  • Untethered

    You laughed
    I wanted to hold this image in my mind forever
    Will it be repressed when you’re gone?
    When I am untethered?

    To be untethered in this world is a terrifying thought
    Losing one parent meant losing my mind, this happened before, do you remember?
    To lose you as well, my sanity might well dwindle
    Turn from small fire to barely smouldering embers

    So when my mind’s gone to join you in the aether
    What will become of me?
    I’ll die when you die, and perhaps heavily sigh
    For a part of me will be lost at sea

  • I Guess I Could Do Worse

    Hey
    How’s it going?

    Sorry to be annoying
    Just trying to fill a void

    It runs deep within me
    Don’t be annoyed

    If you felt this way
    I’d help you too
    But you don’t, it’s me
    I’m a big piece of poo

  • Confronting Feelings

    I eat to stop my feelings

    I eat to make them soar

    I eat too much and drink too much

    And end up on the floor

    I used to be so different 

    I used to have control

    I’m working on this, but substances

    Have truly taken their toll

    So see me in the future 

    What does the future hold?

    I can beat it if I can feel it

    Or so that’s what I’m told

  • Ripped At The Seams

    He put a hole in my heart
    I put a hole in my hand
    Life put a hole in my head
    For which I never planned


    It struck me down in my youth
    Can fix a hole in a wall
    Or a hole in a tooth
    But sanity falls like a neck through a noose


    So catch it you say
    It can’t be that hard
    Just put out your hands
    Try to catch the shards


    I’ve tried that and tried
    It’s harder than it seems
    It appears that you lied
    My mind’s ripped at the seams

  • Awakening

    Stepping from the bright to dark
    From glaring sun to rain
    I felt a brain and body spark
    Alleviate the pain

    Dreaming of mind sinking
    In another realm
    It shocked me into thinking
    And led to overwhelm

    It spoke my name softly
    But persistently too
    I listened hard, I listened fast
    And so it grew and grew

    But somewhere between sleep and wake
    My senses came to
    I let go of that stabbing ache
    And sanity shone through.
