It’s a cruel, cruel summer _____ The day that I was born I wake to burning skies Orange and copper that tears the skin from my bones as I stand naked in the light I stand bare against the summer sun and dream of waves that can wash me away The ground has pulled me close The sky has pushed me away Gravity claimed me as a child and clipped my wings I have been deceived about my heritage But it is too late for me to fix Bright eyes speak to me through darkness Glints of Gleaming and hints of the horrors yet to come Beyond the horizon lays the ocean Beyond the sea lies the edge of the world that I’d hoped to see Beyond the horizon lies more horizon, always on _____ its side. Always lying down under the weight of _____ hopes and dreams the travelers before me have _____ abandoned, hoping to make it one step farther. And around the next bend lie their corpses and I find _____ myself among family. My kin The Elephant Graveyard relocated The night. The darkness. The light of the moon. The ...

Cast the Bones

I write words like spells. To pull me from my skin, to Slide To set each cell and capillary aflame as my soul bursts from its cell I listen to the music that will drown me. Like rushing tides that pull me beneath the caps and rolls of waves A crystal blue prison that will make me panic as I feel a darkness close around me Like winter to enfold me Like a night to claim me Like all the horrors you can imagine Like all that, but wonderful instead I think it’s wonderful. And I feel no shame in this. Only desperation when it goes and I cannot follow Only despair when I wake from haunting dreams and see the sun shining in my eyes To touch Heaven, to touch God My Heaven my God And then strip it away like flesh flayed from the skin Like a knife that cuts its tracks down my arm To feel fibers sever and muscle tear and nerves that scream Nerves that scream like I scream when my eyes open to this place Every moment of agony Every moment of it agony Books weigh like anchors on my feet To pull me t...

Okay, this is a story I wrote for one of my english classes last year. I'm very, very proud of it. Short disclaimer: I'm neither encouraging assisted suicide nor advocating it. This is fiction, don't take it so personal. Choices “Don’t get the wrong impression. I’m not in it to help ease peoples suffering, or to make the world a better place, or any shit like that. I’m not risking my career in medicine for some noble cause. I’m in it for the money and only for the money. I help people commit suicide for the money.” “Is there a lot of money to be made in that field of work?” “Tons. Loads. I make more money than God.” “Really?” “No, that was sarcasm. Are you an idiot?” “More sarcasm?” “No, I was being serious that time.” This guy was starting to piss me off. Stupid psychiatrist. The hospital I work for is making me see him to make sure that my line of work has not caused any unseen mental issues. I told them the...

From now on, or at least today, Wednesday is "You know what I hate?" day. So to start things off: You know what I hate? English majors. I know what you're thinking. "Aren't you an English major?" Yes, I am. But why do you think I put it off for 3 years? Because they suck. They are unbearably pretentious and the only form of life more useless that Communication majors and the only ones more annoying than Art majors. They all think (and by "all" I am excluding myself) they're going to write the next great novel. But what they fail to remember is that most people who become famous for art related issues only become famous after they're dead. Picasso. William Shakespeare. (he was, admittedly, popular in his day, but that was because he wrote plays people wanted to see, he wrote what was "hot." It wasn't until much past his time that he was honored and respected for creating "art.") There are more, obviously, but I would...

Five Alarm

A steady rhythm Inhale Exhale Smoke-filled lungs Inhale Exhale A glorious epitaph Such a wonder opens before me Coffers of splendor A myriad of voids and endless worlds A hooker under a street lamp A gangster in a bank A gambler in a casino And the dead man in jail This air of mystery This fog of complexity Death in sticks Suicide in packs Choice limited by your issues Freedom hampered By coughs and the sense of smell But there is this moment And there is this space Where there is just space And nothing matters Because nothing exists And you can ignore the tar in your lungs And the smell on your clothes And hands And hair You can ignore the frostbitten fingers The shaking limbs The futility of a lighter in the wind Because in that one moment It’s not about what you did Or’ve done It’s about that moment And about the feeling Of knowing nothing at all matters It is a Zen garden With rocks and sand And Coy swimming about in empty circles It is a forest of solitude Of green And brown Of br...

I am...I don't know. My head is...I don't know. There's a whole mess of I-don't-know running through my brain. The heater keeps turning on and I want to kill it. But I don't want to get up. That wasn't what I wanted to say. That wasn't the thing inside my head trying to get out. And yet it appeared anyway. I felt high last night, humming at the foot of my bed as I played a game, listening to a random mix of songs I'd already approved. Songs that have been running through my mind since my obsession with hearing them began some several weeks ago. The world felt nice around me. Quiet and dark. I felt alone. I felt that feeling when you ask to be left alone and people listen and comply without the implication that "are you upset about something?" or are being anti-social. Who could blame us, though? The social of the world sucks. How dare you shut down your mind? How dare you think the thoughts that are your own? Where was I going? Wh...

The Space that Fills the Time

I see myself through frosted glass A sensation not mirrored by the truth of the image I see myself something I am not Skilled beyond measure, I marvel when I fail Whose image have I taped to the twisted window that I fool myself so well? When the turning goes quick enough, when murky water clears, I shall throw myself free I wear the tension in my neck, a yolk for the oxen to struggle through the field I have tilled here And I have failed as well My disconnected thoughts have joined forces They smother me at night with a hypoallergenic pillow The simple thing that chains them here The guilt or The obligation Or any of many, minute causes I may not have ever told you But it didn’t mean you could never ask I live without meaning No, beyond this obsession with personal purpose I live without meaning Confession of depression A sin I cannot help My mind seeks to stretch my body to a point it will not go A wave pinned upon the sand I could, I think I could cut my head open to let it go I see...
