'Sickness'


Nurture choked me,
With his cold, cold hands.
And now he offers me help?!
They call me sick,
Insisting I can be, in the most
Insulting way, cured!
Cured from the illness that nurture
Gave me himself.
The ignorant gather upon their platform,
and with the authority of fallibility
tell me I am sick.

I grow tired of these words.
However: I am grateful my apparent
Sickness can be cured.
For your sickly superiority will forever
Boil in your murky blood!
Beyond cure.

Nature called upon me, and
Told me I am perfectly healthy.
And I believe him.
I believe him,
More than I believe your stupid book.

Paranoid Eyes


This is about people pretending they do not care, but really they care more than anything. A poem about being honest with yourself and reality. 

My apathy: unconvincing
At the best of times,
The realms of care, I delve beyond
And focus my eyes on elation
But:
I forget the most prized item;
Reality is easy to leave behind,
The clarity being repulsive, almost like
The truth is nauseating. So:
My spotlight is on the shadows;
Shadows of indifference,
And shadows of dispassion 
Such insensitivity nourishes the brain,
But leaves the heart deprived
This bold exterior just an imaginary
Projection
My soft interior, conspicuous
Within my  paranoid eyes.
