Would make you squeal like a pig

Does apathy punish?

Damn, I can't see from this distance

I'm letting you dictate the way I live

That's power, power I don't want to give

You and I are liable to fight quick

I'll disfigure you, rip out your innards

Shatter every single one of your limbs

Send you to a morgue or hospital

Deliver you to heaven or hell, see which will take you

Don't know if I can only leave you black and blue

Prove my dominance

I've constantly let you off easy, I promised

But you take my kindness for weakness

I was trying to be decent

Why do you think the family pulls you away?

For your safety and sake

I Gave You Fair Warning... Beware (21 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Walk on hot coals

In order to bring you home

Parasol over your head the entire way

The sun can be brutal

So I carry a bag of goodies

Snacks and refreshments

Pick you up and carry you the way back if need be

If the day proved tiresome

If you want to have fun

Pretend I'm Superman

Jump on my back while I dash away

Fly by people

Faster than a speeding bullet

I'd jump in front of a gun for you

Take an entire magazine

Count the shells as they drop

And keep on standing

Will only ask if you're okay

I'll regenerate

My wounds heal quickly

I've learned how to walk with a broken leg

With a torn ACL

Have had so many near death experiences and debilitating injuries I don't care to count them anymore

Let me worry about you

I'll always be fine

I always am

Finding A Small Paradise On This Hell Forsaken Earth (19 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Operating on a couple hours of sleep

As usual

Coffee is the greatest man-made invention

Mark my words

I'd be dead without it

Or a walking zombie

It helps jumpstart my day

Regulate my moods and emotions

I can wake up depressed or sleepy or grouchy

At any time

Or wake up not feeling like I'm awake

Stripping flesh from some chicken

Cold bones shock my glass hands, feel like they could break

At any second

Or shattered

Like a dropped chandelier

Use different seasonings for different chicken bones

Everyone has their particular likes and dislikes

Some like garlic

Some like lemon pepper

Some like paprika

Few ever like things plain

A pinch of salt usually puts a smile on any face

Cleaning out a washing machine

Setting out clothes to dry

A couple unmentionables

Handling what was on one's skin

Holding onto evidence of their humanity

Of their time spent

Living

Existing

Sweating

Being

Sun beams down on me

Tries to melt me

Dealing with a sprained ankle and injured foot

Might have to change how I walk

It's happened before

It was liable to happen again

Get anxious thinking about my physical shape

And the possiblity of me getting flabby

Letting my injuries dictate how I live

Making food for the household

So they can arrive carefree from their day and fill themselves

Having fun with some starburst gelatin mix

Pouring out the mix into some Hello Kitty cups

Singing to the empty air

And myself

Washing the seemingly evergrowing evergrowing dirty dishes and cups and plates and bowls and silverware

Can't leave them in the sink

And hope that someone will wash them

The pile will only be added on to

Stacked and stacked

As high as possible

The same goes for the trashcan

Thin bags break

Rip apart

And cause frustration

Cleaning the stovetop

Removing grease stains

Constantly checking our inventory to see what we all need

Don't want us to worry about having too little of something

Must shop for bundles

And have months worth of a product

Will buy in excess

No pretty head needs to get anxious over groceries or household supplies

They should just live their lives

in constant comfort

Thoughts Today (18 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

If I would have stuck by my word

You wouldn't have died

I promised I'd send some love

And support

And take care of you

And the family

But

I didn't make much of myself

And

Could barely survive on my own

Found out about you

When I arrived many years later

Our loved ones informed me

Happened years ago

Where was I?

Nowhere

As I've always been

Doing nothing

Like I always do

You grew tired of waiting on me

Your hope grew impatient

Fast money lead you to a quick death

But it was my fault

I wasn't reliable

I wasn't dependable

To Trust Is Good, But To Not Trust Is Even Better (15 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

They ask me about you

They think we're married

That's funny

As if

Our relationship is strictly coincidental

Situational

I didn't think such things

Till you sat me down

And told me: let's be frank...

And explained

Sorry

For having the wrong impression about

us

Took me about a year

or two

or three

to understand

and abide

by our

nature

You want nothing to do with me

outside of one place

10 Day Departure (14 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Video games all day and night

Frozen in time

In your very own microcosm

Separated from this very world

Yet

All happy smiles

Not a care

Not a single one

How do you do that?

Immerse yourself

Fully

Get tunnel vision

And not worry about your other obligations

Seems so self-indulgent

But also

So much fun

I could learn a thing or two

I should

Learning How To Have Fun (14 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Removing your least favorite parts of a dish

Placing them onto my plate

What a picky eater you are

It makes me laugh

How I happily accommodate you

Despite being your elder and caretaker

My Picky Eater (13 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

The last of a dying breed

When you are gone, I'll be free from experiencing misery and grief

Soon you, too, will be deceased

The entire litter of you will be complete

You are the one and only

The lonely

No longer make a sound when I come around

I have to search

Over obstacles and under

I've expressed my longing for you but it seems like you don't value my words

Will await to hear of you when you're on your deathbed

Shovel will be in hand while I bury

My conscience holds the death of you all warily

Can't find love in me or on me, it's a scarcity

Gave you my feelings like they were charity

Mooncalf (13 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

To think hands once interlocked

Our downfall comes when you begin to plot

Shouldn't have let you see me with my armor off

What you see are my scars and my flaws

Ballpoint pens scraping over paper sound like songs

Any and every available body is welcome to join

Let you put your fingers into my wounds, it feels moist

Incapable of emitting a sorrowful noise

My voice feels like a toy

Not something I should use by choice

It's been played with, squeezed, shaken

Strangulation leaves its traces

Chokeholds close a throat

If they let me breathe, they are not cold

People think they need oxygen, but they don't

The handprints over my body feel like clothes

At The Dentista (12 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Bring out the best in me

So why would I ever think about exiting?

Rest your head on my shoulder while we continue to walk forward

Us continuing is what's most important

I've never doubted

For a shred of second

Effortlessly count the many blessings you gave me

For the better you changed me

Wasn't ever your intention

Do you want what's best for me? I don't ask that question

The answer lies in your actions

The answer lies in my happiness

I'll forever stand by your side and strike down those that oppose

Don't care about what anyone thinks or assumes they know

They don't know you like I do

They don't know what I'm willing to do for you

No Exit Plan (11 August 2025)

You died, my old friend

And I was not there for you

Can I call you friend?

Made You Be Forgotten (08 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

I can never sleep

What's the point in me trying?

Why do I try to?

Insomniac (08 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Low IQ

And

EQ

They said I can't take care of myself

And that I lack all basic understanding of human emotions

Who am I to argue with doctors?

They proposed I should take life skills classes

I seemingly know nothing about life or humans or how either functions

Very much a nitwit

Sooner or later I might have to take that 500mg of Lithium

I ran away from it

I might end up taking it

Perhaps it can give birth to a more understanding person

To a better person

To a better version of myself

Destroy all the things inside me that are wrong

Tried lower dosages but they never seemed to have any affect

I've been on various medications

None ever seemed to work

Maybe the problem is me

The Cup Of Tea That You Spit Out (08 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Seem to be utterly useless

Incapacitated by a simple fall

Head bounces off the concrete

Left leg feels broken... again

Want to remain in the floor

Eyes start to twitch

Water wants to seep out

I return them to their chambers

Body and soul are ready to give up

I can't do anything right

Can't walk without injuring myself

I'm so fragile and breakable

Can't convey my pain well

Can't say how I really feel

Always say the wrong things at the worst times

Inexplicably scream in joy

Smile when asked if I'm okay

Should sew my mouth into that position

Maybe I'd be good eye candy

And not be such a sore sight

Pain isn't beautiful

I won't interrupt anyone with my troubles

I'll swallow them and let them eat through my stomach like acid

On My Last Chicken Leg (08 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Body is under constant strain

Lack of sleep and I'm overweight

Trying to force myself into shape

But I don't think I'll ever look great

Could just put all the effort away

Hate being so vain

No matter how much I lift, I have very little strength

Iron deficient, these brittle bones of mine are about to break

I am no man, I'm a human past their expiration date

Gifted a bad case of DNA

Horrible acne ate away at my face

Picking at skin, popping pimples, leaving scars that won't fade

Definitely not a pretty boy, more like part of an alien race

Muscles won't swell or engorge or show their veins

The type of person to loudly and publicly point out their own defective traits

Who would want such a mate?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww (07 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

All I want is you

Lifelong

Lying in embrace, holding one another

I always want to be there for you

Will be difficult to wave off my support

All I ask is that you please let me love you and take care of you

Now and forever

This sounds binding, huh?

It could be

Suppose it is

You and me

Ongoing

Us ushering through undiscovered utopias

All I Want Is You (06 August 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Want us chest to chest

Our bodies wrapped together

Leaving stress behind
