Life Struggles
Life's Strange
Life's very strange
Nothing quite remains the same
All things are bound to change
But who's to blame
Life is a game
Where you lose
and rarely gain
In Life. They say
Don't use your heart just your brain
As if it were to save you from the pain.
In life the feeling of hate
beats love with a higher rate
one no longer chooses to decide
They just hesitate
in fear of their own fate
The closest people to you always seem to disappear.
when they're needed the most. Then randomly reappear.
when you’re the one giving the toast
Day after day
goes by
you are born.. Just to die
Year after year
Nothing is ever clear.
except fear
Today you breathe
Tomorrow they grieve
because you chose to leave
I promise this isn’t a lie
No one is ready for your last goodbye.

Sober and relapse
This anxiety
Makes me anxious
Feeding its self
Till it's dangerous
Its PTSD
Of some degree
The start and the failures
Take its toll on me
The inability to remember
The pain and the fear
Forgetting the scars
That should be so clear
The voice in your head
Reassuring you
Saying this time will be different
When you know it's not true
Louder and louder
It starts to scream
Your anxiety grows
And splits at the seam
Then you give in
Letting go at last
The voice takes control
And repeats the past
Another, another
It screams in a growl
More ,more
A predator on the prowl
Then it's gone
And you're just floating there
Trying to make sense of things
Trying to be aware
Then it crashes down
You drown in hate
Your full of self loathing
And memories that exacerbate
Now the long road ahead
Seems to have no end
Your chest hurts bad
And tremors set in
You can't stay awake nor eat
So you traumatize your brain
You're scared you might die
But your more scared of the pain
Four days and your better
And the memories end
Then that tiny voice
Starts to whisper again

A Smudge
Why do I feel like I belong in places I know I shouldn't be?
In the cracks,
in the rawness of reality,
I sit in peace.
Such an odd disturbance I am.
For its among the odd,
among the shadow I feel at ease to be me.
I was not made for finer things.
I belong in the dirt
I’m no royal beast.
The finer things are shunned by me.
I just want to be alone.
To not pretend
to not fit in
but to succeed in the mess I am
.

Box less
Stop shoving me,
Trying to fit me,
Within your box.
I will not fit,
So leave me be.
Don’t conform me
To the standards
Of your closed mind.
These boxes of yours,
They limit you,
I will not make it easy,
For you to judge me.
Instead I will become box less.
Don’t bother me,
Cause I know what I am

I think I’d make a fine villain
I look at the world and there’s silence in my head
Broken by the whirring of mental machines
Calculating, observing, graphing, recording
The world outside my brain
My smiles are painted
I have the charm of a fox baring sharp teeth
Glittering in the light of day, standing between a lost rabbit
My entire being’s a mask.
There’s so much wrong with the world
So much disorder in the natural order
We as a species have grown corpulent on
Material objects
And the solution sounds easy
Sounds like something people would want to do anyways
But when you tell people to adopt, drive less, cut down
You become a monster, an irritant
Someone once said that the villain is always the hero of his own story
Truer words have never been spoken
Heroics worldwide gave us this wide world
But with nobody to stop us,
Will we even be able to save ourselves?

Whatever
Our efforts as our deaths
focus on the accomplishments today
if one fears one’s own death
then
death is all one knows.
there are people who want to live forever
this is the biggest form of fear.
life repetitions in form
maybe way to new habits
new habits in form
–new repetitions.
the hope
is that one had learned from their past
making no mistake twice
or to not write the same story twice
but who is anyone to stop others
from straying from hope
all is always circumstance
my choices available
mere circumstance to choose from.
yet not within reality
my own fault to choose from.
just like the Christmas tree
does not choose itself to go up every year
so patiently,
we suddenly see
all angles.
I am everywhere.
and yet I am in human form
and life will come
because life is me and I am
everything and everyone
and no one.

Fucked up
I do my best work
Fucked up.
My head is swimming
In crimson,
in-the-depths
Tinge glances upon the paper, red spectrum
Is truly the hardest to capture, and my thoughts
are unassailable.
You’re holding my black heart, my hand,
My hat hostage.
We’ll down trees for this.
Why do I put up with reality? I’m bored.
I’m tired .
I open the door and
Somehow no one gives a damn, except for
The f****d up man, the weak man
He Looks in your eyes and their eyes match:
Dollar signs.
Why not take it all now, and watch the rest burn
Up later?
I’m dizzy, and my heart is beating fast.
I’m not built to last
. Wishing a crushing
Darkness upon myself.
I wonder how people distract themselves from
Life’s fig tree
, as I glance pathetically through
Lace.
The world will end a disappointment.
Your rationality is impotent.
You’re f****d.
