I am afraid that if I pluck every single bad part of me, then I won’t be me anymore.

Maybe that’s just who I am.

I am all the bad parts of me.

Are there levels to this?
Is there a hierarchy for morality?

In some way I think we all are just as equally messed up.
Simply that some are less immune to it.

Maybe I am everything wrong with me,
everything I have done,
hurt,
bruised,
is just a sliver of my true nature.

The wind blows as I sigh in a pained breath
Watching the moon brood as I sink into its alluring strength
So pretty, the pale moon contrasts with the sky
a light like a satellite, slice it in half like a knife
Shining through it all was my smile
shimmering in the summer weather, observing the scene in front of my eyes

Leaves from a dropping tree hide most of the existence
The swing of the past gravitates in a motion of the present
Shadows dance like a ritual
bringing back the captures
trusting the lore
Darkness fills the orbs
spells of the shores
mingle into my thoughts
swayed me away
to the mediocre array

Never would the willow eye be open
Never would the cracking hearts be broken
nausea of a sick addiction
choked, cardiac, into a numbing pain
Kind words for a mouth of thee
left nothing of purpose in those minds of machines

Let the pain go
Watch the stars above
nothing's there to hold
nothing's there to guide anymore
The digital clouds the beauty
Now left a hellish lot of duties
Why did you take away the only sunny ray of stars from the midnight
forever in misery like a lost traveller in the forest's nights

no guide
no light
weeping to the moon, who will never forget
Therefore, it's too young today
just like you were once
When the stars were still aligned
Except, when were you really young?
A question, a few healers solemn
Happy fathers day
I swish and i sway
I'm in an ocean
I start to decay

Drowning in emotion
You taught me to be brave
Always a commotion
You wouldn't have it any other way

I had to be brave
From the things you would say
You left us in the ocean
Floating in decay

You're tortured with demons
And left us at bay
Screaming and crying
You yelled at us to behave
As we all simply float away
While you hide in your cave

Happy fathers day
I'm not sure what to say
Maybe I love you
It's true I do
But maybe
I also want to say
I hate you
For everything you put us through
kinda feeling conflicted
Everything I know and love—
Are just some pretty words.
Neither I find myself in them,
Nor did I ever tried to find them.

Oh, how I do adore cosplay,
In silks and lace I drift, I sway.
I wear the dresses, to dance among them,
Bask in their gaze, smile in their awe.
To slowly drown in the flow.
To do love them. To do hate them.

To hate it—yet return again,
To hover near familiar pain.
To seek the thing I claim to flee—
To show the purest form of hypocrisy.
To do not want pain—
To do want pain.

To be hurt, yet sit upon the edge,
To view the world beyond the ledge,
So beautiful, so awful, so complete.
To still wait, for someone to meet,
To push me, off the edge,
Cause I can’t myself…
I just can’t myself…

To not crave desire,
To still care.
To want to cry,
To want to not.
To touch, to pull—
To do not…

To exist… in probability…
To be lost… in the farthest ends of reality…


Everything I know and love—
Are just some pretty words.
Neither they make myself love,
Nor they fixing my broken world.

I hate how you ruined song after song.
It’s not fair that you have that power so strong.
Music is the only thing that makes me belong.
Taking that away is just plain wrong.

It may be cute but hear it from my view,
Getting a song captioned, “this reminded me of you.”
Makes the song stick to you like glue.
So after you hurt me I can’t stand it and take it off queue
I made something-look
but it's no good

You gave the critic first
before I got to them...
Was it a shield,
or would I reach the dreamers field

I heard your message
and it struck

sticks to me  
like sandpapered honey

The bitter truth

Or a perspective
from you

I think the only reason I wanna change,
​is cause' I don't like me,
in any way, shape, or form.

I want to bury this tragic excuse of a human,
and create something new,
as if this was never there.
To start all over again.

No matter how many compliments I get,
or how you think of me,
I hate every inch of it.
This disgusting body,
with me slowly balding,
gaining weight,
and the joyful expression leaving my face.

You won't understand,
the feeling of pure resentment,
of filthiness,
just by looking at myself.

I hate this feeling.
It taunts my brain,
telling me I should better,
more perfect.

But, I know that'll never happen,
if i'm forever in,
this never-ending cycle of self-loathing.
And, in the end,
that's what's making it last so long.
It get's worse and worse,
as the people around me laugh.
Calling me names,
like "weird" or "ugly"

It hurts, you know?
when everyone in the world,
stares and judges silently,
making tear flow,

Making it worse.

How can I hate them,
when they taught me how to love
But never loved me.

How can I hate them,
when they taught me how to care
But never cared about me.

How can I hate them,
when they taught me to live
But never cared if i died.

How can I hate them,
when they taught me to speak
But never spoke with me.

How can I hate them,
when they taught me how to shout for help
But shushed me when I tried to scream.

How can I hate them,
I don't now—
I just started to hate myself..
I don't hate them now..

I hope the ghost of me haunts the silence you created.

I'm sick and ******* tired
of scraping my pride
down to the bone,
asking for helping,
and hearing nothing.
my life has fallen apart
in three months
after years of beating back
against my tears and indecision.
those that want to, can't.
those that can don't want to.
the fire in my throat isn't half
as searing as the hatred i feel
for the South African tech genius,
searching for waste,
and the ones that failed us.
i carry this molten stress in me,
and i want the worst to happen
to those living their lives everyday
without worry about rent
or food or their car's
impending repossession.


this isn't even a poem anymore,
it's a cry for help.
My life has fallen apart and if one more stranger ignores me or a loved one promises it'll be okay while I starve and barely stay housed, I will keep losing my mind. I have headaches every day and want to rip my own skin off
