People Around You

am I liked?
do people smile and lie or are they truthful
being a comedic person helped me bury my pain
who is real and who is just a figment?
when it gets tough, who will run and who will stay?
honesty I find can heal most problems
I haven't had a real friend in many years.

True Feeling

true feeling
its something I haven't felt in years
of course you feel great when kids are born 
or marriage but I mean 
a feeling that isn't created by medicine
step out and see the sun
you feel new,fresh 
or snow for the 1st time 
I have forgotten what those things feel like

talent
unseen
unknown
uncertainty
uncertainty of talent
nervous of the unseen
unknown by most
very melancholy

My Angels

they came to me and suddenly 
my pain was alleviated
the precious look of innocence bestowed
upon you
the most precious beings I have ever seen
I am in awe of them everyday 
thank you for this gift

Absent

Absent was the word I remember as meaning
not present in school.

Now that term represents way more in my life.
Being manic depressive there are certain levels 
of insanity you deal with daily.

I'm now entering the big league.

Just think of being in the worst possible spot
mentally but still keeping some sane thought
and pushing on.

Usually my poems share some metaphor and 
analogies. Not this one.

I'm now entering psychosis and delusional thought.
 To all going through this just remember there are many
beautiful things in this life. Hang on please. 
These thoughts of self hatred and esteem issues.
Stop and think. 
Why let insanity and grandiose thoughts
make my decisions.
Love your self

Sunshine

sunshine is a beautiful thing
reminiscent thoughts of teenage years
beach days
highway rides with the top down
enjoying life before it became difficult
the fluorescent rays melt your disparity

Lifetime of Anguish

to be blunt
I have poisoned myself with substances for the past 20 years
everyday a piece of you disappears
you learn another life
one life is loving and caring
the other is lying and stealing
it becomes second nature 
I wish I could take it all back
my adolescent years were destroyed by substances
this isn't a poem as much as a sad rant
its truth
youth have no shot as addicts
the cycle begins

New Light

10 years of my time has been wasted
which was once love is now a black wilted rose
it has caused pain double-sided
it's the only feeling that ever brought me to my knees
but while sitting and contemplating
I realized....
this awful feeling can be short lived
it doesn't have to be an evil process
pick yourself up and dust your clothes off
maybe I'll find a new light 
a new set of hair, beautiful eyes and mind
we'll see

10 Minutes of Your Time

medicine changes
up on this 
down on that
you are an experiment
they want you to get better
but only for their benefit 
they judge you too fast
a ten minute convo sums up your relationship
they haven't even seen the tip of the berg
I may never get.....
better?

Back To the Past

a part of me was taken
for years I tried to bury it 
affected relationships

How can I?
 forget such a heinous thing
It haunts me 
like a late night walk 
in a shattered part of town 

if you don't look for answers
this beast will follow you
