Caged

Bars on my windows.Bars on my doorway, Put them up ourselves. Keep us safe, keeping our Troubles at bay. Safe in our homes we haveBecome imprisoned. Who imprisoned us?Did we do it?

I ain’t no angel….a poem

Why do they flee me? In school, I would sometimes set my desk on fire just sitting with daydreams of loss….Continue reading “I ain’t no angel….a poem”

Hello. I’m remembering and sharing my earliest thoughts of suicidal tendency and attempt, in the hope that someone else can benefit from them.

I never knew….a poem

Detroit, where everyone was econocally free and the towers stood proud and free, Where people could work for themselves to express their passions,and such worries a silly sitcom.

….through divine eyes…., a poem.

So, which is it? The chicken or the egg? Before you can observe it, what is the state of a molecule?

I know not what She sees, I only knows She watches me,Continue reading “….through divine eyes…., a poem.”

Been wondering how to help a certain fog slowly boiling in a pot of water. When I look at the fog, it’s eyes are glazed and far off, and it appears its consciousness is not at home.
