Breakfast

Let’s talk about Why no Job is worth your self respect,

Why we don’t take the time to make breakfast for ourselves every morning.

We forget,

Use an egg,

Crack it with one hand.

Learn to crack it with one hand.

Take our supplements 

Buy a French press

Why do we insist on allowing the cooperate world to rule our only world.

I got so tied up in not taking care of myself,

Growing

It’s hard for a seed to break itself,

in order to grow under the ground,

but in the end it WILL grow out of that ground

and into its own breath and onward.

you cut out my heart

and ran.

Why did this happen?

Why did we go a drought?

 

Why the hell did you hurt me?

Why the heck didn’t I say ouch?

 

Why didn’t you just tell me you hated the way I laugh?

Why couldn’t I tell you I hated you because you cheated in the past?

 

Why did you talk to me like a dumb dog?

Why didn’t I tell you that your pride was too strong?

My head beats like an on going drum.

Is this what it’s like to continuously be numb? 

A loss at words 

An act of tragedy.

Family matters,

People dieing. 

A girl who’s father is crying. 

In a hospital bed 

With no FUCKING LEG.

This is not a phase,

As they all said. 

They told me my emotions are strong,

So I tried to keep them hid. 

Anger rises in me

As I,

Sadness overwhelms me, 

As I tremble and burrow. 

 

Happiness is rare,

Almost like,

Timid and distraught, 

Cautious of all men.

Letting go

Let me tell you this 

a secret lies within oneself,

many dare to dismiss.  

Alas,

Loving one who is broken, 

Creates complication 

And bliss. 

 

A problem to handle,

That is not ones own. 

A secret to help bury, 

Yet not to hold on ones own. 

 

The truth is set free,

When their true self is recognized 

By the one who had the power, 

All along on the ...

Cliff Hanging

I feel my mind slipping, 

almost dangling from a cliff. 

 

Obsession and love are different, 

Yet similar with a twist. 

 

You left me in the cold, 

And so I left you behind. 

Although it breaks my heart 

this is my time to shine.

 

To fend for myself, 

That was the first lesson, 

A scared little girl,

With no direction. 

 

Which way do I turn?

Save me from myself.

Staring up at his ceiling fan, thinking about this disgrace
Looking in his closet door mirror, with this horrid weed that was laced. 
Sending me into a trance of pure disgust
I have to stop this now, it’s most certainly a must. 
I walked out the door 
With no kiss goodbye 
He turned around so fast 
Like the quickest speed of light.

PURE BONE

-To all the girls who love their beautiful  curly hair: 

Life just didn’t treat you fair. 

You started off as a soft delight 

then darkness grew, as the nights took flight. 

They screamed at you with venom, 

So you hid from their mighty bite

 

You ran home crying, 

because a bully tried to put up a fight. 

 

Coming home with mascara running down your face,

Harsh fireflies.

Sitting here 

in the dark. 

Smoking poison, 

While soaking up the night sky like lotion. 

Stars shine bright, 

like little fireflies dancing in a summer breeze. 

 

I wish upon upon the biggest star, 

while there’s a breeze between my shaking knees. 

I bow my head and begin to weep  

 

I fucked another one, 

a lifeless soul.

Keep shoving those rails up your pretty perfect snout.

Your smile woo’s the weak,

followers who prey. 

Leaders shy away from you, 

your a black sheep, eating dry hay. 

 

Women worship you for your charm,

Oh how I was the fool 

a girl who saw the heat in your flume 

you struck me like a star in the night sky 

but burned me like a nick on my rear thigh. 

Your lies cut me into many pieces of broken glass 

I felt your light distinguish with the slightest of gasps.

Unbareable Truth

What a pleasurable pain

to be loved by someone who only wants to use you 

someone who only wants your body and not your mind 

accepting the fact that you are wanted, only for vanity and not for soul purpose. 

You are but an object, 

a hole for someone to dump their sadness into. 

Nothing more, nothing less.

full of disgrace, and disgust.

 

I never knew anything,

all my thoughts turned to dust.

 

The black and the gold,

this must have been my heart,

turning to dark mold.

 

Crusty and dry,

my high was fading,

and my eyes cried to a certain soul.

 

They all abandoned me,

and left me for dead.

Bloody Showers

Bloody Showers

One time in a waking hour
I decided to take a long hot shower.
and to my suprise as i scrubbed,
I saw my knees, were red with blood.

Being dizzy from the night before
I couldnt recall the time i last snored,

"what happened last night?"
I dont remember..
Why my breast was bruised,
and my nails were shattered.

I only saw the day before,
because nighttime whistles, ...

You told me cared,

I saw that you did,

Your trapped in your mind

and so I hid.

I see pain in your eyes

they are so dark for me.

I want to shine light on you

but you wont let yourself be free.

It hurts me darling ,

when there's rough patches on your skin,

because I've seen you soft,

and that feeling brought me in.

The feelings you erupted in me were too immense for me to handle,

I listened and bowed in shame like the fucking bitch you told me i was.

I fucked you the way you wanted me too, like the whore you called me everytime i didnt answer my phone.
