After I sat for years and years
in my own brain stew,
I could so easily absorb your energy-
forget myself, and hate you

I only care to thank you.

Your tongue-be-damned-smirks
Sinister hush-hush
Your psycho-circus alluring-quirks
Drama pit rush-rush

Carried on and on, truth be told;
You never made a lick of sense
A lost soul who doesn’t dare decide,
fucking ‘em all on the fence

You branded me DEAD and
vultures sure circled in my sky
But the sun burst me into flames
as my nightmare was clarified...

Just another plastic heart, sent
and fresh off the assembly line
Karma may be a bitch but she cheers
for me as we drink elderberry wine

Bored with the shade of boy toys
I now want the tree with deep roots
After you highlighted my wings,
I could take off my heavy boots

I only want to thank you. Cheers.

(Blows kiss)

I accept your Darkness,
darling, and never my defeat
How could I ever hate ‘The One’
who lifted me up off my feet?

Welcome to our musical therapy session titled "Being a Person is a Nightmare". The song basically dissects anxiety and future angst. It describes how our mere existence can be overwhelming and why first world problems are problems, too.

BEING A PERSON IS A NIGHTMARE

Higher

flower & the honey-bee
flower & the honey-bee

bitter mirror show
10 year gone 
then 15
you're no teen 
their success is mean baby
you're lean baby

feeling stagnant 
stuck 
outta luck
and charlatan time 
to steal your dime 
and worse the dream baby 
your dream baby 

yeah you was used
but in the end
it's on you son

you was abused
but in the end
you knew but wouldn't bend
you saw but didn't run

desperate vampires 
palms up 
smiling
praise on 
prey on 
to drain on 
lay claim on 
your heart  

that genesis place 
of pure and rush
of chills when you blush
and after your can
of ¿you-who? is crushed
then what?

yeah you was used
but in the end
it's on you son

you was abused
but in the end
mama said what makes a friend
but the monkey weighed a ton

Casey Renee Kiser's work (a.k.a. snail viXen) closely examines mainstream’s distorted ideas of beauty.
Always quirky and armed with bold confessional dynamite, her humor is uncompromising, often abrupt and unsettling. Her poems explore identity, emotional abuse, and healing within complicated relationships. She resides in a magical place called The Crystal Garden. Come on over, we have cookies ;) and healing, through dark poetry.
🖤At RaVenGhost Press, 
we work w/ the Darkness <

We say, Tell your story. 
Get it all out then,  let it go!
Don't take it with you. 
It's too heavy to carry up the mountain.

( or the mushroom, if you're a snail ;)

I don't perfect my songs. They are art the way they come out. They are about the lyrics, not perfection.
