Regret has found me knocking at its door again. Shame answered immediately as if it had been waiting for its old friend. Opening its door where the comfy couch is that I turn my thoughts over in exchange for inner peace and solace. There is a spot molded to my body where I take...

There's No Fuel Like an Old Fuel
She took a stroll one moonlit night in search of lumps of anthracite. She knew that coal could soothe her soul: one moonlit night, she took a stroll. Insomniac, anaplasty coal soothed her soul: but she knew she would need, to get her nostrils back, anaplasty. Insomniac, obsessed with smoking magic weed, to get her nostrils back, she’d need a plastic surgeon – but the...

Marks of a survivor
Each scar has a name, etched into my skin— White lines barely visible on my pale arms. There’s one for every heartbreak I ever got, One for each battle I silently fought, One for all the wrongdoings I had, For every time my thoughts turned bad. Each scar holds a memory, a ghost from the past, Every cut done silently, hidden away...

HIV: The Capitalist Virus
They said you came from chimpanzees— That deep in some African jungle You leapt across species, A silent hunter cloaked in blood. But we have lived with chimpanzees For tens of thousands of years. We shared forests, We shared meat, We shared mythologies. Why now? They claim you're a natural disease— But if that were true, Why does nature not offer a cure? Polio fell. Smallpox vanished. Yet you—since...

Premium Member Death to Life in Him
Death is to be my great enemy For in living I am to be The friend of life, and put to death That force that longs to steal my breath— Away! — away that hallowed hollow grave My ally, the stone that bears my name The one, oh would that I could fill That hole, that bowl of earth To swallow me down...

Voices in the Void
Without my pen, the pain becomes my voice. The cruelty of others, the hardness of their hearts, Linger in this place of cult, Where public shaming is currency. I scream for help, face to face, Yet they cast me deeper into despair. Tears bleed red, patience drains, My heart trembles, a silent echo in the vast universe. My eyes never dry, my body...

The forgotten killer
Hopelessness When your body and mind are disconnected When your falling in a sea of darkness and accept it When the silence is loud you can hear your heartbeat It's the feeling of a deep pit In your stomach All the contents of your stomach being Consumed by it Replaced by the feeling of sickness Leaving a...

Premium Member a love poem to my recovery
no i wouldn't die for you. i wouldn't, and i'm not sorry. i spent too long hiding in the shadows, waiting lurking wanting and hoping that they'd see that I would have. in an instant, i would have. a bullet, a train, a grenade, a pile of pills. i would've taken any of them for anyone. but instead, life shot me with an arrow. life gave me you. this...

The Pillow
Empty words, empty souls , a pillow, a savior, Like sweet flavor, an anchor much braver, There to save you.. And what for? To keep you from sinking deeper From the images that make them think you're a creeper A vision of the reaper, a version much cheaper The scary monster, a creature, the biggest traitor, Who is there to save you? Hunting memories,...
