Crying for Dopamine

I catch it like a dopamine
The heartache,
The sadness,
The confusion.

I catch it like a dopamine.
Addicted to it,
Laughing to it,
As I heed to it.

I catch it like a dopamine
Moping in my bed,
Cooked up on meds.
I still catch it like a dopamine.

I sit at my desk
As I struggle to type the words
Dread and uneasiness
Etched into me.
I still manage to catch it
Like a dopamine.

I fill my days
With empty eyes,
Empty words,
Empty mind.
I’m tired
Of catching the dopamine.

I fill my stomach
With hatred,
Anger,
Shame,
Grief.
And I still manage to run after the dopamine.

As I let myself be killed
Over and over
By the demons,
I still have to take the dopamine.

It keeps me sane.
It keeps me still.
I have to take the dopamine.

I don’t know why.
I don’t know how.

I take it
And prepare to die,
As days go by.

Champagne Flames and Crimson Roses

Lana Del Rey- Young and Beautiful Heavenly Father, if the road of life leads to heaven, let my lover pass through his beauty outshines this wicked world. His beauty glows, oh, it glows, like the last champagne light at the end of the party. His beauty endures as the world grows colder. And, Lord, let him be your angel, even if I am left to burn. His wings shadow the threshold of infinity. The smallest atoms of his being spill into me like holy wine, filling my soul with a redemption I will never deserve. His heart a crimson rose, opening, bleeding, a bloom that brings me to weeping. His hands, strong as steel, never rusting, yet they could shatter me like glass. And his kiss, oh Lord, his kiss burns my soul with the slow sweetness of damnation, as though my fate were already sealed in the fire that waits below. Such heavenly beauty drags me to the filthiest sins. His love, unending, makes me ache with unworthiness. like a moth unraveling in the flame, knowing I will perish, yet choosin...

I Awoke from Morpheus

you glowed and bejeweled the moonflowers, poison filled with illusory hope and serenity. and we both embraced, and we both strangled each other. we burn— oh, we burn so brightly, dear one. and yet, we turned too bright, and thus, we cascade down. no valley of flowers, no iridescent moonlight. no light, no hope— we burned into ashes. there goes my Morpheus, and so shall I cease to be. maybe in another life, we could have been. yes, we could have been. once, the light of my life, now becoming no more than a mere shadow that existed yesterday. there you go, like a dandelion, twirling away like a false prophet to one’s dreams and wishes. if only you had known how fickle words could have been, as people grow— and outgrow them. and yet, we live on, tragically, with beauty and grace.

Goat in Sheep’s Skin

I live my days in nuanced pathways going to and from what i expect myself to do, going back and forth within life, a contradicting pendulum that irrevocably pulls and fulfills me. at times, overwhelm pulls me and exhausts me, but i function, like i should in this society. but i am not a machine, i am not... however, i do what is expected of me. sometimes, thought washes over me of whether i am a person, like the person i once thought i should be. right now, i am simply exhausted. but i will wake up tomorrow and start over, because i have to, because i have to. am i normal, or do i practise normalcy? like a goat in sheep's skin, eating the same grass, walking the same pastures, and yet never really belonging, never attaching. i make no sense, do i? but yes, i function. i am functioning, just decently.
