Spoken version of today's #vss365 - #jade

Maybe I was #jaded
Maybe I wasn't shit
Cuz no matter
How fuckin' hard I tried...
I never made it
I guess life just
Forbade it
So I took that razor -
Shiny & sharp
But still so fucking dark -
And bladed
Each cut deep
Jagged & serrated
And still
In the end
Was never sated

Spoken version of yesterday's #vss365 - #word

#GoodNight

In my time of dying
'Pon long
Belabored breath
These #words
My only comfort
An epithet 'fore death
Long gone
The time of trying
To grasp at straws be done
And in our lives of lying
We struggled neath the Sun
Now no more fight
'Tis only night
The ending has begun

#vss365

🖤🖤

Stuck inside
This fucking #loop
Ouroboros
It mocks me so
& All I really fucking know
These coils which wrap
Around my throat
Sinuous & taut as rope
Twisted knot
To choke my dreams
Strangled now
It stops my screams
To end this
Everlasting game
Whispering
Forget my name

#vss365

🫂🫂🫂

Raised up
Dreaming of the stripes & stars
But we right here
Livin' within steel & bars
Sportin' scrapes & scars
Ain't no stones & sticks
When everyday's a hustle
Movin' zips & bricks
& No magic tricks
No, that shit's for kids
The outcome death
Or doing lifetime bids

#vss365

🙏🖤🖤

We lay here
Cradled in the #hands
Of the indifferent infinite
Children eager
For meaning
But we slip away
Lost as hourglass #sand
Our moment as ephemeral
As tears in the relentless rain
Here today
Gone tomorrow

#vss365

Off to spread my own particular brand of insanity. Be good, or be good at being bad. I promise I won't tell...

Thank you, kindly. 🙏🖤

Hurt me
So damn bad
Won't hurt me
No more
Packin up my bags
Headin for
The door
Pedal to the floor
Driftin as I drive
So much pain
Can't maintain
At least I'm still alive
Toss the
Goddamn #ring
Good riddance
& Goodbye
Can't forget
The memories
Matter how hard that I try
#vss365

Haven't done one of these in a while, so here's the spoken version of yesterday's #vss365 - #pen

They say the #pen
Is mightier than
The sword
So I grabbed
That motherfucker
And went to war
But the war was lost
'Cause the words were weak
Wish I had
Dropped that pen
And had learned
To speak
Maybe then
I'd have earned
The results I seek

#vss365

🙏🖤

I bled inkdrop tears
Sobbing a soliloquy
Onto the pages
Of your indifference
Weak words
Bled into the spine
Becoming blurred & Buried

I thought I was a #man
But perhaps
I was just chapter's forgotten
To be shelved
& Blanketed
In the dust of detachment

#vss365

Thank you! 🙏🖤

Meet me on
The other side
A side where it
Won't be so grim
It doesn't matter
Me or him
One must go
We cannot grow
We shall not sow
A single seed
Nor #conduct
Sweeter symphonies
The deepest cut
I yearn to bleed
Naught but a whisper
In the breeze

#vss365

You're too kind. ♥️♥️🙏

2/2

& Joined them in
A final dance
Knowing T'was
The dance of death

#vss365

Magick lived
In secret glade
Within this glade
We met our end
Its secrets not
For mortal men
They whispered sweetly
In my ear
Were simple #sprites
T'was naught to fear
And so we smiled
& took their lead
These children of
A different breed
Upon our necks
We felt their breath

🖤🖤

She was a #tempest
A temptress
All fire & storm
From the day she was born
Draped in a sundress
Me, I wanted to undress
See, I needed to possess
But she was #illusively
Exclusively, a Goddess
So I lost my religion
Becoming Godless
And now I'm just
A broken project
Regardless

#vss365

🖤🖤

It was there
In the sky
In my heart
Luminous & warming
Home
So I reached out to it
But no matter
How hard I tried
It was always
Beyond my grasp
#Frustrated, I cried
I still cry
And yet...
I still try
