1 minute

. . The anger I feel boils just beneath the surface I’m suffocating on the rage I see a red landscape covered in disgust I look back at the dred smothered in disdain I look forward to repulsion caked in jealousy Murderous impulse held down with strings of regret Hatred of all things light All […]

Mask

. . . I’m tired of the mask The fake smiles, little laughs Dawning a life far fetched from my own Covering a secret, battered skin, fragile bone Wounds from my battle, long since past Take a slow breath, pray its the last Want to be break free, let go, move on Let the disease […]

Haiku 40

. . . . My tears flow like rain Capsized by the pain I feel Drowning in their hate

Bleeding

. . . I suffer in darkness As the color bleeds away Leaving me lifeless A mere shadow of who I was

At Last, At Peace

. . . . It’s been a while since I let tears shed in your name Not because you’re unworthy, rather because you’re at peace I am unaware of how we ended up here Pulled in 2 directions Yet each landing on our feet, in different places. I look up at night and smile Knowing […]

Agony

The pain is only overwhelmed by the numbness The raw burning vibrating through my body. No escape, not even for a minute, The agony is constant Nothing eases the hurt radiating my spirit, bringing my closer to the edge. It is evident by the screaming, someone thinks this is deserved What did I do to […]

Haiku 39

. . . These piercing eyes see Prepared for what’s coming next Calmness on the pond . . . .

Carry

. . . Darkness is stewng in my mind Keep sifting through memories I’m not sure what you’ll find Moments of weakness wrapped in regret I’ll swallow anything, please, just let me forget Challenged by demons I thought I had beat If I stay on this path, I’ll be doomed to repeat If I just […]

Repeat

. . . I feel no pain Yet the tears fall I harbor no ill will Yet revenge is in my mind I can’t remember when it started But I am praying for an end Can’t win the battle tonight A truce until tomorrow And I’ll do it all again Yet relive the moment ending

Fly

. . . When I dream I see you Blonde hair blowing in the breeze Not a care in the world Or a worry in your mind This is how you’re remembered The little girl that dared to fly
