Who am I?

My never ending search for humanity

The pain helps, sometimes. It tells me the truth, the fragile claim that I'm still human. The thought that I, this bag of meat and bones, am still important, that I'm someone. Rage and the burning fire of hate, keep my fading flame live. The love and the passion, that seem to be a distant dream, keep my hope in a tormenting wishful thinking. My soul, if there ever was one, screams in silence for help, as sorrow has washed...

Is it a destined fate? Or some yet unknown trait? I can’t find the answer What can turn love to hate? When the once warmth turns cold And the sadness takes hold You’re left with only you You will learn truths untold If you had more to give, just maybe you could live But when there’s nothing left, you become a captive You try to hold the light, with your wavering might But the darkness you fear, turns your day into night S...

Once loving words turn hateful Warmth succumbs to frigid frost The greatest joy becomes dull While tomorrow's hope is lostThis has been the life I know A truth always and constant And so my defenses grow Walls built to house a giantTo keep others protected Safe from my own inner gray And myself from future dread But there is a price to payA lover’s sensual grace A bright smile in gratitude Or merely a warm embrace All giv...

Assassinate a friendshipEviscerate a heartAbrade a soul that trustedWhen you chose to depart You knew my fearsWhere I was weakYou learned them over timeI couldn’t be the one you wishedMore your fault than mineYou claim you made adjustmentsThere were some, I agreePerhaps it was untenableThat a new "us" should be But still I’m shocked and reelingMy anchor weighed and goneA lost and helpless feelingFarewell my comfort zone I...

Words Like Knives

I thought this year would be better

Your words are like knives Are they truthful or lies They just ruin lives Tears running from my eyesI know you're trying To pay these bills It’s really just the lying It’s really making me illI only go with what you say Then the calls eventually start This is really ruining my day It’s just breaking my heartThis is quite concerningTo be in the dark You really should be earning Another big question markI’m always left numb...

All the heartaches, the loneliness and disappointments, undeserving of love, unworthy of familyAs if my own little demon, it followed and watched, as it played havoc on those I loved, cackling in gleeThose I let see, they saw the ever haunting demon, witnessing the damage, wisely turning to fleeThe promises to be there, the talk of acceptance, and inspirational voices, all fell to the demon’s spreeThey saw what I didn’t,...

Each year I'm stuck pondering, Thinking about the separate identities September puts on and throws away. Flinging emotions around like dresses Leaping from their hangers, onto the floor Unsure as to what fits best. September didn't mean to be so indecisive With its masks of sentimentality, Euphoria and turmoil. But I'm simply bewildered. September used to bring me to utopia; A world filled with whimsical wonders. A single...

I cried again today I do most days as I awake Questioning why I stay Tethered unhappily to life Tears and panic set in I struggle and thrash about Trying to quiet my mind I listen to the calming sound Your voice whispering the words Calming the inexplicable anxiety I feel I hear those names and feel safe Tears and shaking soon abate I remember why I wake Hearing the names of those I made I try to thank you again You shake...

Departing

The happiest person in your life could hurt you the most.

Having companionship can be the happiest thing in life, but saying goodbye to your companion can be extremely depressing. While you are having so much fun around him, suddenly, he is gone. Either migrated or death, you felt his presence has disappeared in your life. Everything changes. Different laughs, different smiles, different atmosphere, living in a different world. In the earlier stage, it will be the most painful p...

Yesterday, underneath such grey skies, a funeral and one more friend goneToday, too many quiet moments, an unasked for and unwanted lull Within, just beneath the unfeigned calm, lies what many would see as cruel This time, no more anger or sorrow, no streaming tears to hide or battle Tonight, this unsought truth may be cold, but this is what was called my cycle And now, I accept the end result, as all that’s left inside i...
