OVER THE INFLUENCE
My lungs fill as I inhale the smoky haze of the September breeze.
Overcast skies stare down on me until the guilt drenches my bones.
A puppet to the pressures of most I cannot control, gnawing at my ears until the only thing I hear is the deafening sound of my own thoughts.
I no longer wish to

DEAR FRIEND,
THE END IN FRIEND HITS THE DEEP END,
THE SHADOW I USED TO DEFEND,
AT PRESENT I HAVE NONE TO DEPEND,
ITS AS IF ALL YOU DID WAS PRETEND.
DEAR FRIEND,
WITH THE SHADOWS OF YOU I SPENT,
ALL YOU LEFT WAS A PAINFUL DENT,
CURRENTLY ALL I CAN DO IS VENT,
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO SERPENT.
DEAR FRIEND,
I NOW

Do you now feel at ease?
Do you now feel at ease?
When it's all said and done
When you've seen and loved
Saw the darkest side of life
And even questioned the sands of time
When you looked up in the sky
And acknowledged the beauty of the sun
Seen storms imbibe people and trees
How did you feel?
When you sometimes had friends
But sometimes thought you

I Vent My Anger To The Sea
I was born and always lived
In the Surigao Strait, this stormy sea,
On the shore there are usually trees,
When there is a storm and the noise of the trees,
It's an extraordinary feeling.
I always came to the cliff in the evening
To a deserted place and shouted to the sea
That there

Without the pain, who i am?
It’s past 2 am again,
And there's an itch in my chest,
Not for sleep, not for peace,
but for complete numbness.
I don’t know how long i’ve been lying here,
scrolling, staring, spiraling,
begging my thoughts to stop chewing me alive.
Every corner of my mind feels bruised
But all i’ve done is exist.
i keep saying i don’t want

As I Vent On You This Hot-Born Sexual Fire
As I Vent On You This Hot-Born Sexual Fire
As nights were thin with desperate longings-
Vacancy raps such emotional ties
I sit here now nude, devoid of my belongings
Cursing the raging red-devil that flies
I have molded statue, image so vain
Whispers flow from its giant dead fingers
And the evening shadows do deeply pain
I watch as love's brilliant sunset

A Spiral
i want to tear my body into ribbons
and watch myself cascade down onto the floor
i cannot keep reforming myself just to fall apart again
efforts to maintain a stasis in composure are wasted on this anxiety-ridden mind
my legs are still writhing in pain
my chest hasn’t ceased its tightening
i don’t understand it
i can’t keep this up
i

Masks
Behind the masks
We are safe
From epidemics
Behind the masks
Thieves and robbers
Being not recognised
Are safe too
Behind the masks
Voices become indistinct
Dining becomes inconvenient
Smiling hidden
Anger has no vent
Sorrow and despair overlooked
Beauty not appreciated
Behind the masks
Just like the politicians and cheaters
Never show their real faces
But don't worry
God always read your hearts
But not your

Apocalyptic Love
There'll be no bets placed
None to make it up to you
None to suffice the ending of our story
Was it love or just you wanting to objectify someone
This was apocalyptic in the end
It was good for so long
Due to my blindness
And your forcing a foreign behavior upon me
Someone I am not, someone I haven't been

The Vent
Requite is unavoidable at times unless necessary
some present and won't expect anything back in return
it's a reputable thing to practice if arbitrary
there are people that don't and expect downturn
My husband wants his money back and will lend it
I don't bestow and clutch things to advocate
we differ on that so we don't let people borrow we

Night Vent
Awake too soon
awake in the dark
dark too familiar to fear
first foe, now friend
minutes pass like falling snow
time stopped
sun looming
sun lurking
somewhere near
out of sight
passing beneath my feet
circling
circling
great
white
coming at me fast
ready to seize me with the sharp enamel of its rays
I sit
In the dark
Awake
in the dark
Watching the sleeping wind roll over in its blanket of leaves
But

Despair Vent
Where are all the women
the moon-eyed lionesses,
the stampeding herds of udders, vulvas, and horns
that tears the earth and trampled the serpents and scorpions?
Where are the mother bears that rip the ruby bark from the bodies of predators?
Where are all the women
ready to drown bad men in their menses?
Where are the Valkyrie
spears held high
iron breasts

Was Awakened Then Tried To Vent
Was Awakened Then Tried To Vent
Had been awakened then tried to vent;
Made no difference wherever we went;
Budget brewing;
Ended up doing,
So much more money would be spent.

VENT
Those 4 letters hold the key,
They’re the fundamental difference between you and me.
For you are not woman,
You are a man.
You try to fix things,
I throw toys out the pram.
No solution is needed for every problem that's made,
Offer an ear and listen to my mad tirade.
Then when I am done my peace it returns,
For venting
