Loneliness Is FreedomLoneliness Is Freedom
Roam where you want.
Only paying for one.
No one's opinion needed.
No one is barking over your shoulder.
It’s quiet with no drama.
My shadow walks beside me.
I can be lazy without feeling guilty.
There's never an argument.
Just a peaceful environment.
Loneliness is freedom.
Plenty of time to...

IlluminationI escape to a shiny lake
where waters are calmer,
my mistakes are not raked
and the nights are warmer.
Without sting rays
and cold-ness of days,
This town is deserted
buildings flood vacancies
I dream of flirtation
and of illumination,
so much for singularity,
bringing one to peace.
Thoughts are floating
like ashes in the summer.
I begin playing,
A lost & found harmonica....

Weight of the Lonliness
I sit alone, the room is still,
No laughs, no joy at all .
The clock ticks loud, the night feels long,
I hum a tune, a wordless song.
I walk outside, the streets are bare,
The stars above don’t seem to care.
I wave at shadows, talk to air,
But no one’s here, and no one’s there.
The phone is quiet, the...

AnxietyAnxiety, the constant feeling of doom
Its like you can’t even come out of your room
most days I’m panicky and anxious
and I think to myself it’ll never get better
I get told quit being so under the weather
So I try to think about things that make me happy but my brain starts to fade...

Road To Rock BottomRock bottom is a dark lonely place
One people will pray to never see
It's overflowing with the lowest lows
Reminding you of a life full of misery
The select few who are exiled there
Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone
With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness
This road is where desperation is...

Some Wounds Want WitnessMy darkest needs
never beg forgiveness—
they crave a mirror.
One that fogs
with your touch,
not your abandon.

Enough For Now, Enough ForeverEnough, he said with voice pitched low
Enough for now, he whispered slow
And curled in upon himself
Having nothing left to show
Knowing no one and nonself
Enough, he cried though no one heeded
Enough for now, as he retreated
And left another piece behind
Having no faith to be intreated
Perceiving his own broken mind
Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor
Enough for...

GhostWhere Am I? It's dark.
Rain? No Its tears.
Help me I'm afraid.
Hello is anyone here?
Why can't I see you?
the nightmare won't stop.
I reach out to the skies.
The wind pushed me off.
I can't stop falling.
The water below catch me.
I am suffocating hear me.
Listen to my screams pour out.
The fire is burning me?
Who am I?
So why can't...

Words That I Can't SayI wander the streets that my feet know you've roamed
Back when you were still here and this city still felt like home
I search for your shadow - love, where did you go?
Without you, I'm nothing, so I turn to what I know
Which is broken keys, broken melodies
A broken song for a broken me
I'm tongue-tied, can't...

GhostGhost
Do you ever feel like a ghost?
No one sees you in the window.
Walk like a silhouette.
With candles lit.
Another faded soul.
Nobody knows.
Sounds echoes in silence.
A ghost in the mist.
A lonely life.
Daunting in the night.
No one in sight.
The wind passes you by.
No one says...

This Morning(On Father's Day)
Like most mornings, I awoke,
Got out of bed on the left side.
Not sure if that was the wrong side,
But I know for certain,
It wasn’t the right side.
Aloneness is sort of that way—
No offer of a second opinion,
No pat-on-the-back save a broken arm,
No meaningful conversation around the table.
A moment of nihility—this morning.

lunchroom thoughtswhere did all of the friendly faces go?
the people i was just gossiping to in my math class?
the people who i've stayed up all night talking to?
the people that i would trust if my life depended on it?
i guess they're gone.
their tables full of girls who look exactly the same.
high pitched laughter at some stupid...

cruel masterssometimes there are cruel masters
who sneer and inflict pain for no reason at all.
i do not know where they come from — why do they come at all — or where they go
and so i am always afraid.
today i awoke and felt anxious and sad
i wondered, “will it get worse?”
the sunlight is pure truth

Another One of Those DaysLooking out my bedroom window,
I can only see the happy souls,
and the path I bear is the feared,
since 20 and only in second gear,
I just wish for the butterflies,
I can only see in the twilight,
caught between there and here,
the flowing of and then dried up tears,
I don't cry any-more.
There once was insight that did delight,
but...
