Still Paralyzed
Time wasn't on her side, for if it were, I'd still be alive
Time caught up to her and strangled her, strangling me
A hangman's noose wrapped around our necks,
snapping them like brittle winter twigs
I breathe, but I died when she died
When the stool was swept from beneath her feet,
My whole

I have the will to conquer the world,
Yet I find I cannot move.
I freeze in thought,
I’m paralyzed,
A motion-
Heavy-
None.

Space Suit
Trapped in my space suit
Tied down to the launching pad
Terrorized by the rocket
Paralyzed to the surface
The cold surface of my skin
Basks in the judgmental sun
Strapped in my race boot
A dyed gown around my chest
A hard place and a rock, it
Seems I stand in perturbance
Fervidness of my kin
Tasks my legs to jump the gun
My chest strains

Paralyzed
The same old feeling,
Greets me once again,
It’s weight has me stumbling,
It fills me with disdain,
How many times have I felt this pain?
Why won’t I learn these lessons,
No matter what I go through,
I have died so many times,
I thought pain was supposed to purge you,
Why wont this hurt,
Manifest some motivation,
Translate my suffering,
Into my salvation,
Why can’t

Paralyzed Petals
Welcome to the circus
of discrimination-
where soft subtle glances
and fragrant
touches of femininity
are burnt in ashes,
through howling rays
from the sinister sun,
triggering wildfire
chaos,
conquering and controlling
roles of women;
endlessly shape-shifting
from predatory postures
of pretend protectors,
that twist and turn
tangled heartstrings
from a patriarchal pantomime
of their treacherous charade,
obnoxiously oppressing
obscured boundaries,
with their art of arrogance,
placing labels upon
our need for freedom
as sheer

Paralyzed
Obscured by an air of grief
Waves of unending gloom
Followed by a deep sense of dread
The world pours itself down an endless pit of doom
Every word belies itself at it's inception
Torn in two by the speaker
A cantacerous clammering inside, yearning for truth
Every day a another lie, making us stronger yet weaker
One moment a feining of the

Paralyzed
The black clouds filled with thunderous rain,
Tore through the fields below.
Grass once covered with colorful blooms,
Now wilted from the murderous pour.
Lightning flashed from above,
Lighting up the night sky.
The tears covering her cheeks,
Glistening in the night.
The wind howled from all around,
Blowing away with the happiness she once held.
The sea waves

Paralyzed
This room is not the same after the steel is taken away.
Steel that pierces like a dull ice pick.
When the lights are off elusive shadows haunt
So elusive they cant be seen.
Why must the torcher continue.?
That's a question that has an answer that yet eludes.
Defining insanity is without a doubt my profession.

No words from my pen.
Want inner peace, and amen.
Plus, God's rules, all ten.

Paralyzed Yet I Walk In My Father's Garden-
I am paralyzed
I can't move
Yet I rise I walk
With golden shoes
My beating heart
Starts not stops
I am paralyzed
Still yet I walk
I walk in heaven
I walk through paradise
I walk with Eagles Wings on my back
I walk though paralyzed
God carries me
Jesus walks before me
Rise my Daughter
Rise my Son
Come walk with me

Paralyzed
Moving on was the hardest thing I’ve had to do.
For it’s been too long and I still see home with you.
I can’t no more, move past this place I’ve come,
as I am paralyzed, set in things I’ve done.
But if language was just, not so odd and poor,
perhaps I’d draw the cries that scream on through.
And

dark
dark
dark
dark
no light
no sound
until
the monsters growl
they wake up when I wake up
they approach me
when my body is asleep
I find their shadows
they look at me
I open my eyes
turns out
I'm still alive
tonight wasn't the night
heart stops racing
I'm going to be all right

Too Paralyzed To Run
Black
silence
wakes me up
spooky feeling
my heart beats eighty miles an hour
who and where I am does not register
hyper hearing
kicking in
fast heart
fear
noise
sudden
startles me
outside door creaks
too paralyzed to run I wait for it
