I wonder if kindness scares you?
Do you feel undeserving of its touch?
Or do you feel it a burden to live up to?
I wonder if kindness scares you?
Do you feel undeserving of its touch?
Or do you feel it a burden to live up to?
i cannot bear this burden
and so i give it up to you
so that i may have some peace
before you name me
as its bearer
i may regret it
i may mislead myself with hope
yet for now i cannot bear the weight
not before i know if it is mine to bear….
A name creates
what has
been
let go.
stealing peace.
demanding an identity
that has yet to grow…
trace tenderly
the curvatures
writ upon a
birth-fleshed being.
a shallow feeling ferments
sight a contemptuous slit
smileless lines align to enclose
a sharply curling serpent worm.

You know what would be good right now?
An end.
Yeah, an end.
so i have to never
contemplate all the misery spent
on thinking how much longer?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
how much longer?
until i finish appeasing
the baleful twisted victors…
until finally someone admits
the foundation’s breaking…

I must be buried alive
fully rotting already
feed upon the very hate that
seeps from my inescapable trap.
needling Silence stifles struggling Reason
Fury sees its chance to unfurl
Wrath sees its path cleared
Rage becomes reborn.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
is there ever
a day that goes by
that tears do not fall from the burdened eye?
A stony front
stubbornly tries
to seal its bleeding cracks.
no words are spoken without full thought, or so pretense vainly suggests.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
silenced reasons
mute yet struggling
astute yet mumbling
trying yet fumbling
to be heard.
My shoulders carry a gentle-downy burden
enclosed and curled up i seem to nest
spread out and straight I seem to float
the light above I cannot shut out
warmth encloses me all around
yet no body holds me
as I sigh and stand to glide
I realize sleep is not for the winged…
