In the stroke of the midnight hour,
From the depth of my heart i felt;
Kindle not a fire you cannot quench,
It is easier to raise the devil than to lay him;
If pouring oil on the fire doesn't quench it,
Then let bygones be bygones.

Still i feel it now,
Necessity and opportunity may make a coward vialant.
Pardoning one offence will encourage many,
Mercy to the devil is cruelty to the people;
Pardoning the bad is injuring the good,
We are not here to think of offenders.
Seldomly seen, soon forgotten, is the society,
But it's better to be a has-been than a never never-was!

I looked, before i leaped,
The resolved mind has no cares;
Bold resolutions is The favourite of providence,
So now it's the time!

They should be punished with no mercy,
For their sins and cruelty.
They are the who,
Once talked of, now forgotten!
Behind whose smiles daggers were hidden,
And whose blood couldn't be washed with blood!
The plunders,
The massacres,
The murders,
The screams;
They are supposed to be gone,
And not forgotten!

Black will take no other hue,
So does white!
Let's change our stereotypical mindsets and break the social norms...

Everything is ok.
Each deft stroke,
Each ruby bead
Dropped off a ****,
Each strike of lightning,
Or each flaming kiss.

It’s all ok.
Nothing is wrong with this.
Don’t tell me otherwise.
My mindset back then was messed up. I decided that all the pain I gave myself, that it was ok. Another way of life that isn’t bad. It is.

I had built my confidence out of fragility
It was like a sandcastle, so beautiful and bold

I almost believed in it; I was almost convinced
That this confidence will endure the strongest of tides

But then and with the first wave of reality
The sands moved under the castle that was swallowed by the shore.

And denial swallowed my presence along with the storms of insecurity and fear ...

For Some It Seems Perception ... LEANS ...  
Toward THOSE Dreams of ... " FANTASIES " ...  

But TRAGICALLY The CATASTROPHE ...  
Is Perception ISN'T Better Than ... REALITY ... !!!
In FACT Thoughts Like These NEED Some CLARITY ... !!!  
  
Perceptive Brains NEED To ... TAKE THE STRAIN ... !!!!!  
And DEAL With The REAL Rather Than Leave The Keel ...  
UneVenLY Balanced And ... PAINFULLY Challenged ... !!!  
  
By This ... What I Mean ...  
IS ... " Living The Dream " ...  
AIN'T ALL That It ... " SEEMS " ...  
  
Sometimes Within Life You HAVE To FACE Trials ...  
That REALLY ... AREN'T That Nice ... !!!!!  
  
NO TIME For DENIAL Or ... " Jeremy Kyle " ... !!!!!!!!!!!!  
THAT Line ... Makes Me Smile ... !!!  
  
What's Up With THAT SHOW ... ?!?  
Perception FULL BLOWN WITHOUT The ... " Green Mile " ...  
  
NOBODY Can Know Another Mans' WOES ... !!!  
Perception Is Something ... Reality BLOWS ... !!!!  
  
When Comfort Zones Go And FALSEHOODS Unfold ..................  
Perceptions of People ... Make Some Turn To EVIL ... !!!  
  
"He ain't no bad guy, he don't know the game !  
We'll make him feel like, he's sweeter than cane !"  
  
See ... " Kindness For Weakness " ...  
Can Leave People ... TEETHLESS ... !!!
  
It's ALL A Deception This FAITH in ... " Perception " ...  
  
"He's got to sell drugs, just look at his mug,  
and look at his hair, it makes me feel scared !"  
  
See Perception's A LAIR Where Cats Should BEWARE ... !!!  
Cos' Reality BITES Just Like Those ... BED MITES ... !!!  
  
Affecting Your Sleep When Thoughts Start To ... "creep" ...  
INTO YOUR CONSCIENCE Because of PURE NONSENSE ... !!?!!  
  
Like ACTS of Deceit That Leads Some To ... "CHEAT" ...  
And Treat Their Beliefs Like Leaves Blown On Streets ...  
  
THROWN Here And There In FACT ... EVERYWHERE ...  
As If What They KNOW Just ... CANNOT Be So ... !?!  
  
Now THAT DON'T Add Up ... Perception And TRUST ...  
TRUST What You KNOW ... NOT What Is On SHOW ... !!!!!  
  
THE HYPE's Been DEFINED ...  
PERCEIVE ... What You Like ... !!!  
  
I Deal In What's FACT NOT Fantasy Acts ... !!!!!  
  
It Seems That Most Minds PERCEIVE What They Like ...  
Rather Than Walk The Path Where DARK Finds The Light ... !!!  
  
Perception Will ALWAYS PREVAIL In These Types ...  
Who Just CANNOT Face ... The Darkest of Times ... !!!!!  
  
Because They THEN SEE What REALITY Feeds ... !!!!!  
SEEDS And SEAMS That Sometimes Seem ...  
As If THE DREAM ... AIN'T Quite So Clean ... !!!!!  
  
But Truth Be Told As Time ... U N F O L D S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  
  
It Is Just What It ... NEEDS To Be ... !!!!!  
FILLED With ... Vagaries of Scenes ...  
  
Scenes of MORE Than ... PETTY Wars ...  
Scenes of PEACE ... And YES BEAUTY ...  
And EVEN Scenes of .... UNITY ....  
  
Which ALL EMBRACE ... " REALITY " ... !!!  
  
But Reality's SEAMS AREN'T ALL Like These ... !!!  
It's Balance and TRUTH That ... In MY VIEW ...  
SHOULD Be USED ... To School The Confused ... !!!!!  
  
Cos There Are A Few Who'd Rather CHOOSE ...  
Perception OVER ... What Is TRUE ... ?!?  
  
So ....
Is Perception BETTER Than ... " Reality " ...  
These Days I Can SEE ...
How To Some It Can Seem That It May Just Be ... ?!?  
  
I Guess That's The LESSON That Leaves MANY STRESSING ...  
The Ideas of INCEPTION ... That Minds Be ACCEPTING ...  
  
So Here's My LAST QUESTION ...  
Is It All A Deception That's NEEDING CORRECTION ... ?!?  
  
Or NOW An ... INFECTION ...  
That NEEDS To STOP Spreading ...  
Peoples' ... " CONCEPTIONS " ...  
  
Of Life Through ...  
  
..... " Perception " ......
What You Perceive May Indeed ... Deceive ...

Hush we’re not talking about it
We have nothing to say
No we have nothing to share now
Nothing can help anyway
We buried it deep you can’t find it
And we won’t let anything slip
I can’t even try to explain how
But I’ll try to give you a tip
Just walk away, what you don’t know
Can’t hurt you or anyone here
We smothered emotion completely
So now there is nothing to fear.

I could easily be addicted

EASILY be addicted.

I'm easily addicted.

or am I easily addictive?

or addictivly easy.

I'm easy?... me?

am I addictively easy?

easily an addict?

I mustn't be.

YOU are the one addicted to me.

The vicarious visage of life
Hidden behind masks.
A broken mask
Means a broken man.
I’m proud of this name for some reason. Also I think I’m overworking myself. 2:30 was when I went to bed after finishing stuff, then 5:30 was when I woke up.

|content warning in notes|

i never met the little one
they flushed away that night
a fleeting dreamt up fantasy
miscarried out of sight.

i never even thought not once
a fate where they survived
but all i think about them now
is that fleeting dreamt up night.

i never met the little one
whose name i wouldn't hear
for losing more than fantasy
was too dangerous a fear.

That's REALLY NOT HOW They Seem To Get Down ... !?!    
Do They FEAR POLICE When They Walk The Streets ... ?    
Upon FOREIGN Shores Or Live Like The ... POOR ... ?!?    
      
Their Standards STAY HIGH ... !!!    
Wherever They .......... " LIE " ...........    
Of Course I Meant ... " LAY " ... !!!    
      
But In The ... U.K.      
Immigrants AREN'T OKAY ... !!!    
And Should YES .......................................... PLAY AWAY .......    
      
UNLESS They Will Play In Ways That Display ....    
A Wish To CONFORM And NOT Kick Up A Storm ... !!!    
When How They Are Treated Is ... RACISM Born ... !!!!!!!!!!    
      
I DOUBLE UP My Standards So That They Stay HIGH ... !!!    
And WILL NOT Have HANDLERS Decide How I Ride .... !!!    
      
And DON'T KEEP ******* Types ...    
Standing .... By My Side ... !!!    
    
And DON'T Hide Behind Lies ...

Afraid,
afraid to speak my mind.
Afraid to tell you the truth in fear of you getting defensive and rude.
So I let you trample over me with your gas lighting and ****** words, I start to believe what your saying even though I know its lies. Your always right and i'm wrong, so how could I know right from wrong?
Oh, that's right! I've been telling myself the truth, while you've been living in denial your whole life. But, I'm just a silly little kid.
All that matters is your feelings, never mine. The last thing you called me still rings in my ears "Abusive", "Toxic", "Narcissistic"..... I never once told you any of the rude things I wanted to call you, because you already knew what you are. Look in the mirror and repeat those same words to yourself they suit you better.
I know i'm none of those mother.
