I cannot quiet the noise in my head, Sometimes it’s despair, other times it's dread, Or it’s a constant, compulsive paranoia, Looming over head like a giant sequoia, Other times I’m raging over nothing at all, And still there are times I just feel so small. Make it stop, make it quit, Make it end, … Continue reading ScatterBrain

Doppelgänger
I have been over the mountains, the land, and seas, I infect your mind and soul like a terminal disease, I eat you up like a cancer before I spit you out, Leaving you hollowed and alone with doubt, You can’t escape, you can’t run and hide, With lingering shame you have no one to … Continue reading Doppelgänger
Shut In
Why can't I function around other human beings, Why can't I process the emotions of others I'm seeing, Why can't I stop being terrified in crowds, How come I have to hide behind shrouds, Why do I have to go off of a script to talk to someone, Why is it I have to fake … Continue reading Shut In
Giving In To Mara
I'm happy to live a life of anonymity, But left to myself I become my worst enemy, I can't control the vices to which I succumb, Or the feeling of self-hate when it is all done, These cravings and wants keep tearing me apart, And I know of the loathing before I even start, Desires … Continue reading Giving In To Mara
Love Junkie
Your love is a drug that I just can't kick, As much as I can get, you are my fix, Days spent with you are the greatest I have known, From everything you've given me and all that you have shown, With you I do everything I can, With you I want to be a … Continue reading Love Junkie
Apparition
Why can’t I hold you close to me,Why do I go unnoticed, can’t you see,Ethereal and floating, just off the floor,Passing through walls, walking through the doors,I just want to feel your warmth, I want your touch,A simple request; That’s not asking too much,What I would give for your unrequited love,Even recognition or something thereof,To … Continue reading Apparition
Falling Apart
I’ve been living life without my center for far too long, I thought sheer will would get me by, that I was strong, Just alone here with my Ego listening to my ID, While behind the mask of Super Ego I chose to hid, But I’m quickly seeing I need some emergency introspection, Or at … Continue reading Falling Apart
Extended Stay
I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to say, I don’t know how I can make you never feel this way, All your life I’ve been the one to make your problems disappear, Now I’m forced to watch you self-destruct which was my greatest fear, I’m neutered and useless to the demons … Continue reading Extended Stay
Op-Ed: Getting Started
Ok, so I guess this should have been my first post to help explain what I am doing and why I am doing it in regards to Juxtaposed To A Fault. I have been an active writer for 25 years. Whether it has been poetry, lyrics, short stories, or opinion style pieces I have had … Continue reading Op-Ed: Getting Started
Ghosts of You
Everything ended so long ago, leaving me to be alone, With nothing but memories, the only thing left to call my own, Everything you touched holds a moment, a lasting residue, I cannot get you out of my head, all I see are ghosts of you, They follow me day and night, calling to me … Continue reading Ghosts of You
