20/F/American I am unsynchronized synchronicity. / The half pages in journals left blank, / that's me. / The image of composure while crashing down inside / The graceful dance of panic through the web I'm trapped inside
Snow Has fallen For so long In my mind It's been Numbing All the feeling Deep inside Afraid To feel What burns so Cold For weakness Is a hard Fault to Behold I choke I just Dont want To be Alone Anymore My heart is Sore from Running From itself I dont want To live On the shelf So lonesome My china Skin will Crack And my paint Will fade In the Snow

Snow
It happens. Will it go on? ---- My mind a rock, No fingers to grip, no tongue, My god the iron lung That loves me, pumps My two Dust bags in and out, Will not Let me relapse While the day outside glides by like ticker tape. The night brings violets, Tapestries of eyes, Lights, The soft anonymous Talkers: 'You all right?' The starched, inaccessible breast. Dead egg, I lie Whole On a whole world I cannot touch, At the white, tight Drum of my sleeping couch Photographs visit me- My wife, dead and flat, in 1920 furs, Mouth full of pearls, Two girls As flat as she, who whisper 'We're your daughters.' The still waters Wrap my lips, Eyes, nose and ears, A clear Cellophane I cannot crack. On my bare back I smile, a buddha, all Wants, desire Falling from me like rings Hugging their lights. The claw Of the magnolia, Drunk on its own scents, Asks nothing of life.

Paralytic
I am made of fractal dust My ashen skin will turn to rust My insides surely will combust We all end up in pieces Arrange them into different shapes To forms we shall appreciate We are not built to really hate But we do have the talents Let me cry my diamond tears As I chase away my fears And let me analyze my years To find out who I am now Or where to go from now on Which path to shine my light upon The courage now to face the dawn I swear I'll get there someday

Reflections
My mechanical pencil lead keeps breaking, and somehow it feels like a metaphor for my life

My Mechanical Pencil
Parodies of ourselves We are Walking perfection Aren't we? We are These careful little Beings We are Propped up On strings We do all The right things And we Dance like We're supposed to But What if I dont want to?

Marionette City
Often there is ecstasy in pain It lures us like we're insects to a flame. Though thousands die We never learn, And for some sick reason crave the burn. It is our nature, though we may fail, For divine humor we prevail. To learn from the past Is a complex endeavor, But to walk through fire Is what we all do together.

Rusty Pen, Rusty Sword
I need to remember my Gods are by my side, I'll be a lonely bite of truth in this belly full of lies. For this game is never won, All our bets are not forsaken. The endless odds will one day rise, And we'll leave the system shaken. Peace Is never permanent, Not all of us are cool with it. We'll write our dying testaments In suicides and percocets. With flaming wings we say our vows And down into the sea we drown. They're testing us, We **** around, We lose ourselves with every round. They make us sit and take their tone. They make us thing that we're alone. If not, we'll break their ******* bones, They dont want our freedom because they know. We'll show them we wont ever be owned.

Icarus Generation
I have felt panic in places of peace. I can't always know when people see me. For who I am is not what I seem. And who I will be is all but a dream. I want to know you all the rips in the seam. I want to sate all the places you seethe. If you'll let me in baby life will be cream. We will rise to the top Just believe me you'll see.

J/M.L.
your little voice Over the wires came leaping and i felt suddenly dizzy With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers wee skipping high-heeled flames courtesied before my eyes or twinkling over to my side Looked up with impertinently exquisite faces floating hands were laid upon me I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing up Up with the pale important stars and the Humorous moon dear girl How i was crazy how i cried when i heard over time and tide and death leaping Sweetly your voice

Your Little Voice
Reveries, and silent dreams, of which I wake from when I sleep. If I dream, if I don't just lean into thoughts that knot up my stomach like strings, of frail thin hair from a pale little girl who sat on the floor. Passively watched the world, and it's hard to understand when you can't feel things. And it's hard to count stars when you're staring at your ceiling. It's hard to love your angel kisses when you've never had wings. It's hard to leave everything behind when it's all you've ever known. All you thought was kind. But was harsh, like bark of the oak that you fell from. The scrapes and the scar from the branch that you broke off, will fade. Things change, like the skins the snakes shed off, I will scream out my pain, I will change.
