Terror grips a young man's mind. A smile; a mask he hides behind. Darkness spreads out like roots, Joy is stamped out by another's boots. Marked as a "bad kid", A kettle; about to pop it's lid. Emotions blend into a mess. Anger = happiness. I fill the void with whatever I can. Danger and … Continue reading Strife

Monday Morning – Flash Fiction
He stares at me from in between the door frame. Eyes staring daggers into my soul. One kick of his muscular leg and I go careening down the stairway. Hands helplessly clawing at the walls, as my feet betray my desire to stand. The air rushes out of my lungs as I collide with the … Continue reading Monday Morning – Flash Fiction
Mirrored
Staring at myself... My past, scars my broken face. A stranger stares back...
Pain in my A..ddiction
Addiction I've written about my addiction, in the past. Addiction is something you carry with you for life. It has a real hold over you. It's not psychosomatic, it's a legitimate issue.

Sometimes on the darkest day, When light is but a fading thought. I sit upon the edge of you, Wondering if this is all for naught. Your beauty is truly sublime. You offer is hard to resist. An escape from the subprime, Where redemption may still exist. Your whispers smell of sweet decay, Staring down … Continue reading The Void
Fallen – A Haiku
Dropping quickly down. Building up momentum fast. Rock bottom is near.
One Hit
Today is the day. I will no longer get my fix. No doubt. No way. Getting myself out of the mix. I feel so free, I am finally me. Tired as hell, Not feeling so well. Distracting my brain, Life is a strain. Crawling out of my shirt. One hit wouldn’t hurt. Wait, stop! What … Continue reading One Hit
Joker
As funny as it seems, To crush other people’s dreams. Your no kidder... You’re always messing with my mind, But everyone is blind. Every words a lie, But no one bats an eye. Your everyone’s favorite clown, But you always bring me down. Down, Down, Down... In sorrow I drown. Only one thing left to … Continue reading Joker
Ghosts of the Past
I have had nightmares for the past 20+ years. I had a few years where I stopped having nightmares, but that was only because I worked overnights and developed insomnia. Only sleeping for 3 to 4 hrs. everyday. I didn't realize at the time how years of sleep deprivation were affecting my body. I was … Continue reading Ghosts of the Past
