GHOST IN MY LIFE

Where are you ghost in the night, where are you ghost in my life? Just on the otherside of every door I open, Hiding behind every notification I hear ding, Are you at the other end of a random chance encounter, Or are you someone I know but haven't truly discovered, Someone around but always … Continue reading GHOST IN MY LIFE →

Survivors Guilt

I scream into a hollow sky and get echoes only in return, I want to cauterize my feelings but those wounds are just too deep to burn, I want to make those days go away like nothing ever occurred, But my memory locks on tight and my emotions become stirred, So many faces I’ll never … Continue reading Survivors Guilt →

Pocket Change

Things changed with you at the drop of a hat, I thought we were on the same level and you left me feeling flat, I tried to get us back to where we used to be, But something in you changed that you wouldn’t let me see, It took so long for you to finally … Continue reading Pocket Change →

50 Mile Free Fall

I’m flailing and falling, I’m out of control, I let everything build up and it’s taking its toll, I wish there was someone I felt comfortable with, But it seems like with everyone I am pleading the fifth, Every goddamn day something new gets dumped on my plate, I just want to start over with … Continue reading 50 Mile Free Fall →

Silhouette

I look into your eyes and become a believer,I get lost in your glimmer and disappear in the ether,Of being alone with you in the still of the night,Nothing this deep has ever felt so right,Twisting and turning into one another,Tracing the outlines of you in a black lit cover,Knowing you like I know myself,Without … Continue reading Silhouette →

Magna Carta

Hypocrisy rules the land today, It doesn’t matter where your politics lay, A riot for one is a protest for another, Don’t speak your mind, keep your head down, take cover, It’s all fair game unless the other side commits the crime, Both sides are brainwashed and products of their time, Cancel culture driving your … Continue reading Magna Carta →

Repetition Is The Sincerest Form of Insanity

Everyday it's exactly the same, Wake, Work, Sleep, Take Blame, Why can't I seem to break this cycle and not go down the drain, Why can't I escape my mind which causes my self-worth to strain, Wasting my time Self-Diagnosing my own mental health, The difficult part is looking into yourself, And seeing the things … Continue reading Repetition Is The Sincerest Form of Insanity →

Vacancy

I can't take this lost and empty feeling anymore than you can bear the notion of a happy me, I have no one I can talk to out of misplaced versions of existentialism everywhere that I see, On every face like a stern and silent judge banging his gavel while the lawyers object, To my … Continue reading Vacancy →

Decipher

Smile lighting up my world like a supernova explosion, Given confidence through speech causing anxiety expulsion, Looking into your eyes and reading the joy within, And wanting to ask the pressing question but being hesitant to begin. What if I’m wrong, What if I read to much into a simple greeting? What if I misinterpreted … Continue reading Decipher →

Op-Ed: How My Love of Writing Began

All of this started back when I was sitting in my high school English class back 1995. We were studying poetry and were given the assignment of writing a series of poems. Now, as a product of our environment in a small town in rural Pennsylvania my friends and I did not take the assignment … Continue reading Op-Ed: How My Love of Writing Began →
