How did i get here
When time goes by
leaving me behind
i sit wondering why
how did this come about
got in to a tail spin
and never ejected out
now i've crashed landed hitting the ground
it's a strange world, the land unknown, unfamiliar
i need to survive and start to rebuild a new life
the home land is gone it was named the past
i got to discover this new land, this new man
leaving me behind
i sit wondering why
how did this come about
got in to a tail spin
and never ejected out
now i've crashed landed hitting the ground
it's a strange world, the land unknown, unfamiliar
i need to survive and start to rebuild a new life
the home land is gone it was named the past
i got to discover this new land, this new man

Post CommentMisery loves Company
he will not let me leave,
everytime i stand to go misery offers me more tea,
sit he'd say i have loads to tell sure whats the rush.
Oh misery let me get on my way,
for the sun is shinning outside and in here is dull and grey,
i want to go see happiness in the beautiful fields and play,
But misery he just shakes his head and tells me this is where i must stay,
my misery loves company and he keeps me locked away.

Kill me.
Kill emotions,
Kill feelings,
Sick of insecurities,
Sick of feeling,
Like you got the best of me,
Sick of fearing,
That you took & ate the rest of me,
Don't not release things,
Don't push it down,
I am releasing,
Not inside,
Let it out,
Kill the pride
KILL! KILL! KILL!
Let it out,
Let 'em doubt,
Not to build,
Deflated body,
Filled with guilt,
Why can't I,
Control inside me,
Myself,
Instead of trying,
To take myself back,
From you & your evil,
I'm off track & frightfully lethal,
KILL! KILL! KILL!
Myself inside,
To stop the feel,
Of you inside,
I'm aware,
How you fuc#!d with my mind,
So now I share,
What's left that hadn't died,
Comes out,
Not down,
I let you in,
Now I'll let you out,
KILL! KILL! KILL!
Whatever is left,
To take your control,
You took on my soul,
& try to show,
Its meaningless,
My new found weakness,
Passed over,
Dead lover,
Let you go,
Let you out,
Let you know,
Its all about,
You up & out,
Not down inside,
Not my heart,
Not my pride,
Time to part,
Let you fly,
Let you out,
Where you belong,
Scream & shout,
All day long,
I'm leaving your laughing taunts,
KILL ME! KILL ME! KILL ME!
& ALL MY EVIL THOUGHTS!
KILL ME!

About this poem:
I kill myself to get her to leave me. Her smile haunts me. Her laugh taunts me. Her eyes see me crying & she giggles while she's staring.Tweety Birds.
How long will you allow your grape vine to grow?
Lately I've been learning things I don't care to know,
That's the point of kickin' back, chillin', hangin' low,
To avoid sh!t talkin' drama it's gotten too f#ck!ng old!
But there's no where I can go to just escape,
With everybody in everyone's business its a little too late!
Like a pregnant teen pleads her friends for a little silence 'til the time is right,
Her friends turn to the world to run & spread the news throughout the night!
Like a man who wants to be a man & confess to his girl that he was wrong,
A b!tch goes & acts a B!TCH in relationships where that B!TCH doesn't belong!
Some you can talk to & your words will stay with that one,
not talkin' secrets but understanding 'cause most will leak those words to 21!
Different heads!
Plenty dumb!
& arrogant heads!
Like empty bums!
So simplex!
These trendy f#cks!
These wagon heads!
Sit in dumps,
repeating what reluctantly said!
So...
Gossip boys & gossip girls,
Gossip through your teeth!
Through fake smiles & promises,
'cause they gossip in their sleep!
With a mouth which never seizes,
it just lie's & never pleases!
She could gossip as she sneezes,
he could gossip broken in pieces!
To this day I'm still amazed in disbelief!
These people will die to gossip,
like fiends it's all they need!
Gossip 'cause you have no life,
no life or mind of your own!
Talk your sh!t!
Big surprise!
Such a child denies to grow!!!
Wonder why your all alone,
I'll foretell your future,
as if you don't already know!
'Cause the next little tweety bird,
who feels the need to speak the words,
of someone else's business or someone talkin' sh!t,
I'm gonna stalk it, stop it,
then I'm gonna kill that sh!t!
Like fly tweety fly!
Now die tweety DIE!
To all those people who gossip,
like leaking water faucets,
No need to come out now,
just keep your a*s' in the closet!
It's drama free!
Yay it's quiet.
I like it!
Stay away from me,
or your a*s might! get! kicked!!!
Tweety Birds.

About this poem:
This is to all who just can't keep their mouths shut or their own noses in their own business. To all of those no good low life snitch's! To all of those who speak before they think! To anyone who talks smacks behind backs. We all know some Tweety Birds!!! Chirpin' & chirpin' & chirpin'! Trippin' & trippin' & trippin'!Hallucinations.
There's nothing I can do while I sit & boil,
building up this energy in my inner coil,
in which I much release but your just no where to be found!
That's where all these words come from anyway,
but I'm frustrated today 'cause you still play your f#ck!ng games!
My insecurity loves to bite at me,
but it's you who originally laid it down upon me!
Now I lay to rest in the palm of a tight grip,
my life was in your hands & you purposely let it slip!
Ripped into my heart & let the blood drip! Drip! Drip!
D. R. I. P.
Now I'll be gone,
to leave you to the rest,
to cast your shadow of cru-el-ty on them & say that they are blessed!
Creating more like YOU!
It's no wonder,
why the world has come to what it's come to!
You help me see why honor has ceased,
Respect, fallen!
Class & loyalty on it's knee's crawling on the ground,
why trust has been broken down,
why I stopped hoping & found no faith for it's alive & on fire!
Desire is shattered when you scatter from me!
Down the drain goes my mind,
in this lonely life of mine,
'cause I'm still a f#ck!n' man at home alone crying.
One minute I'm fine,
the next she's in my sight (hallucinations),
coming around the car,
ghost in crisp dark night (hallucinations),
yet your not with me!
It's my day dreams, turning to hallucinations!
This night is one,
I'll never have back,
yet another we've been away.
A night we'll never get back,
such sick & twisted games,
a permanent R.O.?
Over my head in sorrow,
you can't be f#ck!ng serious!
I pray to see tomorrow!
Things would be different,
if you ever really did,
feel a true emotion,
mean a word you said!
Prove what you had claimed,
I guess your dreams had changed,
I was no longer in them,
forgotten & thrown away!...
...your fabricated in my mind,
memories which are mine,
my deception tightly winds all for my own purposes,
my manipulating pain underneath slowly surfaces!
Hallucinations.

About this poem:
I saw my daughters mother numerous times. Getting out of the car. The kitchen. In the bathroom. I could hear her voice. She has been miles & miles away from me for a long while now. It was kinda crazy & very tormenting. I loved that girl very much!*HomeGrownAnger*
D.N.E. Sounds free to me...
Death never ending, is breath never spending...
Wasted words. A memory lasts a life time...
Act like you heard...
Trying to pour out, emotions of doubt, my frozen heart,
in tangled webs, free falling, cold & bloody,
my soul has left behind a lifeless mess of a broken body!
I want to stay in the fight but I may just lay still,
the predator is devouring it's prey, it's meal, I feel, the steel teeth,
sink down to the bone,
while American's are striped of their rights & taken from their homes,
as the weak is beaten to think the powerful is high & mighty,
held down by the clenching grip of society, hold me before I slip,
I'm far from sobriety, I'm not worried about a mess,
it'll be cleaned by the rest...
The wind, the rain, the dirt, the pain...
Laying down to D.N.E. I feel so blessed...
Frustration is flowing, my brain is going to it's dark castle.
Then frustration overflows & my HomeGrownAnger grows,
I have non of my bro's, only foes & anything goes,
I'll take you off your ten toes & be sure everyone knows,
my pain as lame by name for nothing has changed it's all the same!
Your crawling under my skin,
I'm lashing out, reaching out, digging deep with in,
with one last gasp it's hard to grasp pushing forward forgetting the past, searching deep with in.
I can feel the energy of the past, living with the present,
I try to stay on the path, my eyes, my feet, my mind doesn't,
nothing lines up, makes sense, or looks the same,
I'm lost in the world on unfamiliar terrain!
My time is spoiled, I will wash away my flaws,
My pain has done me in & now I have no cause!
Drugs...shoulder shrugs...infest frustrated mind...with HomeGrownAnger!
Blended to a pattern...routine frustration...at a high elevation of my HomeGrownAnger!
Drugs frustrating...& already hating...infected regurgitating...isolating in a routine pattern of HomeGrownAnger!
Searching for a stranger...s*xual danger...boiling over...ready to snap!
It's too late, I can't go back!
Unforeseen lies & disloyalty's, leave no sympathy!
Your ten fingered collar & chains keep this dog subdued!
Your lack of gratitude, has us unglued, living life separately!
Outrageously, unholy, carelessness of others misery!
Your ten fingered collar & chains keep this dog subdued!
Your f#ck!ng attitude, makes me come unglued, with a rage of fury!
Furiously, controlling, rolling on me killing me so you can finally bury me in my cage of fury!
I used to hold you high...
I held you like my trophy...
You held me back...by my neck...trying to choke me!!!

About this poem:
Bwlah bwlah bwlah! Its how i felt & it speaks its self!Troubled
I've been constantly becoming what I fear the most,
That sh!t is grose!
Addiction runs further than the eye can see,
I need you to see...this place...inside...
MY HEAD!
Time after time,
Questioning love clouds my mind,
As slumbering into frantic frustration!
I've been called a failure too many times,
As I'm stepping towards total annihilation!
I fear I'm becoming what others want me to become,
Open your eyes & you'll see where all my hatred comes from!
Look inside my head!
Look inside my ugly skull!
Look at my stupid f#ck!ng brain that always got me F's in school!
A memory in a whisper, standing in fields of fire!
Unbound ability to play with unspoken fears & desires!
A labeled land where wearing grin provokes sin to win unstable man with in a system is just that...a system.
Question after question,
No more answers for suggestion,
As I'm melting to my perfect level of anger!
Constantly lying & causing your drama,
All the while you were pointing your finger!
This situation at hand is overwhelming me,
My minds drifted far from it's realm,
I can hardly see, what's in front of me?
My mind tries to disregard the memory!
Losing, junkie, addict! Choosing misery & heavy static!
I know I'll be O.K. so long as double D is in the attic!
Look inside my head!
Look inside my ugly dome!
Look at my stupid f#ck!ng brain that always took me so far from home!
Listen to the whisper, swept off to fields of fire!
Playing with unspoken fear & desire!
Liars win sin & wear their label at the table of the law with a grin laughing with in a system is just that...a system!
Fight after fight,
Nurture my soul tonight,
As I rest in your clouds of ecstasy!
Only you can put me back together 'cause,
You are the one who has made this mess of me!!!
Something won't allow me to float above,
I can't shove these feelings aside to hide them!
Sooner or later my wondering mind will find them!
Only time will tell,
So I'm forced to wait until then,
To show my love to you & put it all out in the open!!!
Look inside my head!
Look inside my filthy brain!
Look at this stupid f#ck!ng brain that always brought me so much pain!!!!!
I hear the faint memory like a whisper of my mind dappers inside calling out tears of fire!
I have the ability to play with unspoken fears & desires!
Releasing life & death, can't get any higher!
Reborn I smile I win.
Dying I cast a grin.
Deaths dirty sin.
Not even death can stop whats with in!
This...is...within a system...which...is...just that.
...a system...
Troubled.

About this poem:
Its a system. This was the second song i ever wrote and i took my time on it! It was well worth it! Enjoy! BTW! feed back on all material is greatly appreciated!!! Also I would be happy to answer any questions any one may have regarding any of my material. Every piece has a story!
Fading away
I'm fading away
The light in my eyes is gone
I'm tattered
Torn beyond repair
I just want to disappear
I will when it's all over
When the minute hand ticks last
And the last one falls
I will tumble down the hill
Into the deep sea
The dark sea
No one will know
No one will care
As I crash against the cliff
Bruising everything
And fading away
I will sink towards the bottom
My breathing going away
My lungs collapsing
My world crashing
As I plunge into darkness
The bitter cold watery darkness
I'm scared
The darkness is not a nice place
I can see the inky talons reaching for me
I'm terrified of it
But I will not care
Because I'm fading away
My vision is going black
And my lungs burn
My heart is failing
And I'm sinking towards the bottom
Getting closer
The darkness is in reach
And I grab ahold of it
Not being scared anymore
Im ready to escape this place
The cold reality is too much
I'm fading into darkness
Nothing left of me
Nothing to tear at
Nothing to laugh at
Nothing but a broken heart
And a lost soul
Time to go
Time to face the music
The time has come
I'm fading away
Like a song
That is softly ending
I must go
The end is near
And the deed is done
The music is over
And I'm fading away
The light in my eyes is gone
I'm tattered
Torn beyond repair
I just want to disappear
I will when it's all over
When the minute hand ticks last
And the last one falls
I will tumble down the hill
Into the deep sea
The dark sea
No one will know
No one will care
As I crash against the cliff
Bruising everything
And fading away
I will sink towards the bottom
My breathing going away
My lungs collapsing
My world crashing
As I plunge into darkness
The bitter cold watery darkness
I'm scared
The darkness is not a nice place
I can see the inky talons reaching for me
I'm terrified of it
But I will not care
Because I'm fading away
My vision is going black
And my lungs burn
My heart is failing
And I'm sinking towards the bottom
Getting closer
The darkness is in reach
And I grab ahold of it
Not being scared anymore
Im ready to escape this place
The cold reality is too much
I'm fading into darkness
Nothing left of me
Nothing to tear at
Nothing to laugh at
Nothing but a broken heart
And a lost soul
Time to go
Time to face the music
The time has come
I'm fading away
Like a song
That is softly ending
I must go
The end is near
And the deed is done
The music is over
And I'm fading away

About this poem:
Lights going out. Forget me..
The Haunted House
We all think that old houses are haunted with spooky ghosts
That will jump out and scare us, but are there really ghosts
Or just our vivid fantasies of apparitions and spectres.
In books we read about ghosts resembling the headless
Horseman in "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" that chased
Ichabod Crane onto a bridge, where soon after that he
Disappeared. Well, it sounds absurd that that would
Ever happen, so why do people think that all old houses
Come complete with a ghost? Maybe the noises people hear
Are the house just settling for the night, there may not be any
Supernatural occurrances at all. The ghosts seem to come with
Our imagination and the dark environment and surroundings.
There is the illusion that a tragic event may have happened
In the house, bringing on a ghostly visage, when an eathbound
Spirit may walk the house searching for it's redemption.
Spirits might have been sighted by ghost hunting groups,
Who bring with them electronic devices to search for sounds and
Visions, hoping for sightings. Some have actually seen images
Of ghostly movements, but nothing is really conclusive.
The house remains as it is - just an old house that has
Seen many families in its time, but it can never really be haunted.
That will jump out and scare us, but are there really ghosts
Or just our vivid fantasies of apparitions and spectres.

About this poem:
This lastest poem I have written takes us to the world of spirits in an earie tale called "The Haunted House".Editor: Marikia
Written:4 February 2013
To believe or not to believe,that's the question
Is this poetry I just read,
No just a dubious fallacy,
Insidious is only a claim,
To a marvelous unknown outside!
Knowing does not equate understanding,
What do I know about knowledge?
Even scientists do stupid things,
How much more for a common man?
Would you call your best friend,
A liar for seeing or hearing strange things,
If they say they saw a dead man walking,
They must be crazy in their head!
Would you mock and make fun,
Of the people you really care,
when they say to you what they saw,
Aliens,monsters or even a live dinosaur!
Then there are the third world superstitions,
Urban legends and arcane curses,
Magic users fighting with mystical creatures,
Are these just mere illusions or real?
What if the ones who've seen it,
Are the very ones you look up to,
Are they crazy or its just a nightmare,
Now what if it was not them but you!
