It's that time of year again.

There's not much to say really. Or maybe, there's too much and I just can't fathom where to begin. Hah, I typo-ed begin as 'being'. I don't know where to be, how to be, who to be anymore.

the musings of a sad drunken mind

I am too much and not enough for you, I try too hard but am always wrong. I am new to this and do not yet know what should be done, but I know that I am not doing it, not fulfilling your expectations because I can sense the distance between us growing. I know the end is coming, less than 2 weeks away now, but I don't know how we will play this out. Will we end beforehand or shall it be a last minute thing at the very last party we attend together? Maybe you have imagined that we would continue beyond this realm, but by the way the last week has gone, and the way you are acting towards me now, I do not think that it is in your future plans anymore, if it ever was. I am still in doubt as to whether I would like us to be more than just this here. I can't help but feel that I am not enough for you. Yes, my standards should be higher, you should be taller, smarter, better, but also I am not good enough for you. I am not good enough for anyone, who am I really? I have nothing, know nothing, am nothing.

freefall into the well

she holds the rope,
one last chance to save herself
some strength required
but not too much of a challenge

pull up? let go?
fight? drown?
flitting thoughts through
a troubled mind

life was too much
but never enough
there was nobody on her side
baby was stuck in her corner

a point to this?
was there ever a point?
life was meaningless.

one clenched fist remains
one dangles loosely by her side
let go or hold on...
decisions, decisions.

Slowly one hand begins
to loosen its grip
on the inside of her pocket
and swing up to grab the rope

For the moment
she will fight
attempt to conquer
the almost unbearable.

swinging on vines sprouting from the seeds of a lonely mind

press down on my shoulders
bow my spine and shed my tears
losing my voice, frantic words caught in the dead silence of the black hole that is me

futile urges burn me from the inside
fires are dangerous when untended
who can tend to something that has no form?

gorging, feasting, devouring all will end
no more consumption,
this is the construction

warning: a better me, a thinner me, a not-me me shall arrive
bring on the death. down with the old and the real.

Rust my bones, I am a machine

I function not within the boundaries of normality
I am an outsider, you will never tame me
I cannot follow the crowd, I was not created so
Faulty designing, I will admit
I need to belong
But am the artless outcast
Fumbling in my misfit body .

Dry me up and scatter my dust

i am alone
always alone
no one can see me here
can hear me here
wants me here

i choke on the words
lodged in my throat
never to be heard

i need a listener
a confessional
i have sinned
more than you could ever imagine
and the likes of which
you would never do

i am unworthy
but crave acceptance
destined to be
the eternal outsider

Summer Days

A summery sky inspires much lighter thoughts within
It brings joy to see the playful clouds blown by the gentle wind.
The sunshine is a spotlight upon all the tanning faces
Because most people flock to beaches like birds to warmer places.
Summerdays allow one to venture outside to read or write
Where one could sit for hours before the fall of heated summernight.

Abuse

Fearful, I lay silent and still
Hide my tense form,
Too late, I think as he grabs my hair,
He’s already seen me.

Abuse
That’s all I get from him
Abuse
That’s all I can take from him.

Why did he choose me?
I’ve never done a thing to him
I’ll always be a thing to him
Just another blank face
I’m not his daughter,
I’m not of his blood,
I’m just another thing for him to use
I’m just another thing for him to abuse.

Abuse
That’s all I get from him
Abuse
That’s all I can take from him.

After he’s gone
As I lay in my bed
I feel hurt and ashamed
but that’s nothing new
Cause even when he's gone
I'm still here
Left all alone
with all my fears.

Closer Than You Think

You think it's apart from you
And that you're not involved
But no matter where you go
Or what you do
Little do you know
It's a part of you
Burning deep down inside
Hidden beneath your convenient cover lies
It bides it's time
And worms it's way through you
Unbeknownst to your mind
It is buried inside of you
It beats along with your racing heart
And feels the thrumming of your pulse
It shakes with every step you make
And breathes along with every breath you take
You feel it throbbing inside of you
Pulsing with it's black desires.
Can you feel it's inner pull,
Waiting to pull you down,
To tell you all the truths
That you denied about yourself?

Monster Inside

I am a monster inside
They say I’m not but they don’t know me
My urges, my desires
If they knew, they would run and for that, I reject them
I need someone who understands
The rage, the fear, the pain inside me
I should be destroyed.
I gave my love a glimpse of the real me
And it cost me deeply,
A little more of my spirit died,
Because my love ran
I need someone who won’t reject me,
Someone who’ll stay by me
Someone who won’t be disgusted by me
That will be hard, near impossible
Even I sicken myself.
