Raised on gaslighting / and spiritual Kung-fu fighting / shadows on the wall / I called for help / Dark dreams answered the call / Darkness cradled me / and kindly raised me as its own / But when the stars came out and I fit right in / Well, my cover was blown / Raised on emotional dodgeball / Mind fucks and rusted pick-up trucks / Turn the key to my heart , it could only stall / Raised on razorblades / as they had more empathy than anyone around me / Rays of sunshine / I'd never noticed till now / It's ok, cause I found my inner child again, hey check it out / Mommy, mommy, what does sober mean? / She said, "oh,you shall never know, darling" / Why do you see me as competition? I'm twelve / Why is your fave drug making me feel invisible? / Cause, if I don't exist, that must mean I ain't gotta put up with your shit / Hey Granny, what does trauma mean? / She said, "why it's your inheritance, darling" / Why is your fave drug building me up / just to cut me down / With all that energy, you could've  built a company / where you could a been the boss of a whole lot more suckers than / just little ole' me / Was I the trophy? / My mind and my heart? / Well, yeah, that may be the only thing you got right / from the start.

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 ;)
