Stranger than Fiction (Poem)

Dedicated to my sister in recovery, Naomi… I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried
The things I go through just to get high I have a disease that tells me I’m okay
I don’t need help
I’m the boss of me

Silver Linings (Lyrics)

I tried to find a way out
Row, row rainboat
I’ll sail it if you say so
I came in on a pink cloud

The Winepress of Hate (Journal Entry)

The delusions of mankind are like shards beneath my feet, bruises on my skin, a fight that I can’t win. I’m drowning in a winepress of narcissistic hate. Peddled out to foolish trolls drunk on hurt and fame. 

They stomp it out, then bottle it up, and pass it off as love. But the mess that’s left behind is all but brushed under the rug. 

The fruit of the vine that keeps on giving, never stops, it carries on. When everything is taken, new life begins to grow. Gathered into compost, scattered in the fields, feeding all the new vines for generations yield. 

So you can throw me in the winepress of narcissistic hate. You can take what’s worth the giving and leave the rest to fate. But beware of the delusion that you’re the one in charge as you sip upon my vengeance and blackout in the yard. 

Dance Away (Poem)

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass
It’s about learning to dance in the rain
When all is lost and full of pain
Dance Dance Away

The Crying Room (Poem)

There is no crying at the big kid table If you wanna act like a weeny whiny woo
You can go to the crying room

Lost in Space (Poem)

How can someone who burns so hot be so cold? How can something that feels so right be so wrong? It’s like I’m lost in space and I can’t go home The further I drift The hotter I burn The colder it gets The more I yearn For something less painful than the stake in my back I can’t relax I can’t look at myself This can’t go on I’m still trying to make sense of it I can’t make amends to it

Paper Planes (Poem)

He wanted to fly And he did for a while But every paper plane loses its flight Falls where it falls Floating freestyle
