The taste of iron clings to my tongue,
sharp and thick,
like something pilled from the earth's deepest wound,
cold as the air that cuts through my lungs
freezing each breath before it can leave my chest,
Winter has a way of making everything feel like glass
Brittle, sharp, waiting to shatter.
My lips are cracked, numb
And I can feel the weight of the cold in every step
a blanket of frost on my shoulders,
the world silent but for the creek of old bones
and stinging of frozen skin.
Every inhale burns, leaving a metallic taste
A reminder of something forgotten.
Something old and bitter.
The sky hangs low, heavy with gray
as though it too is choking on the cold,
unable to swallow the weight of the passing days.
And still, I move through it -
through the biting wind,
through the haze of something I cannot name.
Leaving behind tracks in the snow,
each one swallowed by the cold,
erased before it can matter.
The taste of blood - salt and iron
mingles with the frost on my lips
and I wonder
does anyone else feel it?
The way the world is paused,
frozen between breaths,
waiting for something to break.

The president is charged and convicted
Corrupt senators are handcuffed
Greedy congressmen are imprisoned
Prostitution is doomed and prohibited
And the constitution is amended.
The Justice department is doing its job
There will be more details
After the morning chronicles
This is clean up time, all the morons
Are locked up. It is the end.
It's the end of corruption
The streets are clean like the host
There is no more prostitution
The people are elated. Life is beautiful
All the corrupt are in prison.
Long live Our Darling Country!
Long live the impoverished
Betrayed, insulted, humiliated
Pilled and suffocated Mother Land!
P.S. We are obligated to tell the TRUTH.

I did tell you before
About all the things that made me cry
and made my heart sore.
I remember begging you to never lie
as lies had torn me apart in the past.
Your assurance seemed so true
I just never knew it wouldn’t last.
and you never gave out any clue.
Or maybe because I betrayed myself
and chose to believe you.
Just like a new book pilled on a shelf
I allowed you to use me, too.
You enjoyed turning me all over
Forgetting how relieved I was when you took me
and swore to give a hand only to give me a cold shoulder.
Your “I love you” texts made me feel appreciated
Little did I know, I wasn’t the only one receiving them.
When I was smiling over your text
Someone else was smiling for them also.
I’ve seen people go through this ‘falso’.
I did not think I was next.
That’s funny right? Now everything’s complicated,
I should’ve know that loving is a cherem.
Cherem- something given over to the lord or under a ban
Falso- Spanish word translating to false or fake in English.

My life fell apart
After 2035
After all the rest of
My brothers did die
I pissed on their graves
Though I shoulda been dead
With all the negativity
Swimming In my head.
One drank more than I
One pretended to be free
One left us for years
And one left was just me.
Turns out that health
And living the good life
Meant more than just kale
And juicing and no strife.
I drank myself stupid
Every day and hour in
While those without God
Lead lives of pure sin.
They all died before me
I sit at their stones
And finish my beer
But I'm never alone.
I did nothing wrong,
Yet did nothing right.
I laughed at their chase
Of the good better life.
All day, everyday,
I drank and pilled
All day everyday
I lived to be killed.
Bye bye brothers
Bye bye friends
Bye bye yesterday
Bye bye till the end.

I got taught that demons were these evil beings
Full of hate and sin
And they are but so are we
they used to be human
just like you and me
No one gave them a second chance
They all just went mad
They lost their humanity
they lost the path
They all fell down lower
into the pits of hell
Flames pilled high
Smoke acts like clouds in the sky
Ash is like the oxygen in our lungs
Just know that the most common sin we all have
It would most likely be Greed
It is easy to long for more
For better
You get worse as you go
We all want what's best
Sometimes we want it a little too much
We get it
then it gets plucked
right out of our very hands
Just out of reach
Get a grip
You can't
If I die
I want to try
To go further down
Then even the Devil himself
So that he can't reach me
as he did with my soul
Just out of reach
He can't get me now

There was a mouse wanting out of the cold
Scurried up the lead pipe wrapped up in old
Blankets. Feeling safe and warm
Fell asleep whilst the ice storm
Came. Blankets pilled, among ice cube mold.
Out in the yard the frozen mouse was thrown.
Cat meowed, goody a mouse all my own.
Sun came out and thawed the mouse,
Lickety split in the house.
Dumbfound meow empty paws left alone.

I never have the right words to say..
It feels the people i look up to, look at me then look away..
Im not formal enough, nice enough..
just blunt and straight up in a world that's f**ked up
Maybe im like RZA and just dont give a F**k
Might as well go silent as im treated invisible anyway
Like the girl i crushed on in 11th grade..
She only loathed me and made my sky feel gray
My voice doesnt mean anything to anyone as i shout out the pain in black matter
A cosmic stir inside my soul storms and sends my heart beats off course
The sun flares like the ends of my hair, bringing to life my own personal nightmares
A gift to the world for the loneliness i feel
Or maybe its just a coincidence and i need to be blue pilled...
All i know is im breaking on the inside as the outside markings stain my skin
Tattoos from my reminiscence of days spent
Sevens they look like as i ponder it... Skyrim shout words of power..something i wish my soul could do as i hold the pain within
Another perfectly vain, veiny friend.
Another thing they will mock me for im sure
Until the end

Had a smirk of sorrowful clarity
Someone dancing on my grave.
And a artist
The night was gathering materials.
Knowing ambition for pleasure
Would never fill the pit.
The night called for a burn
All the grasped boxes of blankets
Nostalgic wood, Rhapsodies of a ratt-packen
Journals, binders, scraps of thoughts
Nick-knack volumes of prophets
Overdosing on written salvation
Hoping for a instance coffee relief
A always, never the fallow-through
More is pilled, the mix of kindling
Dirty-bits, and old yearnings
A stone from a beach, of first love
Scrapbooks of holding mortality
**** mags, and bed follies pics
A secrete place a catholic boy goes
My heap inter-mixed with nature
All of it dead, until the match
Erupts a fire enjoying feeding
Impermanence is really scarred
So is observing the flame
Hypnotic destruction is fire at night
Eyes dance to flares refection
Chaotic colors of visible heat
A calm abiding trance
Warm glowed my garments
In ambers consuming to ash

hit rock bottom
fell into a whole
of one's own making
created from years
of mistakes that
have pilled up
atop one another
creating an emotional
cave in creating a
grand canyon sized
whole to be constructed
within the land of
the past self's missteps

guilty until
proven innocent
never once
innocent until
proven guilty
seemed to be
the standard
practice within
this maladaptive
relationship
guilty verdicts
pilled up within
the heart
till one day
there was
no space
left over for
love to reside
anymore it
had been pushed
out by contempt

issues pilled up upon one another
overtaking the river that lay underneath
the bridge that connected the two internal
lands
issues rained down like asteroids
crashing into the river that lay
underneath the bridge that connected the two
internal lands
created title waves of internal pain
created a overflowing of the emotional river
that ran across the internal landscape
