(D)Rift

Every word is so fake.Wish you’d give it a break.Jaw is always a flapping.Its like you’re endlessly rapping. Noise burrows into my brain.All of it is such a drain.And with nothing else to hear,I know I need to get out fast my dear. Cause you’ll be the death of me.That’s not how it’s supposed toContinue reading “(D)Rift”

Water

Flow through the trenches.Feed on the stone.Temples of nature.Sphere that’s our home. Writhe in the dirt.Erode and redeposit.Carve at the surface.Make it cursive. Write the tales of history.Forge new masses of ingenuity.Empires rise and fall again.But we are permanent and unending. Trickle then roar.Cutting some more.Mark out the heavens.Always in sessions.

Growing Pains

Violence is not a state of mind;It is an affliction that’s most unkind.Release the pain and set it free;If you don’t you’ll drown in negativity. These are words to commit to memory.Say this before you count to three.You have no reason to beat yourself.That will never save your health.And shortening days is a crime.Don’t fallContinue reading “Growing Pains”

Censure

I’m always in trouble, it’s just the depth that varies.At this point I’d be better roaming the prairies.You think I’m joking but it’s so true.Ever word out my mouth is an offence to more than a few.Feels like I should just never speak again.Take a vow of silence and ignore everything.Live in a shack upContinue reading “Censure”

Talent And Treachery

Hey everybody! Back for another story post. This time I have a fiction story. Don’t really have any other categorization to give it beyond that. Though, I think you might believe otherwise when you start reading it. That’s all I’m saying. Not spoiling anything. Just a little hint is all you’re getting. Anyway, it’s aboutContinue reading “Talent And Treachery”

Judgement Rendered

Testify to the gods below about how you don’t deserve this though.Did they heed your words like you thought that they would?Or was it just a pointless waste of time you haven’t got?These are questions that you should’ve thought.But you were too busy drinking in all of your hype.Did you never hear that indulging willContinue reading “Judgement Rendered”

Conflict In Waves

There is so much noise in the air.Can’t focus on a single note of it here.My brain is scrambled and I need some quiet.Feels like my head is having a riot.A war between nameless, faceless things.Not sure what any of them might bring.So give me a moment to pause and think.Before I go right pastContinue reading “Conflict In Waves”

Through The Shallows

Raindrops pour from the sky again.It feels like it just won’t wane.Your mood fits with the weather.You’re really not feeling clever.Roam about with your head low.Misery will not let you go;Release the hold it has on you.Offer a respite if only for a few. Cause it won’t last forever.Keep your chin up and endeavour.Fight throughContinue reading “Through The Shallows”

Dug Right In

Panic lies right beneath the skin.I never wanted to let it in.Wormed its way to the win.I can feel it creeping. But the crawl isn’t quite enough.Everything it wants to call a bluff.Makes me question what came before.All the names wear at my core.Sabotage each new prospect.Little that it does not affect.It’s like I’m woodContinue reading “Dug Right In”

Taking The Reins

This is a story without heroes. As to whether who you brand villains, or the worst of those who appear, is up to you. Past that, this is a story set in our near future but is a hyper negative version of where it could end up. Really can’t say more than that without spoilingContinue reading “Taking The Reins”
