Touch of Ink

Transfer of thoughts continuing.
Can I achieve greatness, or simply waste paper with slop.
Selfconfidence has retreated yet again.
I hope to find it through the ink of my pen, to the hand it rests.
Directly to the mind that controls it.
To find those magical words which dance from tonque to soul.
To reach that place were my words give joy and comfort.
Touching another with the ink from my pen.
Completing the circle of thought.

Spotlight

Placing myself in the context of the first person.
puts me in the spotlight.
Where I dont want to be.

Family Circus

Welcome to the show!
Bickering, maddening, lying, carnival of fools.
Circus of family.
Ringmasters of entertainment.
Clowns, and sideshow freaks.
Artists of balance, tamers of Lion's.
All working without a net.

Fading

Often the emptyness inside of me,
trys to absorb my outside shell.

Waste of Life

Hair brisseling on the back of my neck.
Goose bumps on my arms.
I realize how old i am getting.
Yesterday it seems I had my youth.
Today I feeled robbed of it.
I am scared.
Where did it go, when I die will I get another?
Or did I really waste the only one I have?

Sober

Went for my cigarrettes, grabbing them upside down.
They toppled to the floor.
Sober this would not have happened.

Reality Tales

Ashes, ashes,  you get in my way, you fall down.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
He had a great fall, drunk bastard!
Mary had a little lamb.
It made a fine sweater!
Jack and Jill went up a hill.
They came down divorced.
Ring around the rosies, a pocket full of rupies.
The little engine that could was on Methaphedimines.
I'll puff, and I'll huff cocain up my nose, because the three little pig's were 
slautered for breakfast!

Depression

My eyes ache from the dullness, the dullness I see everyday.
The sun is a nightlight to my vision, flower's have no scent, colors look grey white 
and black. 
When I breath in, I breath a rot, a smell of hopelessness.
My soul has left for greener pastures.

Desperation

Feeling like the Bear caught in the trap, gnawing at my own flesh.
Eyes darting to the right and to the left.
Desperation climbing down my throat, to kick around my Bowel's.
The empty days, and hollow night's, choking my last breath.
I fear you no longer care, a fate much worse than death.

Crossroad of Distortion

Flipped upside down.
Shaken as if inside a snowglobe.
Caught napping.
Cruel fate has snuck upon me, and lashed out with the force of thunder.
Feeling as if discarded.
Rubbish of yesterday.
Approaching a crossroad that is distorted.
Going not right or left, but rather up and down.
Up to hope.
Down to dispair.
I'm compelled distally, like insect to flame.
Wisdom prods me.
I simply move forward.
