Coax the lion
tempt the snake
guide the sheep
and lead the wolves astray

They say you can recreate
the **** you've lost
forget me nots
wont work here
pitiful stranger
I need to remind you of what you are able...
You've got ten fingers
A lavish book set

I press play
dribble the drop
juggle what I've got
now  watch me
go off

Money bags
I will never get my hands on
I know it will curse the man
who stands on it but it does
keep you worry free
I saw my future through
a kaleidoscope that day
and forced my memory
to tuck it away



scared to death (I'm shaking)
of all my "want but never haves"
I wish I never wanted this
wish I never had to have..
Found this gem in my teenage diary I was barely 17 and was coming to terms with my own financial difficulties that were going to transpire soon... I didnt know exactly what was gonna happen or how bad it was going to be actually but I felt that fear brewing in me for a long time and it was getting worse around this time... I'm basically relating to the fact that I never really had money growing up or got to experience what it was like to be spoiled, even in the slightest. the town we lived in was filled up with people who were pretty wealthy so I felt proud for keeping my humility but at the same time I was always so envious of people who got to live that kind of life.

What is inside
an uninhibited house
the promise of potential
progress

empty tables, empty beds
A future stomping with clumsy
Hard work doesnt often come from
negligence
But puzzles are hooked together
by the art of adjustment


Layer top of layer
rock against rock
continuously corroding
You can't be angry at the
result
when you saw it coming
THE ENTIRE TIME

The nest I mend
with little knives
and countless crude
malevolent lies
fill the brim with spit
and sweat
pray it sticks so I can rest
Bowedbranches May 2019
Static tension
sporadic senses
those of which I dare not mention
Dare to know the ******* difference
and write the walls with my existence
