Denied of Dignity

Photo by Gelatin on Pexels.com Stripped from health and mental capabilities, yet I can function. I can cook, clean, and walk with a sense of direction, but my fears become my intuition. A power play between my anxiety, depression, and physical aliments, yet somehow it's never enough. It's never enough for those that read the big book of the American dreams of careers and job opportunities.

Empty Promises, Plenty of Grift

Photo by Sora Shimazaki on Pexels.com Sell oil to a tank only to realize the wrong ingredient to the matter. It's a hurtful process but somebody got to do it. Who wouldn't want to swim in dough, while selling a fellow man a hole in the boat? Don't blame me, blame the capitalistic nature of a broken system. It produces suckers by the minute and guess who's the manufacturer?

Uninvited Nightmare

Photo by Boys in Bristol Photography on Pexels.com It was mutual but at what cost? Losing a family, time, patience, and dedication The floor was our sanitary in the middle of the bathroom A cold shiver went down my spine While pleasure went above your temple The sounds echo like a ritual from afar Hollow walls and devious plots But deep inside we knew the assignment…
