Literature Text

Each day I find myself crawling closer

To the edge of what might be called insanity.

Repetitive actions carve a demented fate into my memory

But always, always, I carry out the same.

If you were the voice inside my head,

I wonder, what would you tell me?

That I am stuck in the mire of my begotten routine

Waiting only to be buried in sweet serene?

Ah but if I go, then this verse I beg you tell:

Would you be the angel that follows me into hell?

With barely a nerve left to feel what I had once called pain;

Still, I fear, I'll die alone once again.

Invincible

I am a laborer of dreams and I'm building up a pyramid. The ghosts might try to kill me but I learned to always live with it. The fragile thoughts that draw you to the edge of your ill mind; Believe when I say that giving up would be a true crime. The only thing that you should do is plow ahead forward, No stepping back because I got your back and that's a foreword An introductory paragraph to what it means to me, when I have always told you that we are going to be:

Depression is an Option

Depression is a choice, my dear, And happiness the same You choose this illness, don’t you? What a tragic little game. Depression is an option, love Just get up out of bed Take your tears and worries And just smile now instead. Depression is a choice, you see, And so is suicide. Just sit back, kick your feet up, dear Enjoy this perfect ride. Get over your own standards Of what everyone should be. Just smile for once, and maybe You’ll be living perfectly. ... But... Depression is an illness That we feel so deep within. Why would anybody choose To write poetry on their skin? Unless there lies a reason, dear, I would not choo

Three Little Words

Three little words With such big meaning; Three little words To cure hearts that are bleeding; Three little words A heart yearns to hear; Three little words To whom you hold dear; Three little words So many don't say; Three little words That don't find their way; Three little words That I hope we all see: "I love me."

the breadth of knowledge spans countless eons and the bamboo lanes that I walk are all too familiar to me; except not. I find places that feel like home, only to find I had never been there before. I experience exquisite moments, only to find that it had never happened before. I meet people that feel like long lost family and friends, only to find that we have never spoken before that moment. so, I explore further delving into my soul to find t

Moss Green

Moss green fence slats lay decaying in the backyard, half dried from recent rain. The squirrels rustle across dead leaves, fleeing barking dogs and near-silent cats prowling for a quick meal. Pollen saturates the air; mushrooms grow in the shade of fallen branches as the fuzz of lichen creeps over a trunk felled in favor of a wooden fence.
