ShadowsIn darkness thus shadow’d with a keyring flashlight.

The bed, a boat.
The waves of massive shadows in caves.
They growl and groan after midnight.
Bested by the harrowing shadows,...

Abused and bemused
So taken advantaged of
Accused…took the blame
Amused by muses
Strifeful peace don’t mix too well

Crippled and confused
Delicately decaying
Bruised feelings…screwed loose…
Collapsed suddenly
Guess this is goodbye for now
Burdened — in...

HELPLESSHopeless…I’m a mess of distress
Even if it means having hopefulness,
Loved and lived life hopelessly…helplessly dying…crying…lying to myself…

Why?Why do good things take so long to die?
How Come once they're gone I feel like so am I?
As if I exist only for their sake,
Not real merely fake.
Do I not stand alone?

Take ControlI fear people have lost their way;
now, hatred and lies rule the day;
our morels faded over time.
Purchasing political will;
cult leaders are prepared to kill,
perpetuating fear through crime.
They claim that they believe in God,
but that declaration...
