the bull riders came
from near and far
to try and conquer
Chainsaw's elevated bar

he'd buck them off afore
the eight second crack
none would last upon
his awesomely built back

around the rodeo circuit
this bull had a legendary status
for beating they who'd do
battle with his feisty apparatus

the goading spur of rider
not disconcerting him
he'd show them that he
was ever potent in trim

of an immortal bovine
we'll never see again
so celebrate the elan
of Chainsaw's grain

Depression
For me
is never
This
or
That.

Some days it's being sad
So sad and play that sad playlist
Titled Sad Songs
Make me cry
to
Make me feel
to
Make me
Sad.

Other times
I'm
Out with friends doing
Things I usually love and we're
"Having fun!"
But I'm
Faking it.
Don't wanna bother them
"Oh no I'm just tired"
Sort of
Depressed.

But then there's this.
I can't.
I'm
                           numb.
I'm here but I'm not
I'm laughing and
Responding and I'm here
But I'm
not.
And I'm terrified of myself.
Because if I'm not here
Who is in control of me
Aside from my
depression.
It's at this stage
That I stop.
And I'm not me anymore.
I'm just
             off.

“oh baby girl, as in the beginning, as everything has started. turn off your emotions, your feelings, everything. all over again. so you are not going to feel pain, love, sadness like a fool again. do it and we are going to be just the three of us together like the old times. do it and everything is going to be all right, again.”

K said to me.
Bull eve me (Adam, whether existence
     fact or fiction),
     his immediate legion heirs whole
heartedly partook
     to regale no Joe king paternal prominence,
     sans legendary, fraternity,
     and consanguinity subsequently implemented

     faux pas threatening Nittany Lions role
attested by this papa, a curmudgeon
     resident of the North Pole
burrowed deep within tundra

necessitated drilling permafrost black hole
son, which boring task found me dissatisfied,
     asper penultimate existential goal
thus, I decided to sell coal
to New Castle, transported
     within loco motive conveyance
     doubling up as fish bowl
decimated crossing Arctic
     great barrier reef Atoll

lauded me with mouthy gift horses,
     (one Mister Ed, adore
hubble hoof only high saddled
     Equus caballus neighing boar)

feted me, a hay er raising chore
followed by Mister Barns Noble encore
generation standing ovation,
     a deafening applause
     resonated across the floor
then an electrifying speech
     by (plan net fitness diehard) Albert Gore
describing ******, pillaging,

     And looting dip lore
able incursions as heath n (moor
or less opprobrious upon poor
sacred Mother Nature
     whimpering and softly doth roar
ring, now treated like a *****

telltale global devastation
     impossible to ignore agog
pollution extant across
     entire world wide web bog
gulls restorative legislation,
     when offal debris doth clog
estuaries, where watersheds habitat
     choking with despair,

thus imperative to grab hold collective
     figurative (corny as this may seem) ear
cuz jackknifed, irreparable,
     horrible gnashing fear
fully betokens catastrophic
     environmental fractured glare
ring ****** impailment here
and everywhere.

She was the reason
He was finally able
To take off his mask
Love takes off masks we fear we cannot live without, but know we cannot live within.

what if one day you wake up and realize you don’t want me anymore?... you’ll see me the way I see myself and you’ll leave me.
What if my worst fear comes true ?
What if you realize you truly are better without me?
That all I ever did was bring you down never made you happy
what if you realize and admit that everything I say about myself is true... you’ll see me for the trash that I am and you’ll leave and be happier without me.
I couldn’t say anything tho all I want is for you to be happy but if that’s not with me then I can’t stop you
I love you and I don’t want to lose you but will you be better off?
Will you want to leave me for someone better?
You seemed happier the day we didn’t talk.. were you?
What if I trap you in this relationship am I? I’m sorry if I don’t let you leave if you truly want to you can go yes I’ll cry but if it’s what you want I’ll idk I’ll be okay as long as your happy

Ar ar ar
Merry deathmas

Massive boon of life, you
No man feasts on your bones

Not those very fungi

(sorry)

Fi Fum drum you Protoctist ****
Shear the skin from the fun
Stuff
White and node of muscled life
Make your narrow bed of marrow bread

Yeehaw life's a draw
and death presents a certain
certainty

Theres no mystery in
the biggest mystery
That it goes
pumping
with 777ccs of force
and maybe 1200 horse
power

Equine
and divine giant you
cud and horse and seed anew
stool of toad and brush of mold
return to state before
there was...
you?

I rest but don't sleep.
I eat but don't taste.
I hear but not listen.
I linger but not dream.
I rise but don't wake.
I look but don't see.
I touch but don't feel.
I'm feeling rather off waking up this morning...
