The past days have been hell for you,I know this because I prepared the fire,Served it while it was blazing hot,And when the fire was about dying out,I added some more coal.Insomnia must have creeped through your walls,With all the doses that kept you up at night.Cold and bitter to swallow,Venom filled words spewed without…… Continue reading Stone Cold

If it gets a little easier why does it seem to take forever? If I get a little stronger why does it feel like I’m getting weaker? If it gets a little better why does it only seem to get worse? Desolate and heartbroken, Words that seem to fit very well in my vocabulary, Words…… Continue reading If
Birdie
Without a care in the world, I make my nest Not burdened by the luxuries and expectations of this world,But trusting in the provision of the keeper,That the sun will not set without a meal in my belly,A worm I will catch,A nectar I will suck, The stream will not run dry.At sunrise, the sounds…… Continue reading Birdie

MISERY
if it fuels my delusion, then it’s probably not good for me, if it leaves my mind wired and craving for it, then it’s best I let it go, if it keeps my strapped to my mental armchair, then it’s probably for the best that I leave, if it leaves me stuck and confused then…… Continue reading MISERY
