If words mean nothing Why do we waste so much breath Telling critics so?

A Paradoxical Stand
In my dreams, I scream At the top of my lungs In anger/in sadness Scream words left unsung My dream is not to be loud I am loud in the real world Perhaps too much so In fact I’ve tried to quiet down In my dreams When I scream No one listens As if I hadn’t said a word When I am begging to be heard A lost cause, really For who will hear me Behind closed eyes And an arcane mind Screaming On the inside

Silent Screams
The entitled ones: Snotty, stuck up, rude Nasty, spoiled prudes Your misery, their fun Loosen up your buns, entitled ones ‘Cause I am in no mood To harbor your attitude And snooty snippy sayings sung The desk between us that which divides Does not right you to be snide Entitled ones need not apply Entitled are entitled nigh The ones who earn entitlement Are the ones who give respect Possessors of this enlightenment Such respect is what they’ll get Treat your servers as you will with such level of pomposity But understand that I abide by way of reciprocity

The Nasty Customer
Every time you take a leap There’s someone pulling on your shoe To pull you back and try to keep You from doing what you do Naysayers! Jealous ones, Block-your-sun, Wreck-your-fun Gloom mayors The ones who simply won’t believe You hold the power to achieve But they don’t know what you can do How strong you are, they don’t know you So we won’t let them in our way We’ll pay no mind to nayers’ say They’ll have to judge us from afar For they don’t know just what we are: No-fretters Can’t-bother-me Get-off-my-tree “I-will-succeed” Go-getters Soon enough they’ll surely see Just how mighty we can be

The Bullies Beyond the Schoolyard
I think that when all is right with the planet We’ll have nothing to fight for, nothing to bring So bored and restless we can barely stand it No mayhem to suffer no preaches to sing With no wrongs to right we start writing wrongs Things get pretty boring when everything’s right For what do we stand if we cannot stand strong? Your impact is nigh if you’ve nothing to fight It’s hard to imagine a world without sin Our striving for change is what makes life abundant If the world isn’t perfect, just hold up your chin To exist in perfection is rather redundant

A World Without Sin
It was only a dream But how real it did seem It isn’t real But that’s not how I feel If a crazy man can live in his world Why can’t I live in mine I understand his perception’s curled But inside his head, it’s all in line How can you say What not to believe? At the end of the day It’s all perceived

Is it Really Real?
We all have masks But no, I will not ask Of you to never wear Such safety that you bare It gets us through the day And keeps our id at bay Without our mask It’d be a task To live a civil way For we are social beings We need those special ties To share our inner feelings And free what underlies But underlies cannot be shared Until you’ve built a bond And that is why we have to wear Our mask to help belong But if you wear it long enough Your skin will overgrow And what was once your social bluff Will be the only face you know And what is social fabric If you’ve forgotten your despairs Your mask’s a pointless tactic If you’ve nothing left to share I encourage you to wear your mask It gets you through the fight The only favor that I ask Is you take it off at night

The Mask
Each one who makes their mark on your story Will be a part of your book Some will make their mark with words of happiness, Words of power, Words of sadness, Words of pain. But all are words of gain; Making your story fuller They are phrases through which you phase Some will leave you empty spaces Some may take a whole chapter They are questions: Some will answer them Some are powerful periods (Some are secrets on the side) One might even be so bold As to be the stem that binds Each one is important And will be a part in building your book But the one thing they shall never be Is the pen You hold on to that for dear life

Those Who Make up Your Story

A Thriving Species
Les mots que je mange C’est tellement étrange Bien qu’on sait Ce qui est vrai, On n’a pas le droit De le dire comme on voit Et on voit la même chose: N’importe comment belle, la rose On sent sa piqûre Mais on ne sera pas trop dur On ignorera sa crime Et sera coupé par ses épines
