A Memory

I look into a mirror 
and see that little boy in his warm clothes
He looks out at the road in front of him
A silence rings in his ear
Tears well in his eyes
His dad pulls over, empathy sparse in his heart
Fear pumps through the boy's veins 
Cycling endlessly, he wishes for relief 
Looks for mercy in his father's eyes
He does not dare speak
He refuses to voice his cries 
His head stares down towards wet shadow
Through verbal beating, his head hangs low 
I do not wish to dwell on the past 
 however, I am left with the pain
The shame
The pleasure distracts me, leaves me with gain

Lab Rat

It hurts, most days
to think myself 
broken and weird 

It hurt to be told I needed to be fixed
To be analyzed as a mouse in a science experiment 

Something is wrong

With you


What a shame 

Shame 

Shame

Shame on you 

Don't you feel any shame?

Call it nature, to be curious 

The studied call it torture 


Do you know what it feels like?

Before then, I felt really good most days

I never look in the mirror

It hurts too much 

Stop.

It hurts. 

Pathetic.


I wake

Pain.

Get ready


I look normal 

I sound ok.

Thoughts

Think normal thoughts 

Boots, boots, boots 

tHerE is no discharge, waging a Losing battle uP,
down, again until ceasefire

14 Heartbeats to Death

The void sings to me every night 
It's lullabies promise peace, freedom from plight

I know it desperately, desperately tries 
To make me listen to it's lies 

I hear it sometimes, in the trees
It whispers softly, in the breeze

I see it sometimes, in my bedroom
It shows me visions of my tomb

It haunts my dreams in every nap
I hear it at my door, tap tap tap 

It walks with me and me alone
I hear it call my phone 

It's getting harder to resist
It's promises of endless bliss

Limbo

I stand on a precipice 
Eternal midnight shines above 
As reflected below
Eden, steps back
Close enough to see
I am Tantalus 
Step back
“Backward
And going backwards”
A flash and thunder
I appear before me

“If one had a genie, would he wish to love himself as others? 
I feel contempt from you, of course I do”
I know I would
Because I love people
