I was in my room shattered. I thought he loved me. I saw a vision of a life with a man who turned out to be a child. Not a boy but a child who ran away because he was terrified. He was scared of the word love. It became too real. He tarnished my soul. He took something away that I can’t put my finger on. I turned off the light and crawled underneath the covers. I couldn’t close my restless eyes. My world had crumbled. How can a man touch my skin the way he did and walk away? How can a man kiss these lips and walk away? It felt like I was on a roller coaster and I was no longer going up hill. It was all down hill and could feel the crashing of the silent wind echo. Although he may have thought he had broken me but as I said I’m shattered. It translates that I can pick up the pieces and put them back. No man will ever break me that I can’t get up.
Anger
Queef (Braeden’s Writing Challenge)
She is a cloud of rage
She is a walking catastrophe
She is a laughing queef
She is a raging monster
She is a broken beast
She is a heartless pig
She is a disgusting human
She is a pile of excrement
She is a bleeding organ
She is a ignorant pissant
*Lou wanted me to use this word as a title of a poem. I will admit this was a challenge. I had to think a few days on how to use it.
Scarecrow Yell

A pile of ancient bricks
stack up against the closet door
A lemon yellow sun hasn’t
heard the shrieks behind
the desolate window
Vanishing clowns snicker
in the obscure corner
Fears subside and twinkle
In the witching hour
the scarecrow yells from
the depths of childhood memories
A ministry of skeptics
preach under the queen size bed
Reciting a sacred testament
of abuse and lacerations
Sobbing whispers live behind
the wretched closet door
Check out my books!
Never ending Spiral

Gasping for grasping
At the end of the line
Spinning circles
At the end of the rope
Hearing not listening
At the end of the illusion
Unadaptable and difficult
At the end of the mirage
Impenetrable and brick
At the end of the delusion
Sucked in a vicious cycle
At the end of the fabrications
Never ending spiral
Sulking in a Blur

I’m caught between syndromes and prescriptions. I’m slipping in the separation of loneliness and sadness. I have fallen in the hands of broken angels and laughing demons. I can feel the down pouring melancholy fill up the emptiness. I sulk in the fields of depression beside wishes and painted dreams. I’m sitting in the middle of insomnia and awakened tear drops. I watched the clown die on the inside. I stood on the outside of the circus and saw the crowd. I will always be on the outside looking in. I’m surrounded by beliefs and stuck in oppression. I’ve dug a grave in my creativity. I wear sensitivity on my sleeve. I can’t remove if I tried. I want a blanket of love that’s never been made. I seek a yearn that doesn’t exist. You will feel the craving when I’m gone. You will be on the inside finally looking in. The puzzle will be complete. I don’t belong on this earth. I want to lay beside Dylan Thomas and Allen Ginsberg. Read between the lines.
Turn off

Dysfunctional dwellers
Constantly in denial
Stagnant in turmoil
Refusing to look outward
A cycle of being inward
Analytically in overdrive
Negative vocabulary
Mangled in a mess
Aching for affection
Seeking flashing attention
Lost Goodbye

No verses can disguise
the barbwire truth
Furious on the inside
Depression settles like dust
A intact plan merges
Ignoring my needs
Methodical and analytical
Reread the chorus
Every day was an opportunity
you threw away to show me
Nothing will prepare you
for what I’m about to do….
Loneliness on a Death Bed

Exchanging blows
Trouncing the integrity
Parading with clout
Testifying with a punch
Ruthless and cold
Clobbering with animosity
Losing perspective
Gaining self worth
Sitting on a Island
without a blanket of protection
Circling apathy
with loneliness on a death bed
Persecuting myself
Questioning my beliefs
Constantly defending my being
Slowly giving up to society’s views
Oceans Water
I fear the oceans water
I dread the depth
I look away from the oceans water
I can’t see the bottom
I hide from the oceans water
I detest the slippery feel
I stand miles away from the oceans water
I hate what it represents
I despise the oceans water
I refuse to embrace it
I run from the oceans water
I know the harm and danger
Tarantula Skull

Beneath your gruesome
and lecherous center
slowly moves cockroaches
between your intestines
Cobwebs growing at a
miraculous rate between
your tarantula skull
The vein of the copperhead
wraps around your
slippery greedy heart
Nerves of glue are stuck
to your vindictive skin
Knowing you will burn
in Hell forevermore
Forgotten Riddle

Disregard
the aroma of the carousel
Disregard
the unforgettable thirst
Disregard
the saturating hunger
Disregard
the mist in your tone
Disregard
the fears that dwell inside
Disregard
the yearnings you bury
Disregard
the cravings you once had
Disregard
the sarcasm in this riddle
Disregard
the awakening of the tension
I am accepting
that you continue to disregard me
Barbwire Sessions

Untamed and unforgettable
Ripple effect spreads like a disease
Lip licking and chomping
Like a wounded dog without a collar
Even your shadows cry
All you do is scratch
Tick tock…
Chasing traumatized winds
Clotheslined by barbwire
A feared and reckless beast
Gnawing at my insides
Even your skin is distasteful
All you do is claw
Tick tock…
Crippling my essence
Ruthless and disturbing you crawl
A relentless bitch
Foaming at the mouth
Even your tears want to run from you
All you do is manipulate
Tick tock…
You won’t know what hit you
Trampled Feelings Pass (Braeden’s Writing Challenge #2)

Goodbye desolate shivers
Goodbye forgotten aches
Goodbye swallowed tears
Goodbye opaque walls
Goodbye erratic fears
Goodbye discarded pages
Goodbye to a dark clown’s frown
Goodbye to a lightless mirage
Goodbye to my lost and last words
Goodbye to the faceless sun
Goodbye meaningless friendships
Goodbye somber passions
Goodbye sensitive heart
Goodbye drowning memories
Goodbye deep blue sky
Goodbye unread poetry
Goodbye Trampled Feelings Pass
Rigamortis Breath

Tense and rigid
An arctic dialogue
Indifferent and standoffish
Words thrown like darts
Sticking like super glue
Toxic and demoralizing
Like talking to a brick wall
Hateful and unemotional
Unraveling the anger
Removing myself
Wasting energy on you
Walking away
from your rigamortis breath
Apocalyptic Words
Furious waves are dying. The gentleman in me is fading like a light. You carve out the tension and slowly I am denied. The more you take the less of me you receive.
You are not who you advertised. I remain calm as I construct a devious plan. I hold the wind in my hand. I have a defense. I made sure the world knows. Apocalyptic and cryptic I will speak. Repeating my words is not a option.
You use the word love but don’t show it. You use words you don’t express. The storm in this jungle has elevated to a hurricane. Patience is running thin. You love the image. You love the facade. You don’t love me. Say it. Admit it.
Dark Wild
Beneath the clutter
and the discolored anxiety
the war between us continues
Engulfed by the
fractured promises
Gobbled up by the
untamed distance
Dwelling in the dusk
crawling through the
dark wild
Regurgitated phrases
of shades of love
Acknowledging the
hardened suffering
Stomaching the
patronizing goodbyes
Inhaling your desolate
and sinister perfume
Sucking and gulping
your mocking remarks
Withstanding your
arrogance and malicious core
Underneath the deceased
your stigma withers
Alligator Juice

Ribs shook
Teeth chattered
A swig of Alligator Juice
Testing intestinal fortitude
Crying Esophagus
Liquid to soothe the deserted soul
Reviving the hostile lungs
Defining the edges and nerves
Overtaken by the emptiness
As he fills his stomach
with acidic Alligator Juice
Inside Yourself
Middle School Rhymes
I’m so fucking mad
About the day I had
She wasn’t glad
That I kissed Chad
I’m so freaking upset
About what I didn’t get
She was part of the bet
By Monday she will forget
I’m so undesirably distraught
About the day I lost
She was happy I got caught
My feelings can’t be bought
I’m so damn pissed
About the day I missed
She was in the A list
By the weekend I cut my wrist
Ize Rants From the Pissed Off
Don’t patronize
Don’t need your wild skies
Don’t want your rabid lies
Don’t wear that disguise
Just say goodbye
Don’t empathize
Don’t need your vibes
Don’t want your shoe size
Don’t sleep open wide
Just say goodbye
Don’t advise
Don’t need your old surprise
Don’t want your supplies
Don’t discard the gold prize
Just say goodbye
Don’t downsize
Don’t want your grey butterflies
Don’t need your mind baptized
Don’t reject the wise
Just say goodbye
