Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Saying goodbye: 78 of 99
The smell of matchsticks still lingers on my skinThere is too much to say, so where do I begin?Sit and think about the things that I have doneI think I can forgive them all but oneI never meant to make you my victimNo, not onceI bite my lip and taste the bloodThey say there are no accidentsBut I swear I never thought it upNo,...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Demons: 71 of 87
Half empty maroon short glassFive strands of iceNot as many to make it rightMusic to move and it becomes obvious there is music to grooveThere are middle-aged women's bodies that grind to classic rockAnd over-played radio tunesSo I emit waves into the metal mesh that is my microphoneI know they're prone to drugs and sweatBut ...

There is a flood rolling in and my head is drowningOld faces creeping in and I am stuck between the past and the nowSame songs, same placesGod, I am so sick of the same old yet afraid of new beginningsThis new place is so big it's almost like I'm all aloneWhen I roll over and there's no head to occupy the dent made in your pi...

The final bubble has gone from my throatNow the silence sinks inWith it's taunting sounds of lively chatter from a memory's mouthIt hits me all at once that I am out here all aloneAll I can do is imagine what it would sound like, look like...Feel like to laugh the hard belly kind of laugh that I see on televisionAs I sit on t...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Grass: 6 of 7
I am the infamous conductor of this pleading train to crashIn this urgency which has recently become impossible to lastTo gather the will where there is no fill left to crutch my needOnly finding broken-down paths and woven-through back doors and pyramid schemesMy godsend offers a phone number to which I will not be ignoredI ...

Squirrel CageBoredom is a killer.I know, because it bludgeons me to deathScanning through old photographsFlipping through the pages I haven't eyed in agesLining up the bottles, counting minutes and wondering when the pillowWill hit my face the right wayThere are pictures in my head of old friends I have discardedAnd I wonder ...

Ain't it grand the wind stopped blowin'?Now I've blown it in my mindStraight through like a shotgun woundIn and out just like the nightI can't keep fighting this old fightI won't have no more lips to biteI've started down that muddy path againNow I'm not clean no moreContemplated throwing out my cigarette next to the gas can ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Problems in America: 52 of 58
People are so "on".Got their pose and got their smirks like life's a Hollywood movieWell,My world is twelve year old black boys selling crack on the cornerBody bags on the sidewalk and, in contrast, upper middle class men falling victim to heroin into a black abyssThere are no people to idolize here.
