And I don’t want to regress
Spittin stomach acid onto cement
Seein where my life went
Depressing bars and hours of being devoured
Snakes to call in the cowards
Soured and skinned, all showers
He shuffles out another smoke
Knowing no break can ever make his heart finally implode
Dead from the beginning
That’s what they’ve always said
A temper and a beating
Seeing red
A dynasty to shed
Inheriting a bloodline of dead drunks
Alcoholic uncles
Bottles smashed in the trunk
A cover-up
A downright lie
A malicious, mal-adjusted dive into the bottoms of her son’s eyes
We bring gifts
Discipline, depression
Mental heath of stallions who never learned their lessons
But of course he’s the problem
Take responsibility and call me when the beast comes out and crawls the walls
It’s war now like it’s never been
She targets my disease
And I ain’t ready for these feelings
The cut so deep he bleeds and screams—it’s easy
Just bury him now so the crows can pick the worms beneath me

Unbound
Calloused, overcoming
Boat boarded with dreary lore
Fictional, ear drum buzzing
Stunning wreck
Deep woods hunting
Against the frozen mess
It’s funny
How the games we play in settled roles
Comes to characterize the people we become
And what we find hungry
I wish that we could delete desire
Persons inter-bundling
But the fire cancels out the numbing
Underling, devil’s advocate softening, stumbling
Off to rip faces off
Offering something
Astonishing sentient please
Please see that suffering
Is and ain’t a disease
I see it now, fate staring down
Clowned car renowned
Nouns losing taste
Spit liquid brown
Shit-talker ace
I walk at demon’s pace
Released and unbound

The End

It’s just a dream
But pain comes for everything
Trying to find beauty in the moments
But at this point nothing is solid but loneliness
Slip into sleep mid-day
Screaming at mind-control, a chorus of disarray
And the tunnel doesn’t just end
It’s a disease
That’s taken your best friends
So he takes another drink
To turn his head off
Another film, another song
Should take the edge off
Lost swimming in the sea
Hard to find what’s good
Hard to find tangibility
No sleep—just brings nightmares
Scared on his couch
Sweating in his own terror
Fuck it—what happened to “I’ll show em”
I’ve already sown the seeds to need to not know em
It’s sickening
Each day reckoning the bleed
A privileged white kid
Who maybe ain’t what he seems
I wish that I could end the furthering
Sit down and die
Slow progress murdering
But I’m stuck
Alive with too many good friends
Just not wanting them to see my end

The Tempest

The tempest
Final regrets
Before he cuts the lifeline
Endless summers
Drowning in borrowed time
He should be dead
Cremated
Laid to rest next to his best friend
There’s a curse to perseverance
Nursing diseases
Putting up appearances
Like the mornings aren’t just black holes
And the afternoons are tearless
It’s guaranteed to break the dream—designed
To invoke a fearlessness that’s simply false
He calls the shot from broken angles
And ignores the calls
With family dead
Estranged from friends
The outcast is finally bona fide
Maybe he’ll see them in the next life
A devil’s eye, ego increasing
Bringing alcohol, bulimic
To the better side
Opting out of hope and closing down in forever time

You ever wake up and just wanna die?
Like these dreams and sleep don’t put rest to eyes?
Like the daylight’s a poison, a censured disguise?
Like one minute of consciousness can’t reward the high?
I pull it
Pipe dreams out
Dead to rights inside
Ain’t no saving a condemned man who fights with pride
The selfishness she exudes got me terrified
The anger she denies eludes the welcomed lullaby
It’s bye for now, the bottom
Hits rock hard when beauty autumn
Is grey ungrateful rises, Gamora sodden kindness
Caught in between the finest, set of knives and lies and finest China
Breaking bad, servicing her highness

All Cancer

Kill it, all cancer
Answers overtaking this bastard
Flying banners
Of angry Banner
Hulk the suicide
Yellow lantern
The breeze helps
Cicadas coveting the twilight
Emerging lifelike but dead inside
Finding ecological genocide
Every 17 years
He sees the irony, the final creep
An old man holding on with one hand
Shucking medical exams in dire need, the iron beast
Low lights, relaxed streets
Putting off eating
Putting off sleep
His mouth is dry and tastes like blackened leaves
His stomach lurches and the pain’s a seed
Just putting off the fear with ease
By seeing death in all that breathes
