My Insomnia is a **** He keeps me up at night and keeps the end of my bed warm. When the sun sets and the moon comes up, I should be dreaming of soft things or wacky situations that could never happen. But instead, I'm trapped here, with my Insomnia at the foot of my bed, keeping me on my phone. My Insomnia is a patient man. I've tried, believe me, to ignore him. I've laid for hours in my bed, wrapped up in blankets. I've counted thousands of sheep, let them hop to and fro from my bed to the door. But he shoos them away when they get to close. My Insomnia is a jealous man. He doesn't like Sleep and her warm and gentle touches. He favors his cold and sharp hands. He doesn't let her take me until he's had me to the sunrise, where I should be waking now instead of sleeping. He keeps me until my eyes are stinging and I'm all but begging to be released. He let's go only because he'll return at the end of the day when the sun sets and the moon rises. My Insomnia keeps me in a prison. I can't see the night progress through the blanket I've hung up on my window, as a makeshift curtain to keep the sun out of my eyes as I sleep the day away. The night pities me and the day yearns for me. My friends wait for me and my sisters lose patience as I miss out on plans. My grandma worries for me, and pulls me from the gentle embrace of sleep. My Insomnia is a cruel man. He keeps me chained to my phone and my computer, to the horrors of my mind as I only seek relief through sleep. The chains used to cut when I was eleven and so exhausted and so confused when he had first graced the end of my bed. But now, when I'm edging into eighteen, I'm only tired and defeated. I can only let him run his course, and wait for school to arrive so I can imprison him with sugar-coated pills bought over the counter. My Insomnia is an ******* For even as I drift off in the warm arms of Sleep, I can see him drifting above my bed. He whispers promises to return at the end of the day, to which he always does, to torment and keeps me awake until my eyes burn. To keep me awake until I regret everything and burn in memories that resurface when the sun has gone away, and Sleep can't protect me. My Insomnia has an iron grip on me, that not even Sleep can break as I rest in her golden arms and breathe in her strawberry hair. My Insomnia is a spoiled man. And he always gets what he wants.

*Through the incredulity burning in the grim reaper's eyes, He unwillingly received the souls of those who did not deserve to die ... The bright fluids of life lay bare and insignificant in the godforsaken lands He sighed the heaviest breath he could muster Death was his trade, but this affair had him loosening his grip on the scythe Mumbling the dead's prayer, The half-living defied fate's ruthless threads And squirmed for barren hope A child nearby cries for the light to save him As the shadows devoured their youngest feast, so far Now standing alone, the reaper cursed the gods Who may or may not be listening to him He was disgusted with the greed of these people And their bloodbaths Where those who avoid death and the ones who thrillingly seek it Summon each other with empty excuses Thinking these are enough to fling their guns at the righteous Drink the innocent blood like the finest wine from their vineyards! Stab the weak at their remaining spots Oh how foolish they are! How foolish indeed! He pities those who speak death as their honor When they have only lived like rats Scavengers of chances that purifies their filthy names He scorns those who do not even speak of death In their wild belief that some curse will hand them like a platter to their graves When death is the end that no one , not even him, can escape Those cowards! No one lives to cheat that dark fate! No one! The reaper was provoked by humans Them and their incessant wonder and fear of That that is unknown Them who have stopped looking at their small, definite lives To anticipate what they could not even begin to understand Feeding their illusions that a special place awaits their petty souls to rest on Ahhh!!!He was tired of them all Might as well finish his job...*

of all the things i've ever loved you deserve it most, and i am inadequate. if drinking's a sin and drugs are expensive how am i to numb this? i've never craved anesthesia until tonight school taught me about bones but it never mentioned how caged they would make me feel i'm trapped in this body restricted by the only thing that's truly mine no one likes a broken mind everyone pities the girl with scars and i don't understand why some are born happy and others with a deathwish and maybe i'm not meant for this life

Oh, deem not they are blest alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; The Power who pities man, has shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears; And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night; And grief may bide an evening guest, But joy shall come with early light. And thou, who, o'er thy friend's low bier, Sheddest the bitter drops like rain, Hope that a brighter, happier sphere Will give him to thy arms again. Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny,-- Though with a pierced and broken heart, And spurned of men, he goes to die. For God has marked each sorrowing day And numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.

Blessed Are They That Mourn
God has pity on kindergarten children, He pities school children -- less. But adults he pities not at all. He abandons them, And sometimes they have to crawl on all fours In the scorching sand To reach the dressing station, Streaming with blood. But perhaps He will have pity on those who love truly And take care of them And shade them Like a tree over the sleeper on the public bench. Perhaps even we will spend on them Our last pennies of kindness Inherited from mother, So that their own happiness will protect us Now and on other days.

God Has Pity On Kindergarten Children
My song shall bless the Lord of all, My praise shall climb to His abode; Thee, Saviour, by that name I call, The great Supreme, the mighty God. Without beginning or decline, Object of faith and not of sense; Eternal ages saw Him shine, He shines eternal ages hence. As much when in the manger laid, Almighty Ruler of the sky, As when the six days' work He made, Fill'd all the morning stars with joy. Of all the crowns Jehovah bears, Salvation is His dearest claim; That gracious sound well pleased He hears And owns Emmanuel for His name. A cheerful confidence I feel, My well placed hopes with joy I see; My ***** glows with heavenly zeal, To worship Him who died for me. As man He pities my complaint, His power and truth are all divine; He will not fail, He cannot faint; Salvation's sure, and must be mine.

Jehovah Jesus
Bear me to Dictaeus, and to the steep slopes; to the river Erymanthus. I choose spray of dittany, cyperum, frail of flower, buds of myrrh, all-healing herbs, close pressed in calathes. For she lies panting, drawing sharp breath, broken with harsh sobs. she, Hyella, whom no god pities.

Woke up this morning with an itch to write, To put pen to paper, To put height to flight. Broken words for the good mans' soul, I write to feel happy, I write to feel whole. Like an anxious athlete on a trendy diet, I weigh-in to reflect. I weigh-in to free an internal quiet. Similar to an artist using brushes and paints, I draw a paradise with fire, I draw a hell with saints. Feelings twist my fingers and toes, Force me to write of worries, Force me to write about woes. These words are like screams, They are my pain, They are my extremes. To think I only write of distress is utterly depressing, There is also beauty in the world, There is a myriad of issues far more pressing. Yet given the chance I would write my worries away, Save me another hour, Save me another day. I would wish for an eternity of bliss, For everlasting love, For time's abyss. I could write about cities, Filled with people and cars, Filled with ruins and pities. I'll sew you a quilt of all my fears, Hoping no one realizes, Hoping no one hears. With this quilt I'd make my bed, Rest on it with fluttery thoughts, Rest on it with a heavy head. And on it I'd cuddle with the quilt, Wish away all the bad, Wish away all the guilt. For I know I could write for a hundred years straight, Still have those debts, Still have a tarnished slate.

Abyss of Thoughts
In my dreams I've kissed you A couple hundred times Melted into your embrace And sank in your ocean eyes In my dreams I have loved you Like Romeo loved Juliet Like Jack loved Rose Like Elizabeth Loved Darcy unconditionally In my dreams I am all yours And you're all mine In my dreams We don't break apart when we fight In my dreams No matter how far we are Our souls still collide In my dreams We had no worries We had a happy life In my dreams We sipped wine and roses watching the sun fall and rise In my dreams I could hold you I could feel you I could touch you I could touch your soul But lately I've been losing sleep I've been losing sleep I tried taking pills I tried counting sheep But no matter how hard I try They way back into love I can't find Our love became like a puzzle missing a peice And if I could i would burn all the puzzles I built when I was young to find a way back to you I don't know if the fear of losing love means I love you I don't know what's going on Is it me Is it you Is it both of us Is it the world Or the wrong universe What is going on with us We were the two that the world watched in wonder The world watches and pities our souls now What is wrong with us Why is this happening And I swear if it was the universe I would pull us into another universe May god praise us the dandelions in love But just like dandelions We are delicate And I guess the wind blew across both of us So our pieces scattered And I look and wonder What has the wind wished for My baby May angels protect the dandelions With there shinning wings May we find the way to love And if we don't I'll always look at the picture of two dandelions blown away by the wind And I'll smile Because maybe that's how love begins When the pieces scatter into a multiverse And find you and me Another you and me Bless these two May angels guard them May they set history For the two in love The love that never breaks you see And may the angels sing a sad song For the two Who Fell out of love

Losing sleep
In my dreams I've kissed you A couple hundred times Melted into your embrace And sank in your ocean eyes In my dreams I have loved you Like Romeo loved Juliet Like Jack loved Rose Like Elizabeth Loved Darcy unconditionally In my dreams I am all yours And you're all mine In my dreams We don't break apart when we fight In my dreams No matter how far we are Our souls still collide In my dreams We had no worries We had a happy life In my dreams We sipped wine and roses watching the sun fall and rise In my dreams I could hold you I could feel you I could touch you I could touch your soul But lately I've been losing sleep I've been losing sleep I tried taking pills I tried counting sheep But no matter how hard I try They way back into love I can't find Our love became like a puzzle missing a peice And if I could i would burn all the puzzles I built when I was young to find a way back to you I don't know if the fear of losing love means I love you I don't know what's going on Is it me Is it you Is it both of us Is it the world Or the wrong universe What is going on with us We were the two that the world watched in wonder The world watches and pities our souls now What is wrong with us Why is this happening And I swear if it was the universe I would pull us into another universe May god praise us the dandelions in love But just like dandelions We are delicate And I guess the wind blew across both of us So our pieces scattered And I look and wonder What has the wind wished for My baby May angels protect the dandelions With there shinning wings May we find the way to love And if we don't I'll always look at the picture of two dandelions blown away by the wind And I'll smile Because maybe that's how love begins When the pieces scatter into a multiverse And find you and me Another you and me Bless these two May angels guard them May they set history For the two in love The love that never breaks you see And may the angels sing a sad song For the two Who Fell out of love

I curse the mind's divine plan as I lay in valley's low gazing upon myself a god and a perfect smile aglow whilst I toil in my misery my soul tied with stones my statue's likeness stands above revolted at his lesser clone Look at how he humbly gloats His skin golden perfection A mind more clear than unstained glass A body crafted in circumspection but though I pull my nails with a revised renewed edition with every labored detail capturing perfection this tortuous image calms my heart stabbing it with hope for a better start and I hear whispers in my valley selling nectars of complacency spinning truths from fantasy of how I too one day may be but as my hands try to summit the hill soars ever higher and my mind it pities me below Remaining on my pyre and my blood steams and irrational rashes grow as I come to realize I'll forever remain below

My Mind's Vision of Myself Divine
"...And out of nowhere, she got sad and anti-social and wanted nothing more than to leave. It came out of nowhere, as it often does, and takes a while to leave. It especially likes to appear when certain depressants are involved, and when the memories of a better time begin to play in her mind. The sight of them makes her stomach churn and all of her emotions turn sour. She then longs to find something -- anything -- as a distraction; she begins thinking of excuses to depart the loathed scene before her. She pities herself, for continuing to feel hope. She dislikes herself for feeling misogynistic. She so desperately wants what she can't -- and seemingly never will -- have again. It kills her deeply to still feel these feelings after all this time. Said feelings were supposedly detachable, so why not detach herself again? It's always easier said than done."

An excerpt from my life.
It was written in the beginning, a beginning before Britain, before folklore, gore and war. A beginning then, when the lords created, decorated and separated the night and also the bright, bright light. Therefore, a delight! In the beginning, creating the seven ways of days and the rays. The birth of earth, the black ravens, the havens and the heavens. A beginning of clean slates, dreams, schemes and themes! As I blink and wink, badly and sadly I think… An ending, with fate or an ending with no ascending or commending date? Let’s debate and negotiate! A beginning, of Pharaohs, their arrows and the sparrows. An ending of sorrow? A beginning, borrowed from our hour’s tomorrow? An ending, I deem, that forever bends, defends, depends, pretends and never, ever seems to end. The heavens specialties and hell’s cruelties. Governments and their restraints! Negative and positive lengths and strengths. A beginning and an ending; betrayed and strayed, long before many of us were to play or say. Stories of cities, glories and their pities! Starving nations and Haitians! Expensive vacations and relations! The elapsed and relapsed! Perhaps, the mishaps and disruption of our corruption’s eruption and ending destruction? Hey! I say, let’s turn a page past the basked, the masked and vast. A fold past the cages that enrage-rage, wage and old age. The detained delights, the petty fights and plights. Why can’t we each reunite? Unite forever! Drop and stop this harm and fight. Fly into the night, together with our almighty arms and mighty charms. Primarily, in the beginning or ending, let us not negatively but too positively and ultimately amend! Children, men and women, amen.

Tell me when you feel the wind blow, For I cannot feel it. I see it bend the flowers stem, And shake the mighty trees. However I do not bend, or shake. I think that I know what the wind is, ...But I am not sure. …So tell me when you feel the wind blow. Take my hand, that I might take yours, For I cannot hold. I can see the warm embrace, And the lilting eyes that shine. However I am not warmed, and mine eyes do not shine. I think you need to hold, to feel the wind, ...But I’m not sure. … So tell me when you feel the wind blow. Speak, that I may speak And I will tell you things. I will talk of secret lives, And how all the world is strange. I think I need to speak to feel the wind, ...But I’m not sure, … So tell me when you feel the wind blow. I can only feel the wind, When you tell me that it blows, … And even then, I do not truly feel it. I play at life, and its uncanny ways, It is the best I can do; so for pities sake … Tell me when you feel the wind blow.

Tell me when you feel the wind blow.
There’s nothing worse than a girl desperate for love: A girl that pities herself enough to think she is so intrinsically broken she couldn’t even connect with someone biologically destined to love her; A girl stupid enough to learn that love is a reward that she must earn, yet frantic enough to always work too hard for it; A girl that overcompensates. Begs. Forces. A girl that claims she ‘Doesn’t know what to do with love’ when it comes along, so that, naturally, she can smother it; A girl who’s biggest fear is abandonment, yet is an expert on expecting too much; A girl that’s waiting to be saved, but would tell you she doesn’t deserve it; A girl that still obsesses over ways she has been bruised when surrounded by people that have helped her heal; A girl who’s self involved, with no sense of self; A girl that cries. And cries. And cries. There’s nothing worse than a girl desperate for love.

Unlearning
with shovel in hand, I go to the back of the barn. earth broken, I begin digging. My heel driving into the shovel, and tossing the remnants over my head. As the anger subsides to a calmer demeanor, I take a second to breathe. sitting next to a tree fronting the purple and blue sky with scattered stars he stares at me, not with sadness or pity, but of curiosity. What are you doing? i ignore the cat and keep digging.. teeth tight against each other, i dig until my arms are weak and i can't see straight-- until my body trembles      Why? why do you continue to do this? there is nothing down there for you. looking down at my shovel, i pause and with a heavy breath;    There's nothing here for me anymore, i gave this life a chance, i found love-- i had dreams and i had life i can't bare the disappointment anymore. i'm done here    nothing satisfies me here nothing with hopeful intentions; There's so much more to life than what you see before your eyes my friend with a scowl, i look up My time here is done, there's nothing more that i can do, i've given them everything i have and i've gained nothing but misery, and hopelessness-- there's no sun to my moon, my path ceases as dawn rises i won't be a victim to life's cruel taunts anymore a tear runs down the cat's soft face as he pities the stranger, i begin digging again with a brave intent, the cat speaks out of pure compassion; I'm sorry you feel that way if you let me hel--- with a swift movement, the digging ceases and the shovel is thrown at the cat with lethal intent terrified and frantic, the cat flees for his life. after a far enough distance where the cat feels a brief sense of security, the cat glances over his shoulder one last time with concern and worry, only to see a black silhouette staring at the ground with a glistening speck falling from his face growing smaller as he continues to run. the cat went back the next morning-- no one was there, just the shovel where it had landed the night before, and a hole dug so deep, no light could find the end.

It’s been years since we dated and I still remember the mixing taste of your lips and that sweet ***** The bristles of my toothbrush have been bended and I can still feel the ravishing flood of your flavor. And every day, I visit the bathroom to cleanse myself of the memory you etched in my mind. You see, *sometimes, four baths are not enough to erase the stench you left on my skin; sometimes, emptying the perfume bottle won’t make any difference.* The fogged mirror is whispering that my cheek is still wearing that imprint of your chapped lips that I don’t remember you gave to me. The shower walls are molding and so is the bath tub; *Sometimes, I forget how we bruised each other’s body by slamming the other against the wall. Sometimes, I forget how we turned a mere bathroom into a house full of living.* The drain is clogged again by the hair I cut every day, and the room will flood with rusted blood coming from the pipes of my broken body. I know, you hid the soap somewhere around the corners of my eyelids; somewhere where the rats escape. This is not about giving two ***** for a “Please, come back.” This is not about begging pities, under dim corner lights—No! This is about washing a dirt filled face, an overused ragdoll, with tears.

THE INNARDS OUTSIDE-SIGNS.
The rising sun crushes his soul and the night devours his dreams lost in his own obsessions, relief is the only thing he seeks. misguided love pulls him further in and each and every day will be his last struggle that smile that comforts and eases his pains drives him closer each and every day alone in his world, he pities all others secretly desires their simple and seemingly misguided lives he sees the dark truth in others their ignorance and happiness in the little unimportant things surprisingly perceptive, he sees other from an untouchable and safe distance his self-proclaimed superiority saves him the blatant wanting his drive is for recognition and someone to end his twisted course that has turned his life into a undesired and unremitting ritual endlessly searching he finds the one his demure and unassuming savior he clings with all thats left hoping with each breath but his fate is lined with misfortune and partnered with disillusioned sentiment a pair not even she can render their story ends the same he goes on in secluded shame a failure he has realized, destined to be his life’s legacy a lighted piece in the unvarying end the once hopefulness which guided him now dissolved into a resentful dissatisfaction but, that is life, the way it has been, a fool he was to think she would bring along its end.

Thoughts to A Long Lost Friend
Oh Mama.. Please Just admit that you are wrong for once and i'll tell you that i'm sorry 'Cause Mama... we are going head to head But not heart to heart So can I introduce you to the real me properly?.. I'm a girl whose still in love with another's daughter She said 'Don't give up' and 'i'll stay strong' is what i told her See you think that shes the reason why I'm so bad But i promise theres more to it than just that Oh life, is not exciting until you see it through the camera lens, And heartbreak's inspiring until yours is broken by your best friend And families aren't perfect, but we try to be again and again Oh but am i really so bad? Or just struggling to leave behind a legacy from dad.. Oh Mama please, Don't be hard on me I know i cry a lot But you did too when you were 16 And mama please Let me cry and scream Cause inspiration comes From pain, According to me So i'll go out tonight and I'll take the long way home, 'give you time to stop being angry Cause all the shouting and the doubting won't help you understand me.. Oh life, its such a mystery When it takes love to know what really is misery And friends, my friends all know me Even better than i know myself And that means something 'Cause in this life we all need help But can i pay for happiness with just my music.. Throw all the money and the greed and self loathing pities of the world, Into a bonfire and lose it.. Oh mama sometimes i just like to lose myself.

Dear Mama,
Not wanting to be rescued from the twin, sin cities, she's unwillingly led away by a man she barely loves and pities. Unable to follow God's direction and her husband's leadership, she succumbs to her heart's lust for a final look, as the horizon dips. Governed by Jezebel's spirit, having forgotten that Jehovah honors His Word, she's transformed into a pillar of salt for a life no longer preserved. Fighting tears from losing his wife Lot takes careful steps backwards, to gaze on her form one last time before with a new life going forward.

Poem: Lot's Wife
I know someone who thinks he's enlightened, while other people are still quite frightened. He knows for sure that Corona is a lie, just as much as pigs can't fly. No point discussing things with him, for he considers everything I say as dim. Don't watch the news, he says, it's all fake, the truth is, that your freedom is at stake. Certain media channels tell you for a fact that the richest people have formed a pact. With subtle methods they keep you at bay, and aim to shape you like a piece of clay. Think about the real reason for vaccination, it's enough to give you fear and trepidation. Aren't you a little grim and negative, I say, isn't it even paranoid to think that way? He smugly looks at me 'cos he thinks he's right, and pities me as I won't put up a fight. I suppose belief is bliss no matter how misguided or how badly informed one views things lopsided. Perhaps he's survived by learning how to swim, but where would we be, if we all thought like him.
