Trudging the depths of melancholy.Stings like barbs found on holly.As storms swirl inside my head.Sometimes it’s better to go straight to bed.Pause this tug of war in stalemate.No point delving further into a pit of self hate. Pacing back and forth like a tool.Repetition could see me become the fool.Sabotaging days to make them greyer.AsContinue reading “Barbs On Holly”

These Plains
Walk these plains but never really know.What is above might reside below. Confusion seeping into your daily routine.While across the river it might not be so green.A constant war with which you have to contend.Meanwhile the sky starts to rend. Tallying up where you are right now.Do you occupy any sort of morale high ground?WhetherContinue reading “These Plains”
Muddy Waters
I dream in monochrome.Stitched tiles form my home.With a head filled to bursting.Need a remedy to cease this occurring. Patchwork I can’t keep together.Coming apart at these poorly stitched seams.Running round and round showing no progress.Stuck in this expanse of emptiness.Desperate for a reset. Waking sees colour bleeding in.Amplifying my every problem.Muddying waters already inpenetrable.CanContinue reading “Muddy Waters”
My Dear
You feel fear welling up from inside.No longer is it something you can hide.Creeping despair ensnaring you whole.It has only one simple goal.Consume you and twist you numb.Keep you always afraid of everyone.But you don’t have to relent.Face this pain without company.Open up and bare your soul.It isn’t giving up all your control. Nervous twitchContinue reading “My Dear”
Profit Only
What we leave behind are scraps and pungent rot.It seems that all we learned we have forgot.Shoved progress down into a deep dark hole.Instead we pledge to giving up control.Feeding a machine that consumes us in entirety.What might be for some is not for everybody.There is no freedom in this old new world order.Oppression reignsContinue reading “Profit Only”
Bubonic Drivel
Peek around a corner and you will see a psycho.Wrapped up in disorder as he tries to distract from his own debauchery.Are there any limits to actions that will be taken?We all know the answers and they are entrenched firmly in a negative location. Tear out an eye but you’ll still be screaming.For too longContinue reading “Bubonic Drivel”
Didn’t Sow
Stood on the shoulders of ancients.Grifted all that could be had from the vacant.Reaping what you didn’t sow.Claiming victory against the innocent.Falsifying knowledge you do not know.Lining pockets with stolen pride.Every action you take claims another life. Get out before I break you to dust.For too long you have been nothing but mistrust.Scamming when youContinue reading “Didn’t Sow”
Lights
Dazzling multi-coloured dream.To see them makes me feel serene.Brings a smile to my lips.Regardless of how this weather nips.As I stroll right on by.Grinning with a child-like sparkle in my eyes. Twinkle better than a star.Cause one is near while the other is so far.Filling my heart with light.To me nothing is quite so bright.BringingContinue reading “Lights”
What’s Inside
Bright eyed and gripped by panic.Enough nervous energy to keep me manic.As sand shifts and times change,I wonder what will come to pass.Will tomorrow be an improvement on yesterday?Rather than it be another notch further into this quagmire. Feeling light headed and dizzy.Chattering without saying anything.Cynicism becoming the world.Rage-baiting continuously hurled.Want to shield from allContinue reading “What’s Inside”
Beacon
You are the brightest light to shine in the night.Piercing the veil draped over my heart.Shatter ice frozen upon my ragged form.Welcome me back to this realm of living.Your face sparkles in my mind’s eye.Never will you be lost to me. Chip away the rock that has come to form my skin.Take these piece andContinue reading “Beacon”
