I find myself in a world of white,
This place it feels so pure.
The Sun's rays are warm and bright
I've never felt so sure.
I explore the land and all its sights,
I enjoy the world's grand tour.
I wander around until the night
Shows what it has in store.
In the darkness, a speck of light
Reveals a hidden door.
I turn the handle and peer inside,
A sight I can't endure.
I turn to run, to escape my plight,
I dare not to explore.
But something inside catches my eye,
I can't resist the lure.
I awake to find myself tied tight,
A voice tries to assure,
"This one may finally fix you right,
Maybe this is the cure."

The Family Has Been Informed
Bullets that are too far away to hear back home
But words that will forever ring just as loud in my ears
Delivered from the lips of a uniformed man
The sympathetic sentence any mother fears to hear
I turn away as if ignoring his presence
Will make this unwanted reality go away
But he repeats that he is sorry for my loss
Those words are the last thing I remember of that day
I find myself looking out of the back yard window
On the swings in the garden I still see my boy play
I am bringing drinks out to him and his brothers
Under the sun, on the grass, on endless summer days
Those memories like photographs in frames on the wall
Now show my so
Does mother notice my visits to the bathroom
Have become more frequent of late?
And how they always seem to be after meal times
When with my parents I’ve just ate
Does she stand in the hall outside the bathroom
With her ear pressed against the door?
Wondering why the tap is running so fast
And what I’ve flushed the toilet twice for
Has she seen all of the empty sweet wrappers
Hidden under my bed when she cleans?
Does she fully understand the significance
Of what this behaviour actually means?
Is purge even a word in her vocabulary
To which she’s able to define?
Does she believe my words or my sunken eyes
When I insist
The first thing she noticed was the smell of her own hair. Someone had washed and brushed it when she had been completely knocked out, washed away the smell of blood and sweat from her body. She didn't open her eyes just yet, but concentrated on figuring out where she was and why. The ground she laid on was soft, some kind of rather rough fabric. She tried to rub the floor with her hands, but couldn't do so. She couldn't move her arms, they were tightly crossed under her breasts. Finally she decided to take a look around and opened her eyes carefully. Everything was pitch dark, and she rolled her eyes and pushed herself on her feet. Only now
Internally Imploding
Indefinitely gaining a painful sense of things that never will be
Permanent images of a will unfulfilled implanted in the mind, vivid, painful, unfair
Omnipresent at all times forever growing and increasing at all times, forever diminishing and decreasing at all times
Contrast between successes and failures of one's expectations expand
The mark of dignity of inner aspirations is lost and failed thoughts and emotions collide, the outcome is overwhelming, introverted
Inside an implosion inside oneself imperfection exists outside of implosion in plain sight of view ahead are images of perfection, vi

My Charade - Part 1
Life is a pointless charade of choices and indiscretions and feelings. I don't want to play anymore. We're stars. Big, beautiful stars, with stone hearts. Burning. Full of "meaning". Huge solitary masses in the sky. All with our own place. But would it really matter if we weren't there? None of us matter. Not even those bright stars. Not even our brilliant Sun, keeping us alive. None of it matters. The Earth could eat us up right now, and it wouldn't mean a damn thing to the Universe.
It wouldn't matter if I jumped.
It wouldn't even be a jump. Just a step. So little effort to carry out an ill discussed deed. Then I would be gone. Erased fr
Everytime i try to care
I am laid bare....
Everytime i try to rise up
I am pushed down...
Everytime i try to be free
I am bound harder...
Everytime i try to love
I am hated...
Everytime i try to believe
I realise its all make believe..
Everytime i try to trust
I am given more reason not to..
Everytime i try to live
I die...
"Why do i still try?
Its because i have nothin to lose"
