Ill-Lyricist

A while back, I sat down, pen in hand, to try and write a rap for the first time in my life. I thought it came out prreeeetttttyyy sick. How do I sell this to a rapper? I need money – I am a grad student after all. 🙂 Exigency of this epiphany Volatility to […]

Legacy of the Goat

Screaming in the blackness Another fucked up canvas Thrown out the broken window Dropped another pastel Shaky hands from farewells Another fucked up evening Picking up the memories Trying to steady on shaky knees Collapsing on the bathroom floor Sobbing in the darkness Tears tarnish the artless Another fucked up goodbye

Stone

Is it goodbye for now? or goodbye for good? I am not the person I was before and I am not the person I was yesterday The confidence I had in myself is shattered shredded apart by deceit and lies of others who claimed some monk-like innocence but were wickedness in disguise I’ll never be […]

We danced among volcanoes, and danced in the river You were naturally the taker, and I…the giver […]

A Heavy-Hearted Goodbye

These word I could not speak. Of letting you go. The path you chose destroys. And you drown in the toxic waste. Only to be reborn in hope with the next lie. These words I could not speak. Of my broken heart. For I thought of eternity. When she thinks only of herself. And only […]
