Childhood

“A picture is worth a thousand words and infinite emotions.“


I originally wrote this as a comment, but wanted to make it more visible.
I keep reflecting on the night.
My manhood & maturity, kept being called into question. I took the grabs & pushes with my arms outstretched. I responded to the insults and attacks with diffusing words, repeating, “Don’t worry, we’re leaving. We’re leaving.” [...]


“I told her what she wanted to hear, even though it killed me.“


I’ll walk til I crawl
Crawl til I slither
Bleed my bowels
from the skin they wither
I’ll do all these things
of the storm you weather
A cloud among night
Your iridescent feather
If a sun, the morn does mother
I’ll gather myself & reconsider


The End.

I’ve got marks on my body, that I’m not sure where they came from. I’ve got scars on the heart that I’m wearing for the “love” you give my loved ones. I’ve got a thousand words for your two ears, the math & your ignorance makes it impossible to speak. I’ve got people in my [...]

My official response to all of this is that it’s fuckin bullshit. You know, for the record and all.

A friend called me around 1:30am the other night, crying & shaking. She asked what a panic attack felt like. We continued to talk for a good 30 minutes, but after we hung up I began to think about how misunderstood the disorder is. So, I wanted to write about the past seven years of [...]

Too Late

04Feb08

“Oh Yes” by Charles Bukowski
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it’s too late
and there’s nothing worse
than
too late.


“I never felt free until you possessed me.“
