Mirage of SanityI never said I was sane. I didn’t claim perfection no, I lean more towards distain. Compare, internalize, never share. Crazy, imperfect thoughts run everywhere but never straight. They don’t play the sane part long enough to call fun, so I can enjoy a day without feeling emotionally imprisoned. Sanity is not a noun that...

Greatest Love StoryIt took many years for me to love me
For rich or for poor the body keeps the score.
Society is always on the go no time to be still,
no time to chill, we are expected to go with the flow
To be authentic, eccentric quirky, society resents this
to be different in society’s eyes is...

The River RunsIt brings to mind a question: why?
Why does the river run?
Does it need to?
Why is it considered peaceful?
And can it be obtained by other means?
And then it fades and the river runs dry.
The red one and the river of my eyes.
I fill the river bank so no one will know.
No one will learn of my...

That NightTears are etched into my face and pillow
In the mirror I see and in self pity I wallow
Memories return from that of last night
To put it simply, the events still cause quite a fright
Put in more complex version
It was a hellish mental excursion...

The Life of a GhostHow can you connect with someone who's just not there?
Like you can sense their presence but all it is is air
The life of a ghost isn't easy
No one notices when you begin to feel sick and queasy
You unwillingly lie with a smile
It takes a while
But you begin to feel the numb
Of the loneliness that you...

The relationships I deserveInspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home.
The relationships I...

Non Compos MentisPain that rips across my head
Like a bullet in the sky
Other problems are the cause
Answers to which belie
Clearly it’s not straightforward
As a multi-faceted mind plight
The road still being navigated
With no clear end in sight
What does it take, one wonders
To strip me from this shell
I must somehow battle endless angst
And fight my way out of this...

The prison he calls homeHis mind was an abyss
Of emotions
And endless questions
Of the world around him
He wasn't much of a speaker
But he was definitely a thinker
His mind was a safe place
Where he could speak freely
Without being harmed
He hated the outside world
He was scared if he stepped outside
He was afraid the racists might strike
So instead he...

She's SickSomeone saw me crying the other day
They didn't know me but asked if I was okay
I sniffled and said someone I know is dying
It's not perfectly true so I feel bad for lying
It's not an old family member or a friend of mine
But it's the me I used to know that's dying
I can't get out...

ShamblesMy life is in shambles
Through the smiles and the rambles
It all slips though my fingers
I can't hold it yet it lingers
To torture and to taunt
My mind seems to flaunt
All that I am not
In the pit of my stomach it will rot
As I fear all I am now
Who I'll become and how
Little me would be so...

Where they insert tubes we won’t speak
Since this causes pain
I wish they’d refrain
Or try going straight not oblique...

The level of toxicity, love, sex and lies, pain, hurt, tears, abuse, disrespect, smiles, fusses,...
