4. I am not pretty

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
Here I am just kneeling
Staring at the ceiling
Praying to God for some healing
Here I am just kneeling

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
Here I am just sitting
With an image that is splitting
My flaws I am admitting
Here I am just sitting

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
Here I am just standing
With a visage so demanding
My looks like such a branding
Here I am just standing

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
Here I am just waking
In my soul there is an aching
Now my confidence is breaking
Here I am just waking

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
Here I am just seeing
From the truth I am not fleeing
And what I find is freeing
Finally I am seeing

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
I am just saying it aloud
Rising from beneath a shroud
I will not be cowed
I am just saying it aloud

I am not pretty
I am not pretty
I am beautiful.

I haven't posted anything on here in a very long time, but I stopped by here recently and thought what the heck.

NOLA, baby's got me

Still there, that reminder.

That blue X.

Checked 9/15 says the upper section.

To the left are the initials FWSPCA,

the right tells me 2,

and the bottom states boldly:

black lab – dead.

That’s my life.

Spelled out in four quadrants of spray paint.

My house, four empty walls, busted in windows, an unhinged door.

And I’m lucky, my neighbor is an empty lot;

a few pieces of gravel are what’s left of the foundation.

Empty lots, that’s the whole block,

and this is luck. I came back.

Back to my blue X and my dead ones.

Back to my four walls.

Back to my home.

No time to mope, that blue X sighs.

Those four walls fall to the ground,

and erected in their place is a yellow timber skeleton.

It’s joints don’t creak like the old one did, but this one breathes,

the other one was dead.

Dead like my old life,

this is a second life, a new start.

I don’t got them, but I got me.

Like I said, I’m lucky.

A Bowl of Macaroni
Hunger.
Yellow macaroni.
Glass bowl.
Fork.
Mouth.
Stomach.
Full.

unfinished.

Devil take my soul,

From my breast withdraw the whole.
Satan keep it safe,
Away from harm, away from hurt.
Satan keep it close
Stay on guard, stay alert.
Fallen angels walk with me
