Against the Grain

This is me
A guitar with no strings
A glass half empty
A bad bean
The blackest sheep

I am in pain
Inside I howl like a grieving mother
Like im decapitated and now my limbs are off. 
I am in pain just like that
But why cant I ever be felt?

Its terrible
Spilling...

Against the Grain

A delicate balance to maintain
    He carves out his position against the grain

  Spurning extremes, clinging to the center
    Scorned by all, ridiculed forever...

Against the Grain

7/23/17


Here then gone, like poof!
Below the floor and above the roof


On par, falling behind or ahead of the game
Going with or against the grain


Getting it wrong and right

Still here or evaporated
Spoken truly or exaggerated
Continually being...

Where's his (my) Oscar?
Hello friends!
Failure is the only option

Hello/Goodbye: poetry
in the House of Antithesis
Hell needs...

Against the Grain

I used to be strong and defy your pompous authority,

Constructing a future

With a pleasant

Granular flow..

The plan of a

Reformer

Progressive

Self helper..

Stories of resistance

Against the grain

Already freedom......

Unfinshed

A SATANIC PERSON FOUND A FAULT IN A MAN
HE FOUND OTHERS TO GATHER AND
THEY SORTED THRU WORDS
TO MAKE THERE CAMPAIGN RIGHT
AND SPOKE TO GET THE MAN
INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE
WOULD WORK AGAINST HIM
HAVE REVEAL HIS
THOUGHTS DREAMS AND DESIRES
THESE SATANS GATHERED HIS WORDS
AND NEVER SPOKE OF SATAN AS...
