I am a fighter
Because I know someday
That things will be brighter
And I will find a way

                                                        I am a lover
                                         Holding on to the possibility
                                                That I might discover
                                             A person that has virility

                                                       ­                                         I am a romantic
                                                        ­                         My desires are unwired
                                                         ­                       Trying to be sycophantic
                                                     ­                                Easily I  become sired

I've blasted my way
across the entire universe,
a member of a special operations team, we take no prisoners,
leave a wasteland behind us.

Once,
I stopped an alien invasion.
I single-handedly destroyed
an entire nation of grays
from taking over the planet Earth.
I was a hero in the cyborg wars, too.
I blew apart all of their starships,
& even unwired their motherboard.

Last month,
I defeated a whole fleet of pirates,
used my sword to cut body parts
& whack bearded-heads,
sunk a lot of their ships as well.

In fact,
every opponent
I've ever faced,
I've left belly up,
stone cold dead
behind my closed doors.

One little reminder is all I need from you
And you get me on my knees and tear my veins right through

You leave a ****** rub-burn on my neck as you try to hang me on
But I choke and strangle my scream of help as I try to run and be gone...


I'm being Haunted...  I'm gonna Flaunt it...
Because the cancer of lies are dragging me down

I'm being Haunted... This isn't what I Wanted...
Because I'm trying to move on but my past is nailing my hands to the ground...

I'm being.... Haunted

You see me grasping for revival...
Reminding I am only facing one true rival...

You lay my fears and weaknesses out like a deck of cards
You know this game too well... Laughing and pointing with a win as I shout, "THIS GAME IS TOO HARD!!!".


I'm being Haunted...  I'm gonna Flaunt it...
Because the cancer of lies are dragging me down

I'm being Haunted... This isn't what I Wanted...
Because I'm trying to move on but my past is nailing my hands to the ground...

I'm being.... Haunted

Physically... Stabbing...
Mentally... Spinning
Emotionally... Draining
Spiritually... Weakening

Physically Aching...
Mentally Strangling
Emotionally Drowning
Spiritually Fading

Physically... I'm so sick and tired!!!
Mentally... So burned out and unwired!!!
Emotionally... Frozen and Numb to the Bone
Spiritually... DEAD AND ALONE!!!


I'm being Haunted...  I'm gonna Flaunt it...
Because the cancer of lies are dragging me down

I'm being Haunted... This isn't what I Wanted...
Because I'm trying to move on but my past is nailing my hands to the ground...

I'm being Haunted... Lock it up in my Closet
Because I'm trying to escape the mind that as been born to do wrong

I'm being Haunted... I'm telling you I've Lost it!!!
Because I've been going back and forth between thoughts and emotions for far too long!!!

I'm being... Haunted...

I'm telling you... I'm being... Haunted....
... trying to make it into a song...

WHY CAN'T THE PAST STAY IN THE PAST AND LEAVE ME ALONE!?!?!

God help me...
...and now I am tired,unwired and unstrung and what had begun when the sun hit the streets has now ended,I defended my right to work into the night,I was wrong,the night was so long and my life,once light,now weighs me down.
I am drowning in the aspirations of what were once my own creations,treading on once upon a times and struggling hard to work these rhymes into some sort of verse.
Someone nurse me back to youth,
in truth I think that's all I need,to wait beside the fountain and feed upon the spring.
Someone bring me yesterday where I can lay my head and say,I'll do it differently and in the time it takes to cook a goose all hell's let loose as time bends back its hands and the clock stands still,then in reverse,which in itself is one more verse that rhymes,time's marching on and yet we all know that the time to talk has gone and words mean nothing if not spoken,something tells me that time is broken, and by the spring I stand behind I watch the universe unwind.
This is one more notch upon the post or at least the most that I could hope for as I open up and close the door,
sleep will come.
if not now then later so I'll wait a while,lights down low,don't want the night to know,
I'm here.

You let things fall through the cracks
Watch them slip away
Watch them float to the ocean floor

Words.
              Lost words.
                                    Last words.
                                                          ­Unsaid words.
Misplaced.

But gripping too tightly breaks things
Crushing memories
                                     Crippling silence
                            Dust.
Holding on for longer than necessary

No wind is strong enough
       No amount of time is still enough
             No conversation lasted for long enough


I love you.
                    Not said enough.
                                                    Stay.­

Unwired, untrusted
Unfinished, undone
Colour me foolish,
                                  colour me blind.
Colour me foolish,
                                  colour me blind.

Stories have been written about misfortune
Tales have been told about loss
But it didn't prepare me for this
No,
       it didn't prepare me for this

Being irrevocably in love
          and never knowing
                  never knowing

Too little; time
                  hours
                  days
             ­     words
                  memories.          Too late; time
                                                            ­    hours
                                                       ­         days
                                                   ­             words
                                              ­                  memories.


Are you even listening?
        Did you ever pay attention?

"I could never leave you...
  I'm so sorry..."
                                              "I love you..."

The end.
                The end.
                                 The end.
                                                  The end.

your eyes are the color of walking away;
your mouth is the color of railroad tracks
in winter and every car is holding another adventure
i want to be a part of.
your breath is the color of electricity, and your
teeth are just unwired circuits and your
smile is just another miracle my mother
said i would see one day.
my father spoke of you.
he told me one night as a child
that love was just oxygen. love was
the trees bowing to us. love was just another
natural chemical reaction.
dad, please tell me that this is love.
tell me that this woman is the one.
valentines day, 2013. ****.

Dullness burning inside
Feeling disconnected, unwired
Unsure where my books pages shall roam
Not even a clue of where to call home

Roaming desolate plains of existence
Sating my thirst in the oasis of absence
Traversing the dunes of empty dreams
Venturing across our universes seams

Scaling volcanoes of reason
Only to find it's the wrong season
A crater of false hope
A blank canvas globe

Is there an ending to my extinguished flame
Will it reignite once again
Will purpose come knocking on my door
To show me the world once more

My dream is just this
Like a child's bedtime kiss
Send me on my way
Away from the world of yesterday

sipping on hot chocolate
in the middle of summer
the burn in my throat
reminds me of how you set my fingers on fire
(soul unwired)
one touch was never enough
hands would frenzy, ravage, take
but my legs would always shake
my teeth would chatter
as if predicting the chill about to bite
your presence was my sweater,
a security blanket
summer has never felt so cold,
bones have never felt so old
call it a casket of snow
time loses meaning
when everything is at a standstill
the blood doesn’t flow
properly anymore
brain and heart deprived
selfishness caught frostbite,
we were forced to amputate
lack of precision - due to numb hands
caused the blade to dance
and cut off a hell of a lot more than that.

I'm humming the battle songs a warrior would,
it's been implemented within my mind that I should stay weak.
do not seek help,
keep your toxicity and burrow it into your chest.
if you try your best you can stop the negative energy,
every thought you have is your fault.
you are not a victim,
this is not a matter of assault.
vault over your issues,
be a pretty young woman and cry into your tissues.
we expect that your conditions match those that we have deemed as acceptable,
nobody is allowed to be personalized—your mental illness does not grant you the ability to be special.
you are weak minded,
not blinded by the traumatization.
we don't care what you have endured,
we have lured you into our trap.
we will destroy you because of your mentally ill mishaps,
wrapped you around our finger.
our words will linger around,
you'll recall the exact sound.
you get stuck up on stupid things,
stop pulling on old strings.
if you can't fix yourself you need to be confined,
why should the rest of us listen to you whine?
I am tired,
you have unwired my system that circulates fragility.
you can break all of my bones,
pelt me with the heaviest of stones.
I will rise like the phoenix I have always been,
you are not going to win a game you don't even play.
if I'm not right now,
then I will find a way to someday be okay.

In which maze i was in
I didn t understand
The way i bumped everywere
I don t know whats going on
My brain gets puzzled

And iam here like some stupid person!
Trying to find the way out of this stuff
But i only get bumps
My head seems swollen
And my brain looks unwired
And here iam like some stupid person!
Here iam
science is tryin
but failin for lyin
fallin behind when
your "whats" let the "whys" in

wiser unwired
you couldn't explain why the white light is blinding
why the brain is a function but real thought's in the mind
real collapses
folds into quantum
falls back in your lap kids
beyond synapses,
trackin atlas lookin right at ya
take naps on your textbooks cause the answers are backwords
fold all the colors in half and get left building blackward
halfwits and hat tricks, half of the last wish

the speed of light is firstly faster than sound
but which came first the lost or the found
i've got an opinion, here i'll just jot it down
i like to think about not thinking

I have a headache
And I'm tired
Once I was young
But now I'm unwired

Anymore
Meaning I not

I can accept the truth
Even if it hurts
Maybe that's why I'm tired
But lying makes it worse

Anymore
Meaning it does

You don't mind saying it
It's easy for you  
I have to accept your life
You told me what was true

Anymore
Meaning you are

I took a walk
I could hear the traffic
But I was far away
The trees eased my panic

Anymore
Meaning I was

It's the change
When they don't tell you
You know where you stand
And they do too

Anymore
Meaning I know

Still, I can take it
I'm still the same
If it means to be a man
Then I can't complain

Anymore
Meaning I  won't
The ageing process is happening to me,
The wrinkles are coming
So I can see,
Everything is heading south!
Including my eyes, nose and mouth,
The double chin,
Well that could do with a pin!
The belly needs a tuck,
Or even a lipo ****!
But it’s the aches and pains,
The varicose veins ,
Thank fully I’ve Not got yet,
I sweat!
I need more sleep!
Or I’m in a heap,
I’m always tired
My brain is becoming unwired!
At times!

im getting so tired
my brain seems to be coming unwired
sometimes i tell myself ill sleep when im dead
but i wish i could lay in bed
an drift off to sleep
but the thoughts creep
through my head
they are about the things i use to dread
relationships from the past
when i use to cut
an everything but
the happy thoughts
the times my parents fought an more
my head is sore
from the strain
the pain
of no sleep
not even a peep
i miss sleep :(

Your eyes have lost all colour
No spark, no wonder
Gone cold; left out in the rain
Please tell me what’s wrong
Let me help, I’ll be your emotional drain

What is in your brain?
Unwired computer, let me try again
To help you be you; keep you sane  
let’s fix this malfunction
Can I help you remember your name ?
I am so tired
My brain is unwired
The neurones are not firing
I need rewiring
I need plugging in
Just like an AI
But I wonder why?

— The End —
