angry verbs go rogue
no matter how softly spoke
estrangements invoke
lurking cold as ice
gray emptiness can entice
psyche pays the price
assessing regret

Afraid of my PenI'm afraid of my pen,
It opens me up for everyone to see.
My pen just flows with the thoughts that I think.
Sometimes good sometimes bad,

From The Bottom Of The CupI've toiled in shadows, my hands calloused and worn,
Laboring silently, my spirit tattered and torn.
For the promise of pennies, I've bent my back low,
While the masters of plenty reap what I sow.
They say, "Be content,...

boiling down this life
using memory as knife
won't halt inner strife
trying to avoid
staring straight into the void
ego was destroyed
filling empty lines

In 2025, the world ended
With the collapse
Of the worldwide climate system.

Had no rain or snow
For almost a whole year
The once-green...
