Warped and Twisted
Harsh words and violent blows.
Hidden secrets nobody knows.
Eyes are open, hands are fisted.
Deep inside I’m warped and twisted.


So many tricks and so many lies.
Too many when’s and too many whys.
Nobody is special, nobody is gifted.
I’m just me, warped and twisted.


Sleeping awake and chocking on a dream.
Listening loudly to a silent scream.
Call my mind, the number isn’t listed.
Lost in someone, so warped and twisted.


On my knees, alive but dead.
Look at the invisible blood I have bled.
I’m not gone, my mind has drifted.
Don’t expect much, I’m warped and twisted.


Burnt out, wasted, and hollow.
Today is just yesterday’s tomorrow.
The sun died out; the ashes sifted.
I’m still here warped and twisted.

    The Price of Survival

    Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal exposed a world already devouring its poor. Centuries later, the feast continues—more civilized, more hidden, but no less cruel. The Price of Survival reflects on satire, power, and the grotesque truths we live, turning grief and silence into resistance through the act of writing.

  • Rage, Acceptance, and the Light

    Rage, Acceptance, and the Light

    Dylan Thomas’s Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night demands defiance against death, yet it raises a paradox: is it better to rage or to accept? This reflection explores Thomas’s urgency, the ethics of resistance, and how Poetic Bipolar Mind embodies both rebellion and peace in the face of mortality.
