Nothing In Common (Chapters 7 & 8) unedited

Chapter 7: Learning To Share

At St Thomas Of Villanova Grade School we learned how to share. We had shared desks, shared inkwells, shared coatrooms, and no individual lockers. Any valuables that we did have were out in the open and under the...

Rhyme rhyme.

Eat cardboard.

No, really.

I used to do it when I was severely mentally ill and depressed as fuck.

Fills you up, passes easily, and doesn’t make you fat.

Welcome to “ANOREXIA WHILST CHEWING”.

Nearly killed me, but I looked hot as...

DON'T

Don’t

Don’t look back,
Take the forward track,
There’s tragedies far worse.
In the news
Someone’s paid his dues,
Ending up in a hearse.

Don’t look down,
Get rid of that frown,
Fighting spirits emerge.
When compared,
To a problem...

Healing Faith...Step 2

Faith is a key to successfully working the second step. For some of us faith comes easily. For others, especially if we have experienced betrayal, it may be more difficult. Sometimes we must exhaust all of our own resources in trying to overcome...

Human Weakness

No more than sounds on the glass,
The rain insists and overcomes the broadcast,
So much pain to arrest the focus on,
To unfocus from the clearance of the sky.

No more than touching dusty gold,
No value understood from senses,
Please...

An Artist's Art

An artist's art; only this time, the art is the artist
He pours his soul into creating this art
That has the power to please
The eyes, souls and hearts of men

His sweat and blood mix with the paint and clay
And so, he toils day and...

Until the heavens open

Until the heavens open


Under the morning light and my eyes peak open
Nobody is there beside me again
Tonights dream was the same as the last
I always seem to be searching for what I can't have
Long and hard I have been searching for...

The oak tree and little boy.

The oak tree and the little boy.

I sat down and spoke to the oak tree. We were young and green. We talked about growing things, the wind, water, and weather. As I grew older, the oak tree grew so high. Now it spoke of newer things: the clouds,...

Savage

She’s a savage she don’t take no mess.
She’s a savage.
She’s an animal in bed.

She’s a savage.
She’ll put a man to the test.


 She don’t take no mess.
She comes off like a sock to the chest.

Don’t test her strength.
She’s as strong as...

Intrusive Thoughts

we're together, we're such a cute couple
imagining myself alone is now a struggle
you take us on adventures from here to there
making plans for us together with flair
I can't imagine losing another year of my youth.

comedies are great...

Never

I've never known love
Except from Jesus above
Human beings all they do is lie
Except for Africa who does not make me cry
And doesn't make me want to stop staying alive
America and Americans have showed me vinegar instead of honey
And America...

Don't ask me to be wedlocked.

Don't ask me to be wedlocked.

Don't ask me to be wedlocked.
It will mitigate my love fever
and i'll feel the love,far.

Don't ask me to be wedlocked.
This is only an earthly bondage
which will keep you and me in a small cage.

We will...
