We All Fall
You are the love of my life.
I wish that I could express
myself, instead of cause us to fight.
Honestly, I am just really depressed.
An expression of fight or flight…
And you know that I’m just teasing –
I know I’m not always right.
I definitely could do better.
But I would rather
not focus on topics
about getting myself together.
It’s not easy being
this much...

Daydream
Tossing, turning, and apneic –
this hell is my waking dream.
This hole in my heart feels like
waking up next to nothing.
I wish that instead of this
hole in my heart, I had one
inside of my head, what bliss
I would feel taking a gun
to silence these thoughts for good.
Just when I thought I’d had it
with feeling misunderstood
you asked ‘could I live with this

Overbearing Misguided Affection
It's strange watching someone
You love grow very old
Because at some point it's like
They're not even here anymore.
Then you hardly recognize
Yourself at all anymore
And you start to wonder
What it's all been for.
So many years have seemed to pass
But somehow, it's gone all too fast.

Wild Flower
He loves me, he loves me not.
In my hands I hold our fate -
watching as the petals drop
as if to insinuate
a predictable future
from this one wild flower.

I still remember that day
and all the feelings that came
when you took your life away;
nothing was ever the same.
No matter how much they tried
they couldn’t bring back your life.
Every day after you died
darkness snuffed out all the light.
After the months of sadness
following your suicide,
sadness turns into madness –
why the fuck did you take your life.
The l...

Yesterday
It seems like just yesterday
we were kissing and talking
about our plans for the day
opportunity knocking.
I can only imagine
the possibilities of
how things could have happened
if I had shown you more love.
Perhaps you’d still be with me
if I had taken the time
to understand you had needs
instead of focusing on mine.
As I sit here alone thinking ...

Wildfire
Everyone has their secrets,
some are just better liars –
they never show their weakness.
Inside they burn like wildfire.
Without a conscience you are free
from the torment and the dread.
It is such bullshit and irony
that Hell exists only in your head.
The walls you build imprison
keeping altruism distant,
intentional abscission
from a life worth existenc...

Ice Queen
A girl who wanted nothing more than to feel belonging, felt that her life had been prolonging. The girl struggled with her weight—starving and binging what she ate; and with that hatred she turned to self, and placed her feelings on a shelf. She had a mother stern and strong, and a father that was never taught right from wrong. She turned to drinking to stall the pain, with each sip killing her br...

Anhedonia
Is emptiness a feeling?
Or is it the emotions
your smile is concealing?
Your head full of commotions.
What is it you believe in?
Universe – religion – self,
I can see it in your eyes –
it’s clear that you need some help!
They control you with your fears,
if only you could lull their
faint whispering in your ears.
Constant internal warfare.
They sa...

Wildflower
Ask yourself this -
living in a world of things,
what brings meaning
when the only inevitability is change?
Don't live to own,
no satisfaction ever came from possession.
The most beautiful flower ever grown
can only be appreciated if left alone.
And you are this flower -
wild and free.
You define the moments.
Don't stifle, grow.

Two Lives Together Estranged
It's crazy how much can change.
Once familiar, now is strange.
The you I knew as my friend
now I barely comprehend.
Two lives, together, estranged.

A Conversation
If I could ask you a question -
do you think you would humor me?
How do you think my depression
will end up devouring me?
This sickness inside my stomach
is all from inside of my head.
Around me, my life has plummet -
I really could just drop dead.
Like picking up a puzzle piece
so sharp it cuts your hands like glass.
If only these thoughts would cease.

Strange Tides
Her love was like the ocean
whose tide pulled and swept away
the world and all its commotion,
leaving behind death and decay.
Before you raise your judgement
on this lonely wretched girl,
understand it's not what she meant
to have the world unfurl.
You see, she only knew how
to feel broken and dead inside,
and what she didn't know was
how to be alive.

Forget-Me-Not
She never was an angel
Yet, there was light about her.
They say good conquers evil
But even the bold falter.
Inside her head thoughts ran deep -
Popping pills to stay relaxed.
Mental scars and lack of sleep
Cause for another Prozac.
Simple fix becomes habit,
Self-prescribed daily doses,
Tells herself 'I must have it' -
Life less lived comatose.
Drug induced comfort, forget-me-co...

Silent Battles
There's nothing louder than silence,
Like gasping, drowning on air.
Tried looking around for guidance -
No one really seemed to care.
To go about life unnoticed
Without so much a remark,
If only just for a moment
Beauty gets wasted in dark.
Take these words as you will have them
They never belonged to me.
Come follow my course in tandem,
It's the truth t...

Valiant Valkyrie
Valiant Valkyrie, burning with white light,
she rips across the sky like lightning bolts across the night.
Demoralizing demons dwelling in the hearts of man,
she smites the sons of Satan and drives evil from this land.
All attacks upon her are attacks upon the self -
for how could one damage that which is good and nothing else?
Perfect in her imperfection,
beauty in her battle...

What Was Left of Me Is Now History:
This family is a broken tree,
look at what they did to me.
Along the way I’ve lost my mind –
dug deep inside, it’s hard to find
the purpose in this misery.

My life is good.
My life is bad.
I have everything I could wish for.
I have nothing at all.
I take many pills.
I’m not sure why.
I am the happiest person you will meet.
I am the saddest person you will know.
I am not crazy
But I feel I am losing my mind.
I am unique.
I am not unique if everyone else claims the same as I do.
