ANGER

Moral digression into madness Nothing stands in place as it distresses, The madness within, Pounding to win, Madness driving whirlwind, As violence descends, Take out the matches, Burn down the fortress, Demonstrate the anger, Live the danger, Break off the edge, Break off the edge, Mass destruction threatens, and frightens, Life as we know it,…

Hello 2023

Well another year has passed us by successfully. I have to say I didn’t meet many of my goals for the year. Being surrounded by so much chaos, including the loss of dearly beloved family members and the closing of more than a few friendships. Despite any anger or frustration I don’t regret the time…

L:

Fury, hate, hate, might, hate, hate, hate, love, love, love, love, love, Dig, dig with me, Happy, dig, dig in, I, AM HAPPY!!! Judgement, twisted, echo’s in my brain, Vibrating insulated voice. An exploration of my mental health tool boxes by attempting to understand the emotions behind rage.

Emotional Baggage

Off to the side I sit Idly by watching time Pass by my side as I Attempt to persuade Guardian Angels to untie My bounds that hold me Prisoner to this idle body Lazy, full of pride My eyes glazed over with envy For the riches of others As I sun away in jealousy Of…

Decisions

Emotions attacked me, Two handed, single coin, Flip to dare, Each life a different stage, Each a hazardous lane, Choices chase me, Day dreaming, day and night, Sleep avoiding me, In my mental fight.

Dream Like State

Slow down, hold onto me, Everything’s a downer, taking downers, Slipping down dreams, Like playing chutes and ladders, Climbing to high places, Sitting high watching the colors float, Boats drifting down, As we row, row, row, Row your boat, Down channels, Changing channels, hearing beat after beat, Attack the ear lobes, Ear drums making beats,…

Tears Inside

Tears fall inside, Silence surrounds screaming, Tearing apart the photo album, Inside, all inside, Alone, inside, screaming inside, No one knows, No one hears, No one see’s, The dreams, haunting dreams, Ghosts of memories, haunting me, Screaming in agony, inside, Silent all around, Inside pain erupts, Agony, constant agony, No one to hear, No one…

No Good Journey

Off to the track, dollar bill, highest sum in the pocket, Dog running, collar bare, illegally bought at local fare, Young man, running around, Tanned and built on the tred-mill, So ill, down with the local trend, driving that fast riding mare, Around and around, circle by circle, to the winners stand, First place medal…

Are You I?

When you can’t find meaning in life, Where do you land, Mind looking back, past hitting you fast, Faster than fast, Unbridled energy unleashed with each memory, Toxic regret ripping heart apart, Tearing lives, our life, your life apart, Memories, faster than fast, Ripping through life just like that, Where did you run too, Where…

Seconds

Sitting on the couch, Watching the scale slide high, Bigger than a pine cone, Taller than a pine tree, Heavier than pine cream tea, Mixed in heavy canned cream, Steamy, wafting high in empty air, Dreams, hitting in the solarplex, Indiscriminate, judging me till I blow up, Caught up in jail house thoughts, Tree’s falling…
