What is fear ?

Is it a man losing his famaily

Like a house losing it core ,brick by brick

,name by name

Dose fear fear itself

Dose it see itself the way we see ourselves

A outer shell with a void we continue

to feed with constant limitations

The eyes of every dead solder before you

The weight of the world on its back living to the expectations of the gods

Who put you on this hell called ...

The dreams turn to nightmares

The flat of the shoes

The foot in the heel

Pre adderall and I have a blank stare

the poem of who?

does she even feel?

She is only awake when she sleeps

She destroys monsters

Yeah he hurts her but his face isn’t in it.

What else can I reap?

Whom can I stir?

That’s what they think about me

Fine, done deal...

I live in the moment.

I pay attention.

I create.

The mind is an infinite, unlimited flow of imagination.

I reach far, far, far into the depths of my soul.

I live!

I live!

I live.

One can dream, right?...

Nothing feels quite like that boney hand, holding down your face in sheets like an evil little shit that holds their sibling down below the water. The hand scratches against your face, as the duvet, familiar and weathered, incubates your perfectly comfortable little atmosphere.

Snapped-like a crisp vegetable

Broken as the back of a camel

Gone-like a box of quetips

Down as a torn wall

Crossed by a reflection

This heart won’t thaw

Left to the cruel

Found by the lost

Eyes now open

What?

This is where I am

I am this...

Once…(just once more)

Sinews of light reach the orbs, eyes

Rendering image after image

Blank page after blank page

The darkness in me

Refocused in a blink...

The delusion of grief hangs in the air like cigarette smoke

Lingering still from the night I murdered you

People always run from what is true

That’s why I love you so

I took you home and talked with you

Every word like an atheists prayer,

Every breath a breeze in a night sky

Every silence a deafening echo.

I danced with you to feel

The way your body moved under my hands

Every step making a map on...

I opened my eyes.

The alarm clock blaring,

Pulling me from sleep,

Pushing me into the day,

I opened my eyes.

As I looked in the mirror

A sparkle glimmered within my eyes,

I smiled with hope of a new beginning,

A rising confidence surging over me,

Pulling on my beat-up trainers,

Felt like slow motion, the way I could feel every breath I was taking; I could feel my heart beat echoing in my chest, like the feeling of bouncing a ball in an empty gym.

Trying to quiet my heart beat, not wanting him to hear it break. My crying gave it away. It was time to go....

I always felt bad for her.

I watched him give her withering stares,

Crumbling her self worth,

Staring at her withering soul

And treating her like nothing.

He did the same to me.

To my brothers.

And that's how we grew up.

And protect her children.
