Different Man-Henceforth Flourishing Behindhand

Squalidness—Squabbling squeamishly;
Scrutinizing stigmatized scandalization, substantially scarce
Sprightliness...skeptically surrendering
Shamefully—Scolded sardonically;
Snarling splenetically, severing sensibility, scowlingly simmering
Strenuously...sought survival
Sparring—Sinister sisters;
Seductively swiveling soreness, sarcastically snared, swirling
Storms...sporadically striking
Slowly—Sacrificing stories;
Scorching slanderous subversiveness, suffering suffocation
Senselessly...smoldering serendipity
Sinfully—Silent stranger;
Sneaking skillfully staring
Presumptuously—Pursuing pretentiousness;
Promises protruding pithiness,
Potential problems...penetrating
Frantically—Forsaken fantasizes foresee;
Different Man Flourishing...

Suspiciously—Supplication solicited;
Subjectively settling, storms subdue, spontaneously subsiding
Surprisingly...sanctuaries submerged
Sobriety—Soaked scathingly;
Staleness spun savagely, strangely straying, sprung
Scourging...southern spiral
Suddenly—Solitude strangling;
Shallow significants seedily surrounds scrupulousness, slumbering
Spitefulness...shunning sympathy
Systematically—Struggling swiftly;
Skulking shadows slithering, seized sanity, seething
Stragglers scrapping...smuggling
Supposedly—Soberness swarming;
Sunrises selectively swerving, sunsets scattering
Emotionally—Erraticism encouraged;
Enduring essential enemies,
Equivocal excursions...escalating
Hereupon—Heretics hushed hereafter;
Different Man Henceforth...

Relentlessly—Reaping ramifications;
Remorsefully relapsing regrettably, resentful realization recognizing
Reflection...refusing reality
Condescendingly—Condemning contradictions;
Cautiously concealing contortions, conducting contrived conniptions
Conscientiously...capricious consciousness
Arrogantly—Acquiring awareness;
Ignorantly ignoring ideologies, deceitful dramatic disagreements
Transpire...transitioning transgressions
Occasionally—Ostracizing occurs;
Overthinking orchestrates overreactions, obsessively obtaining optimization
Brazenly—Begged, blindingly became;
Different Man Behindhand...

Obsessed Fathomless Hollowness

Un-----earthed 
my----self 
de--ci--sive--ly
Near-ly bust-ed
Lay-ing on rocks...
Weakened spiritually; Rejuvenation before long—
Tucked in that rock-bottom chasm, 
nevertheless kept dreaming—
Woking up— 
Surprisingly distant             from myself;
Although, woken to that seemly monotonus dream/thought... 
(As it is of you, my muse) 

     Some—how         stum——bled
;yadretsey emitemoS 
Plum-


-met-


-ed 


in 


regress, ------- ---------
However for today, I exist awakened; 
Hollowness had not been that Fathomless—
Dragging myself out from that somber chasm—
Effortlessly brushing rocks back 
into  

that 


Somber 



Chasm; 


Hearing—Hearing the—the echoing—echoing thuds—thuds as—as they—they hit—hit the—the bottom—botttom of—of that—that  
Fathomless somber chasm...
(Not owing to you, little girl)

I do not perceive...precede back to something else?
Trickery-sneakily-deceives Honesty into comfort;
Manipulation will 
befall. 
Treachery lies to my soul;
Revealing for all...mistook it for loyalty—
(As I had done with you, little girl)

True -3love -3consumed-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3my being
Desirably-embraced-blissful fantasies;
Appreciated that exhilarating exhaustion—
Had that venom... 
Driiippiiiing steeeaaadiiily frooom yooouuur liiips 
Since you spat that poison, blinding me...
Obsessed...Am I? 
Why argue with the likes of you...
What endeavor occurred was not with you, 
Snake.
(Owing to you, little girl) 

I do not recognize...proceed towards whatever else.
Had I known you no longer
Passionately prided yourself as my muse,
Intending instead to poisen my muse...
Never been allowed an experience to inspire...
Inspiration now obliterated...someday
(Owing to you, my muse)

Fake love provokes me,
Desperately-embracing-deceitful clarity,
Eagerly evoking what will never disintegrate me.
Anxiously anticipating what arrives after; 
Haste helps find my way back into hell.
You have disappeared from my existe---
(As I exist only for you, my muse)

Entity, Should-Could-Would

Exhaust your Entity--
Spot you Strive;
Squander what kept you Straight...
Stand-Stare-Spin...
Speculate--
...Should have done Steady?

Exhaust your Entity--
Concern you Consider;
Condemn what kept you Certain...
Crouch-Cry-Convulse
Contemplate--
...Could have done Correct?

Exhausting your Entity--
Watching you Wishing;
Wasting what kept you Working...
Waiting-Whining-Wandering...
Wondering--
...Would have done Willing? 

Exhausted your Entity--
Liked you Longed;
Lost what you had Left... 
Laughed-Lingered-Lasted...
Learned--
(Lifeless)

A Muse's Mini-Acrostics

Broken... Eagerly Erased Vaguely Visiting Vitality Encouraged Earlier Evenings End Remained Ravishing Reality Lifelessly Lurking Yearning...
Beggared Excessively, Varied Extensively; Reasons? Loving/Losing You At Nearabouts Now Jokingly Obtain Neglect; Expurgating Self ...breathless elatedness, —VANISHING— —ESCAPING— ...resoundingly lovable yore. Been catching myself, staring off in distance; Engulfed by the sorrow—forever haunted... Validate; all my failures and flaws again— Eerily similar to who came before— Reflect upon little girl's frivolousness... Largely too intangible for you to grasp... Years—Perhaps your best ones, were already gone—

Repeat of Yesterday

Predestine—perpetuation;
bathing-still-here-in
numbness-seemly
Inefficacious—permanence;
drowning-in-seemly
somberness-now
Outlived effectualness;
seems
Presumptuous notions;
bring
Explications
as-to-why-nothing-ever-goes-right
Danger-waiting
hounds-insidiously
Begging-for-its 
insightfulness—

Really though;
Innumerable goddesses—
yet, 
blanknessly staring
still she is all I desire...
Realization
of all that I still require...
Has her beyond 
scared of myself...

Howbeit I came to care again;
Dealing with the same ---- everyday—
------- with me in any-every-way—
Repeat of Yesterday?

Discover—
unique experiences;
Whatever— 
extraneous adventure— 
life offers
Guessing about what 
life itself wants;
Unfortunately— 
recognized-the-truth
Presumptous;
expectations—
as-to-why-nothing-ever-lasts-long
Love-leaving
Always-avoiding-me
Providing-zero 
closure-as-always—

Really though;
innumerable goddesses—
yet,
require the desire—of only her—
Thinking-who 
might-be-my-last
Has-me-beyond 
scared-for-myself...

Howbeit I still have not left;
Dealing with the same ---- everyday—
------  with me in any-every-way—
Repeat of Yesterday...

Not a Girl

Arguing about-
anything/everything—
Debating with her-
imaginations—
carelessly/freely...
Opinions about-
everything/anything—
Insisting-on-convictions
unreasonably/freely...
Together with
whom-that-she-is
Totally—unlike-the-Trend;
Almost;
Not a Girl
Any Longer—

Never;
encounters-eventualities
Nabbing
what-all-of-that-she
demands...
Always;
discovering-deliberation
Acquiring-her-necessities...
Besides
who-she-decides-to-be
Incomparable—
to-that-still-Image;
Almost
Likely;
Not a Girl
Any Longer—

Though;
her-feeling-are
widely-well-known
Still—
has-never-let
herself-to-love;
Lover—
last-thing-that-she-will-ever—
welcome—
No desire—
indulging-anyone—lusting-her...
Not-to-mention
but-who-she-is,
Flakier—
than-most-the
Fantasies—
Likely;
Not a Girl
Any Longer—

Although;
her life, buries no secrets—
Still has never, shared her soul;
Soulmate—
last thing she wants to invite;
No desire—
trusting anyone—coveting her...
Along with whom she is;
Differing—from the Dreams—
Most
likely;
Not a Girl,
Any Longer—

Self–denigrating herself,
yet again—
On her own;
accepted life for granted,
but again—
Off she embarks;
recognizing herself,
all over but again—
Never;
scrutinize—discourse,
with ever again—
Transfigured
unrecognizable
Unknown—complete stranger—
Not ever a...
Girl...Anymore...

Foolish Little Girl

Oh; foolish little girl—without thought;
Appearing-dreaming-pretending—
Dream; tomorrow never comes...
Pretend; nonchalantly...
Loves—only you and-
Love; only him—
Start thinking—
Stand-Run-
NOW!

Nameless Demon

Lose sight of who;
Losing sight of you—
So you take what;
You taken my soul—
You nameless demon;
You have took it all...

Begin listening for who;
Beginning to listen for you—
So you break what;
You broken my will—
You nameless demon;
You have broke it all...

Protect me from what;
Protecting me from it all—
So I break when;
After you taken sight—
You nameless demon;
You have dragged me back to hell...

Dispair!
Misery!
Agony!
Anguish! 
Torment! 
Sorrow!
You nameless demon;
You have brought it all...

Come To Be

...Listening to her inadequacies again;
Even if I cannot comprehend--
I understand only
What it is to be wrong...
Never can I
Trust outside myself...
But eventually it'll pass;
For me to
Come to be...

Spewing excuses...My excuses again;
Even if she cannot comprehend--
Not who she
Portrayed herself to be...
She hides that
Ugliness so diligently...
But eventually it'll pass;
For her to
Come to be...

Weakness...Never confused as a virtue;
Tired of convincing ourselves otherwise--
Giving up, only makes us toxic....
Accepted no one will ever, fulfill our soul;
Contain our vanity--Transform our being--
Going our separate way, is not for the best...
But very much do we plead;
For us to
Come to be...

My Head

Advice recieved over the years
All from within my head;
Only people I talk to...
Only friends I have...
Do not care for any of you;
Getting your laughs from me...

Tears raining from my head
Don't let it pour tonight...
Had to say something;
Could not sew that mouth shut...
Minds are at odds increasingly;
Voices never come to a stop...

Putting a bullet in my head;
Thoughts always in my head,
Death always in my head;
Putting a bullet in my head,
Maybe finally be out of my head...
