    I shouldn’t yearn to hold a knife, Slice it against my palm, my wrist. It’s blade, holds in it’s balance, my life. But oh God is it getting hard to resist. I have flesh and bones and skin, They don’t show others me though. My skin, that’s not mine, for it I’ll sin. In my…

  • Solitude in Mirrors

    With a bustling city of thoughts, I can never be left quite alone. On a tragic day where I realize;                                                   I am not myself, A man in the rear view mirror,            the traffic is slow. One I cannot reach— I wonder about his name,            …

  • Cricket’s

  • A Christian Nationalist Claims Trump as Their God

    Don’t trust any others. We trust only Trump. The others are liars, we trust only Trump. Just Trump knows the truth, only Trump knows all secrets. You can be too careful. Yes, your kindness is needless. Beatitudes’ weakness, it’s weakness to care. It’s weakness to give, and it’s weakness to share. You scare us. Don’t…
