Haven't You heard?

The great wave represents
so
much
more

Mona Lisa's smile is not happy
Let me tell you why

You just don't understand
what it means

Maybe if you were more in tune
With yourself
And your soul
You would know what they were saying
What they were expressing
With each color
Each stroke

Haven't you heard
The answer is definite
I know for sure
What they represent
What they mean
Don't you feel the same way?

Wax
My body is covered with wax
I noticed it today
It's a thin white gunky film
That will not go away

My body is coated with wax
It builds and builds and builds
I can't do anything I want to
My life seems unfulfilled

My body is layered with wax
I cannot even move
Not a day goes by that I don't wish
My situation would improve

My body is caked with wax
I guess I'll leave it be
I'll forever be cased inside this prision
I've accepted I won't be free

My body was enclosed with wax
Until a phenomenon
I thought of something else today
And suddenly it was gone

I cried as it fell off me
And I felt the fresh clean air
I felt like I could breathe again
There's was nothing to despair

Some days the wax comes back to me
But I know just what to do
I think of anything else I can
And my life begins anew

— The End —
