American still sober
I am a vase. I sit alone, on a flimsy shelf, my vibrant colors smothered under a layer of protective dust. Look closely, There are cracks in my gently rounding curves, almost invisible, where pieces once fit. All made by the hands of mirrored friends. Where blossoms of entrancing beauty once stood there is nothing. I am empty. I am a dandelion, standing alone in a naked field. My white fluff threatening to leave at the breath of greener pastures. I whisper for the gusts not to blow, but they do not hear. I am alone. I am a mirror. There I hang for all to gaze into with agonizing vanity. I am a result of their deep-set hubris and ever-present pride. I am a window to their souls, reflecting their imagined qualities as the naked truth of their cruelty. They smash my candor into a thousand lacerating pieces. And I am broken.

The Truth of Me
Energy, Swirling tendrils reaching out, sparkling, shimmering gold meet glittering emerald green, bright and shining. The wall comes down. Searching minds and asking questions, silent conversations, all the while surrounded in energy. wrapping, blanketing, soothing the loneliness. Seeing through each others eyes, thoughts exchanged. Mellow tone and warming timbre, all through softly glowing energy.

Thoughts on Telepathy
Heart beats are racing. My aching thoughts crave calm from the gravity. Paralyzing cold, You have suffered for so long, I love you, don't go. I am too selfish, I am selfish in this world, This cold, cold, cold world. Your quit breathing, I still need you, please don't leave. I'm begging, pleading. I am too selfish, I am selfish in this world, This cold, cold, cold world. Through silent screaming, I see the soft stillness come, and then, your last breath. Anger, grief, relief!

Anger, Grief, Relief (Lyrics No.2)
Dear Johnny, Dear Jane, We never really got along, I never like you from the start, so here's a little song I wrote about your ****** ****** heart. You have a ****** way, you're a psychopath with pride. The things you do to those around you show your shittiness inside. It's really a pity that you're so ****** you're ****** to the core. You never feel love, your ****** fits like a glove, and each day you get ******** more and more. All you'll ever be is ****** you'd steal from the poor and the blind, you'd poison the food of your neighbors kitty and you wouldn't even mind. You're a terrible, mean  person, you lie and cheat and steal. You take what you want and leave nothing behind, you probably don't even feel. It's really a pity that you're so ****** you're ****** to the core. You never feel love, your ****** fits like a glove, and each day you get ******** more and more. Your just a big, steamy, smelly, reeking, ****** pile of **** Sincerely, Me

A Letter (Lyrics No.1)
Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled. They come out wrinkled and cold, their verdant skins hardened and crisp. One crushing bite reveals a soft yellow center, soured cells seeping embalming vinegar. Feathery dill disintegrates, bringing biting flavor to our cryogenic sandwich toppers But, some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.

Cucumbers
Wind rustled leaves kiss softly in the morning sun, whispering wishes. Good mornings, hellos, Tranquility in my days, sun filled warm greetings. Smoke wafting gently through the crisp, early sunlight. Steam come from my cup. Flutters, feathered wings, some covered in bright sky blue, some brown and some red. Brightly, singing songs to me from their wooden homes. Today will be good.

My Mornings (Haikus No. 3)
In my pink swimsuit, getting ready for a day at the beach, I hear news so confusing. Suddenly, my mother gone. I sit down and cry. My grandpa holds me, I've only aged seven years. Heavily sobbing. My father takes me later, we go to the beach anyway, but then see a waterspout and a rainbow overhead, Think of sand dollars. I know she is safe, I can feel it in my heart, suffering no more.

Day at the Beach (Haikus No. 2)
Why did I drink excessively? I have put myself in danger. Hands held from the back, unwilling *********** from you, a stranger. Pleading and confused, violating ecstasy, forcing sweet release. And then there were two. Forwards and backwards, blackout, lost is my control. Remembering parts. Painful, and the counter top, hair ripped out harshly. Murmuring, "please, no, stop." All through quiet sobbing, "It hurts, please... stop." Barely, I can't move. All full, and being taunted, I can't fight back. Saying, "You like it, take it like the ***** you are." No one comes to help.

Post Traumatic (Haikus No. 1)
Mother Mary, now be wary and watch as my power grows over sickly Sarah (who couldn't bear the cross of her fears and woes) Rattle rattle lost the battle Death - the sinking doggy paddle and a single shotgun blast.

From Lillith
streaming moonlight wakes me from demented dreams of green staring eyes and blood on the bathroom walls and shoeless hallways and blindless windows they took my purse they took my wallet they took my clothes earrings phone sunshine air leaves and grass they took my blood the north winds cookie crumbles constellations and wafts her sultry glares through my eyelids heres your cocktail go home
