My Psalm

My teeth are bleeding, my fingernails fall away
Why must you chastise me, why must you show disdain
I don’t fucking owe you, I don’t fucking know you
Yet you continue to inflict such great pain
Deep within my mindset, far beyond what is real
The catechism which is my life fails to heal
The tree upon which I’ve been placed
Has continued to grow, overshadowing my sinful face
Pray for me, cast on me your Nebuchadnezzar
I am guilty of imagery, I have sinned against mankind
I have huddled myself into the hollow
Into a place where no man should find
I will hide here until it is over
I will hide here until you have past
Then I will bear my soul to all the world
And begin my life at last.

One Last Plea

I’m broken inside, so many neurotic tendencies
I look left and I look right, distracted by inconsistency
My mind flickers twice more and my heart takes three deep breaths
I close my eyes and swallow deep within my chest
It’s the faint sounds you make when you think no one is watching
That give away your thoughts, and make you seem alive
But I know, that you cannot function normally
And that you are empty and hollow inside
I hate the sight of you, you make my stomach turn
You intentions all shine through, it’s about time you learn
That you gotta get over it, you must move on
I can’t let you drag me down; I’d much rather live life alone.
