To control the population’s growing emotional epidemic the government cultivates a vaccine that handicaps the brain’s ability to process emotion. In a fight to feel a rebellion forms below the city where drugs are now emotions and the body count keeps rising.

Manic
The shrink told me the bad things would go away. That it was just hormones mixed with a being dealt a bad hand and that I would be okay so long as I got out in one piece.I held on to that for a long time, believing that one day I'd grow up and be … Continue reading Manic
Eye Of The Storm
We are standing in the eye of the storm but don't look up, you must conform.Comfortable, blind, naive to the long building destruction that will soon concede. A wound in our humanity, infected and leaking out puss, but they'll tell you not to fuss. Split in half by red and blue, this country is far … Continue reading Eye Of The Storm
Identity Theft
I hate to say it but I miss the old days, been fighting the urge to cope through my old ways. Pain used to be my favorite poison but lately I can’t seem to feel a fucking thing, meanwhile my mental health is hanging by a tiny string. Sadistic and masochistic, I long to be … Continue reading Identity Theft

I don’t understand how it got this way. A little girl with big eyes and big dreams wouldn’t recognize herself … Continue reading Blank
Stolen Jungle
We stood our ground, we sweat tears and blood. A single mother braved the unknown of a foreign country making it her own. I never appreciated her struggle until I was grown. Our future, our DNA, it all went into that land and now every day I pray I pray out stolen jungle will be … Continue reading Stolen Jungle
Wildfire
I’ve been misunderstood when I tried to be everything I could. My name, dragged through the mud and now there’s too much bad blood. I have ex’s who claim I’m cold and cruel, shallow and toxic but really my touch was just too hypnotic. I can’t sit here and play the angel when I know … Continue reading Wildfire
Dear Lover,
You ask me why I’m such a cynic, why I don’t think about our future, why I’m so cold. Because all love stories end the same, morose way. I told you from the start I didn’t believe in love, I told you my heart was out of service. You don’t listen when I say I’ve … Continue reading Dear Lover,
