I am a murderer
But what am I to do?
My heart had powers
To love and be loved too
But things never stay
The way you want them to
Everything fades away
But pain follows you
I took the dreaded step
Smothered the red beast
Do I regret it now?
No, not in the least
I changed my hat
I moved further east
Sometimes I am haunted
By ghosts of deceased
You know who I am
I’m free from the pain
You know who I am
Swimming in the stains
I am a ghost
I can’t complain
I am a ghost
Ever and again

I Take Another Step
I am here
Now
Walking down this cold, windy street
In black leather shoes and a warm jacket
In my thoughts
However
I am climbing a wooden staircase
That reaches for the tiny dots in the violet sky
These thoughts of mine
Are mine and mine alone
Illusory to others
Concrete and palpable to me
This world is bursting with reality
Reality that only I can experience
I take another step
Both worlds are beyond my control
I do not dictate anything or anyone
I am a fraction of two wholes
I take another step
With every blink
I shift from one reality to another
A magic portal I carry
In my iris
I take another step
Which is more real I cannot say
They both appear equally true and
Equally fantastical to me
There is a fine line between the two
With every blink
The line gets blurry
I take another step
A Bright Future?
When will I improve myself? Tomorrow
When will I chase my dreams? Tomorrow
When will I be happy? Tomorrow
Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
Everything in life is suspended until that fateful day
It’s how my life is going
It’s how things are moving
It’s what I thought was right
But it’s not
It most definitely is the wrong approach because
My therapist, my astrologer and even my dog tell me that things are not going to get better for at least another ten years
