I have decided to start writing and documenting my poems into one thread instead of spamming words.

This thread will magically turn into whatever you thought it was going to be. Thanks for reading.


"Dead baby" -5/2/2021

Can I tell you something?
I’ve either been high or drunk,
fighting with family, my love,
myself,
selling bits of my soul in collectible baubles,
covered in sharkish crabs on a beach of microscopic lies,
something is always in the way,
but now
I’ve lost my house, dropped my mind,
running out of my precious time,
Yet, found this-
place,
a respite from cold drippings on my head,
you should see it;
the light.
For the first time in my life I'm not afraid
to die,
for what I fear is regret of which I did not
try.

No baby, you're going to live,
you're going to live whether you work
20 hours a day stacking up coal
and shower at night, grim,
attempting to unbury your soul
or
you're going to have a house and 2 kids
while you're on welfare
you're going to create a beautiful life
even with the roof of your skull
blown away
you're going to live deaf
humbled
demented
diluted and
deluded
you're going to live with a cat who sleeps
on your chest, snoring, twitching,
and reminding you
to dream
while the whole world shakes
in fear
seeking shelter from the endless bombardment
from death.

Baby, we're going to light this world up
or maybe have nothing to do with it
and never make it
but
we're never going to stop trying to find
a peace and calmness;
a worthy domain for my mind.
 
I shut my eyes and the world drops dead
I open them and the world revives
I think this tragedy may be inside my head
Unlimited tries, but not to pretend
Let me presume something new to see
When arbitrary darkness washes over me
I think I made this up inside my head
When morning comes I will proceed
To overthink this while I go back to bed

Look man
We can do this
Easy
Or very easy
Don't be a fool
There's nowhere
To run
In the
Failing
Light
Magic hour
Take em
Down
To
Chinatown
 
A stab of pain
Above
The bridge collecting rain
Below
Knowing the places
I must go
Angels on my left
Nothing on my right
One day I may lose
The fight
The children might use me
As a kite
Whatever you do
Don't tell Walter Cronkite
Time to go punch
The chess clock delt
But I'm not playing with anyone
But myself
 
Limp around town and need a little stability
Maybe a little less alcohol and a bit of humility?
Just walked into a bar I've never been to before
Yet the bartender knows me by name, the dead on tour?
These aren't people, zombies crowd around
Devour me, tickle me, then parade around town

Keeping it safe for now, chasing a fantasy
Wish I could forget what I did to my family
Whenever I remember what I need to do
Feels a bit better to write my way through
Keep looking for magic within the stars
Brain stuck on Earth while my head is on Mars

I called myself and thought it was an oddity
when I responded I needed to hide my own body

(unfinished scribble)

what? who? snafu??
don't sing me those crap songs
 
I tripped on a gravestone
in the dark
stumbling drunk
there was nobody there
to hear my grunt

"Graveyards seem like a fairly exclusive place to be buried these days"... I thought
then I walked home
 
Tonight I have written the saddest
of lines.
Now it's time to get
hungover.
Time, time, time.
