Why?Rights denied,
Words are lies,
My world, shattered—
Why?

I’m human,
You are too.
We’re the same—
Americans,
So where are
My rights
To shape
A free life?

Why,
Why are you
Given everything
I’m denied?
Why are your words
Superior to mine?

Just why can’t I
Go where you go
And learn
What you learn?
Why can’t I
Mimic your actions
Without fearing
The repercussions?

Why am I
Glared at
By strangers
In my life,
Spat upon,
Loathed,
For being myself?

Why am I
Cursed to live
In your shadow,
Out of sight
While you thrive
In the light
With pride?

Puffs of Smokey HazeA soul as sweet as blood red jam, with his cocaine heart stays as he prays and says the fumes amuses

Him, above from the silence the lurking puffs of smokey haze lingers in the fire of my loins, as my mind

Drifts and floats as the indulgence makes my eyes burn, as they disappear with the curse of my tears,

Blind sighted I have become to fall in the cauldron of mixed portions of love, my being dares for such a

Dreaded cleansing, for he was my other half of creeping insanity, I have succumbed to the realms of my

Dreams, but they have crept through time into my world of reality…...Puffs of Smokey Haze by *Bewildered-Scribbler

EndingsThe end is near.
I used to count down
Every year.
But this year...
My last
I simply... don't.
What changed?
Maybe....
Instead of counting to the end,
I'll count to the beginning.
When I really feel my life begins.

.44My dreams turn into nightmares when I arise,
The tears start pouring from my eyes,
I saw you and I held you only to be ripped away,
But now to start another monotonous day,
I struggle to find happiness in a dark world,
Without you in my arms I'll lay here my body curled,
All I can see is your face,
Helping to bring light to a hopeless place,
Please let me sleep forever,
All I want to do is hold her,
I close my eyes shut clutching that .44,
My tears streaming down my face hitting the floor,
Now I can be with her forever more..44 by ~billm2n

Nothing can go WrongThere was once a time I could feel
Once a time where life felt real
I felt at the time I could take the wheel
And my heart know one could steel
But there was never a time I felt strong
And all my life I sang the same song
"something will go Wrong, something will go Wrong, something will go Wrong,"
its been this way for far to long
There was once a time I could breath
I knew when it was time I would leave
But until then I wasn't free
But I have a voice, so leave me be
And still I was never alive
That's why I couldn't cry
So is this life really mine?
If I always have to hide?
And then I learned I was Wrong
During a day that was ever long
Do you remember my continues song?
"something will go Wrong, something will go Wrong..."
Well the anger in me pours
And my stolen heart roars
Nothing was ever right before
So nothing can go Wrong therefore
Nothing can go Wrong
Nothing can go Wrong
Nothing can go Wrong
This is my new songNothing can go Wrong by ~candygirl101010

Let It FadeLet the rain fall
And fall into it;
Let the rain take you away.

Away from this world;
This plain of dispair.
Let yourself fade to gray.

Disappear into the tears
Of the sky's heavenly bodies;
And let your soul fade away.

Show no fear
In your tear
And let your body rest.

Fade away,
Night and day,
'Till nothing is left.

Let the rain fall
And consume you;
Let it shield you from man.

Away from their eyes;
The glare of their stare.
Keep yourself hidden from view.

Let it fade;
Their hate,
Their scorn.

Let it fade to gray.
Night and day;
Let it fade...
Let it fade...
Let it fade.

'Till no sign,
Rain or shine,
Remains to haunt you.Let It Fade by ~WildFangWolf

FailureThey stand around me, everywhere.
They used to laugh but now they stare.
Anger, sadness in their hearts.
Hate me and my broken parts.
All their souls I broke to pieces
haunt me, blame me without ceases.
I see them when I'm all alone.
I see them as my heart breaks down.
All their fret, I can't ignore.
All this, I can't take no more.Failure by ~AlilliceMFC

My DadWhen I was little, my dad was a superlative.

He was the strongest, the bravest, the most the best. No man could compete with him. He didn't just set the bar, no, my dad was the bar. He could do no wrong in my big youthful eyes.

When I became a teenager, my dad was nothing but wrong.
His expectations: wrong.
Means of discipline: wrong.
Opinions of my boyfriends: wrong.
And it was hard to understand how a man of such great stature could take such a fall. Especially to such a smart daughter like me, who was above the petty "ugh, my parents suck!" complaints of a typical teen. I, who searched for a higher understanding, could not possibly be atMy Dad by ~kushamisaru

House Calls by ~Muerte23

The WidowHow peacefully he sleeps
upon soft, silken sheets
as I bend down to kiss
the warmth from his lips.

So softly he moans
and whispers his final breath
so regal and angelic he looks in death.
I gently caress his curled, auburn hair
praying for the angels to take him in their care.

So peacefully he sleeps
upon soft, silken sheets
and I savour the taste
of his last, warm breath

The news is joking.
Truly.
Right?

Life is too short to end now.
It is but one finger pull from beginning.
How will it go?

The eyes see the news, the echos fret in the mind,
but none of it gets recognition.
Where do we go if not here or the other?

Standing StillStanding Still

I cannot think straight anymore.
I really need to see you now.
But you just turn and close the door.
To hide my tears, my head will bow.

I always seem to wait for you
But you never do wait for me.
It is sad that I always knew
This is how it was meant to be.

You gave me a horrible scar.
You really pretened to care.
You bit me like the snake you are.
Yet you look like a teddy bear.

Left alone on this silent hill,
You'll always see me standing still.Standing Still by ~Invictus47

Rot in hell. by *MechanicMocha

I Am FlawedFrom body to soul and in between,
They blotch the parchment that is me;
I know of worse flaws I have seen,
But surely
I am flawed.

I sometimes lose my temper,
Use my mouth before my mind;
I ponder things I could do better,
And regret them for a time.

I can be harsh, I can be blunt,
I tend to hide my thoughts;
But this is far from what I want:
To be in someone's heart.

Comparisons are hard to make
Since we are all unique.
But half the time my words are fake;
The real me is a freak.

Regardless,
These flaws define me, describe me—
They make me what I am.
In that light, I'm proud to say that
I
am
flawed.I Am Flawed by ~ScarletDevil1503

I Think I Love YouI Think I Love You

I think I love you.
But how do I know if these feelings are true?
Is there one, simple way to say
That I think of you each day?
My breath always seems to catch
When I think we're a perfect match.
Could you say the same thing?
Am I your queen and you're my king?
Would your face turn a different hue
If you said "I think I love you too"?
If we had the courage to say how we feel,
This situation could be more ideal.
I wouldn't have to wonder when I saw you,
If you had these feelings too.
Is there a point to my stomach turning in knots,
And my face becoming flushed and hot?
Can you tell my heart skips a beat

Love is that cutey
Who's in your science class.

Love is how you blush
When they look your way.

Love is the tingle
You get when they say "Hi."

Love is how your heart pounds
When you're close to them.

Love is the joy
You feel as a couple.

Love is the rush
You get when you kiss.

Love is the excitement
You have when they say "I do."

Love is the care
You two show for your children.

Love is the fear
You feel when the hospital calls.

Love is the dread
You feel as you make your way there.

Love is the sorrow
You feel when they're gone.

Love is the memories

It started with a Lie and a HelloI tried.
You lied.
Why?

Was being honest to hard for you?
You say you didn't want to upset anyone.
Now look at us ignoring eachothers Existence,

You had me by Hello
Now all I want is to forget you and slam the door goodbye.

Don't be mad when I don't answer when you call.
Don't be sad when you see I'm with someone new.

You told me how bad I was and how I ruined your life,
How?
I was the one crying.
I was the one being a complete wreck.
You left me.
You said all this awful things and now I think every thing you ever said.

Crazy inloveCrazy?
Insane?
Was that what who we were?

You loved me and I loved you.
What was so wrong with it?
Maybe how we insulted eachother.

Maybe the way we would argue and fight one second.
Than tease eachother the next.
Crazy?
Oh yes, But we are crazy in love.

Hitting each other?
Insulting each other?
Loving each other?
Joking with each other?

He's a devil one min.
An angel the next.

Im an angel one min.

We love each other.
But we love to torment each other aswell.

People say we are strange.

Was this true?

Oh very much.

" Oh so you like him?"

Teasing.
Tormenting.

Friendship

SharpThe very train of thought
leading me to write this poem
left on the last train heading north.
It was scheduled for 4 p.m.
Sharp
as a knife cutting through
worries
about worrying too much
when they are having a good time.
Do you think they noticed
I wasn't there so they might
play Where's Noah like
Where's Waldo but Waldo's
at the train station
waiting for 4 p.m.
sharp.
Getting away is
as easy as a hot knife
through butter
but the worries haunt like
a lonely ghost after sunset
and maybe I'll find a friend
in that ghost
or maybe they'll
find Waldo
at 3.59 p.m.

one minute
before the train of thought

Loyalty -Harmony Series-Trusting and brave
Stand by your friends
Stand against hatred
Stand up for what is right

Though thick and thin
Forgive and forget mistakes
Life is too short
For disharmony between friends

Never forget friendship is magic.Loyalty -Harmony Series- by ~Zhadowsxxx

You are moving forward
Ahead of me
And out of sight
But your not gone.

My teacher,
You have given me much
My visions continue
And so shall the lessons
But without obvious guidance.

My partner,
There was much undone
We never had time for our wishes
And they may never be granted
But your legacy shall not be forgotten.Legacy by ~Zhadowsxxx

Abstract BoyMind over matter,
ask the Mad Hatter
if he found a new form
of substance abuse
Pitcher and batter,
strike out the latter
unless the wooden bat
is hollowed for use
And the abstract boy
wants more than a toy-
his blankest canvases
will become obtuse
Simplest virtue,
the will to pursue
what remains excellent
among the refuse
Vilest taboo,
a debt to accrue
over a lifetime as
a total recluse
And the concrete girl
wants more than a pearl-
her deepest desires
will soon be set loose
Give him a reason
and give her a song
This incompletion
shouldn’t last so long
Give him the world
and give her a heart
Truth remains curled
inside of their art
Give him a focus
and give her a hope
His every opus
is her way to cope
Give them each other
and see how it ends
Brother and sister
as eternal friends
And the perfect joy
did lie in between-
idealism

Immortal

I surpass time's touch
Even death has no control
For I am no one

I saw nations rise
I saw the fall of countless
Civilizations

Such a lonely life
Everything I loved soon dies
It brings emptiness

A gift from Heaven
A curse from Hell, I don't know
Why, I'm immortalImmortal by ~Nanashione

2.18take my hand, don't be shy
come with me, for tonight you die
i am death, the reaper, angel of night
collecting souls without concern
don't even think of trying to run
because soon enough, it'll be your turn
slip your fingers into mine
feel the bone and blood intermingling
gaze deep into my hood
see your victories and defeats reflected
look at the arc of my scythe
taste of the gleaming, wicked edge
the delicious pinch as it catches
and pulls
and separates the skin of your neck
fear me, because i'm all you've ever dreaded
chase me, because i'm all you've ever desired
thoughts and lives are fleeting
and the thought of life is, 2.18 by ~kayceethe166

Grave Mortality by *odinify

Am I afraid of Death?"Am I afraid of death?"

Only a man who does not fear death,
Is a man whose lover he has already met.
If it's true love, he does not fear his death,
Rather, he fears his lover's demise.

Also, only a man who welcomed his parting,
Like a friend, like a man to his consanguinity,
Could not fear death itself.
After all, how could you fear something you accosted yourself?

But alas, I am not one of these men.
I am cynical, a bad omen.
Nor I could never hope to be one,
A person who could not be afraid of death.Am I afraid of Death? by ~MeyouandI

sickMy temperature is sky high
As I'm losing my mind
If I role on my side will it leak out
From the two hollows I now have for eyes?
Because every time I blow my nose my brain cells cry
Brain juice crashes like waves
Agents my skull that's soon to cave
And now I'm dizzy again...
Oh know here comes the pain
This is a typical day
In a life where you just decay
And you might find this insane
But you can't judge, I just lost my brain
What was I gunna say?
...
Oh yah I'm sick of decaying

But I hit the ground
I try to give up
But freedom isn't found
And the smell of rotten flesh

Math Your numbers and symbols are like
Little pieces of death sprinkled with confusion
Like a class on psych.

Your lines and curved parenthesis are
Unlike a lovely woman because
I'd rather be hit by a car.

Your greater and less than are like labels.
Which like Grimm stories and fairytales,
You should have stayed fables.

The imaginary and rational numbers are a
Curse to kids, adolescents, and adults.
Which is why you should go to hell and stay.

Saying I'd rather be dead
Is an understatement for solving your problems
Gives me more and kills me in the head.

Queen of HypocrisyVixen, vixen, pretty little vixen. Why you be vexin'? You think you're so stunning, you think you're so mighty,
you think you're so clever, but really you're so naughty.
With coat as red as flame, and the visage of friendly appeal, you draw people in close
just so you could make them burn and kneel. Why, vixen, why are you so mean?
Do you really think so low of yourself you have to demean?

You speak philosophically, you speak like a sage, but your words are lies woven by the deranged.
You're modest upon sight, I'll give you that, but once people think they know you,
you strike and bite. You can't stand to be questioned, you have to be Queen of Hypocrisy by ~KatsaNovari

Dear you,I could list a thousand reasons why I hate you
And I'm sure a lot of people could do that too.
When you're alone with children's parents I know you spout your lies
And truthfully, honestly I can't say I'm surprised.
When will this nightmare of your reign end?
When will you stop trying and forcing to make things bend?
I just don't like your "help", you are most certainly not helping me.
I'm going to expose you so the whole wide world will see.
When you talk to me and other students you shout at us
But when you talk to parents you make us eat your dust.
If this is an example of what a role model should be,
I'd rather be a beggar and be starving on the cold streets.
You say some things that you can never take back or heal the pain
And then you ask us to speak up and to explain.
But when we try to you just hold you hand and shut us up

A Part of Something MoreA wave’s gentle fingers brush the shore
And a beautiful picture is drawn
But the next wave rushes up to the sand
And the work of art is gone

The waves have many admirable qualities
Peaceful and reliable every day
But I don’t want to be a wave
If I’ll be so quickly washed away

With all the lives that have ever been lived
A single one becomes hard to find
But I want mine to count somehow
I want to leave something behind

I realize now that a single wave
Leaves almost nothing behind
Yet the entire ocean as a whole
Can break the strongest rock with time

It can carve the greatest canyons
With it’s never ending tears

The Tale of AriesWithin the stars of spring
And the equinox of make believe
The ram runs from Argonauts who sought to cleave
Wool of the sun, where reality and myth conceived

Mars of war defends the beast
To keep safe it's passengers traveling east
Protect the fleece from the false priest
Phrixus and Helle rescued before deceased

But mourning was heeded as stone fell to water
The dear girl and beloved daughter
"A bene placito" did the brother grieve
For the queen laughed at the nothing to retrieve

Colchis welcomed the prince with glee
And Aeetes gave the princess on happy knee

My Winter Bride Hush, my love
Not a word
Not a sound
Let me kiss your breath away
as I lay you to sleep in the frost covered ground.

I shall dress you in a wedding gown
of lilies so pure and white
Pleading my vows of love eternal
to you, my Winter bride.

Our wedding bed is covered
in a blanket of virgin snow
Stained only by the secrets
I have forced upon it now.

Sleep gently, my love
Not a whisper
Not a breath
Let me lie by your side
while I love you to death.My Winter Bride by *Ridderkvinden

Its Past Midnight.I feel tired.............

Sleepy........

With heavy eyelids and shaking hands I stumble and creep.
Gossamer darkness brushes my face and eyes,
Sleep grips my chin and jerks it towards my heart repeatedly.
Struggle to place feet forward into motion,
My mind is made up of half wakefulness and dreams.
Down the miles of hallway,
To my cloud-soft abode I journey.
A bit of heaven awaits me.

Aura: The Revolution

I will never live up to any other expectations

I will only just reach the place in life that's destined

Never again will I be a victim of impossible outcomes

Never again will I allow my self-respect to be disgraced and overcome
-
I am a prisoner no more
Discrimination became the martyr

I had to put an end to this war
I will not be walked on like I had been before

The future of a fearless life is what I now strive for
The source of my resolve has been built into my core

I believe what's right / To live my life
I'll reach for the light / And shine so bright

There's no limit to the sky / This smile never felt so fineAura: The Revolution by *RainbowizedSky

Sweet Nectar of Life!

I would scale the highest mountain
I would sail the stormy seas
I would walk through cactus gardens
crawl through brier on my knees

I would fly clear up to Heaven
I would dig through earth below
I would place my bet on seven
put on quite an evening show

I would search through every cave
I would climb the highest tree
I would jump and act so brave
everyone would root for me

I would wish to end all strife
I would pine for endless days

I live in a country and my mommy and my daddy, too.
I think there are children living in other countries, too.
If you throw bombs at them their mommies and daddies might die.
If my mommy and daddy die, I would be very sad.
Maybe you are sad?
You could make another song.
Your last song made everyone happy!
Or did I make you angry?
I'm very sorry and send you Mr. Fluffle.
He will cheer you up again!
He always cheers me up.
Please send him back when you feel better.
He likes your song very much, too!

Please don't kill everyone.
Thank you!

Timothy

Don't let it get to your head.

My NameMy heart pounds like a kettle drum and thunder-
My spine shivers like it's the dead of winter, shunning the warmth of summer.
The beating hurts my chest, like spikes jabbing at my flesh-
The chills fill me with an endless shiver as I wish to be free of fear giver.
How do you know my name?
I want to hide in my own shadow and cry to sleep-
I want to flee to somewhere safe, to a safe haven.
My shadow fills me with comfort as I press against them-
My want to flee makes me feel like I am not here, but in heaven.
Who told you my name?
I choose to run until I am out of breath and left gasping-
I choose to hide until you are gone and away.
I can't stop my fear as it boils over and leaves me drowning-
I can't stop looking over my shoulder as I run down the way.
Why do you know my name?
My lungs hurt from running and not being able to breathe-
My head aches from blood pounding in my head, pounding, pounding, pounding.
The pain keeps me thinking of the good times-
The pounding lets me know that mMy Name by ~WolfXFox22

"What Do You Think Of ME" contest

i think you're neari think you're near, but can't be seen.
so far away, what does it mean?
how could a heart beat on a shore
so distant where the thunders roar?
why is there silence in your eyes?
will all the special memories die?
please tell me that your love will live
with every song to you i give.
are all your skies dark in the day,
or do they thrive just in my way?

i think you're near, but can't be heard,
not even in a singing bird.
does my voice ring in your ears?
do you forget with passing years?
when will i hear a laughing sound?
perhaps when your smile is found.
speak of me though i am far.
tell them i am your shining star.
are all youi think you're near by ~sataikasia

Tell it Like it IsI know you have a sweet heart,
And that you don't ever want to hurt anyone,
We have that in common,
But I think sometimes you have to learn-
Learn to tell people like it is;
What your feelings are
So they don't guess at it
Or they have hope,
But please learn to do this for me
Because I promise you, my friend,
One of my best friends,
I won't hold it against you
Because I love you,
And I won't walk away this time.Tell it Like it Is by *theoutlawwitch

If time could stop, My love would be foreverI look toward your beautiful face, and see your dark chocolate brown eyes

I see the love and desire you feel for me, and i see the importance that you keep for me in your heart

My eyes drift toward your soft lips, and how perfect they are

I fell in love with the way they feel when you kiss me

Suddenly your soft skin touches mine. our hands intertwine as we get closer

You pull me towards you, holding my waist, whispering in my ear

The sweet words of you love make me melt inside, i just love the way you make me feel

Kissing my neck up to my lips, our bodies close the gape inbetween us

And like passionate romance two hearts become one, tIf time could stop, My love would be forever by ~lollovebug

Wasted TalentI have my opinion,
You have your cream.

I have a purpose,
You have an image.

I painted the world,
You painted your face.

My palet is rich,
My colors vivid-
Flowing together,
Forming my picture,
Given the attention
To this detail,
It's not a wonder,
That my picture speaks.

Your palet is paintless,
The colors all bland.
Flat and asymetrical,
Your purpose is lost.
While my idea runs wild,
Yours sits and stares.

No life in those eyes,
No depth to the scene.

A talent wasted,
Upon cares of the world.

You talent is amusing,
My talent is beauty.Wasted Talent by ~Thisntme

HumanHere I lay, my gravestone devoid

Scattered pages of the book thiefScattered Pages of “The Book Thief “

The tattered cover of a small black book
Sheets that yellowed, sheets that curl with age
Abandoned forgotten the book he took
As he watched a book thief’s words fade away

A cut throat grey smoke that surrounds a man
As burning ash flakes to the solid ground
And lulls small Lisle to smile again
As they roll tobacco and set them down

A six point star painted on the door
Abhorrence is spat in his dirty face
As yellow paint trickles down ever more
And he is cast aside as though he is Jew

All words written by a book thief we know
And her horde of stolen books only grow

Allow me to paint a picture for you
A dusty street, ready for child’s play
We see these kids break off in teams of two
A ball set in the center, starts the game

A boy who wished to be Jesse Owens

ReturnRazed is my past, a hollow mockery of a life.
Eased into a shell, a fight at the grasp of a knife.
Though now turned that the tables have, an old soul adieu.
Under the pressure of a thousand minds, a new life found true.
Reams of blood and bones and a soul reforged from the weight of love.
Now I am born again, a perception turned outside in, a mind I am deserving of.Return by ~TwinAgateDragons

"Why Fall In Love" contest

Why Fall In LoveThere are always the cynical ones,
those who could really care less
And they say,
"Why fall in love?
I don't need anybody else.
It's just a waste of energy and time."
Why?
Well, one does not ever mean to fall in love.
It's a natural occurrence in all human beings.
You never realize it
Until you hear them laugh and
smile at the sound.
See them sad and
instantly long to make it better.
Feel them smile at you and
want to freeze that moment forever.
It's a disorder of the brain,
But it feels so good;
An addling of the mind,
Yet it brings you so much more happiness and
hope
than you've had in a long while.
And even if it doesn't work out,
No matter what happens
You will be happy if they are.
(Right?)Why Fall In Love by ~theolivethief14

the love clichei.
bodies moving in the moonlight
basking in the glow
of shared warmth
of secrets breathed into the darkness
into each other
ii.
deft fingers traveling the expanse of your being
mapping out every hill
every feature
adventurers we call ourselves
so much to be discovered
iii.
you shiver as you remember the fleeting touches
the love cliché
the hands that ghost around your face
around your waist
where they take hold
they create hope
so never let gothe love cliche by ~BakuSpirit

Why Fall In Love?Why fall in love
When I can learn how to fly?
Spread my arms off the edge
And fall until I die.

Why fall in love
When I can sleep under a tree?
I can absorb the world
On where the grave will be.

Why fall in love
When I can eat instead?
I consume my mind and self
Soon to become dead

Why fall in love
If it is with you?
You are in my head
You are in my heart
You are in my soul.

Why fall in love?
Well I can have the world in my hands
They would be yours
That is all I need in my life

Why fall in love?
Only to see you when I wake
Those will be my days
With each minute and breath I take

Why fall in love?
I could be with you.
I could see you.
Why Fall In Love? by ~LegendMonster

3, 2, 1, Spark!It's the very essence of life-
Flames that wrap like a blanket
or scorch if you can't contain the heat.

Love diverge-
across gender, animals and even objects.
Two males or two females-
Same flame from a different candle.
It's only a problem if you look at it as one.
They are humans too
with the rights to lead and follow their hearts.
A woman marries a dolphin-
Absurd news perceived by the typical public.
If we can love humans,
why not animals?
One who retreats from the real world
to advance in another dimension-
Fiction or non-fiction,
books are like a lighthouse,
guiding you away from choppy seas.

Everyone deserves to love
and be loved.

The Jump

The lights of the town are like a thousand fireflies
The fresh breeze like a gasp of relief
My heart beat is like the sound of trampling feet of children
My soul is like a wilting rose.

I saw the stars in your eyes
I felt your heart underneath my hand
Your breath tickles on my neck
Everything passed away.

Now I sit here
On the roof upon the town
I listen to the chasing cars
See the sparkling lights
Sense the wind through the cracks of my soul.

Why shouldn't I jump in to the sea of lights?
Maybe I'll be a star
Which shines with all the others
Or maybe everything comes to an end
Like hope did so long ago.

A YearAutumn
Raindrops hit the windows
A child is slipping on the wet leaves
But we are save inside
Me in your arms.

You whispered nothing could happen to me
Nothing could hurt me as long as you're with me
You promised you'd always protect me
While you kissed away a tear.

Winter
Snowflakes rest in your hair
The reflected light sparkles in your eyes
As we walk around the frozen lake
Hand in hand.

You whispered something happened
Something that'd change a lot
You promised it wasn't my fault
While you strictly avoided to look in my tear-filled eyes.

Spring
The earth fills with colors
The sun warms the air
While my world stays greyA Year by ~IpomeaTricolor

i just wanted to make you something beautifulyour goodbye
tasted like cold
toast
rather bitter, really

kind of poetic--&
a bit absurd
while waltzing
around your bedroom

(hitting my shin
on the nightstand)

a goose dabbing
its beak in
lyrical genuis

a little less than
brillance
& every law of thermodynamics
pressed against

Slaves in the GutterAlong the wavering flames we pace

Whatever in the past we may erase

It's all stamped in our DNAs

The dearth of choice to give and take

We are a child's play

A life in one breath passes away

Generation after generation,

indebted till eternity

In this never-ending slavery

Ignorant of dreams,

blindfolded from truth

Built with mortars of lies and half-truths

We owe our lives to our fathers

We are the famishing slaves in the gutterSlaves in the Gutter by ~AirplaneZ900andNine
