*I explain my metaphors with metaphors
I don't know how else to express
My thoughts that sit in clutter drawers
And leave my mind a mess
If you don't understand my comparison
I'll just say it in a different way
My thoughts still shielded by a garrison
Suppressing things I need to say*

Shifting glances, glazed eyes, anxious me the world despised.
In the world of shadows and friendships fleeting-
Whose eyes did I think I was meeting?
I've done wrong in the past, I may agree,
but to allow this to consummate to my demise, to a certain degree?
That's hardly fair, to you and to me.
And though all I want, I need, I plead
is to start over, anew, alone, if need be,
I can't, I won't, I shan't, from my burdens flee.
My hope, though broken, scraps of the reused,
I will relight
and set fire to last the night.
Words irrevocable, misperceptions unavoidable, but the will to live, and God's unfailing love?
Those, those are unchangeable.
The next time I see those shifting eyes,
I'll put down my poignantly pathetic pride and walk away from being petrified.
I will stand tall, and from the train of shame alight.

A moment of rage
Let words wild out on a rampage
Spewing out from my mind to my lips out of my mouth at the speed of a lightning bolt charged and lethal
and
Whipping past my conscience, perpetual
My heart screamed in neglect
It had slapped another- square in the head, intellect
Cold
Influence of television the mould
Possibly
No, indubitably
Erratic
The second-guessing static
And by the time
I could rewind
Clear was my mind
Filth left behind
I pierced a rind
A curt "Too kind,"
Crossed the line
Regret now mine

The moon, the stars
They wept
And even the rain
Couldn't explain why
The storm in her soul
So vicious
It tore her heart apart
And wrung it dry
But everyone knew
She was the kind of girl
Who would never
Cry
So her eyes replayed for only her to see
The mess life had made
She burned, drowned
No one told her it was a lie
