Unis dolor, omnis dolor


Unstructure
 

There’s a weight in my chest

Call it depression

call it guilt spirals

call it brokenness

I hurt more than pain

Im always left longing for rest

 

And the world follows

Wherever I go

Looking in a mirror

Hope unseen

Others look at me

Their eyes familiar hollows

 

Hands in pockets meet knives

“Wouldn’t it be perfect

To get what you deserve 

A sad story

Pain is glory”

Clothes without pockets spare lives

 

You’ve seen everything here

the path is known

time to go home

find a new trail

follow it or fail

you can’t give up, no fear

 

let a light in the darkness

Another star in the sky

make them wonder why

why you have hope

who gave you love

“The sun”, saith the archivist 

 

banshee

”mommy theres a monster outside”

”i know, its the banshee”

”why does he sound like that”

”he is hurting”

”he is scaring me”

”im sorry”

 

the banshee stalks for miles

alive in his reverie

his primal song

the person walks in spirals

dead in his memory

his final wrong

 

the voice in my head

is the only course

for a dead man like me

the voice i have fed

like wolves to a horse

is a demon like me

 

The banshee gasps

His howl cut off

he drinks blood from the sky

then his voice rasps

Screaming aloft

his pain is let out. Why?

 

this is the me you will never hear

this is the me you would to good to fear

This is the me that’s not wholly me

why do i find joy in mangling my throat

why does i find joy in tangling my hope

with a demon call, guttural thrall

oceans of metal, ill scream through them all

so find me if you wish

and hear the banshee’s song

 

Pinions

i saw a dead bird on the side of the road

mangled bones, ragged feathers, battered and bloody

a hawk sat on the branches above

i collapsed and away strength flowed

i was tangled, jagged, tattered and muddy

and you watched me cry without love

father, why don’t you catch me in your pinions?

Yes

it doesnt really vibe with me, i don’t know why i like it so much

but i can scream and feel some sort of power over myself, like i used to not be able to and now im seeing progress, proficiency. Plus thats not like a socially appropriate thing usually so it feels good when im alone and get to do those vocals in those songs i love

but also because ive learned the wrong kind by accident, i dont sound like myself, so its both incredibly freeing and empowering but also kind of… the only word that comes to my sleep deprived mind is dysphoric, idk. 

one of my favorite screamy lyrics songs has very much helped with venting loneliness (yes, loneliness) 

i quote: “i see the gods avert their gaze from me, my broken form is but a wreck beneath them, and there are always people i can count on, its all so easy for me”

being able to scream that with all my heart helped contextualize my pain next to someone who has gone through much more than me, and really helped me feel hope over it
