Don't give up on me, I am still fighting with every breath. I will not give in, so don't let me go. Don't give up on me, I plan on coming home. I'm not letting go, we both know, all I must do is breathe. Don't let this be my last, there is still fight in me. They tell me to just breathe, as if it's so easy. If it were, there would be no need for this machine. Is there still fight in me? All I need to do is breathe, but can I do this without this machine? Do you still believe in me?

Daddy, Please Don't Fear
Daddy, are you still here, or have your demons won? Will I ever hear your voice again, or will they continue to speak through you? Paranoia is a poisonous sickness spreading through body and mind. Constantly fighting between reality and fiction. Unable to identify what is real or what is simply fear. Its clutches dig deep in your soul, but you don’t seem to know. You are watching, you are listening. But who or what is speaking to you? Who or what speaks through you? Daddy, I have a lot to say, but they won’t let me get through. They poison your mind, and in your fear, you hide. But you can’t escape the thoughts that cloud your mind. I look into your eyes, but I can’t find the man that I once knew and loved. But, Daddy, please don’t fear I am sill here.
Light is inconceivable amongst the black abyss of my mind. This lifeless reflection is the epitome of the defeated enduring the endless turbulence of a diurnal existence. Still yet, hope may exist amidst this infinite haze. Light refracts and monochromatic skies transform, revealing hope through the marvel of iridescence.

The Classic Tragedy
I was once in pristine condition A perfect composition But my pages wither and tear My condition turns to fair I was the favorite for many years But now I have come to fear The inevitable day to come When I will be selected by none An epic coming of age A drama worthy of the stage A narrative provoking thought of the downtrodden and distraught Poor condition That would be my description But I was once new Turned away by very few Time and time again My story would begin In the hands of a bosom friend Together the journey will end I’m in no condition to share Now gone beyond repair A favorite none the less But today I shall be laid to rest

Apathetic Slumber
As you sleep, I weep for your attention that I can seem to keep. Your warmth radiates; beckoning me. Yet, I’m hollow and cold. What is unspoken is what is left unknown. However, I’m sure of the indifference you hold. I crave the heart you stole in hopes to find its rightful home.
The lake forgave my interest and my bold trespass on her surface I found calming sparkling light in my tired eyes that ponder her beauty the familiar washing of rippled gust and twirled winds that hush clap against the tall tan cattails and parting lake grass the seemingly endless mirror of blurred bankside slightly out of focus and trembling in the stirring the lake forgave my want for what was hers the tranquility in her very valley among the ravened and blue rock edges the cradle bowl and wash of the seasons she invited me into her cool waters I declined in the most honest way that I could the way meant that I parted her company as a lone eagle screamed a haunting goodbye
I'm a collection of broken things. Begotten of broken love. Raised in a broken childhood. Possessor of a broken mind. I have broken trust, I have broken promises, I have broken time and space, I have broken physical law, I have broken this world. All these broken pieces, coming together in a mosaic. Like broken bones healing, becoming stronger then before.
For all the times I hurt you I bleed. And the memories stay always fresh within the halls of my mind. At any given moment they can and do appear as if they were the now. As clear as morning’s light coming up bright and new. I cry and am ashamed and humbled because you always forgave. To learn from and keep it true seems not enough. Each scar I made tells me of what I was. Yes, I forgave myself, yet shame always reminds me and tells me it is time to remember. but never forget ddb-
Does it count as a lie if I believed it was true— when I said it, when I swore to it? I was misinformed or else I did not listen well... but either way I jumbled the facts short of the truth.
Slow the sky smudges lavender as day breaths its last breath. Night hovers and falls ushering in the stars and oft times the moon, when she chooses to reveal herself.
Thank you for sharing your work! I have been moved by so many of your pieces. Although I am not often online, I always look forward to seeing new work from you!
