There are those in life who want to look like angels
Those who want to be seen as absolutely beautiful, graceful, and winsomely charming
Those who are always determined to succeed
In really whatever, like playing sports, fighting, singing, or swimming
However, beneath their success and image
There is something off with these “angels”
With how they are by themselves, far from public
It is as if the...
Listen to this song,
You better listen!
Having a hard time,
Suffering from the pain.
You don’t clean my stuffs,
I will let you down!
Remember to do,
What a silence after all.
If you don’t give it me,
Let your parents know.
You took it from me,
Nothing left but myself.
Go and do your things,
Have your work ready.
If you don’t have on hand,
Your hands ready to be disabled.
Want to get out, how?

If the clouds would shift for an instant,
I would know there was still a moon.
I would look behind me and laugh because, how silly, it was only the wind,
And the pounding of my own heart, deceitful above all things.
The whisper of the leaves would change from "Run" to "Breathe", to "Stay", to "Slow."
But they have gathered tighter, the clouds,
The leaves, perfectly still because of course, th...
Double edged sword of love
Mighty or brittle
Euphoria or psychiatric hospital
Clean and sober
Chase the dragon
Withdrawal when it’s over
Blank stare like a window mannequin
I am my own prison cell
One way street
Self destructive and intrusive thoughts are permanent visitors when they collide and meet
In the box where light can never pierce
Invalidation forces isolation
Ransacked mind for t...
Snake in the garden
Slithering and deceiving
Its prey?
A gullible and faithless soul
It thrives on
Evil and hatred
It can be
Poisonous and deathly
It doesn’t stop there
It bites and destroys
Wreaking havoc all around by
Trickery and treachery
Only one is able to put an end to its madness
And that’s the one who was born as
Fully human and fully God
To crush the serpents head
And put...
In the shadowed alleys of the mind I dwell,
A bittersweet curse, a seductive spell.
You’ll cry out for me, if ever you fall,
And I will come running when I hear your call.
I’ll promise you freedom and peace of mind,
But leave you in shackles and chains that bind.
I am the hunger that never fades,
The scars on your arms that cannot be erased.
I am the devil in a lovely disguise,
The veins of th...
Leave your heart on my doorstep when you go
Send me your lungs preserved in ice and snow
Let me have the flesh from off your bones
You will not need your brain when no one is home
Let me hold your hand in a wicked dance
Dip your feet into a formaldehyde trance
Mount your torso on the fireplace mantle
Let your eyes flicker with light from a candle
Give me those lips to savor your taste
Spill your...
A settlement is made
And all land is claimed
I was here first!
All the man say
A flag in the ground
A stick in the mud
They cheer for their blessings
As any Lord would
Laughing and striding
Feeling so high
Stabbing and slashing
With glee in their eyes
Wounding and maiming
Blood on the skin
Another man noticed
A woman within
Raping and pillage
Is what they all know
Humanity’s lowest
Ho...
