The icy touch of fear travels through my spine
Thoughts of what is to come eats away at my bones
A monster rips apart my skin like paper with teeth like daggers
A vulnerable creature eats grass undisturbedAs a prowling beast sits behind the bushesWaiting ever so quietlyFor the perfect moment to strike Magical peaks in the skyVast oceans of lifeRolling hills of greenBeautiful mounds of snow An instinct to
Time is merely a vision of a nonexistent reality.
We are constrained by the clutches of time.
Time is in all the places we seek and around all the corners we turn.
I creep through my house
In middle of a stormy night
I am on the hunt for a glass of milk
But little do I know
I am the prey
Post-Eruption
If wanting you makes me clingy,
Guess I’m just the monkey on your back always waiting to attack
Can’t relax
Can’t mellow emotion

I have so much to say
So much to ask
Please look past my appearance
And look past my past
I tell you, we’re blinded by culture
We don’t hear the truth
So I’m counting on you
Daisies fall from your hair
Adrenaline flows through my blood
I hear your lungs gasp,
They inhale my soul.
My fingers are burned by your fire
Our entwined hearts have been crushed
Not a word will slip,I refuse to allow a single one
Why?
Because you don't understand...You can't even fathomWhat's going through my head
A poisonous lure tugs at my heart
Which as of now has yet to start
Should I forsake my righteous robe
For filth and rubbish, vile
My eyes, downcast, and dimly focused
I write because I'm broken
I'm an imperfect human thing
I write to not be silenced
to speak about my pain
I write to get out
these emotions
that all eat
lurking like a demon

Hey Dad
It's me
I miss you
I know you always admired my poetry
My writing
My brains
I hope you're reading this
From up there
I hope you can hear me
I hope I'm being heard
What would you do,
What would you say,
If someone said to draw your troubles away?
Would you paint landscapes of fire,
