Wrestled to girl
I wrestled you down
Girl
Into woman
I grew your thoughts for you
Lifeless of the party
Monotone
You vacuum expression
And drain me,
Exhausted
Stop
I gave you emotions
Give me energy
Any kind just give
Give and give
I must drink
Always thirsty am I
But I drink for you
So whatβs this lull in your throat
Dip in your tone
Crack?
No
You ...

I: skeleton
Face like stone
Hard to read
I find myself taking pride
In my totem pole
Of expressions, I can hide
Masterfully deceptive
Every bit secretive
All heart without sleeves
Makes it easier to breathe
But being naked
Really stripping off
And just letting everyone watch
That is true strength
True power
Is knocking down this tower
Being bare
Just a sk...

Raw eggs
I tried beautiful,
I tried pristine,
I was no good at it
Iβm not neat within
Iβm not βcleanβ
Even externally, I cannot master
Clearing every bit of clutter
Iβm raw, like an egg
Itβs not pretty to have a cracked head
But if I donβt
Iβm practically dead
As inanimate and detached as my wooden bed
To be raw is
Painful,
Ugly,
Messy,
But itβs rich with fee...

Bigger than you
You should know better
Than to think youβre alone in this universe
Youβve seen breath come from nothing
Animals evolve
More complex than fathomable
Human species shapeshift and roam
With inventions inexplicable
Grass, water, and life itself
Come to be
And people like you
Who all think different
And think theyβre the only ones
Donβt assume youβre not connect...

Part of us
Something speaks from beyond
Something writhes alive
In each of us
Something pulls and breathes
Beyond our touch
They call it instinct
But it is magically distinct
And can lead, lead, lead
To something in your core
They call it power of the brain
But itβs so much more
It cannot be explained away
It cannot be spoken out of existence
They call it the mi...

One
Iβm sorry to disappoint you
That I can be too sweet and so weak
And yet I can be cold and cruel too
That I can completely snap to my core
And morph into a creature of different sorts
Iβm sorry that Iβm not white or black
Or immaculate
Or of any matter
For that fact
Iβm not anything
At all
Not wholly whole
You see,
Incompleteness
Has been my superpower

I thank you for not being good enough
You pulled me into your orbit
when I needed your help
and so, I made you my centre
to centre myself
That was my first mistake
I looked inside you
for places where I could hide
I hoped to run from reality
into the delusions of your mind
I was happy to believe you were one of a kind
chuffed upon chuffed that you were mine
and I felt adored
grateful to m...

Wounds of liberation
Imagine being totally untethered
After feeling chain linked
I feel split
That part removed
That half is trying to renew
But it hurts
To grow scab over wound
Missing you is mourning you
Leaving you is still losing you
And Iβm just as lost
As I made you
If it could be
I would make it be
Should I be chain linked again
I would make it good
Should ...

Vital
The haunting of a broken tap: drip, drop
The thirst after the sun: drink, gulp
She never said a lot, gargling girl
Sliding in and out of my body
Helping me breathe, walk, talk
That was why I swam
It was water
Brought me alive floating out to No Manβs
Diving down to skim the sand
It was water
Wanted it, always had it, but could never catch it.
It was water
Insipi...

Leverage
Iβve peeled off my skin for you
Iβve let you crunch my bones,
Consume beyond my flesh
Beyond my visceral tissues
Beyond my beating heart
Beyond the fibres of my being
Down to my soul
Iβve let you gobble up my spirit
Iβve let you slurp up my mind
Lick the lasting crumbs
of my emotions
Everything in me
Everything making me, me
All that constructs me
All...

Flame-Licked Heels
Iβve been working on
Coming back from
The dead
Realising reality
Living in this world
Becoming me
I donβt have to know who I am
But I must know that I am
I am, I am, I am
I donβt have to know what I am
To deserve to be
Iβm working on being,
Just being
Because Iβve been existing
Mindless, automatic, numb
Best autopilot, me
Coming back from the dead

Overconsumption
We go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
Itβs easy to live in comfort and abundance
But maybe you drown,
Donβt live
And you just exist
Strip away luxuryβ¦
Could you be with just yourself,
And basic needs?
With only your thoughts for company?
Because we go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
We consume with our mouths
Pack, squeeze, cram...
