You say you are so hard done by You want my sympathies You want me to hear you, yet be silent How dare you. You claim to know me If you knew me All the things that make me Who I truly am You would be ashamed You should be ashamed Yet This is all [...]

Playlists and Other Dangerous Goods
Tears prick my eyes Years pass like shock waves through my body Time, a sucking wound, in the center of my soul So unassuming, who knew it could be a weapon It pours over me, molten, melting away barriers Nerves exposed and vulnerable I acknowledge my strength, my insignificance I am humbled Varied, exciting and [...]
The Blaring Silence
Echoes ricochet The hollow rings loudly Everything and Nothing Too Many Things It's effect deafens Changing what was once warm to cold Welcoming to Harsh Lights of blue and red flash all around Distracting Intentional Dread creeps in along with the sound Heavy footfalls and the wail of a siren It's all too much I [...]

Genuine
It was all Fake Everything It was a Front - It was a Ruse It's True All this time you spend building this thing - you have been Lying How hollowing to see it for the first time It's a Lie What happens now? Plan B was always Plan A Where is the Path? How [...]
