I Think You’re Crazy,

Just Like Me.

“Joker” dancing to Gnarls Barkley “Crazy” on YouTube

I do remember when I lost my mind

I remember the place

It was easier to just be me

Stop trying to be somebody you are not

The Road To Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

What are my intentions

Apparently they don’t matter much

I have tried to make my peace with everybody, but honestly, a lot of people are just fucking fake

Quite frankly your lack of a voice repulses me

I have my friends on Medium

They back me

Even when they don’t agree

That is strength

I know a lot of you don’t really like me

The train wreck who gets the attention

Ugh oh time for an intervention

“Now Kira we all love you so much, in your condescending tones.”

Go on Slack App and leave me the fuck alone

So yes I’m going to be Self Righteous

I pity the people that talk about others

Divide us more sisters and brothers

I have changed my mind from my previous view

Before I would have carried you

Come meet me on my Liar’s Chair

I sure would love you to show your true colours there

That won’t happen you might not be liked by others

Why is it so hard to be yourself?

I see the masks when you are somebody else

You see it’s easy to write a beautiful poem and go namaste your bullshit and leave me alone

Stalk my page like I was famous

Make sure you don’t read it

The Gorgeous Mess is Dangerous

You might get a bad reputation

News Flash

You’re listening to the wrong station

Oh, my love, you understand me

I’m not looking for advice

Don’t Give Me Any

I have met the Devil himself

Sold my soul to him and became somebody else

That’s why I couldn’t believe God had saved me

Overdosed must have been dead

Woke up a needle in my arm

Two days later

Forehead on my Pottery Barn Coffee Table

Crawled to the Bathroom

I’m unstable

Thank you, Jesus, for Renewing My Soul

You know it’s okay to lose control

Jesus chose his apostles wisely

The broken man will understand his advisory

I try to help everybody

I’m human too

Nobody tries for me

That’s okay I give myself up

To Jesus

Now he is in control

My soul is his for the taking

No longer will I be forsaken

Maybe now you will listen

Have to be an asshole to get your attention

To my friends, I don’t need to name you

God forbid others to defame you

Guilty by association

That’s okay I just finished Revelations

Time for the Mess to lose her mind

I have let Go

It is heaven I find

Please oh please if you don’t understand me

You can take my place on the liar’s chair I no longer have to meet you there

I am free to speak my mind

I love equally, but will not beg

Make a decision

To your inner voice, you should listen

Don’t be afraid to share who you are

This is what makes you become your own star

Shine the brightest for yourself

I’m done taking on the load of everybody else

Thank you for listening

This was cathartic

Misguided souls come to meet me and we will talk

I am here for the honest and the wise

All the others be careful your planning your own demise

My name means the Sun Rising

In the shadows, you will not find me hiding

I am love and I am light

If the broken man needs love

It would be my delight

“Kyrie Eleison” tattooed upon my arm with the Lord’s Protection

God is with me Always

Your the one who needs the intervention

Peace out. I’m done.

I had to write this as I see so much fake ness. I walk with no mask. I wish you to do the same. I pray for everybody every night. At least I know who I am and live only for the light.

Be careful to trust the Music of the Night.

Kira Dawn The Gorgeous Mess.
