Being dead used to be like being alive to me.
I knew it exists.
But I’ve never seen it
firsthand.
And now that I have,
I wished that I could’ve experienced it
sooner,
The moment I was born
just to feel, all of it
as a whole.
Just to soak in,
the feeling of being,
dead.
Again, again and again.
Every single fucking day.
Because right now,
The feeling of being,
dead,
covered in red,
with every thought I never knew existed,
has killed,
all my motivations,
of being,
alive.
And if you thought,
this poem was about death,
you’re wrong.
Because to know how I’m feeling,
right now,
you have to change the word dead,
with al
there was a boy
all perfect, clueless and obedient
he was

and all that wasn’t his
everyday
there was a boy
all undefined, shy and timid
he was
always tried to do everything right
but they still hurt him again, again
everyday
there was a boy
all weak, devastated and broken
he was
laid on the bathroom floor blue
questioned everything he had once known
everyday
there is a boy
all perfectly imperfect just the way they wanted him to be
he is
as he pulls out his belt
he stares into the eyes of withering innocence

Make your poem suffer,
it needs to know how you feel.
And if it doesn't, your poem is ignorant.
Gouge the pen deep within it, until bloody ink stains through.
Write very hard
so your poem can feel your scars.
If you crinkle the corners,
good;
it needs to have broken tattered bones.
Feeling exhausted before your done.
Do not share or post your poem so soon,
for it needs to feel rejection.
Most important, before it dies.
Never..
Clean it's wounds, or tape its rips,
do no accept forgiveness..
As your poem dies, you'll be surprised.
Your dead withered poem,
has found
new life.

Little Boy Bleeding
There once was a boy who lived without joy,
His friends called him 'Little Boy Bleeding',
When they'd go to the park he'd sit home in the dark,
Under a red light, reading.
'What's he reading?' They'd ask as he embarked on his task,
And he'd say, 'Guys my heart needs feeding.
I sit in my flat to see where I'm at,
'Cos sometimes my feelings need heeding.'
But what was he reading, this Little Boy Bleeding,
Was it Shakespeare, Shelley or Poe?
And what was he heeding while his heart was feeding,
Keenan, Yorke or Simone?
The medium he took was alas not a book,
Or a poem or play now we know,
For slowly we learned t

Do not assume (if I hold the door for you),
that I am making a statement
about your inabilities
to open the door for yourself.
If you hold it for me,
I'll say 'thankyou'.
Do not assume (if I pay for the meal),
that I am underestimating
your earning capacity
as a woman.
If you invite me out for a meal,
you're paying.
Do not assume (if I defend your rights),
that I am belittling
the attempts that you have made
to defend your rights yourself.
If you defend my rights,
I'll consider you human.
