I will live in spite of you;
pull my oars one by one,
water churning the miles gone.
Squint my eyes,
suck back my tears -
Use my metacortex
to combat these fears
'cause fuck! biting the bullet -
I will make that bullet my gem.
Hold tight to my ration,
my reason,
my rationality -
my ship floating in the
dark sea you left me.
I spit the salt
'cause I know these rains -
I will weather this storm.
Take my dry bones and
treat them like the sticks they are -
rubrubrub until they spark;
Use the fire to light the waves,
tired of waiting on "break of day" -
I will be my own sun;
craft my own moon;
sail past the edge
of your survival horizon.
Chart stars you can't dream of,
reach shores you can't see 'cause,
coasting in doldrums is blind -
I see through the hardest lesson of all;
I am never just one.

STORM
You threaten, "You won't do it."
Lightning flashes across my mind:
The storm is coming.
Fearful tears blur my vision.
Lightning flashes across my mind,
Filling me with defiance.
Angry tears blur my vision.
Rain pelts down around us,
Filling me with defiance.
Your threats are harmless, like wisps of cloud.
Rain pelts down around us.
Thunder fills your voice, but
Your threats are harmless, like the rain.
You watch storm clouds gather in my eyes.
Thunder fills your voice, but
I turn away unafraid.
You watch storm clouds gather overhead.
You say, "You won't do it."
I walk away, unafraid:
The storm is coming.

Post Traumatic Storm Disorder
Wake up every morning to snow.
A blanket so graceful, inviting sleep,
Just a rest in bliss forevermore:
Full of nightmares from which you shall wake up no more
Watch yourself smothered as if a lobotomized man under a pillow,
Crushed under an infinite blizzard death becomes pleasure,
Even while demons haunt you in hell,
You'll beg an end to the storm just so as to shrivel in your cell
Did you ever give permission to this storm of noise?
The snow is but a symptom; sleep an effect,
The storm is baked based on one defect,
Based on the fact your life automatically provides permission for everything it destroys
It is done, hurricane finished an

i'm sick
i knew infectious diseases to have statistics, medication and survival rates
not quaky lungs, thick eyelashes and calloused fingers
i expected a rash or a popped blood vessel or abdominal pain
but i got bumper car thoughts and feelings with spikes
i did get trouble breathing, a headache and sore feet
but i think that's from holding my breath, following untamed solutions and chasing after you again
i also got pain
and i reckon this kind is out of morphine's expertise
but i don't know if that's a symptom
or a long term side effect from all the ways i tried to save you
maybe the statistics are all the times i mistook you as a cure
and all the t
