Poems of the Rill.
I'm sedated,
Tired,
My eyes are slumped.
...I'm sedated, my heart is tucked.
And you're welcome.
I was a problem earlier.
I was a lion.
I was Red;
I threw hands with my bag,
Skinned my knuckles for an hour.
And the Lion has been shot,
I'm sedated; tired; out.
The man-beast has been tranqed.
The problem is sleeping;
His Pride tucked in his waistband.
…
Let's keep it such a way.
S,17,23.
Slept so good,
Somber
Soft as baby dreams,
Perfections within imaginative
Bedrooms - Beds of down
Goosedawn
cradles me to sleep.
Perfect
Little
Perfections ,
Today will be
Wonder .
Full of it, I swear.

Not hard to apologize. Just apologize.
...You raised your hand to hit me,
And you did,
Then you punched me.
I asked for you
To Just
Say
Sorry…
You didn't.
You were angry.
How do you think I feel?
Feels like I'm trying too hard,
Feels like you aren't trying at all.
Feelings like you feel right,
Feel like I'm wrong, I'm always wrong.
I'm always apologizing,
You're always angry,
I'm always depressed,
Yet
Yet- you don't want to hear about it,
I'll listen to you, I'll listen
To the same shit,
Your same anger,
Over nearly nothings, nearly nothings -
And here I am,
Only this time
I'm
Not listening -
I am the issue.
And you hit me with two blows,
The pain they caused is irrelevant,
What isn't,
Is
The lack of apology.
It was so unnecessary.
That's what hurt darling -
What hurt was
How
...little
You managed to care.
How little. I am.
So little. I am…
S, 21, 23.
You people don't care whats going on
In side m y he ad ,
Doesnt matter anyway.

Bugs tickle my mind,
Earthworms scream songs of silence,
Speak thy voice,
Mind O' trembling,
Trombone pumps out a tune of classic America,
Here we come to rest.
Come to rest at last.
S, 25, 23.
What has my life come to?
I race there for pussy,
Middle of the morning,
Rain comes down pour,
I fail to succeed
3 times her climax,
I am dead inside
As I shower in hers,
Wash away stink,
Wash away disgust
What has my life come to?
What is this all for?
.Cucumber Watermelon Soap.
I walk to school
Mid-rain
Questioning my life decisions
My poor life decisions…
I rush tears of failed sobriety

Days of the old.

i remember building tracks
In the Dirt for our hot wheels,
i remember making swords
Out of sticks ,
i remember those lo.ong
fucking summers
and the longer winter breaks ,
and those long walks home
after the third grade ,

i remember wanting to run away,
i remember never being scared,
Now I'm always scared,
i remember when I didn't care,
Or always cared,
Now I'm neither -
i remember running that play,
breaking my arm,
I didn't cry - cursed like a sailor though.
i remember when
it would rain and
i'd be so excited.
I remember when I saw
The lightning
And being joyous
Like the kid- the kid
i was .
i remember being so
Excited
For that first home .
i remember being
Excited for Christmas.
i remember waiting
For Santa.
i remember hanging
Up those lights,
and putting on that star ,
and watering that tree.e.

Hippopotamus dreams
Clash

rhinoceros ‘nightmares.
Knuckles, titanium;
shed blood, before tears.
Thoughts like

Mind clogged with sawdust; industrial campaigns.
What was my name again? Sorry.
Forgetfulness-like-Envy .
Tobacco

NAuseous swamps of lie lie lie.
Angst tickles organs like the harpist.
Fear like smoke climbs from the organ pipes.
The play ceases *
There was hibiscus; hibiscus no longer.
Hibiscus no longer …
Bury me with them; the earthworms.

Your torturous boredom is comedic to me.
No need to upset you.
I have already done so
To my self.
The world annoys me so -
Annoys me more
Than truly anything

Can do to me.
Fuck it all. Let it burn.
In all honesty,
The General Mechanics

Incorrect

Of things.
