Hero To Zero

Understanding ain’t always easy.It can take a lot to not turn sleazy.Become a selfish arrogant fool.Take it out when life won’t bow to you. But sometimes you need to be the hero.Even when you feel like a downtrodden zero.For not every dice roll can be a win.Just have to try all over again. Making changesContinue reading “Hero To Zero”

One Less

Separation was on the cards long before it came.I could see the signs but carried on, all the same.Still when it struck the sting was no less.Left sitting here there was pain, I must confess. Severed.Cut away.One less person in my life from today.Removed.Set free.Wish you the best as our ships sail away. Not aloneContinue reading “One Less”

Out Of Currency To Bribe Or Bully

I got a want to need need need.And so I hunt with speed indeed.For there is no route that I won’t walk.Remember that before you decide to talk,About your heresy lined deep desire.Or you might end up on a funeral pyre. Get out, get down, your it.Sick of this selfish stupid shit.Step out, step down,Continue reading “Out Of Currency To Bribe Or Bully”

Wanderer

I walk these roads alone.No one here to guide me home.Solitary but choice and chance.Sometimes it stings like a lance.Yet never do I change my course.Might have to be done by force.Though do I think it would change me?No, I believe this is who I am always gonna be. Singular.Not pariah.I built this palace.Its myContinue reading “Wanderer”

Unaccepting Of This Knowledge

Have you ever stared into your mortal soul?Cursed with the knowledge it will go.Eager to leave behind something of value.Substance is what we always strive to… Give us meaning.Show us progress.Feed us with that which is permanent.Otherwise we will wither away.Become the embodiment of decay. Will you ever sign your name in blood?Mark yourself inContinue reading “Unaccepting Of This Knowledge”

Jessie

Eyes full of spirit alongside a playful grin.Then there were the glances filled with sin.And when you were younger you tried to round us all up.Would’ve had us run in circles ’til our heads went pop.Yet to know you’re gone brings a sadness wave.Though to the end you were, as ever, brave.Heart of gold andContinue reading “Jessie”

Let Me Drift

Sleep will not come for me.What am I to do about this truly?Close my eyes but don’t drift off.Feel like I’m watching the clock.Tick and tock but I don’t feel drowsy.If it doesn’t change soon I’m gonna feel lousy.Especially if I see the sun rise.As four am is my normal wake time.And with it beingContinue reading “Let Me Drift”

Wake With Weapons

Wake up one day with an axe in my hand.Why, why; can’t comprehend.Makes me think my dreams were reality.God no, did I kill somebody?Brain foggy and memory obscured.Police, open up; can be heard.Leap out of bed with my chest on fire.Panic and fear burn like a funeral pyre. Then in comes the door.Armed but notContinue reading “Wake With Weapons”
