He walks out of the battle pen dripping with ink
knowing for certain he was placed in that moment in time
to put words to these things
these stories that shift the atmosphere
bump into each other
causing friction and storm
He foretold this in way no one will believe
He’s there when widows weep

the stench of your lies

bares stark weight

like 6 feet of dirt upon my casket

as I asphyxiate in my pitch black hell.

With wings your cursed smile rains

down on me

with shattered glass teeth

as you splash igniting emotions

upon my pyre;

As I pop like a tick

Once upon a time

there was a young girl

who sat underneath a fig tree

and pondered the

universe's greatest mysteries:

"Who am I?"

"Why am I here?"

and "What is the meaning of my life?"

And as the wind gently rustled

the leaves on the branches above her

a swift and sudden gust

Trapped inside this door frame.

Symbolism so great.

I need a helping hand.

I need for this to end.


I was born in this trash heap.

Now I can barely sleep.

But this box holds my secrets.

This box is a whore.


I shove these pills down my throat.

Make me

They catch us when we are falling

Nets of safety spread below us

For the one time our trapeze will fail

Waiting patiently strong.

They fix the world to suit our needs

struck by none stuck on numb tuned

into a zone where light is reflected bouncing

off lenses that you look at me through

while ages go by without any changes that

to kill a mocking bird is a little different than killing your dad

ballistics and explosions all around all on the inside

heart pounding and white wings beating behind me stretched as i glide

i am soaring away from the danger directed by the love of fear

the driving force behind me staying with this girl forever

the desire to be by her thigh and phased into her
