UNDER THE INFLUENCE
The road moved.
My eyes played tricks on me.
Stones disintegrated.
The wind whispered my name.
I looked at my hands,
Which turned to dust.
The sun melted
My mind. Something bad
Always happens to me.
LET GO
I could tell you lies.
How many women,
How many lips,
But I can count the fingers
On one hand,
All the women,
All the lips,
I wouldn't have to lie.
I could tell you there was
Only one that mattered.
But listen, shit happens,
And I've stepped
On it and I've been in it
Up to my neck.
Meanwhile I keep her letters
In a shoe box,
Hoarding memories.
It's time to let go.
TRUTH
His truth had come
To comfort him.
Like a child,
It was innocent
and spoke bluntly.
His life was a
Slit throat away
From going back
To the end.
There in his room
A red outline
Was drawn around
His fallen body.
Blood flowed like
A river
All about him.
His truth had come
Razor sharp,
Searching for
The lump in his throat.
It was sad and
Filled with grief.
It wanted to kill.
It wanted to live.
His truth was tired.
No friends and
No enemies near,
It tossed a coin.
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Bite your tongue
Before it's too late.
Don't be sorry.
It's easy,
If you shut your mouth.
Secrets have their
Places and
Lips have the power
To hold back words.
BEHIND THE GLASS
I always accomplish what I set out to do. Get in
my way and you'll see.
I overreact to things. But I don't have any drug or mental
problems.
My mother's the problem. She is the reason why I'm in this place.
She hates me. I don't care what happens. I want some
Demerol.
I can't put up with this migraine. I would rather die than to put
up with
this pain. You're being a bitch. I need Demerol.
Behind that glass
you all feel so safe. But there's only one way out. You're
going to
have to cross my path one way or another and I'll get you. I wish
you
felt what I felt. You would be begging for something to end the
pain.
