just being born
and later shock of near death,
physical and mental,
natural and spiritual,

grew up into a global syndrome
of sad neglect
toxic fueling chronic...

In light of good memory of how things were, a woman stands unguarded. 
Pleasantries, talents, and secretive skills.

I'm sad. 
I love you. 
Why are you angry?
Why do you think I'm so wrong?
I think you're wrong.

This Body
Those on the bottom can see but can’t act,
Those on the top can act, but can’t see,

Sing, O Goddess, of my petulant wrath.
That which I’ve failed to address for so long.

But it’s hard to.
Because, you know what?
As if mine were the heart torn in two,
As if I was the one to hurt and suffer
By your hand.
Eff that man,

For it scares them far...

I need you to need me,
So I can be happy.
I just want to help,
Let me love you,
Let me care for you.

I’ll be yours for as long...

A difference between co-dependent feel-good rallies
and interdependent revolutions
is also the difference
between Negative LoseLose bipolarity
and Positive WinWin Energy,
dipolar co-arising.

CoDependency is a double-binding
tolerance of addictive mendacity
sharing common grounds of fear and anger and, eventually, hate
with corresponding lack...

My heart was crying out
And blood has poured over
I've invested so much in us
And now I'm the wounded soldier
I am over it all and I'm no longer trying
Now you are alone and the only one...

Her logic binds with golden ties and strands of silken thought
her elocution sparkles, it's a skill she has been taught.
Her lies are better than the truth, a drug that dulls defenses,
And I give up my...

Looking out the window
The skies look gloomy
Feeling empty inside
Screaming out in silence 
Unhappy with this companion 
Felt like I bare you in this world
Your presence feel like labor pains
Leaning on me, I need an epidural...

I want to write to you the endless paragraphs I dream about sending you,
Then shut the door behind and never look back but what good will it bring?

You’re too good for me, and I hate...
