, a pastor, decided that we would house victims of Hurricane Katrina. Our beds would be given to the ones whose homes had been submerged in water and humanity. Kitty and Minnie were twins who slept with me every night. I was only a child, but I felt like a mother to these two orphaned girls who relived the horror of seeing their grandmother rotting on a bench every night. They had nightmares of their grandmother standing up from the bench with maggot infested eyes and green rotting skin coming to kiss their cheeks. They were 6 years old. Eugene was 13 and his last image of home was his father drowning in their attic yelling for him to swim out of a small hole in the ceiling. His father never learned to swim. Eugene waited on the roof of his house, now his father's tomb, for 3 days until a helicopter came. John was an 8 year old boy with black skin and silver teeth who squeezed between me and Kitty every night. He dreamt of his mother finding him, and his dream came true; I watched them walk away together. Him in awe of his mom being alive. Her drunk and high. The last time I saw him his mother was slapping him in the back of the taxi that took him away from me. I pray that they learned to overcome their nightmares. I hope every day that they learned to stand up to the ones telling them that their experience is a crutch, an excuse, to never be anything more than what their parents are. I hope they all learned to swim.

Katrina
Was there a time when dancers with their fiddles In children's circuses could stay their troubles? There was a time they could cry over books, But time has set its maggot on their track. Under the arc of the sky they are unsafe. What's never known is safest in this life. Under the skysigns they who have no arms Have cleanest hands, and, as the heartless ghost Alone's unhurt, so the blind man sees best.

Was There A Time
Staring at yourself forgetting the clock went round. standing, staring dead faced with those lost eyes. cringed soul. mascara dripping down your lower lashes like streams of black ink. leaning up against the sink. when a girl cries its calligraphy. her tears spell out the sadness bleeding out of her soul. nobody cries with emptiness. you're a rotting corpse maggot infesting. its emotional ****** an empty skeletal. dismembered. discarded. when nothing pains anymore. nothing gives meaning anymore. the mind wanders. walking along a tight rope of death with the thoughts of losing balance. sleeping but never waking sounds like joy to you. life is still yet present. you're still here. stuck. alone. motivation ceases existence. you want to ***** sun rays piercing through the window feel like needles jabbing your eyes. signs of optimism eat the insides of the soul like a disease. that same routine. tired of how pathetic it feels that shattered slab of glass gets exhausted of that repetitive view. the view of you. you just want to be them. the people outside your window. the ones with the smiles. the ones that have everything. but when you can't even be happy with yourself. how do you expect to be happy with anything at all. You can't.

Word: depression.
Needle in the hay stack The spin of the weather vane I took a drink of you And felt heavy to the touch With my last bit of strength I split the seed coat Topsoil coaxing me *Come here, young one Come here* Blue The first color I have ever known In awe I watch as birds fly over Like painted die-cast wind-up toys The warmth fills me to the brim Free among unbroken hills Neither late nor early But still On time with the cosmic dance of fire  color rain Earthquake Heartache Lust and pitty I took a drink of you and blooms sprout from my chest cavity Sunlight flooding protons upon the hillside Into my eyes smiling *A nap on the grass until half-past two As if I don't have work to do Important things come and go They melt away as winter snow Drink you deeply from life's river Not even death can make it bitter **** Erectus In three piece suit Dead in a box Maggot food A veritable Carrion drive thru Just as fate would have it Do you need Some Ketchup packets?*

you wish to buy my meat. the butcher's cut is ripe and cheap; a fresh-faced lamb of london streets and everybody craves a piece. ******* ribs. thighs. money is no issue and they'll all see you gloat: "my spread-eagled angel will be gnawed down to bone."

maggot
Spirit and Breath of Life, whate'er Thy name! Bear with Thy creature, Man, That makes his dwelling-place a blot of shame Upon the Ordered Plan. Not Thy hand, O Divine Designer, hurled Athwart the starlit skies One blood-stained, greed-diseased, hate-eaten world, To shock celestial eyes. Not Thy default, O Beautiful, this crust Of fratricidal crime, These maggot-breeds of hunger and of lust That Thy fair work begrime. But ours, who mock Thee from the highest place, And in the light of day; Who claim to lead an upward-struggling race, And will not seek the way. Guards of the human birthright, at Thy call - A city sacked and burned; Guards of the house that is the home of all, But whence the weak are spurned. Brothers, to whom the outcast brothers cry As with a voice unknown; Stewards of Nature's bounty, that deny The lawful heirs their own. Thou that hast made us men, and earth so fair, To be so vilely used, Give space for late repentance and repair Of sacred trust abused. Give time, Eternal, that we stanch these tears, Give time to heal this sore, That our brief speck amid the shining spheres Disgrace its birth no more. But sail ethereal seas, an orb of light, To bear Thy purpose on Until it fades into the cosmic night Where the dead worlds have gone.

A Prayer
I sit alone most nights abandoning all emotion asking myself why did he do this to me... I ask myself every night as the darkness engulfs my brain... As I lie awake at night to prevent the nightmares from taking over I ask myself so many questions... Oh Yes my dearest reader I ask myself so many horrible Why did his fingers reach for the forbidden honey located so deep within my soul? I have thoughts that fill my brain with darkness Poisoning it with toxic thoughts... Destroying it with the memories…… Why did his fingers reach for the forbidden honey Located so deep within my soul? I remember how His tongue was sharp with the words he said How his words stung like the killer wasp of Africa I remember everything he said Each word cutting my soul like a blade Why did his mouth degrade me so? I remember the abuse How his His tongue buried deep inside me It was like a maggot burrowing into rotting flesh I remember it all Why did his mouth degrade me so Again I lie awake As I trace the lines on my skin left by his fingers I remember every touch Every bruise he left behind I remember it all I remember the pain and the stress I remember the agony of being trapped under his touch and yet all I could bring myself to say was Why did he degrade me so?

The Broken Soul Of A Survivor
dead crow, beak pointing west maggot **** and the wind at my back I break a promise and repair the past I've lost time instead of soul; false control breath another lung, be another son say the things you wanted, be part of everyone dark wisdom wrapped in hirsute puns blanket truths and a wicked sense I'll break a heart and save the future I may have made a mistake; tough break wink another eye, be the next to die say the things you wanted, be the first to try shallow brook flowing through a glen littered with little animal skulls and leaves I broke determination with good I won't undo the clouds, Ma...and Pa snap another trick, don't get lost or sick say the things you wanted, let go of the brick

say the things you wanted
Life got too hard, and he just gave up he tipped his ***** bottle swirled into his cup. No ice please I hate 34 degrees hurts my teeth they start to chatter then I start shaking my knees. This bars my Christmas my birthday, my new years, no ones here its my bar at my house I sleep in my sleeping bag full of beer cotton mouth. The mice even left. Without that molecule I couldn’t snore a wink the sheep in my dreams are drunk they stumble fences and pant bleats They guilt me to sleep not calm soothe or meek they taunt me of loss of love and a family that cant speak The roaches are gone they stopped playing cards I watched them wall glide and asked them to stay in my floor Then the roache left too. It seems cant do much drunk klutz falling over tables maybe my liver loves me maybe that’s stable. I go shopping for droppings for things that I need if I loved myself a bit maybe I'd do speed. End it quicker. The cirrhosis is my friend he gives me gifts cramps in the morning and blood in my **** I think if my liver were the garbage man. He'd bring me good news but I think liver got mad, downed the last of the ***** My liver left too. Now I'm a maggot bag stinking up the place...No one knows. Who knows.

The HUM-BUZZIN' 0f a newspaper flywheel-press What jarred up BUZZIN' slanders will these stories hold? On Newspaper traps where tortured minds are stuck and sold! Where lowered human beings are treated less On almost every city corner news is sought Those ugly outhouse lookin' shacks disperse, Smelly rotten things not found in beauty verse The sensation of broken wing-ged offical caught Garbage boy, toss my garbage at my door, maggot level I will bend, And claw-fetch the news of bitter end And saaaavoooor the nasty things in store

Fly Food or LoViN' My GaRbAGE
General. Sir. That is how you will identify me, Hoorah? I tell you what. I am a soldier But you? You gotta earn your rights To be privileged with such a title. You get me maggot? Fall in line, keep your lips locked. Look me in the eye. See any fear? You shouldn’t, unless It’s in your reflection. You scrounge for this courage, These cajones, that passion to surmount. To get here, where I stand… Here… Can any of you maggots tell me Where here is? Anybody? Are you even listening to me? Where the hell are you going? I never said at ease! Sigh I was an elite, A soldier, A leader. Where here was the frontline. The trenches, the beach head, Africa, Stalingrad, O’ahu. Now, here Is found forgotten, Lost in tragedy, A false spectacle of hope, Leaves me lost in this wicked dimension. Clinches my soul. Bang! Dust cover, flash Dust cover, flash Flash… My senses. Fading. Into this abyss. Leaving me here. A ghost. A spirit. Please… Bury me a soldier

A Soldier's Request
Before I knocked and flesh let enter, With liquid hands tapped on the womb, I who was as shapeless as the water That shaped the Jordan near my home Was brother to Mnetha's daughter And sister to the fathering worm. I who was deaf to spring and summer, Who knew not sun nor moon by name, Felt thud beneath my flesh's armour, As yet was in a molten form The leaden stars, the rainy hammer Swung by my father from his dome. I knew the message of the winter, The darted hail, the childish snow, And the wind was my sister suitor; Wind in me leaped, the hellborn dew; My veins flowed with the Eastern weather; Ungotten I knew night and day. As yet ungotten, I did suffer; The rack of dreams my lily bones Did twist into a living cipher, And flesh was snipped to cross the lines Of gallow crosses on the liver And brambles in the wringing brains. My throat knew thirst before the structure Of skin and vein around the well Where words and water make a mixture Unfailing till the blood runs foul; My heart knew love, my belly hunger; I smelt the maggot in my stool. And time cast forth my mortal creature To drift or drown upon the seas Acquainted with the salt adventure Of tides that never touch the shores. I who was rich was made the richer By sipping at the vine of days. I, born of flesh and ghost, was neither A ghost nor man, but mortal ghost. And I was struck down by death's feather. I was a mortal to the last Long breath that carried to my father The message of his dying christ. You who bow down at cross and altar, Remember me and pity Him Who took my flesh and bone for armour And doublecrossed my mother's womb.

I used to swear I was born in the Shire right next to Bilbo Baggins. Not because of the allure of being a hobbit, their squat bodies and hairy feet. The shire was refuge from the eye of the witch king. I would rather be an elf like Legolas with a bow of rowan wood Arrows fletched with swan feathers, twin gold inlaid swords, and eyes keener than a hawk. My weapons in this world are a bleeding tongue and rusted teeth Maggot-filled reasoning, an understanding that middle earth is no more. The Shire never happened for a ******* child. The witch king came and raised me proud. Fantasy is all I have left. What could I possibly have for you?

I wish I wasn't who I really am
I am nothing, nothing but oblivion, a vast emptiness within a breathing host. If you were to rip me open, cut me down the middle, crank apart my ribs, there would only be a numb void. Maybe the world would be inhaled into my stomach, for me to regurgitate, stripped of all it's essential beauty. No more stars, I will keep them for myself, let the moon shine it's dull light in the spotlight, with no one to share it's empty stage. Let the sky be dumbfounded with loss and void of illumination, and maybe with star-filled guts I will shine again. Everything I am, everything i touch, is robbed of love and joy, for I am nothing but an afterthought left by the shadow of death. I'm surprised I can be seen at all, for I am transparent to myself. My dreams and goals seem a whisper from the past, warm and inviting, their words tickling my ears with skeletal promises, concrete at the touch, but with no deeper substance. Filthy liar, tease. I reach and grasp and tear my limbs, praying to feel even the vague memory of hope upon my fingertips. I long for escape, escape from an insomniacs dream, the lines of reality and ficiton blurred into one, for only nightmares and goblins await me in my bed of anvil pillows and maggot ridden matresses. Escape, for even the stroke of my pencil, once so lively as it romanced me into a verse, paints a tragedy. But mostly,I want to fly into the night sky and explode, burdening the world with all the negativity I've gathered over the years. And release all the beauty and potential I've stolen and hidden away. With the anarchy that is my psyche, I will restore balance. I am everything.
