Differential Settlement

May 20th, 2025

I’m deconstructing a house
Removing every layer and brick 
Searching for the foundation beneath
Causing everything to unstick
Figuring it out now  
The house was built wrong
Remodeling or changing tenants
Wasn’t the problem all along
Because that first layer
Didn’t know how to stay
With every earthquake
It just chips away
So I need to start over
Uncover the mystery 
Thirty-two years 
Holds a lot of history

Before I Die

March 9th, 2024

Trying to figure out my life
I feel caught in the middle
But in the universe
I feel so little
I’m lost in the flow
Life is a vicious cycle
At the end of it all
There’s no chance of survival
We all face our own problems
Mine feel so small
But when they consume me
I’m feeling it all
I know that in the end
We’re all going to die
I just hope I find happiness
Before I have to say goodbye

The Deceiver

March 6th, 2024

I was starting to hate myself
Feeling like you made me a paramour
At one time I thought that I knew you
But you left the truth behind locked doors
I don’t understand how you can’t stomach coffee
But you can stomach cheating on your girlfriend
Or how you failed to mention her for over a year
Leaving what happened with this bitter end
Was she the girl I saw you with last summer
When you said it was your friend from out of town
How long did you premeditate cheating
Did you hope I’d eventually come around 
This is the last time that I’ll lower my standards
You’re not attractive enough to treat people this way 
Someone needs to put you in your place
How many women did you betray
Now there’s a new girl that you’re dating
And I think you really deserve each other
Because she knew that I was seeing you
When she took you under her covers
Did she know about your girlfriend too
Did she just not care like she didn’t about me
What does she think about the fact
That you still watch all of my stories
I deleted you from social media
But you followed my public profile again
It’s clear that I want nothing to do with you
So why do you still watch them
I now know that I was never the problem
It’s people like you who act without consequence
I hope one day you get your karma
And you’re caught with no defense
