• My First Therapy Session

    (This is a vent session I had with myself today. The poem after I wrote a week ago. I actually handwritten this on a concrete table with a pencil, making the handwriting a look practically illegible. I had no intentions on posting this here, I just had to let the demons out before I started crying at work of all places. My coworker actually saw me holding the note and said “That’s a-lot of writing.”)

    Recently, I have been fantasizing a lot abbot a pink-haired girl who has it all. Perfect face, perfect body, many friends, plenty money, a lifetime achievement. This is who I want to be. I’ve admittedly created this Mary Sue in my head to escape to a life that could of been. Instead, I live in reality. Pimples, bushy eyebrows, small lips, brown hair, fat, oddly built, hormonal issues, ugly feet, broke, lonely and unaccomplished. Why am I ripping into myself so hard? Well, I wish admittedly that one day I could just wake up and be in my dreams I wrote this sitting at work, a place that has great people, but has become a reminder that I long for change. Many co-workers have left for better things. Things I yearn for me to see, feel, hear. I have become distant from my family, my parents love me, and I love them. But its many things they wouldn’t understand. ow fallen I have become. This started at 22, when my ex-boyfriend ghosted me out of nowhere, I then had a religious awakening which now I attribute to just feeling lonely. Like when a person experiences something traumatic and find ways to cope. Some turn to drinking, others turn to drugs, mine was writing. Something everyone claimed I was good at. I even convinced myself this. But I’m not good, good writers can translate their feelings better than anything I…

    When I got to that part above, I couldn’t finish. Something told me to stop. Maybe God, my ego, or it could be nothing. Something or somebody thinks I’m a good writer, Something or someone thinks I’m beautiful. Something or someone thinks I’m worth it.

    Or it could be nothing, life is strange like that.


    Enemy:

    I’d rather have you an enemy than a friend

    Because a friend knows nothing

    While an enemy knows everything

    You say your not against me

    I wish you wish you were, maybe I’ll actually open up

    To give you a reason to hate me

  • This Would Be In Character…If Edgar Allen Poe Wrote It.


    The not-so nursery rhyme everyone was expecting of me. Maybe I should go to Baltimore and put this on his tombstone. Funnily enough, his moment of death was two days ago (at the time of me writing this).


    The Tale Of Deborah Downs

    Deborah Downs is a girl who failed to make her mama all too proud

    Mrs.Downs didn’t make a sound

    Mr.Downs couldn’t even bother to just be around

    That’s just how life goes for Deborah Downs

    Word around town is that Deborah makes babies frown

    Since she put her own mother in the ground

    Word around town is that Deborah made the horses leap from the Merry-go-round

    As soon as she rode it, the ride broke down

    Word around town is that Deborah makes all the priests repent and bow down

    As if satan himself gave her the thorny crown

    One day, Deborah became tired of being put in the dog pound

    She was not of her name, sick of the put-downs

    So she decided she would put herself down

    Her tomb reads:

    “Here Lies Deborah Downs, Even God Can Be A Clown.”

    This was the tale of Deborah Downs


    It just sneaks up on me. A itch I just can’t scratch. Until I scratch the paper (or keyboard).
