Mindful Chaos

I sit down with legs crossed

And close my eyes.

When I open them

I’m in a whirlpool.

Images, thoughts, feelings

All swirling and spinning around me.

Utter chaos is my mind.

Weird and Confusing

So I'm Driving down the street

Drinking a beer

On my way to get some...

Oh, shit, a deer!

So I'm lying in the hospital

With a broken sternum

Thinking, "Stupid deer." I'll cook and eat 'im.

So I'm walking through the woods

Looking for a hoofprint.

I finally find, but once again, oh shit.

So I'm back in the hospital

Feeling sore as hell

When the doc walks in and says, "Well, well, well."

So three hours later I go home

Thinking what the fuck

Because the doc said 

I was bitten by a rabid duck.

So I'm walking through the woods

One more time.

When I catch that duck He's gonna die.

So I'm back in the hospital

Thinking who, how and why when the doc walks in

And says, "My, my, my."

So three days later I go home

Mad at myself Because the doc said 

I was attacked by a zombie elf.

So I'm walking through the woods

When my very sight goes black.

I open my eyes, turn my head

And there's a bald guy staring back.

So I'm lying on this couch

With zombie elves on my brain

When the shrink says, "Dude, you're insane."

Too Late

Your beauty is unimaginable

Your personality like a wildfire

But now I know the truth

Oh yes, it's harsh and dire

 

You use your beauty to your advantage

And it seems like you don't even care

For you, most guys would jump off a ledge

Because they thought you liked them, then you weren't there

 

I know how they feel

I felt the same

Thinking your feelings were real

It really is just a shame

 

How dare you think you can do this

Playing with peoples emotions

It's almost like you're a succubus

You set your target and start the motions

 

I don't know your true feelings

And I don't care

You lied to me

And everyone you've dated in the past years

 

That's all I have to say

So I'm just going to walk

Even if you have true feelings

It's too late to talk

Chemical Substance

A fart is a chemical substance.

It comes from a place called bum.

It penetrates through the trousers

And lands with a musical hum.

To fart is no disgrace

For it gives the body ease.

It warms the blanket on cold winter nights

And suffocates all the fleas.

Blissful Misery

Your birthday's come and gone now;

You are twenty years old.

Soon you'll be buying alcohol;

Just one more year to go.

I hope you get all shit-faced

And puke throughout the night.

We all know you're gonna do it

So don't deny it, you know I'm right

When you're not paying attention

I hope someone spits in your beer.

You know I'd do it myself,

But I'm stuck in here.

Be sure to take some pictures

And send them in to me.

I would love to see you

In your time of blissful misery.

A Mother's Love

A mother's love is like no other

Unconditional and lasts forever

Though I've done some things to bring me shame

Casting a shadow of doubt upon my name

You've been there when I needed you most

So for you alone I make this toast

For all my life through thick and thin

You'll be close to my heart until the end

Darkness

 As I sit here

The lights are dim

A knife in one hand

In the other is skin

The corpse on the table

Will stay until dawn

Then I'll set it on fire

A sacrifice for all

Darkness of the past

Moving towards the future

Things that never last

Living in this creature

Sanity's a bitch

Some may never know

They're gonna go insane

Just like me, forever more

Going insane, losing my mind

When she's gone, I will shine

Death is inevitable

My mind uninhabitable

As I stand here in her blood

A sudden rage hits like a flood

I must kill, I must destroy

Obliteration is my only joy
