the evolution of a villain ( part 1 )

wings 
broken, mangled
tangled in with hopeless dreams
mind twisted beyond recognition
gone is the soul once alive and free
caged by rage 
and deeper
sorrow
shattered irrevocably
broken on the floor 
stitches slowly forming
from miss-led hatred 
and dishonesty 
a fallen angel
once sweet and kind 
now hardened
from the hurt
cast upon the floor
are the halo and wings of white
horns of spite 
and a winding tail of relentless glares
the innocence has left these eyes
there is only evil here.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
