Trigger Poems

Trigger

let me be the danger you carry around
darling place your gun on my head
pull its trigger when it feels too much
even if i'm hanging by the thread

I'm bleeding while lying on the ground
my imbecile lover's sword in my chest
let go of my hand and don't be my savior 
save yourself before heaven falls upon us

END TIMES : TWO

END TIMES : TWO

End time dramas continue 
to unfold as foretold 
tribes of Judah and 
Gad united in ether
descending conspiring 
to pull Matrix strings 
across rooms boom
death Will hidden 
documents forged
a trigger activates
illicit action
Centre remains perfection 
resurrection 

Claim no marriage for 
money honeyed 
both are paper thin
dust speckled dragonflies 
glide into geraniums cry
Truth mourns 
hen-chicken

Survivor

I still remember the day you stole my innocence away.
The world shifted—
colors drained from golden light to endless shadow.

It started as a simple conversation,
slowly pulling me down to your basement.

I was only 13 years old
when you left me to walk home on shaking legs.

At first, I thought I deserved it—
because fear stole my words before

Premium MemberTrigger Fingers

I’ve got a thesaurus and a gun
arming torpor trigger fingers;
Poetry at point blank range,
silver bullet savage;
Deliberate verse
detonated,
you never 
felt the
hit.

Africa is a shotgun
The origin of all civilization
Nigeria is the Trigger
But its a long shot
Awaiting the rise of the giant 
  Of the dark continent
Oh !! Africa how long shall
  Wait for your emergence.

Premium Memberon the way to trigger land

On the way to trigger land
Not only did I get lost
But I misplaced my gun

My children laughed
Knowing I never had one
I talk tough when I feel vulnerable

Seeing through me,
They wondered what was wrong
Had I gone off my medication?

I am older now
Alzheimer’s could come calling at any moment
After all it took my dad didn’t it?

My mind

Premium MemberTriggered by Truth

To those who reject it 
Truth is a trigger
While to those who embrace it
Truth is a glimmer
Of the light and love and joy
That so utterly and simply
Is what it means 
To be alive

Devil's pet

When you placed your hands on the littles ones thigh,
When they saw your shadow in stead of theirs,
When they glanced up at you, adoration and want radiating from their eyes,

There goes your rotten mind misinterpreting that,

Oh how could the little one know that your heart rested a lewd demon,

When you offered them a place to

Trigger

Why you don't want me?
why do you prefer to be alone?
why it is better to go back
and live the way you lived before?
why you don't like me?
why do you have to go?
why I feel the same way 
I've felt since I was born?

I know it is not you
I know it is my past
I know you

Trigger Warning : Self Harm

As the room closes in,
my heart begins to pound,
body begins to shiver.

With every cut,
a story told,
in crimson lines
emotions unfold.

But in the darkness,
there's a light,
a glimmer of hope,
shining bright.

For within the scars,
resilience lies.

To those who are hurting, 
I hear you,
I see you.

I miss this parting wish

these carnal desires will see me expire 
inseperately stained from this foul game 
of avoiding the smallest pricks of pain, 
growing rage for making me play 
with these machinations inside my brain, 
artificial aspirations alienate the cause 
and effect, misdirect these things we call laws 
it's so flawed, I can't move on 
I'm weighed down

Brother Monster

(Trigger SA)

To think we are related feels like a crime,
Knowing all those god awful things but doing no time,
Makes me feel sick to my stomach,
That you belly ache laugh free of your sentence,
Relatively speaking you are my brother,
But in my eyes, 
Your truly nothing but a monster,
To you it's not age, or gender, as long
