Inside-out Freshies
These eyes are blinded by music that vibrates leaving the soul to guide us into a soft tranquility. My heart screams out and my smile is loud! Enter the tune the tune of rude the tune to any ear. Let the music take control until you stop... and everyone dances

can you hear me smile?
Sitting in the Vegas airport              8 hours waiting on standby without that nagging voice saying my name              8 hours deprived of a cigarette. My lungs are burning my soul is begging to taste that sweet cancerous nectar I have grown to crave.       Distracted.             You. Not over the age of nine. Gliding through patrons with your hands outstretched tickling the lilies in the field of your mind. Clueless to the stress of the airport unaware of the bells and whistles coming from the destruction of homes in the form of slot machines.               Without a care. Your over-weight drunk of a mother shoves your next meal into a pointless attraction in hopes of a hot tub you wont be allowed in.               Without a care. No, you're not bothered by the         crying baby                  ******** couple. No, you don't notice the nauseating tension of 500 strangers trapped in a room releasing a stank of            body odor                    restlessness                           distancing dreams. 500 strangers worried about             work                money                     pursuit of material possessions. No, not you. You're worried about the sun on your face the grass between your toes. Chasing butterflies around the chair spruce while dodging zombies              blind to the playground you've imagined. Hold on to that imagination             creativity                   innocence that years of              school work                    parenting                           American dream will surely try to destroy.

Dry dust touches my lips as the very essence of my soul slips away into the darkness. Wind tangles my hair as happiness becomes a distant memory. Tears shimmer on my cheek as I whisper "I love you" one last time. Although I do not share your beliefs, I take out a crumbled up parchment with Corinthians 5:1 and begin to read aloud... Finished I look up to catch your mother's gaze. Her eyes soft and piercing. She has been crying fro days. She doesn't blink, doesn't speak. And I know exactly what she is saying. It is my fault we are lowering your body into the earth. It is my fault we will never see you smile again. It is my fault... Gasping for air I turn to leave. Trembling more with every step. It is my fault... Finally out of sight I collapse. Silently screaming your name. It is my fault... Never should I have left. Never should I have gone. It is my fault... I should have answered. I should have called. It is my fault. Dear Sister. It is my fault.
