When he lost, he wanted to kill, maim,...

They grieve for peaces
But yet keep drowning in pieces
Will they ever...

Are the beginning of my happy...

The Silver Dollar
Beth was by no means
Ignorant or slow
She worked in the saloon
But that wasn't always so
She grew up in the East
With her pride and position
Then made her way out West
And ended up...

LiesTrue love, you promised
You and I, through time
Our bodies were bound,
You told me it was forever
But our pulse was just a fever dream
You never believed
You said I was an orchid
To beautiful to leave
That you...

A Man's Crime: He CriedIf we don't forget about gender when enlisting

PaintingThe paintbrush is my razor,
The paper is my wrists,
I deserve the pain,
I shrug my shoulders and I insist.
The day you died,

The pain you caused I won’t ever live with,

their fear redescends
The cross is made ready,
like ages before
The nails though still rusty,

rejecting the fact
The last one they crucified…
alive and...

every kind of animal,
it didn't matter; he loved them all!
He had rabbits, pigeons, hamsters, and a raccoon.
The boy kept them well-fed,
cleaned their cages every day
and was sure they...

is preying on your own
Jackal, politician,
mercenary, or priest
Their cloak of deception
hiding unspoken lies
Approaching your doorstep

I cannot fathom
The pain is fatal
Lost all my breaths
Climbing up the hill
Proclaiming I am healed
Nobody was there
To hear and listen
Already forsaken
I longed for a...

Learning YoungLearning Young
From back when I was 7 and 8,
When candy bars cost 5 cents,
And “being polite” meant
Even to strangers. The wrinkled,
Baggy, old man, who
Lived in the basement apartment
Next-door, with the...

Remember Last AprilRemember last April
When I was basically incapable of practically anything?
Except for doing drugs to keep my sanity within my reach
I’d sit in my room and hide
Pretty much every night
It’s sad to say,...
