Canadian Hey, I write.
I can feel my heart beat in time with the pull of the curtains and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to faint because I've done this show six times now and I know my lines like they're from my favourite show and I could do the dances in my sleep So why is it that every time the lights ts go down I almost hit the floor and if I drink the worlds water it doesn't calm my nerves now they swim in dancing's stead

You can sing for the summer You can write for the fall But for the artist Winter, she bares no fruits at all. Who wants to read of a grey winter day no one remembers to read when the sun's gone away the poets weep for the snow on the ground which is about as white as mud, tracked around Sure the snowflakes are different but they all look the same and there's too many footprints from the children's games yes the winter for the writer is bleak, at best yes the winter for the artist puts a poet to the test

Winter
And I think that your eyes could rival the night skies inthe language of brilliance and starstruck A small smile from you makes the wait work the view and I love when it's pointed at me. Because your brilliant shyness at any attention (that is well deserved) is enough to make a poet stop writi

One Sonnet for you
I am a shell of a gaping hole I cannot feel any emotion and I want to I really want to but I cannot tell anyone I cannot tell anymore I want to be loved I want to be in love but I can't imagine anyone having the misfortune to be stuck with me I mean why would they want to be? anyway I have nothing to offer I can't cook I can't clean I cannot sympathize I am just so alone In a world full of people who would love to try and understand the vast and incomplete ramblings of my overworked, depressed and shattered mind that I want to just tear out of my skull with a cheese grater because why woN'T IT JUST SHUT UP

Where has my blanket heart gone?
Close the door Lock me in I would never fight to win I would never fight to live. I will fight to die. Drown me in your toxic flame I want to feel your burn I will run I will run to the cavern in the valley drink me down to the ground I want to taste the dirt I will fight to die I will fight to die I have fought to die Just an army shy of the endless victory we won, we won taste the afterlife We have fought to win We have lost today We have lost our lives.

Fight
Welcome to the end times. Welcome to the pain. Welcome to fires, floods and droughts. Welcome the acid rain. Welcome more wars. Welcome loved one's deaths. Welcome the fact that the radiation kills you, even if you hold your breath. Welcome to fighting, up and down the streets. Welcome to, for once in your life. Praying for something to eat. Welcome to the end times. Welcome to the last act. We're all dying anyway, that, my love, is fact. Welcome to your final days. Welcome home, love. The en'times are here. Have you had enough?

Welcome
You are not a normal girl, No one even knows, the things you see in the night, haunt you ever still. Faces of the evil things, you see throughout the day. Torment where you lay. ~ You are different, That you know, All the voices tell you so, but it's because you don't belong, everyone still loves your song. They don't know it's based on truth. Not everyone can be a sleuth. ~ If they knew what you've been through, they would not treat you like they do. Or are people cruel, heartless monsters? Are you a diamond in the rough? The only one who realizes love is not enough. Why is everyone so mean? Why are they so cruel? They'll be gone one day, and so will you, eventually, everyone disappears into the valley of the blue. ~ Death is such a scary word, but why is it so? Is it human fears of the unknown? Or surely, something more. Is it not knowing, what lays after those rusted onyx doors? Or having no one join you, that you hope never do.

Collection
Fingerless gloves and peach coloured roses. Tell me you love me before my eye closes. I'll always love you, no matter the cost, Of beauty and love, we'll never be lost,

Incredibly Short.
Just because I'm in your head, believe me love, I am not dead, I'm waiting for my chance to strike, I'll hit you with my madness spike. You'll want to claw out your eyes, Your own hands are your demise. You'll rip out your liver and tear out your lungs. Now my fun has just begun. You'll run red lines down your wrists, Still think you don't need a therapist? Pull out your hair, bite your nails. Run your mind through all your fails. No one else will understand, You are the village madman, Your confusion is the best part. My love, you are my work of art.

Aftermath
Once upon a time, In a land far away, A day for a dime, Is now a dollar a day. They thought they increased, The worth of the dollar, Instead the released, Every other scholar. Without all the knowledge, A nation will die, Jump off of a bridge, Water full of their lies. It's the circle of life, I hope you will see, Fall under the knife, A knife of deceit, As it is the end, The final roll-call, Goodbye, to my friends. I won't miss you at all...
