POETRY
My poetry is written from the depths of a broken heart. A heart that endured verbal, emotional, and other abuses over the course of 6+ months. Seeing the end of 20 years of a life that was built devastated me heavily. I learned that those we put our most into are who hurt us the most. If you or anyone you know needs help, please call 988. When someone around you is hurting, you can offer them the three H’s. To be HEARD, to be HUGGED, or to be HELPED. You are loved, your emotions are valid, and you are valid.
October 26th v2
October 26th a paradigm of personal prodigiousness came awake
A train of thought causing thoughtlessness made you quake
To lie and lay in a laborious callousness cohesionless consciousness
A decision of decadence, delightful and disastrous devilishness
You made your text, tenuous and tenacious, delightfully indulgent
Secret salaciousness causing stashes of stoic lies so pungent
But you pushed forward November 16th was the day of disastrous destiny
I, me, mine, a mindless minefield, change clothes to change faith hellishly
Dressing down from dressing up, desiring a destiny of destruction
While a worker worked as you worked at waking a demon of destruction
Care became callousness, cloaked in a cacophony of open lips
Shooting from the hip helplessly held off by a moment of zips
At home, you held a hidden gem to lay and lie penetrated to remember
Remembering the time you tore asunder a duplet in November
The crime was caught and the criminal was creative in morality
Recused, relative and reverend were the actions of a screaming duplicity
Therapists therapeutically taught the lesson of the reclamation of love
Ignorantly ignored by half-truths that intentionally required no shove
Halfwitted and halfcocked in a home for happiness a truth comes out
Begging and bleeding, wishing and wanting, the truth not devout
Divided States of being
Being selfish isn't just a state of being, meaning that the world is larger than just you
Being selfless isn't just a state being, meaning the world is smaller than all of us
Self-preservation is just a state of you saving yourself from what you are asked to do
Selfless self-preservation is a state of understanding that you must stand for justice
Selfish self-preservation is a state of me, at my hand, the guilty will suffer as will the just
Honesty means that the truth is wicked and in denial we will deal the blow that kills self
Dishonesty is dealing from the bottom, telling the top card its not time to bust
Moral relativity is taking another player's cards, and claiming your own, all for yourself
Running is an act of attrition to a means of working to no end except ending without cause
It is the route of those of weak will and meant to preserve themselves from their bomb
The timer reaches zero and in a brief moment all is calm, now is too late no time to pause
The rubble of your destruction is brutal, no gauze, no bandage, no help, no balm
But here I am in a hell of your creation
Here is a room with no hope of salvation
Waiting for a moment a hastened damnation
Wanting to start my own time of elation
Free Flow (unedited and incomplete)
It's broken down, and all I see is me, but I can't be what I want to be, so I'm just going to have to be free. Raise the mast, sail to the sea, everything I ever wanted, and you're nothing I ever want to be.
So I'll go down to the shore, skip a rock, cast my reel, catch a fish, reel it in, but nothing could ever be as real as what I saw in you.
Yes, I know your brain is broken. It's not a joke; I feel for you. I'll have love for you, but I'll never ever want to see inside of you, 'cause what you are is not what I want me to be. I can live a life, but you'll live a lie, never wanting to be free, contained. Trust me, I don't want you to die. I want you to live. I want you to breathe. I want your heart to flourish truth and honesty.
It's not enough for my wants and wishes. What you did was never the dishes you dished out, but you never received. From the serving spoon to my mouth is all you would feed. I would never be free living in the constraints of your life, living in the constraints of your lives, living in the horror of your hell that you created, that you bred, that you kept alive.
So no one here will ever think that what happened wasn't the truth, but what you always needed was the proof; proof of love, proof of life that could never be, a proof of yourself to improve upon what could not be improved. Your mental state, your mental life, your mental health, synapses run deep. What doesn't run deep as your love, what doesn't run deep is the love, the move to shove, the move to grow. Everything that we are is something you will never know, a sick mind buried under the weight of your sin.
We are people; you're a monster, you're an animal, you're seen, but what you will do is come in and destroy a scene we find serene. But whatever you want to call it, that's just mean, it's cruel, it's callous, and it's unkind; 'cause all you're stuck with at the end of the day is your mind. It's broken, it's battered, it's bruised and belittled. But what you don't understand is that you're confused.
It isn't as much as I see for the truth. What I see for you is darkness and doom. I don't know, maybe it's me, maybe it's just a gloom, but when I look at you all I see is a room empty in the void of furniture and life. Stillness, quietness, be gone, be damned for everything that has ever been tried regardless of what you want. My heart has now died.
But is code blue resuscitate a survivor in this room? I am truly alive. I lay in a bed that's a long gone cold; a corpse, of hoping, of dreams, and of a future unspoken. But what you don't get and what you won't realize is you were standing there on the day that you died. Not that you died in the physical sense but mentally the snap is what you are about, but it's not. Candidly, it's cruelty in malice and hate.
Peace is a lie.
Pieces will die.
But a part of the place that once stood of stone is gone for good. A brittle bone, an ocean, a wave, a tumbling cloud come down like the sun is thunder. It's loud, it's raining, it's pouring, but this old man isn't snoring. It doesn't matter what you think 'cause what you are is just a blink in the eye of a man who's now moving forward, leaving you behind with all that he has, with all that he had, with all that he will have, with what he will be, with what he will see without you. He is totally free, free from the pain, and free from the lies, free from abuse, and free of your strife.
You attacked, and you fought, and at the end of the day, I still lost. But what hurts the most is the feeling of hate that comes from your lips. At the end of the night, you were cruel and unkind from your own lips words were spoken. Everything that is here because of you is broken, but it doesn't really matter. You won't see your cat, but what you don't get is that it's not all about that. What you will never ever have is about what you never ever were. You were never true, you were never honest, you were never right. You lied and distorted the truth from everyone you saw; it was diffused behind a bomb, and behind the blast is where I stood.
So fuck around and find out, that's what they all say. But today is the day that I have to go far away, far away from the feeling of your adulterous tone. You didn't just fuck him, you fucked me, you fucked us, so in that, I say fuck you. This isn't coming from anger, or from any dark place, but what it's coming from is my safe space. You said you knew who I thought you were through my poetry and pictures, but what you never posed for was the peace. Smile.
