Just how much courage does it take?
To stick to the plan that I’d made
And why should I be afraid?
To live my own destined fate
When all I could do is hate
All the things that I have said
Can’t I just stay in the bed?
With no sorrows and no regret
But the image of it in my head
Keeps on replaying until the end

Smiling unnecessarily just
Cuz you're smiling.
Worried intensely cuz
Your mood is off.
All I want is nothing more
Just a smile on your face,
No worries in your mind
Keeping you happy
All the time,
Am I in love.
Cuz it's the first time
I'm feeling this for anyone
And that's only for you.
Now you tell me
Do you feel the same for me
Or it's just me
Having feelings for you.
It is love, isn't it.

Because you have known,
like you look at my agony growing in it.
While she looks, at the spark she has caused
in the eye of it.
As I moan because of what she does and still
goes on I am fully spent.
And hearing
the wind moan through the trees she as well.
Bushes camouflage the disturbance of the leaves
and still the robin sings too and you do not have to imitate them.
The make up each eye with her almond milk that I drink running down to the sea.
And full of youth, she preens her green lips glossed, assured.
And as for that which with my domestically,
I Agonized over what will forever not be.
While hearing the song that she sings.

Peaked out and everything was covered
White—some things totally invisible—visioning
Helpless immobility burdens, once always conquered:-
Background sunlight caste dull-white shadows
Across whiten, once pale green grass groundings;
Where excited dogs have left frozen scented footprints.
Wow, who would have imagined that warm yesterday
Was, as if fall had challenged winter to show her cold face?
Well, weary winter just burst out in all her agonizing beauty!
And now, here we sit in an even more distancing atmosphere
With its own chilling pandemic overtones of melting running water
Wetting wishful dreams frozen into no-show-snow, slippery tomorrow!

All the pain, the fear
When will the Monster appear?
Where and how severe?
The anxiety
The racing thoughts inside me
Never let me be
My mind’s on fire
The Monster is a liar
Can’t jump much higher
Will I hurt myself?
Could I injure someone else?
Clay pot off a shelf…
Delusions are real
They are my thoughts, how I feel
Daemons never yield
My mind has gone numb
Unfeeling, deaf, blind, and dumb
Zombie I’ve become
The Doppelganger
Trying to take me over
Hour by hour…
Tries to devour
My mind and my will power
Wants me to cower
Bugs crawl in my brain
Legions of the Daemon’s reign
Effect of my bane
Will I still be fine
Surviving the Monster mine?
I just need some time
I must hold and fight
Need to seek and find the light
Then I’ll be alright
Maybe find a priest?
He’ll say some prayers at least
An exorcism?
My best bet is to
Call upon God and Jesus
For the help I need
But it’s very hard
To go in which direction
When you are confused
Doppelganger used
With the Monster I am fused
I’m Deamon abused
Monster’s devotion
Zombies have no emotion
The evolution…
Antagonizing
Monster and Daemonizing
The agonizing…

Here I am, again
The place where it all falls apart
Where the light disappears
For the struggle of my heart
My soul yearns...for pleasure
A nice, sound, ending
To pain, suffering, inconvenience
The incessant blending
...of circumstances, truth, reality, experience
Ugh!!!
There is no freakin' reality
In this world, that can have my heart
Haven't I proven it...enough
Impatience wants to impart
...facts
Nice, another something to add
To the endless monotony of information
I'm exhausted from processing
REVELATION
I want presence...the kind I can hold
Except, experience has taught me well
The moment I possess, I can't enjoy
The passion to live in this sensational hell
Am I from here???
I believe I am a foreigner
In a land of relative friends
Having no tolerance for difference
Or learning how to blend
...without losing composure
I believe I will go to bed
Enough has been said
At least when I sleep
I have no need
...that alludes satisfaction.

Sharp Pains in my chest
a fire started in my throat
the sting of torment inmy eyes
a weary feeling in my heart
those last few words
that horrid look
the bitter sound of your voice
is torture to my ears
a hammer to my heart
a bullet to the brain
can someone please stop him
from causing me this pain?
I promise to never do this again
if I knew that this would happen
it never would have started
I never would have loved you.
I can't hold up any longer
I'm falling out of love.
is this how heartbreak feels?
it hurts...
I'll never love again.

Making Agonizing Choices
By Elton Camp
It’s a fact about which many are unaware
But there are millions of examples out there
Old people who aren’t able to hold a job
But struggle not to let it their dignity rob
Long ago gone is their modest nest egg
And they’d rather die than have to beg
Their Social Security checks are too small
Much they need, they can’t afford at all
They must decide how their funds are spent
Shall it be for food or should I pay the rent
And medical care they are forced to forgo
To pay the cost, they don’t have the dough
In winter to stay in bed by night and day
Since for a high heating bill they can’t pay
Meat once in a while they would find nice
But they must get by with beans and rice
No hope of better can most of them see
Until death mercifully sets them free

My mind is in constant torment.
You say you love me, and she's a friend.
You say there is nothing to worry about.
Why then, is my heart clouded with doubt?
Intrusive thoughts plague my inner being..
Every smile, every word uttered, I go on imaging..
I want to bury my turbulent mind in a deep coffin.
So, I do not have to, continually cry and think so often.
Why do I ask questions to add fuel to the “ammo?”
You answer all my questions but, do I really know?
You still come home and sleep in my bed.
Then why does my heart continue to feel “misled?”
When you leave; my heart grows empty.
The green monster starts in again, with unending ifs of agony.
