It feels impossible to succeed
In this world that just doesn't seem
to understand me

With all this hate just flowing,
It's seeping into the sea!
Surrounded by modern distractions
How can we ever just be,
I'm a slave to beauty
Constantly disappointing the standard,
See, they've played with my mind

Drowning in a sea of marketing teams,
Advertising french fries
In the same line
as a body made to please
still working on this

If I pour myself a cup of you
then maybe -for a second- I could be a little silly to
I pray to satisfy my hunger
my crazy little craving for..
a tall refreshing glass of new

So many times that I've been disappointed
I'm not alone, I know
but these circumstances drown me
in the feeling
I wish, and hope for things
I cry and plead with your logical self
Please listen!
but you never do
I try to care about your life, and I
just want you to care
someday I hope you can
for his sake
for your sake
for mine
I just want better for us,
how did I become the enemy
Please! could you explain it to me?
I'm worried
I'm afraid
I'm paranoid with good reason

and when finally you seem to acknowledge
the danger
It's never lasted
you just fall back down
without good reason
I'm sad
I'm scared
I'm disappointed

You can never find me
I hide inside me
somewhere secret,
and no one will ever
know

If I took a right past the stop sign
I'd wonder  'should I have went left? '
with two paths I could go
I consider strolling the one mr frost chose
a few Roberts i've known, but none
quite
the same..

Abandoning all paths
I think I'll take my chance with a tree,
I could be the girl who
climbed further than her eyes could ever see

Dripping down my forehead
are one thousand beads of sweat
collecting on my lips, I can taste what I forget
so one thousand memories from 3 summer’s before
have settled on last winter’s tongue
taste buds scream, from shock you see
Golden, shining ball of fire, look at what you’ve done
Allison Knowles Jul 2012
It was you, hidden beneath the ****,
and it was me searching
in every wrong place for too long
I believed that feelings like these would have been,
just impossible to find and to share with another, seemed
like a beautiful story of my dreams, no reality to find
A rarity like a snowflake in a sandbox, in the beginning of July
four days in, I can feel that look in your eyes
the same gorgeous gaze that hooked me
that one evening we ate dinner
for the very first time


And who am I, just a girl
who has stumbled into the perfect man
with perfect quirks and
a passion that  could light up the world
and a kindness that I could return forever
my love is above what we see and
you, are your own individual universe
and that energy inspires me
to be me
my own universe too
so comfortably entangled with you
