You would not believe your eyes
If you seen all the dark thoughts,
I keep at tide inside my head
If only that was true,
I can no longer control
these racing thought,
I'm a danger to myself
I've succumb to pain,
I've felt numb for too long
I inflict pain to just feel something, 
Thoughts constantly racing
Never a chance to think straight,
I've found a healthy affliction 
In the pain I inflict upon myself,
I can feel it now
Like cardiac arrest,
The slip of the chair
The tension around my neck,
Ill try my best,
The pull of the blade
Against my wrist,
I've been trying my best
How much do I invest,
Before its all over
No longer numb,
My Demons
They catch me when I slip,
Motor control loss
Mindless acts,
Just a permanent solution 
To a temporary feeling,
Exactly how long is temporary
All i want is for this living nightmare to be over,
These demons consuming me alive
Fighting is no longer a solution,
Don't stop me now
I know now noone would shed a tear,
Noone would shutter a sound
To stop me,
Forget yesterday
I dont wanna see tomorrow,
Remember when you told me
That I was better off dead,
I knew it from the start
I was never any good to anyone,
You can believe it
When im not here tomorrow,
Today I find something great
Today I find a Healthy Affliction.

Comments on a blog,
On and on, continuous,
Could this be but bots?
How can hate be a ball?
All along, perspicuous,
Archaic in its tongue.
Accompany a structured song,
Another composition common,
A company not lacking lustre,
Just backing something wrong.

I adjust warm muffins,
Until the tops come off.
Butter, cinnamon,
I adjust my jaw,
Until flavortown,
I judge my ignorance,
Could this be god?

I wrote the list upon my hand, because I was wont to forget. Memory was always a weakness, since birth I assume. I had since then learnt to cope. Would it rain? I wasn't sure, but I would be ready if it did. 

"Ready to go?" I heard a voice. I nodded, we were probably already late.

It was dark outside, raining. The blacktop shimmered with the small bit of dwindling light that escaped through the clouds. The day was early but the day already felt long, characteristic of the gloomy weather. I opened the door, however, to sunlight beaming in my front door. 

"Great! Looks like it cleared up outside!" but all I could hear was the ocean. The noise of waves tossing themselves on the shore was overwhelming, their loudness filling the air.

"Are you alright?" I snapped back into reality. I assured myself I was fine, just lost in thought as usual. I tried to make myself more comfortable by focusing on the inviting weather, although I was visibly nervous. I felt like something bad was going to happen. 

My foot stepped to the concrete, bending the leather of my shoes and causing them to crease. We walk beside one another in a peaceful silence toward the bus stop, eyes trained on the puddles of the sidewalk. My foot lifted for another step and as it comes back down to reach the water, I felt a wind rush past. I looked up, and I found myself all alone.

Once again, I felt the rain upon my face.

Diablo II,
Why make me wait for games?
My fate lament, give it away,
Give it away, give it away now.
Fleas of the carpet,
People of the parking lot,
Can you not?
Trying to make something,
They stand about, puffy,
Chests golden, coffers copper,
Rusted in their velour valor,
Failing to soil of fewer flowers.

Courage at last, my heart be closed,
Would a tap of emotion be more apropos?
Cold alack in a world of clothes,
Told: Dress myself more appropriate,
My moment is now and I'm blowing it.
Could it be at last, my heartbeat thuds,
One claps along, misunderstands the words,
I'm told I owe an explanation, for those,
For they were written bitter and old.
So? that's how they turned out, spoiled,
Characters, write their life in whole,
Much like something serpentine coiled.

Unfocused (not soulless or goalless). I smoke spliffs to get my mind off this list of frustrations. Intimidated by outrageous race racing, flaming faggots nigger-bait while still claiming that they win (but the win's painful). The wind is still unstable.

My win is a long table with nothing on it surrounded by fables. "Nothing comes from nothing, Son," 'cept Miracles and Bagels, two billion silent men in four billion different conversations, but know thyself and when you're asked just say that you know nothing. 

Winter's gone and spring is here
The hummingbirds are humming 
I think I'll make a song today, Son 
I'm feeling something

I'm feeling something.

There's just 22.5 degrees
Not from the bottom to the top, but
In between
Doing nothing and incomplete
Being at the bottom
Pushing Gord in the swing.

I sat under the tree glancing nearby,
hoping to find someone who could see me cry.
Dreaming about a happier place,
I stood up and walked speeding up my pace.
I saw a girl sitting on the green bench looking as if trying to hide,
Just like me maybe no one was there by her side;
and with loneliness surrounding and head down 
she suddenly looked up gazing around.
Seeing her face, I turned back in trauma
and saw something which I could never forget
"Why do you look back? This agony and pain ruined my life
Its about that rain of acid which turned my cheerful life into a life so vapid".
With tears all gone, I held her head high
"there is no need for you to cry."
You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen
and I am not lying because I totally mean.
All punishments for the guilty are too small,
it is now time for him to fall.
I then realized that in this world of misery and sadness, there is a lot to see
Even the acid victims have the right to live just as a common girl like me.

It's you
I want
I just mean
Do it
Want me
I'll scream
Drown them
More feelings
Of wanting
Longing
For something
Aloof
Trot of the hoof
Fall from the floor
Land on the proof
Smile at the whore
Missing her tooth
Trying to score
Good times with the roof
Ease to cool her
Down and pass out
Songs of abusers
Speaking of peace
Echo through darkness
Then she falls asleep
For something
Standoffish
I just mean
It you whose the problem
Not me
I just solve 'em
I can't be wrong
'Cuz I'm peaceful
And honest
And a really chill guy
If you don't mind me talking
At lengths just to show
I'm not racist
I'm mocking
Their race
'Cuz it's funny
Not Angry
Just Loving
That Pain
From Above
Automatic
Dark static
Creatures of habit
Throwing outrage around
Myself I won't have it
Outraged at myself
Myself never planning
To be holed in a cell
Living under you bandits
You won't have it yourselves
Yourselves being outraged
At all of yourselves
For all of your work
Education and health
Yell at your brothers
Strangers
Mothers
Escaping from hell
By throwing dirt
At the world
Insurmountable selves
By the billions
All with a version of self
I'm doing it now
Laying a seed
To expand
And develop
I mean
I just want to scream
These guys I girl dog about
I'm mad
'Cuz I'm me

In his future he sees tired coughing,
But the seer mundane usually finds nothing,
Only peering back upon seared meat,
Apparently to be, or feel something.

Caravans of the sky desire furniture,
Of which the past robbed the future,
Paradigms of the mind flipped suture,
Lying prone as a feat of nature.

After everything I see
Before me in the seats
Cynics in the streets
Dissecting the diseased
Everything I see
Finding something to believe
Giving credence to contrarians
Heretic as it seems
I laugh
Just trying to fit in
Kidding like a kid
Laughing
Making them believe
Nothing as it seems
Only people watching
People watching leaves
Quietly in peace
Raging afterwards
Sighing in relief
Totally alone
Utterly at peace
Vexed with my existence
Waiting patiently
Xeroxing mentally
Yakking at the internet
Zoning out on poetry

Decay and the rifle alone. Censored by Gods as 
cold winter snow passes men stuck in glop as 
it blows. Who knows? What the fuck does a soul 
call a home? Accepting ideals without gloves 
being shown. Refuting belief but still knowing 
that something transcends all of time, space, 
math, and the know-how. Gloating but feeling 
in pain for lost souls turned wayward, 
corrupt, or depraved by the fallout.

Take it in, as it turns out, by talking in 
strides with the crowds. Softly speak glop 
when it counts. Slowly speak up, and never 
speak out.

Both sides support reform,
God I feel dumb,
Then I go back to watching porn,
That still too is dumb,
Ah, ugh, I'm wracking my poor brain,
Surely nothing can be done,
If something clearly is insane.

Begone to the pits of apathy,
Where men are fighting to succeed,
Be free from binds which binding me,
Lead me blind to blind society.
Truth be told it would be great,
To record sounds and meditate,
Without hoping to get paid,
Ad space isn't free,
We pity ourselves if ads are sent to peace.

We sent our brothers off to war.
Speaking of the fun;
Fighting for a rival hoard.
Dying in the sun;
Pierced by a brother's sword.
Ah, ugh, I'm wracking my poor brain,
Thieves thieved some time for fun,
Our heroes appearing more and more depraved.

To share the same disease,
Tortured through our dreams,
To decay among the trees,
Torment; a short and brutish piece,
Yet all of it is great,
Bleeding essence every day,
Alderson loop of disjunctive melodies,
Existence sings in remedies,
Never will the tempest ease,
Yet underneath there lay a silent tone,
Arranging scattered harmonies.

The Ninety Nine Percent?
Represent yourself and fuck majority,
Fuck sitting in a tent,
Fuck sitting in an era,
Where lives are fucking spent,
In jails within America,
The Other One Percent.
They rot while you prepare,
Let it die,
And try again.
Go get high,
And find a pet,
In the whole world's seven bil',
The Land of Free's three fifty mil',
The Liberated Five percent,
Something there disturbs me still,
In jails there's ten times seven mil'.
Metal barring concrete tents,
The Captive;
Occupying One Percent.

Sit back and listen as appassionata plays,
Something fires from a musical regatta,
Emotion lingers on for days.

Simple sounds service not his fingers,
All basic math retold and forgot,
Something more than strings and levers.
Some more than Beet and Bach.
