Figures Dance Across My Memory,
In An Erie Ballroom,
Lit Only By The Light Of Vanilla Scented Candles,
The Light Of The Moon And Stars,
Glaring Through Transparent Windows,
Congregate In Creamy Daffodil Colored Flames,
Every Women I've Cried Over,
In Extravagant Ball Gowns,
Stitched With The Misery They Brought Upon Me,
With Them,
Every Man Which I Have Bawled Over,
Wears A Tuxedo,
With A Withered Rose In Their Pocket,
To Symbolize My Pain,
And A Tie Laced With My Own Tears,
The Ballroom Of Horror Caters,
The Party On The Top Floor Too,
Everyone Who Has Made Me Smile,
Dances Erratically,
Singing Along And Laughing,
Though The Demons Beneath Their Feet Houses,
Barbaric--Criminals--Found Guilty Of Heartbreak,
And As They Slow Dance To Rhythmic Beating,
Of A Broken Heart--That May Never Mend,
Something That Rips The Gauze Wrap,
From My Wounds,
They Smile,
As They Masquerade In My Ballroom Of Horror
musical symbols rumble me
my teeth grind to the beat
the words are made of astral magic
the sentences gently carry me off my feet
i'm light, and blight, the blight,
i'm an angel now, with a little crown
you squinted your eyes on me from afar
bang
. . .bloodlust and stars
lyrical dna being, playing like an instrument
that's just me and my being and my soul
i am a faint yellow and blue, i am a shadow
and these songs inside my head will take me somewhere
someday

two roads, a glistening ***** tan
in my dreams, my skin is white, a different avatar
a fair little angel of light and pixie dust
innocent, not full of lust
not like my dark real self
i'm not black, i'm all the colors
always an entity among others
feeling so scary, so lonely
cause they don't understand me
i wasn't met for this grassy outer space disc

lyrical dna being, playing like an instrument
that's just me and my being and my soul
i am a faint yellow and blue, i am a shadow
and these songs inside my head will take me somewhere
someday
i'll evaporate light speckled pure pixie in
a glass bottle to heaven
flowing my way to the top
through the golden milkly heaven oceans
turned to river and feel filled with love and distilled
into nothingness pure god form air
onto the rocky hill
and i'll heal
Ugh
Flash cards
Headaches
Studying for hours
Trying so hard
Just to be heard

Trying to make friends
Trying to be social
So difficult when your not normal
The things you have to tell yourself
To keep yourself together
"It's okay
Your okay
Everything's okay"
All lies

Concerned looks from your mother
As you say that yes, today was the same
You can tell she's trying not to cry
Guilty

Procrastination
Lack of motivation
Working so hard for this presentation
And for everything else
Even when it all gets deleted in my head immediately after

The crowded hallways
You can barely squeeze your way through
They're so loud
And full of people
Most yelling
Some banging on lockers
Jammed
Like my head

Painted spirals on the wall
Not as real as mine
Random
Once more she drifts deep,

snowflakes,

feathers,

kisses soft,

blackness wraps her tight.

Contrast whispers in the void,

light and dark dance endlessly.
I’ve met the night a hundred times—
She carries no remorse,
Her silver hand upon my chest
A silent, steady force.

Her breath is like a frozen hymn,
Too soft for earth to hear—
Yet chills my soul, and bends my will
Until it disappears.

I sought to end the endless ache
With shadows on the wall,
But shadows only shift and shrink,
And answer not my call.

There is no mercy in the stars,
No kindness in the frost—
Yet some persist to claim that light
Redeems what has been lost.

End me, then, O faithful dark—
Unbind this brittle form,
And leave me not to linger here
Through one more bitter storm.
Today's traitors,
Tomorrow's heroes.

Tomorrow's heroes,
Next day's leaders.

Next day's leaders,
Next century's traitors.

So what's the difference,
All just berserk.
Sunshiny autumn

Then a singular tree waves

Leaves reach for the ground
Just a Haiku that's short and sweet, maybe even neat?
