What did you say? Laughter bursting
This elated feeling euphoric in style
Transforms emotions into a smile
Bubbly resonance erupts from within
Leaving less of a smile but a shit eating grin
There is a secret I keep a joke so to speak.
If I shared with you then its not mine to keep.
So you’re gonna just have to wonder
that’s all you can do.
Whether the joke is on me or the joke is on you~

Smeared dullness
Catatonic stare
That’s what they think
Washed out color
Long halls painted grey
Not a door insight
Ideas out of focus
Stifling, confusing
Lack luster, incredulous
emotions …….Clawing away the life fingers scraping their nails jagged and bloody, threads unravelling.. like the sound of a chalk board being scratched.
That’s what stigma, bias does isolates you.
Yet I exist Wrapped inside this cocoon~
Generic and uncategorized yet longing to be labeled and in a category ~ oh wait, I am… I fall under stigma mental illness under my skin, unseen yet relentless in my mind there are millions of my kind.
One size fits all as long as that size is extra large as to swallow my frame,as well as yours.
Swallowing my existence whole~
Preferably invisible~
Left unseen~
To myself~
Designated ~
As is~NJM

I’m in the grey…….
Grey Chasm swallows
I’m in the grey it’s where I’ll stay for now
I will not attempt to move quickly
Nor will I be rushed
Do I fascinate?
Do I invoke fear? Hate?
Perfectly negate?
Am I your guilty pleasure…
Is there no distance yet to measure?
I’ll create my walls
Build my tower strong
Brick by brick no matter how long
Exterior crusted over with
Innuendos and regret
I’m in the grey
I will not be pulled away
In this Chasm I will stay
Until I decide, until that day
You can not reach me… There is no definitive here
No truth or lie
If I want to stay until I die
It’s then a matter of choice
The beauty of my grey instilled in me a voice
Slowly it drips…..spill forth from my lips
Turning my words to black and white
Finally to distinguish which is wrong and which is right
But I shall not take flight oh no, I will move slowly with precision
At the end of the day it’s my decision
For now I’m in the grey area
Safely in my tower, walls erected
While my thoughts become collective
Selective
In the grey
Words pour out spinning in my mind
Words emptied spilling
Letters jumbled
Speech of madness
Little bits of heaven scattered
All about
Smeared with indifference
Rejection and doubt
Reaching deeply
These wholes in my heart
This pain in my chest
I am starting to wonder
Where is my rest
From the thoughts, hopes
Dreams, now it’s all crying broken
Wounds scream
Still we linger
Trust you’re not letting go
It’s the feeling in my gut
The calling of my name
Summoning me from time to time
To play these awful games
Day in and out
You will always think of me
Deep beyond my rejected soul
I’m always the best you’ll ever see
It’s me that lives deep in your head my voice in your mind
You’ll never let go but trust you Will run out of time
Oh battered soul, beaten heart
Gathering the important parts
Trying to bury the bones
Sweet dignity oh blessed be
To think you walked away
Truth be told you never left
I lingered too~

~It’s the nuggets of wisdom that fall from my mind, it’s the words that escape you I somehow find~
Loneliness
A feeling so singular
A despair that numbs
No one around you
No where for them to come
Much less would you run if they did
Who can you trust
In this life you have to have one
At least they say it’s a must
Don’t believe them
There is……
A home that is lost
Friends walk away
Seems in this life
Nothing will stay
Alone
In silence
Able to just think
To sink
Downward
Into the pits of ominous clouds
Thoughts of a past screams out loud
People who loved you
Lied
None kept
All I can feel
Is completely inept
A fear that grips
A suffering so real
That all you have left
Is no way to feel
But alone~
Selling yourself short Going to lengths~
Settling~
for something less~
Find your value~
Know your worth~
Never sell yourself short~
Don’t sell out~
In the end
It’s you that will lose
Selling yourself short
Giving…..
Settling
With no return
What did you give?
What is your worth?
Do you sell yourself short?
Do you feel unworthy?
Are you unaware of yourself worth?
Yourself worth is your dreams, prayers, hopes, desires, goals that is what determines your self worth.
When accepting less than that you’re selling yourself short. You’re settling.
Suppose this happens to most of us at one time or another.
Standing your ground in what you believe is part of yourself worth.
Believing in yourself worth to the point that anything less than that which you desire, you will wait,
Knowing that by standing your ground in your belief……that what was designed and destined to be is going to come to pass.
However on the twist bipolar
Dark thought, perhaps this world is not to par with yourself worth, what of this then…..hmmm dark yet still thoughts to ponder.
Anyhow the point is clear….wait if you must strive for your goal and do not sell yourself short.
Never settle!
Purge~
Trying to get the filth off
Within and without
Mind filled with sickening doubt
Walking in circles
Looking for miracles
None have yet manifested
You’re disconcerting
Deception braking connection
Indifference is contagious
Contagious and you’re attitude
Outrageous
Purge
Fighting the urge
To reach out
Yet again
Only to be sickened
By pathogens
Treacherous intent
Your Atoms and neutrons
Electrons spin in swirl
Protons completely out of this world
Yet…….from distance
Mixing within me
I can see
Sickened by your previous deception
Giving birth
bitter conception
To your evil heart vicious
And I’ll always be suspicious
Of why you chose me
Was your vision clouded?
What? You couldn’t see
What a beautiful heart beneath this flesh beating barely in my chest…….
Stop! I’m not returning!
I’m purging you out
Being sure
I stay pure
In heart
Holding this life together
Because you tore it apart
I’ll purge all the urge
To never get close to you again~
