Paradox Of Loneliness Is Cause & Effect

I’m drowning in the open air,
I’m suffocating as I breath,
Feeling the burden of nothingness,
And in the nothing I...

About a girl

Let me tell you about a girl,
Born without her voice,
Trapped inside the lie,
She told without a choice.

Many struggles tore her soul,
As the years stripped her bare,
Loneliness had taken hold,
She learned how not to...

Argue

You wouldnt know a bad boy if he shot you in the face.
You think you know the right moves so let me put you in your place.
The right moves are the wrong ones and the wrong ones even worse,
you think you say the right words but the right words come...

Only one to be around

Ever sooner leaving me
Losing touch and the will
You take it all with aims to...

Now were at the cross roads

made by other people
people to be played

True Friend

I will listen when you talk
I will listen when you don't
I will notice all the little things
That all the others don't
 
I will quell your whispered screams
I will burn the lonely isle
I will change your twisted dreams
Give you comfort for a while

Girl inside

I felt once so deformed,
Unhappy in myself,
Wishing I chose another me,
From those upon the shelf.

But then I found the courage,
To listen to that voice,
that cherished little part of me,
She presented me a...

June

Feeling lost in my own home,
A void filled with empty space.
Just little ole me, all alone,
In a cold and desolate place.

Too distant from the ones I love,
Too far from those I need,
Too far to feel companionship,
To fear I must...

3 days awake (Descent)

Sleep, the elegant memory of a dream.
Absent now, as if in punishment for a crime I did not commit.
Shackled in a prison of shadow,
Serving time outside of time.
Frozen in a single moment beyond emotion. Held in stasis by deafening silence, silence...

Bright light

Transmorphic light, known as life,
Played on a veil of dreams.
Beyond the very point of meaning,
By any human means.

Life holds no meaning in itself.
It takes a soul to find a truth.
A truth so pure and only yours.
The life you lead's your...

Why

A child of 5, filled with joy.
Innocent, alone, confused.
A child of 10, must be a boy.
Beaten, tortured, abused.
A child of 15, call him Jay.
Lier, cheater, smoker.
A man of 20, lying every day.
User, criminal, broker.
A man of 25, falling apart....

Then from out of nowhere,

Happy face, happy face
Can you see my happy face?
See my smile, see my grin.
I'm thinking of my happy place.

Trying to be happy girl,
Don't shut off, open up,
They must see a happy...

1985, child 2.0
Which model will they get?
Even they don't know.

Still 1985, they think it's boy V 1
The hardware's there, it seems to work.
How could they be wrong?

Suicide

Slow deterioration over long drawn out years.
Undecided choices, clouded by the tears.
I have no more reasons, or none that I can find.
Cuts run too deep, though hidden in my mind.
I've learned from this a lesson,
Death finds us all in the end you...

Happiness should be the journey,
Death the destination,
But modern life is one long pursuit,
Of self worth annihilation.

You cannot see the wood,
For all the wasted paper,
No longer going for a smoke,
Just sucking poison...

Ode to my inny

Once I had an outy
(A penis some might say)
A vagina growing outward
It developed the wrong way

So after many years
When it all became too much
I decided to have it changed
To something I can’t...

NeuroLove

These words come from my attempt,
At my bachelors degree.
But this is what my brain is doing,
When you look at me.

The endorphins start the flood,
(With a little twist).
A shot of seratonin,
In an oxytocin...

When you're low and need a rise

Beyond the shores of pain and tears

Soul Contemplation

Randomly sat
shedding a tear
Drowned in the cold
Wrapped in my fear

No reason I know
Or not one alone
Perhaps it's my life
The answers unknown

People can't help,
they are the cause.
Too many people,
All swinging...

Respect

With power comes money,
With money comes greed,
Only when you earn it,
Can you take away the need,
 
Take away the fears,
Take away the yearning,
Take away hunger,
A lesson for the learning,
 
Learn it while your young,
and learn from your regret,...

Lesson in altruism

Learning lessons while your young,
Will save you from distress,
Listen close to everyone,
Though no-one knows life best,
 
No one person knows it all,
Though many do profess,
You must learn from your own mistakes,
Move forward and aggress,

Letter to the world

Hello world, only me,
just thought I'd let you know,
The strife you've sent is almost clear,
Though progress has been slow.

The workload has been tough,
You've put me to the test,
But now I ask, nay I beg,
May I have a...

See me

If you want me for my body,
For that I loath the most,
You've got me quite mistaken,
That part of me's a ghost.

Want me for my laugh,
Or the way I make you feel,
Don't want me for the scars I hide,
The pain they holds too...

The strength of one
Alone from the start
Lacking a lover
But not lacking heart

Strength from betrayal
Strength from deceit
Strong is the one
That's felt real defeat

From down in the gutter
One becomes free
Free from the love

Some days life seems hard,
Others merely long,
Sometimes I feel life's a joke,
Where everything goes wrong.
Some days it seems I'm happy,
Though rarely this is true.
I just keep my feelings to myself,
There's no need to bother you.

Take it

I beg of you, give me hope,
Give me strength to carry on.
Take away the pain I feel.
Take it back, make it gone.

The anguish which I bare.

Inside me

Can you see the pain,
That lives behind my eyes
Can you hear the truth,
Through all my smiling lies,
Can you feel the torment,
My body causes me
I'm living for the day to come,
I can live with what I see.
If I smile and I seem strong,
I'm doing that...

Life often has its hardships,
It can be difficult, that's true.
But when you stop and really think,
There's only one thing you can do.

One moment to the next,
Forget what you can't change in life,

This year (2017)

Life outside the line,
Not following the rules.
Terror on the streets,
Bullies in the schools.
Bigots on the internet,
Trolls on social media,
Never really smart,
Just reading Wikipedia.
Independent research,
No one uses that,
Because they heard it...

Not believing what you find
