When losing you is losing me

The hours have dissolved
Like sugar in my many cups
And, all thats left are
Jumbled words and ideas.

Objects

Objects

Objects devoid of
definite shape are 
responsible, with the loyal aid of 
tree roots, and to 
bagpipe music, for the 
breakdown of
the 
Western Roman Empire (467 AD).

Breakdown

Back against the wall 
her knee's pulled tightlly to her chest 
holding them tightly she burries her head
ask herself why 
tears roll down her face.
no kneeles to comfort her
no one knows

Premium Member After the Breakdown On Rat Race Road

Use at your own risk!
Recommend durable tires
and a durable psychology. 
I know, I know, I know
that I can't live 
through it again.
That's why I'm walking, 
watching my feet
in my red-rubber shoes.

Premium Member Reason to Pray

   Had my nervous breakdown early today
     Good. At least that's out of the way

   Told my shrink he might want to pray
     If his advice was any good
                     ~ he would've been paid

Two Worlds Colliding

Major breakdown
an emergency call
rushing to the plant

on my table
under the candle
an unfinished poem

Hierarchy

Violence under anarchy
Anarchy under my screams
Screams under a mental breakdown
Breakdown under chronic daydreams
Dreams under an uprising
Uprising under retribution
Retribution under pain
Pain under God
God under Me.

Avenues of Life

The avenues of life,
and it's trials of strife.

Wrong roads taken,
dreams that have been shaken.

Broken heart and tears a falling,
all night long and into the morning.

Leaving this old town,
before I have a breakdown.

                           Help me breakdown these walls

Premium Member Tis the Season

It's the holidays in Tinseltown
Let's have no one wear a frown
Children are worried about to have a nervous breakdown
We've searched the land both up and down
And cannot find if Santa's been around

Nightmare Collides With Dream

nightmare collides with dream
they work together to help me 
to see

what the visuals are look like 
static having a nervous breakdown

when clarity begins to make itself 
useful, it is always then that i realize
where i actually am

Premium Member Anatomy of a Breakdown

     too many choices
     whispered voices
     
     nagging doubts
     indecision sprouts
    
     anxiety flips
     paralysis grips

     nervous breakdown
     brain shuts down

     lowered into the ground 
     world yet goes ‘round

Premium Member My Car

A car is for me a thing so practical
Having as aim to take me to places
For me, it should be easy, soft
Economical and environment friendly as well
See, a car is much needed
Fancy cars don't lure me
Simple and user friendly
Never to breakdown
My car
Defectless!

HUMAN BREAKDOWN



     Total freedom of expression
  that incites death, suicide,
     and destruction.
  it is not freedom, but terrorism...,
      subservience
       and slavery...
    it is not a thing of God...
  BUT RATHER A FAILURE...
   A HUMAN STUPIDITY!

Humanity collapse...

Healing

I don’t hear them anymore.
The voices have slowly faded away.
I’m now beginning to realise that the fears,
and the strange thoughts inside my head,
were delusions built on paranoia.

Oh the peace the relief is indescribable.
They was no one there,
only me.
I had been sick...
