Feeding Time

A pill to focus

Some pills to be thin

A pill for appetite

Pills to the brim

Ready your cameras

The meal has arrived

A pill as the main course

Some pills on the side

A pill to wake up

A few for your slumber

This pill for pain

Might put you under

A pill to connect

A pill to destroy

A pill to accept

A pill to annoy

Do you like this poem?!?.......

Eviction Notice


It's not that I don't like to admit

That I still think of you once in a while

The bittersweet memories cause shift

In winds that guarantee exile

I wish I could speak to you

Ask you how you have been

It's not as if you've moved away

And I may still see you again

The reason is my eviction notice

For you to vacate my mind

Even though I still think of you

Mostly all ...

To Whom it Should Concern

She sits silent in the tacky room.
The television volume loud enough to rumble windows, the flickering light casts eerie shadows dancing around the room. She doesn't notice.

Room 304 is her home now. Not many visitors, and when they do arrive for a visit, it isn't a lengthy stay and they don't say much. Sometimes, not speaking at all. Too busy. She doesn't notice.

She wasn't always brittle....

Breath of Life


My eyes open, I'm awake. The soft unpleasant glow of light terrifies me. Is it that time?

I can't discern any shapes in the room. I cough, the air is filled with the aroma of stale beer and cigarettes.

I roll over and rip the sheets over my head, in attempt to defy time. I cannot bring myself to look at the clock, I am too depressed to wake up, and too driven to die.

I just need those s...

Alien

I am too sensitive for this insensitive world. I am too consistent for this inconsistency.

I wish for peace in this absolute chaos.
I wish for peace, love and happiness in this age of grandiose debauchery, lacking love or feelings.

We are lacking ideas of how to simply communicate as humans.

We are devolving into rodents, that must feed and fuck and then hibernate.

I am too alien for ...

What Do I Care?

One step forward, 365 steps back.
The optimist in my excited, sad, sloshy brain. I care.

I poison myself with thoughts of a better way. I cling to potential, like a child clinging to thoughts of what could be, what they could be.

One slow step forward, 365 stumbling steps back. I still poison myself with this thought that nothing bad can happen to me. Yet, things seem dark and unfair. I car...

Just Go


Take the leap and embrace the fall. We all fall. From the moment we learn to walk, we fall, inevitably. however, we have the loving cushion and subsequent embrace from our parents to shield us.

You're doing good.

Take a chance and embrace the fall, or perhaps, enjoy the fruits of your success, efforts, and the learning mechanism.

You're doing great.

Don't be scared, don't be bolted d...
