Dear Logan
Everyone knows it’s supposed to be me and you.
But because somebody decided to hurt me through you.
Now I have to go on without you.
And close my eyes to forget about you so I can survive.

The Person
The person who calls, calls to the person who hears.
The person who asks, asks the person who listens.
The person who confides, confides in the person to trust.
But the person who boasts, boasts to anyone.

Oh Yes Your's Stinks Too
… Oh Yes…. Your Stinks Too!!!
We all know at least one…
The person who self-aggrandises, intent on making others think, feel, and look less than… while falsely building themselves up to be more than…
They remind me of the story, The Emperor's New Clothes. The king obliviously marched around town and down the street with

Personas Limitation
Personas have limits, boundaries veiled by the thin masquerade of pretense
They whisper promises of identity, yet crack under pressure of reality's weight—poet
She puts on her face while vaping smoke surrounds,
Carefully paints fishtail eyes , studs, and crimson lips,
satin scarfs around hug her hips
Bindi adorned when with the Janes
A sterling nose ring pierces

Escaping Death
Escaping Death
(written in a mental hospital)
I escaped from Death today,
And I don't know what to think.
Because when Death comes round and round,
you start to feel his scent and stink.
There are others counting on me now.
I can't let them down, this I know.
So close to Death and yet, so certain-
now

Persona
Persona, a mask we wear, a painted facade,
Protecting the heart, a secret, a code.
Painful truths concealed, a silent plea,
Playing a role, for all to see.
Profoundly, we craft a persona, a shield,
Protecting the soul, a truth concealed.
Power, a tool, to shape the image,
Painting a story, a fabricated image.
Passionate, the mask, a fragile facade,
Playing a role, a

Persona Non Grata
Persona Non Grata
She was persona non grata.
But, very blessed to not know it.
Her loving words, but a naive sonata,
Unaware, she was thought of, as a half wit.
Down God’s

Hating Kamala
They hate her laugh
They hate her style
They hate her staff
They hate her guile
They hate her swagger and generous grin
But above all else,
They hate she just may win!

You
___
You cannot escape yourself,
I know we wish to be someone else.
Comparison is an easy deceiver,
no one is much cleaner,
Everyone has their faults,
Your not the only grain of salt.
No one can share a duplicate identity
that would make you a nonentity.

Persona Non Grata
I am nothing
pariah outcast a worm
I have nothing to offer, nothing of value
except these words
for when I see the sunlight reflect
in your chocolate brown eyes I envision
paradise
eden before the fall
and when you smile you
radiate
all the colors of the rainbow
reds and yellows indigo

Mythologized Sun Child Persona Incarnate
Mythologized sun child persona incarnate
Self actualization materialized
like ghost that came back to haunt me!
Figurative silver lining gleaned
from hyperawareness encompassing
great proportion of my existence.
Agonizing enlightenment points
to realization sweeping across avast arc
(nemesis) analogous as dark shadows
from outer limits of twilight zone.
Plethora psychological woes
(cleaving corporeal essence
of yours

Performer Behind the Glass
Echo world behind the glass,
I make the same faces I did at twelve.
The grinning Cheshire Cat
with teeth like piano keys,
mendacious and coy
because viewing my portrait with sobriety
forces me to march with familiar frailties.
I’m certain my gravitas is a forgery.
I am sure my laments and torments are
playacted animation.
Their drama is loathsome.
Instead,
