Too much light

Poked, prodded, blown on

A giant lab coat swirls around

Nose hairs

Cystic acne

Scribbled gibberish on a white piece of paper

I can clearly read the “Hmmms” and “Ahhhs” from their lips

Pressure mounts up

Tension and dull pain radiate

No matter how much I try…the letters fade

Black and crisp now gray and blurry

Maybe not forever

Maybe just one more year

Darker and darker my world beco...

Was I the only to see them? To see them as they truly were? I begged my mother not to go outside when they visited. But she shushed me away.

“How dare you disrespect our angels like this? They come all the way from heaven just to bless us with their presence and here you are making stories up about them! You should be ashamed of yourself.” She snapped.

“Mother, please, I know what I saw! The red ...

“You’ve got the wrong guy!” He shouted, dazed and confused.

Hard, calloused hands grabbed him by his ripped Metallica shirt. The dark suited men with stoic eyes said nothing as they shoved his face into the pillow on his couch and hog tied him.

“STOP! Please Stop! I don’t know what you’re doing? Why are you doing this?” He yelled more.

The suits nodded at one another and wrapped this mouth wi...

La tarde siempre viene

Darkness comes every night

Warm and fuzzy

Slowly creeping in the corners

Slowly taking over the light

Slowly covering me in peace

The darkness always comes

With its bad rap

Scared people scare easy

In my room

Darkness is welcomed

Slow

Creeping

Peaceful darkness...

She winces, she cringes, she criticizes, and after she takes it all in, she remembers who she stares at in the mirror, the most beautiful person she knows....

My best friend died. They died on another planet. In another dimension. Now they float. Endlessly until they reach me again. Spirals. Lunging forward, dropping backwards, spiraling round and round. I find them in my mind sometimes. Deja vu. Dreams. Sleep like trances while i drive. They wont be long. I feel them close by. I cant wait to remeet you best friend....

I cant keep a secret

My mouth is too wide

Vomit comes out in the form of words

It’s been my downfall…

And my savior...

Peace didn’t live there.

It never really did.

Anxiety and stress reigned supreme in the tiny, artless, half empty, beige apartment.

Stability didn’t live there either. Hence the tiny, artless, half empty, beige apartment, with no need for furniture because we couldn’t stay longer than a few months.

Money didn’t live there consistently. Hence living in the tiny, artless, half empty, beige apartm...

Held, beheld, beloved

Tiny arms

Chunky fists

Round chubby cheeks

Held, beheld, beloved

Swirly curls

Bright brown eyes

Soft tummy rumbles

Held, beheld, beloved

Cut up arms

Scared up wrists

Sunken cheeks

Held, beheld, beloved

Long lost locks

Dimmed out eyes

Im done with lies

Held, beheld, beloved...

My crimson obsession locked her into place. Movement was no longer available to her. Up and down she desperately moved her body trying to break free of the ropes that bound her, but the harder she struggled, the stronger the knot. Oily sweat ran down her forehead, trickling past her chapped lips, whimpering sweet nothings into the air. I could almost feel the pain resonating through the air, but I...
