DANCE

take a drink
shake those hips
turn up the volume
flash that smile
dance, dance, dance
the night away
move your feet
to the beat
quickly now
before it's over
turn it up a notch
time is almost up
i am not impressed

I'm Being Vaccinated Against You

you're infectious
sickening
outright disturbed
you're a parasite
clinging to anyone

living off of
stealing
draining

and using
never giving
you're a worm
usually hidden
secretly taking
and taking

all nutrients

until removal
you're a virus
attacking

destroying

mutating
you are a disease
and i will not be infected

Success

I don't view it as failure

more like a stalemate

there's no progression

nor is there regression

simply maintaining

this state of self

after that disaster

i couldn't ask for more

i can find my peace

without progress

it might be difficult

to follow the process

the learning

of how loving oneself

is possible

it takes patience

to look deep inside

to analyze

discovery is not easy

but its achievable

its necessary to believe

then reach for

progress

The Regret

we were just looking for a way to escape
from this mundane life for a little while
what seemed to be harmless fun
quickly turned to a form of abuse
A way to dull these emotions
losing control is what i do best
maybe i forgot to mention that
a beautiful mess
when it comes to living life
if only i knew then what i now know
maybe then i could have seen the truth
everything was perfect and right
my heart malfunctioned
i was running from what i created
in search of what i already had
i'm a damned fool, but at least it's for you
let's be foolish and escape into each other
this will be the last time, i promise

Haunted

This family is cursed

the alcoholism entangles the family tree

suffocating it

it took root centuries ago

growing stronger with each new generation

overtaking everything in its path

killing what few good traits are left

the liquor whispers your name

foolishly you drink it

before realizing this is no longer fun

you are stuck

like your ancestors

there's no denying our problems

our family curse pulls us in

it surrounds us

leaving no room to run

Lost

What am i doing here
and how did i arrive
i thought i went home
or did i go back
who observed
nobody knows
no remembrance
of who i am
to be found
someone must know
where i was going
before i ended up here
abandonment
please tell me
where is my keeper?
