Brandon J. Moore

I am alone.
Like really really alone.
No female to bring me a drink.
Or tell me I'm doing good.
...

Tired of being weighed down in this spiritually exhausting place forced to keep this plastered smile upon my face.

I don't want to be here.
...

Let's fall in love.
Simply.
Me for you.
And you for me.
...

I'm entangled
Like a jungle
Like a maze
Daring to find my way out
...

The only way to understand a man's complexity
Is to read his poems
Is to study his books
And to live with him
...

Everyone's trying to escape the village.
Yet I'm thinking I should return
And seeing the same faces every day.
The same people.
...

Go to work, pride, come home, hide.
Go to work, pride, come home, hide.
Go to work, pride, come home, hide.
Go to work, pride, come home, hide.
...

I'm a zombie
In a live man's body
Looking out
Reeled up.
...

Living...
If that's what you would call it
Hard
The only word constantly repeating
...

Something about sitting in church
Something about sitting in a chair
Doesn't sit right with me...
I think we should be sitting on the broken edge of some brick
...

Lost in the archives of self
Recording history
Through a flawed mind
Tainted by
...

Try having no one
Try submerging yourself
Not coming up for breath
For hours at a time
...

Women have abandoned womanhood.
But nobody can talk about it.
You were the glue that grounded us in these four walls.
That kept us sane.
...

The end times are here
Be of good cheer, for the Lord has brought you here.
There’s only one path to peace
There’s only one path to security
...

I'm getting closer
In a prophets community
There are no lights
Or so I thought
...
