I got you on my mind 
You got me hooked to you, you're sublime and I am no longer blind
By temporary infatuations that were not to be
By scary, horrifying nightmares of blasphemy 
Be not afraid...
I'm...

But his erratic flying audition brought him, only buckets of Whoa!
They told him to come back later, whenever he learns to, better fly.

A few weeks ago, about 9:00 AM
My head started aching; loss my vigor & vim
It’s didn’t let up; just got more intense
At midnight to the hospital I went

In the ER and seeking some relief
Had to...

I'm feeling bad in an incredibly fixable way
All I need is human connection
But it's a kind of selfish pain, nothing wrong

We could all walk round fixing pains like this for others too embarrassed and ashamed...

The inerrancy of the bible enrages me, 
Boils my blood, riles me and angers, 
Makes the interpretation prerogative limp, 
Nullifies that interpretation bud passed onwards, 
From every author who’s not embarrassed. 

You read knowing the...

Apparently far from tacit
Near endless racket
In day light and pitch blackness
For the sane and those in strait jackets

Dammit
Still sporadic
 Caught in transit
Can't rely on magic
Nor give up when it all turns tragic
It's just madness
Even though...

Torn, shattered, shredded inside, beyond restoration, your ignored all the time. Begging to be seen, wanting to be fixed. Saddened with despair, part of you is missing, a piece of you is gone. You've changed,...

It's said that eyes are the windows to the soul.
She covers hers with brightly colored curtains.
People look in and see happiness and sunshine.
It isn't that she isn't happy because really she is.
But as it goes...

Someone who knows someone
and someone i used to know
they posted these moving photographs
on some social media interwebs
And i woke from a dream in such a start
to unknowingly know her voice again

Time is a rye, in this ill world of lies
we lead our lives, blinded by the tides
unable to subside our undeniable flaws,
our undeniable selfishness.

The power of one...they say, they say
The power of all, to become...

I am not a
“pretty little thing”.
My mind is dark
and my voice cracks when I sing.
 
I am not beautiful;
I have wanted to kill
more times than I have wanted to love.
My heart works that way, doesn’t...

A world caught up in being digital
And far too political
Full of all these imbeciles
Certain problems beyond clinical
Not so easily fixable
It's typical
To relate it toward something biblical
Need proof for the truth otherwise it's fictional
Therefore admissible

Far too...

The left hands we carry,
that imitates so well what
we call ‘the right’
keep telling us
there is nothing to it,
because they can do it,
and eventually they will
correct whatever it was
that caused the problem
of not being able to...

I am a wall
Not the brick kind
The wall that separates
Babies from adults
Dogs from children
Dens from kitchens
Hate from love

An inner wall
Neat, my plaster
Smooth my paint
Hollow my insides
Held together by nails
And sometimes pictures
Pictures that show families
The good...

Catching feelings
There no cure for this type of love
It's a disease without a antidote
It's can be dangerous if not carefully planned out
You can choose to go through it
Or remain celibate for the rest of your...

It does not take infinite wisdom
To fix our prison system
Or an act from the Almighty
To right our society
Revenge is a great word to use
When you wanna stop the abuse
We will call it justifiable homicide
When you...

They told me to write
To write what was on my mind
But what was on my mind
Could not be wrote.
There aren't enough words to describe my thoughts
There isn't enough time to write whats on my mind

On top of the world, I stand so tall,
Feeling the wind and hearing the call,
A sense of freedom, a rush of joy,
As if I can conquer all and be coy.

The view from here is panoramic,

It was visible
That he was a strange individual
Because he followed his own principles
And never believed in anything biblical or political

To some that was unforgivable
And despicable

Yet hardly anything he ever did was criminal or typical
And most...
