We Done Lost Our Minds

Okay ya’ll. I haven’t written an actual blog post for a looooong time. I’ve pretty much used my site for poetry, short stories, etc. But today…oh boy. Not today. Many of you are probably familiar with the dating app, Bumble. If you aren’t, here’s a quick crash course: Tinder, but yellow. Just kidding; basically Bumble … More We Done Lost Our Minds

Conscience

Things we think we know are true The life we live, both me and you So often isn’t candid truth I say to this confession booth What rules are right? What rules are wrong? What lyrics tell A moral song? These questions, see, exist to ask Just what, in life, is our great task? To … More Conscience

It’s Simple; See

At times, we others seem to feel That things are different, things aren’t real Our jaded eyes begin to tire And sink into a darkened spire Ideas meander, as dream creates Strange beasts our mind imagine-ates Our thoughts are anchored, ball and chain And dragged into this nether plane Amidst the silence, amidst the black … More It’s Simple; See

Nether Plane

The Nether Plane At times, we others seem to feel That things are different, things aren’t real Our jaded eyes begin to tire And sink into a darkened spire Ideas meander, as dream creates Strange beasts our mind imagine-ates Our thoughts are anchored, ball and chain And dragged into this nether plane Amidst the silence, … More Nether Plane

Pain

Try to focus elsewhere Than the hurt that’s in my vein I’m cheating on the healing For I’m sleeping with the pain I want it gone tomorrow But tonight I need the strain It captivates, it motivates It keeps me in this lane What would I be without it? Would I be the same? Continue … More Pain
