Everything Beautiful inside of me is taken.

Everything that framed my body has cracked.

Everything that once molded who I was and what I wanted to become has shattered.

Everything healthy inside of me has hollowed out and left completly.
And I feel dead inside.

So I curse my features,
       For they do not follow suit.

And I am broken.

But a solid mask is stuck in place,
masking my truths from any followers.

So I stay peaced together.

Hiding from my true form.


*So well that I hide from myself
This is an old poem that I dug up, and thought someone might relate to. Don't give up! The answer is always out there, even if it is good at hiding.

And so she took a weekend to run away
Not from
But with

A break from all of the many voices
That want and need
Ask, ask want
Reassurance
A listening ear
A job
A social connection.


Worrying and burying thoughts
Of the system, a ****** boy got released from jail today
And I scroll past articles today
Because I can't exert anymore energy.

Stop me in place
Not to err
But to go refresh
With my love.
Hell-bent cycle...
Worthy of the devil's doing himself.
He is the **** of ****. Devastation & destruction.
Words can not calm, but razors edge.
No rewind for this train-wreck.
Damage done. Once the victim; now the proactive perpetrator.
Size smaller than small for what purpose.
Tears on her face proof of the callused tongue.
Without pushing, he is terror.
Heart in shambles, not to be pieced nor peaced.
Sitting back in silence is not enough. All is too far gone.
Forgiveness is only the option of a stronger man.
He is hate. Hate is he. Hate the hate, this fate was fate.
Walking away; is never to erase.
Damaged shell, damaged core, damaged spirit.
Her love; too good & pure for; & that of his own.
Though she was careless. He is a *******.
Surgeon needed.

She lives down over there,
Where wilde grass grows .
Where leaf flows.
pretty show.

Her life: she is unendangered,
Her heart without ache.
Passing: slithering snake.
Cannot break.

You should not eat her
But the lizard tries.
Is not dead.
Wonders why.

She's a soul that's ******.
Everyday day, peaced out.
Life without doubt.
Emotional drought.

Edges smoothed by the river.
Carved by blue liquids.
Wilde erosion shifters,
Sediments sifters.

She is brought to life,
By the unholy geomancer
The earthen dancer
Death diviner.
I am a language nerd and a pseudopolyglot hopeful. I wish I could speak 20 languages but I can say como estas and besame ahora which is Spanish for hello how are you and kiss me now. I an also an etymology nerd.

here is the Scandinavian old English version of the poem with beautiful nordic and germanic words wit ancient looking viking script:

Þe līf æf a rocc

She lives dūn over there,
One wilde græs grōwa .
Hwǣr lēaf flows.
prættig show.

Her līf: a stanrocc fær,
Her hiertan without ache.
Passing: slithering snaca.
Ne cunnan brecan.

You sceolde not eat her
But the lizard tries.
Is not deað.
Wundrian why.

She's a soul that's stān.
Æfre daeg, peaced out.
Līf withūtan twēonian.
Emotioned drūgath.

Edges smoothed by the river.
Carved by blǣwen liquids.
Wilde erosion sciftan,
Sediments siftan.

She is bringan to līf,
By the unhālig Geomancer.

My secret?
I hide in the shadow hidden by the light of my smile.
Its the best sanctuary for no one cand find it. It disappears when light is shined on. Yet it engulfs me when night falls. But darkness hides everything. No one sees the pain, so therefore it dose not exist. Out of sight, out of mind.
My secret?
My sole is being shredded on the inside. Knives scratching away at my innards. I hold my shattered peaches together just long enough to drop them in my bed.
My secret?
It's all a lie. Every smile, every laugh, every drop of love is poisoned by a faceless enemy. The agony becoming to much to bear.
My secret?
I was about to destroy it all. And then he saved me.
My secret?
He saved my sole and he dosnt even know. He peaced me back together one stitch at a time. He never turned away or walked out the door. When the night came he became the light. Shinning every corner of every second. Leaving no place for the night to invade.
My secret?
I love him. And alway will.
I break mics, make em bleed, like punches from Mike, iron sight
Fist tight, I'll take all of your might, dont even front a fight, iight
We coming with the wickedest, vengeance, catered to sickness
Manifest, off the demon infested,
Yeah I'm connected, to the underworld, so dont disrespect it, before ya be resurrected,
I took jesus ****** cross, hung it like tree moss, flip the coin toss,
You'llfind me,in the valley of the lost, skull rallies, been the boss,
You suckas fallin, like Olympus Mr Snuffalufagus, plus the surplus,
All out maxed, Redd Foxx insults, graphic, as the Dutch Shultz,
Surrender your rights, see the shadows, hovering the night,
Smooth as a kite, winded suckas pretended, I'll end it flint,
The stones, cigarillos cherry foam, chase the taste, of ozones
I'm gone, watching the footsteps of rosemary's, baby slay me,
Naw I stay peaced, with the unseen, soul divine supreme, cream
Shattered many dead souls, added to the gehenna scrolls,
I'm just a disciple, with the laser eye rifle, cyclops the bible,
Raging in wrath, feel the thunder, lightening standing giraffe,
Catch the hands of nature, glad to hate cha, innovator, mater,
Let the saga continues, through graphic venues, I'll end you,
rip ya out ya skin, and leave blood on ya shoes, open portals of vessels,
Muscle man, champagne driven by my freaky women, giving,
Me they souls, bless they jellyrolls yo, I'm out of control,
Just another brothers,with the grit of johnny cash, bank rolls,
We beat the payroll, advoid pay tolls, that's how real Gs roll,
Watch cha know, split the kabbitz, lay out yachickens, gizzard
Poetry wizard, stick my tongue out like a lizard, keep lyrics exquisite,
Tip of ya toes, close down the shows, ya know how it goes,
It grows, more than the temptations, got the accommodation,
Change ya station, if you in hesitation, blaze gun nation,
For sticky situations, all of one one of all, never cease at downfall,






Gory road, move to a general,from a street lieutenant, innocent
Bystander, catch the wings, of a hate activate ya mental state,
See hostility at the alarming rate, wake for the leeching snakes,
Grip the peace, like a python, still let by gones be by gones,
I'm so gone, all I see is wrong, souls ringing like a gongs, its on
Caught the caption, blasting tactics steels of a black smith,
Hot ****, bound to ya melt ya with these classics, black magic,
I make it look so easy, but tragic suckas become mastered,
To the slaves of the intertwine, curved spines, of a feline,
See the horns incline, from her hair lines, sin never been so fine,
Apple decline, in the garden, step back to the game like Harden,
Charging, the game on credits, yall on debits, blacked out cards,
250K monthly, see what I see,
Naw probably, not you be hit harder than Ronnie Lott, guard ya snot,
Ya leaking, see the guns flickering, flashlight of a beacon,
Been a sinister deacon, silence the weaken, every first weekend,
See me peaking, speaking, paramount, calvary scout,
Lay out the KC, masterpiece barbecue sauce, it's the mosh,
Pit set up,I'm dead up, cant wait to this touch up, paint job,
9 to 5 robs, late night til the sun bright, soaring the heights,
Keen sight of an eagle, I squeeze through, out ya flesh,
Like beagle, bullets sniff you, now you laying like a vegetable,
Despicable, crews I bruise, leave em for the early mornin news,
Dont blow ya fuse, no truce, haters beware ya in for a scare,
Lay more scars to ya face, from unfiled ****** case,
No need to lie, what the **** for, naw I embezzle the muzzle,
Spread you out like puzzle, piece soon to be released,
Coroner, operations mud situations, change my caliper occupation,
Went from middle men, to a high man, baby bird assassins,
Who asking, about me, dont be part of the last dying trilogy,
Vladimir Lionter May 2020
Why can’t we live together in peace?”
Said Vergiliy, a great poet,
“More than for two or four centuries
We’ve been flown by violation’s
Wave and haven’t overcome it yet. ”
“Why can’t we live in friendship?” of course,
Ask we the question eternal, clever.
We won’t do it at all because
Nothing in this world lasts forever.
We live to build something as before,
To ruin and create out of dust.
We can never be peaced by war
We just want terror’s sense, alas.

ВОПРОСЫ

«Отчего бы не жить нам в мире?» –
Говорил так поэт Вергилий.
Не два века и не четыре
Мир захвачен волной насилий.
Отчего бы не жить нам дружно? –
Задаём мы вопрос извечно.
Это нам никогда не нужно –
Под Луной ничего не вечно!
Мы живём, чтобы что-то строить,
Разрушать, созидать из праха.
И войной нас не успокоить –
Мы хотим ощущений страха.

From the day we met to the day you left.
Always had each other's back naturally.
Miss the way we'd take care of each other because we knew toxic relationships and misguided intentions.
You'd care for me like I was the last sincere soul in your life.
The way you'd doll yourself up for me, the way you'd put my interest of beautiful things into your nails.
Such as color, vibe, and what I thought was pretty in the moment. Hell at one point you got your nails done inspired by Tim Burton.
(You knew me well)
The smile you give me when I noticed those things. I was so gullible and so dumb to realize you went out of your way to make me go at awwww
Coffee breaks and lunch breaks during shifts. You'd follow behind me to clear sections for guests, you hosted my feelings to a safe place. You remembered how I loved my coffee and you motivated me to stay sober, to stop dipping, to stop smoking. To be at peace. But it was you that peaced me out. You had gone and left.

— The End —
