The river

Time sleeps in my absence

I am caught between banks of the river

I see stars, but no storms

I want out, not in

I see you there watching me

Judging where I am

I wish too that I wasn't this way

I will change for you, mother

Calling my name

Calling me out

Out in the open

I can hear her voice through subtle whispers

She speaks into my ear

I want to know who she is

I want to see her breath of fire enter my lungs

I love this girl, she is an amazing being

Full of...

Enter the summer

Eternal sunlight arises

Amidst stifling darkness

May the moon shine brightly

On her experiences

May she find the light at the end of her tunnel

My path is narrowing

I have extreme worry

I wonder if I can summon the courage to go...

When bewildered paths cross

The light shown through the trees

Illuminated darkness

I walk alone, in a forest, made of men and many

I look to left only to see the stars brighten the sky

To the right, only trees

I wish there was a way you could see this with me

Universe

Divine sprinkles

Guide my light

Across the stratospheres of time and space

I move fluidly like momentum shown

Deepest, brightest star in the universe

May she continue to call my name

In the twilight of my destiny

Desire's home

Once

The light shown through

Once

I didn't feel as though I was drowning

The sea was enchanted,

And all that glows was made evident.

From the freedom of her eyes.

Thoughts were a dream

And the miracle of life was born

The great...

Death, sorrow

This world

Gets on my last nerve

People

Make me wish for death

They judge

They hate me

I wish the pain was over

I stare to heaven

But remain lost

In hell on this planet

If Jesus were alive, could I be fixed?

I...

That last little boy

Little boy, I'm sorry

I don't feel sorry for you, but I am sorry for what you've gone through

I didn't plan it this way, or maybe I did

The books you've read said there was a destination, a purpose in all of this

But what if it was just...

The cell I'm in

Self doubt drives concern

Will he make it?

Will he burn?

Will he destroy himself before the tide has turned?

Karma is at my back door

Banging on the roof

Crawling through the window

Demon's hoof

Head pounding

The cracks...

Spiritual jargon

They hate those words

That might set them free

I'm lost in a forest

Out to sea

I'm still just a child

In a world so big

Not knowing where to turn

Not knowing when to speak

The spiritual world got me all messed up

I...

Nothing is ok

Them tides, they've turned

The world is at war

I try and keep it peaceful

But my spirit is torn

The same who've hurt me

Are calling for allegiance

To their deathly strategy

To destroy with obedience

Their plan is heinous

Oh, how things have changed

The shadow on that wall

Makes noises in my ear

Not allowed to be myself, they say

Not wanted, they say

Go away, die in that pit of hell, it screams at me

I wonder, was I ever really a king?

Was I ever wanted, important, loved?

Stuck in reverse

Slow down, Kelley

That's what they keep telling me

But I can't go any slower

I'm feeling like a failure and am trapped

In words I can't decipher

Cryptic messages that mean nothing to anyone

I want to get lost and drown in the...

On the verge

What if it collapses?

What if I break?

I'm falling, dying slowly

Ego torn to pieces

Bright sunshine on the edge of a heart holocaust

There is bleak, and then there is darkness

Dark sunrises

Black holes swallowing the whole moon...

Stasis

Stagnant, the suffering sits heavy

Weighs my heart down like stone

Fire can't burn it away

Water can't wash it away

Seething tongues heavy speak into my ear

Of my worthlessness

The misery ensues, no end in sight

The weight of...

My apology

The ones I hurt, to them, I'm sorry

You deserved none of it

I was arrogant, manipulative

The tides turn in the belly of the storm

I am being washed clean

Strung up and tied down like a man under water

I apologize, I know I've hurt...

The pain

Rumbles underneath the staircase of my soul like rain

The monsters trying to ascend and make a mess of my mind

I wish the pain would end

I see stealthy wise ancestors of time destroying my will to be alive

I feel angry mobs of coffee...

Distant

Voices in my mind

Rummaging around in the basement

Vying for control

Misusing me, abusing my mind

Taking control

I'm running from the pain

The fear is overwhelming

These wicked people are out for blood

They want my life

A life lost

All the juice has run out of this life

The fire went out

The meaning is gone and the purpose run dry

I see no reason to keep going

Other than perhaps to keep my family from suffering my loss

I want to leave this earth so badly

Descent

Hell, brimming with fire

Calls my name

I descend into misery

Do you see why I don't want to go there?

Why I would rather choose an end to my life which doesn't involve that fire?

I'm serious when I say I want to leave

The pain is...

The lucky dead

I wish I was one of them

I wish I would perish

My life has lost all meaning

It is pure tragedy

I go to bed dreaming of death

And loathe waking up in the morning

Maybe this is because of the ways I've hurt others

Maybe it's a...

The terrain of my soul

I don't want to be here anymore

I'm sick of this life

I'm sick of the people, the places, the endless nothingness

I want to go home

Let me go, mother. Let me go home, to the real God, the real Love of my life

I don't belong and I...

Slimeball

Dweeb, dufus, pervert

Hated, bullied

Bruised battered ego

Skeezeball, nasty little boy

Disgusting filthy little puke of a child

It's going to take everything within me to battle this spirit

The spirit of death which wants my life...

Kill me

This worthless soul

Watch him spin his wheels

Like yarn

Into nothing

The mind races

His mind races

Wanders past acres and acres of dry land

He's alone, lonely, dying

He's like an icicle of death falling to the ground

Bad one

Hates his life, his soul

Must have been born bad

No one likes him anymore

Alone without a name

What went wrong?

Where did he fall so far off?

I love you Kelley. And I'm sorry you've had to go through what you did.

Unstable

The attention people give me is strained

The emotions I have are misunderstood even by myself

I feel distance in people's voices

And I feel so alone

On the other side of reality, in another life, with another lifetime

When death comes knocking

There is nowhere to run anymore

Death arrives at my doorstep

Waiting for me to open the door

She wants me like no lover has wanted me more

And I wish to fall into her arms

Swooning my last breath

The gun drawn to my bloody face

Forget me

Life has run so meaninglessly dry

The long expanse of time and space

Death seems like a miraculous event

It's the train I want to ride to the end of the cosmos

Why are you all so happy? How can you be? Don't you see what's happening...

The happiness seems to come and go

And I wish there was something I could do to make it stay

I wish there was a place I could go where I felt at home

Hell defined

We all have our various descriptions

Depictions of the realms of hell

For me, it isn't mine anymore

It is yours

There was a philosopher who described hell as others

I was in agreement for a long time

Then disagreement

But now I...

Feeble attempt at hope

I wish I could give you something other than my depression and longing

Other than my fear and pain

I wish I could tell you it all gets better

Because for a time it did

It did get better

And then the window shattered and the fragments...

As a bum

Homeless in Florida

In Colorado

Not only have I been a bum

But I've bummed out the rich people

The only solace I find beyond depression

Is my lovely mother

Who cares for me, loves me unconditionally, uncontrollably

Getting out of bed

I rise slowly

It's hard to alive myself

It would be easier to unalive

And no longer suffer

I pray for my family

I know they would miss me terribly

And even in a world that doesn't seem to care

I would hope to survive myself

Foggy window

Forged in my heart there is a way to another life

Maybe a new one where I experience joy once again

I would hope that hope is alive and real

There is quite a lot of darkness

Smudges on the soul I wish...

What it's like

It's like I'm dying slowly

Imprisoned in this clown suit

The weight of the world

The pressure consumes

And overwhelms me

Depression is the norm

Good feelings have stopped

The misery of this planet

Lost at sea

Plummeting down to hell

I feel lost in a sea of nothingness

The disease

My head is sick.

It makes my body sick.

I wonder how to stop the pain.

This cancerous sore in my being, the soul. A sickly, dying soul.

Is this real? Am I real?

Is everything I ever believed to get me through the suicidal times...

That searching for the meaning of life

Walk toward heaven
