Long And then you die Poems

my soul is the shape of a bloodstain

my right eye sits
in the ruby voodoo goblet
that she wears upon her head
Nadine was a 3-toed egg laying harpy
from the cauldron of shame
but she...

Unfair treatment at the hands of a boss 
Power mad, slanderous causing me loss 
Invalidated, worthless and lost, 
Friends disregarding never giving a toss 

Walking alone with no purpose or value 
stuck in a zone...

Promises brake like shattering glass
The night cries out for the light
Stars replaced with water droplets

Can't catch smoke with finger grabs
And when is all said...

Can you see the people moving?
Do you see them fighting?
Not with their arms and fists, stupid,

RELEASE ME

I was cursed by some old witch
Saying, ‘Life’s a  and then you die’

and tell of my sadness
Anyone who’s heard my voice or read my words
would call my life absurd,
I long to feel gladness.

If you look inside my heart

Why are you always in such a hurry?
Here you dart, there you scurry

as if someone is chasing you,
a ghost behind in hot pursuit.

This life is meant for gentle going
tasting each moment while knowing

Summoned by the sunlights song
Silenced at an early age
Dishevelled and displaced in teenage days
Driting in and out of adulthood

Living life within my shell
And cursing those who dare to dwell
Being taught by lifes endless punch
And never...

You live your life and then you die
Why when you die, people cry
   They say you go to a place much better
But the memories, and love make your eyes much wetter
