I cry when I’m happy

I cry when I’m sad,

In the past I I was having a blast

Until the universe reminded me

Nothing will last forever.

No matter the season, I would have a reason

I thought I was a god almighty and nothing could scare me, until the universe reminded it doesn’t

Need a reason to take I was shook in fear but it really changed in believen.

Let go of hate, before it’s to late no matt...

Excitement churning as we pack into the car

Wondering and imaging. Will it be far?

My parents hurrying around. Shoving and jamming the car to the brim .

Fighting for space as my siblings slide near.

Bickering and jabbing but knowing I am loved

Settling in to the rythmatic sound of the tires as the rub

The hum of the motor the faint smell of gasoline

Images appearing in my head. Streams, lakes m...

Mrs Carson always was my favorite math teacher,

She was kind, yet ferocious. You couldn’t miss a lesson.

So when the stabbing pain began, I sat strong at my desk.

My ribs curled over the spike being driven in my side.

I slammed my fist into the desk, taking a deep breath in.

Just the one class, that’s all I needed to make it through.

My eyes didn’t wander from the board but my mind yelped,

The equ...

self hatred driven to insanity.

scars & burns on the outside, a humourous comparison to the damage on the inside.

institutions & psychiatric holds, do nothing to help my troubled mind.

all ive ever needed is something i cannot find.

discouraged, delusional & psychotic... possessed by darkness all around.

no one ever cared enough to show me the light.

i was not worthy.

this exigent percepti...

It’s only for a short time and I’ll be home again soon.

My ear drum has been stabbed,

I have fourty five minutes to leave,

I hate waking up when it’s dark,

Five more minutes,

I can’t lay back down,

Why do I do this to myself.

It’s only for a short time and I’ll be home again soon.

Where’s my watch?

That Cold shower was awful but would’ve impressed any CEO, Shame I wouldn’t tell them that it w...

A nomadic heart,

From home depart,

Long steps to clear my head.

From smooth paved street

To dirt ‘neath my feet

With no direction I mindlessly tread.

An unmarked line

Free of city’s whine

A calming peace envelops me.

Between the hills

A cool wind chills

Leaves rustling on a lonely tree.

A long dirt trail

Break free from jail

Of clouded daily perspective.

A gentle breeze

Puts minds at ease

An...

My hands grow weak as quickly as they grow

For every snap, clap, claw, and grasp

I’ve yet to hold all there is to know

Gently yet boldly will I still clasp

For tomorrow there is to go

Onward still, much to sow...

In the lands of the hunchbacked granite giants that have risen from the deep sea. Embarking from the feet a feeling of deep small and youngness has come over me. As I enter the base the giant firs with bark so fierce the Douglas firs are as hairs on the giants feet. The trail that leads to to the top like veins guiding as the canopy steals the light....

My friends are like my rope

And I am the climber

My only source of life

Surrounded by a void

If the rope snaps and falls

So does the climber

Both of them falling

With no good resolution

But

If the climber loses their grip

And falls

The rope will stay

Slightly strained

But positioned

As if in honor of the fallen climber

So if I fall

Please stay

In honor of me...

A serpent laid his body upon a branch that came from a tree. It was full of fruits that weren’t touched by the people. “The snake bit one,” as I said for I was the one who crumbled under the venom. It took a hold of me like a blooming bud without passion, love, or knowledge of what had taken control of me. Though only mission I had to do know. Was to eat the fruit I shouldn’t touch for it wasnt a ...
