my brain’s full of worms – thoughts strung together – they eat up anything left of worth and leave a trail of filth for me to delve in – nothing left to discover

dealt blow in a way somehow each day – each new stick, stay bleed through in a way some time all the time – right now every other day –

were i alone tonight i’d drown my sorrows one by one and cry out what was left until there wasn’t any left of me – i’d let myself feel free for a few short hours until the sickness set in […]

world – self-worth stolen – where find? – mind my own business? – thank you? – silence tears apart what would bind – words not heard – dreams stolen – future gone – just carry on? – thank you? –

distant humming skull-splitting silence-breaking vanity – denigrating human beings into eager servitude in the quest for being liked for being vain – insanity –

What is the greatest source of inspiration? What can really make you contemplate and urge you forward to complete something? Well, if you’re happy and content you might never see the point of changing anything, right? You cannot know the […]

Where are my sunrises? Where are my sunsets? Where are my days? An endless night has taken their place. Where are my colours? Where is the music? Colourless it fades. A blurry image of a world now passes by – […]

Thick drops bright red dissolving in tonic water – evening distant buzz fading – tired of drinking, too tired not to –

A quiet but merciless centrifugal force of inarticulate gibberish burst from people’s lips around me. There is no respite from the meaning I fail to discern in their murmurings. There is no peace to be had from moving lips and […]

Blanketed by darkness that nestles itself around my heart – probing my brain with foggy tentacles for light left – Leaden arms and legs that feel unlike my own and a voice that speaks through my mouth though I can’t […]

The darkness approaches, I struggle to fight it – it prods and it pushes – deny it; deny it! – there’s part of my soul that it clings onto tightly – I cannot escape it – release me; release me! […]

I am not depressed. I am realistic. Your idea of curing me is to make me sick. I would rather see the truth than soak in fake happiness. I would rather feel pain than imagine fake joy. I would rather […]

There’s a creaking bed next door – a solitary sound – a person quietly turning at eleven o’clock in the morning – sick, perhaps, or tired? Or just unable to see the purpose of facing the world alone? I know […]

Another sleepless night – tired eyes watch the morning creeping into sight – Tearless eyes – the numbing whiteness of the morning mist obscures the light – Would that the morning crept away again to let the day unfold or […]

I am what I am and nothing more (yet nothing less) – a faceless voice praising a world made out of faces – always scorned for things I can’t control, alter or make undone but never praised for those things […]

Once upon a time my ancestors walked this Earth, procreated and died. Now I am here – a relic of their foibles; left behind. And when I’m gone – if things were right – I’d too be passing something on. […]

Light creeps in everywhere to burn away its detractors – the shade runs for cover and I with it – the day struggles with the night and only reluctantly allows it life – the day recuperates to resume the fight […]

No movement – no life – but I am too tired to move out of the spot so I might as well have died – My head insists on life, my heart claims to have died and my body struggles […]

I carry with me a darkness that prevents me from taking flight, a burden of thoughts that possess and bars me from the light. I thought that I should name it to understand and will it away but names tend […]

Spring arrived or so I decided today. The dark fog hovering in my head I willed away. At least for now the sun shines and the air is clear – the cold awakens thoughts and silences the nightmares – The […]
