my feeling is gloom
anxiety tags along
depression innate
doom is imminent today
i can feel it in my bones
Dire
Sameness
We all feel. We just don’t experience the same feelings.
Susi Bocks
Volumes
Feeling full
of stuff to do
things to read
thoughts to write
and falling behind
Pressured and agitated
need to step back
and organize
my normal life cycle
trying to prioritize
I hope my friends
will understand
it’s not you but me
Took on a big chunk
and catching up
Busy and isolated
stuck more in my head
than is necessary
for my health
and recognizing it
Seems I’m not the only one
Til We Meet Again
Cold
you threw the first rock
the force of it landed
the pain came in slivers
you broke open
love’s shelter
it’s no longer safe here
our warmth escaped
cold steeliness seeped in
my blood curdled icy
To The Manner Born
she, being pristine
deserves all the finer things
simply elegant

Little Twat
puffed up, self-righteous
waste of my time, damn wench
shut up and be quiet
Pasties On My Laptop
supporting gay rights
rainbow colors, showing pride
being an ally
*big fan of my tattoo provider too! 🙂
Trapped
I
can see
the better
life shining clear,
can almost taste it.
But it’s just out of reach.
Down again, gave in again
to the temptations of my sins.
Every so often I regret it.
Shame, guilt, anger, sickness, hunger for death.
Self-medication, self-flagellation;
It’s all I seem to know anymore.
The bruises of the bottle stain
my life a shade of dingy
and gray in this bright world.
Can I escape it?
I would like to
just get out
of this
hell.
