I want to take a moment....just one
Please just hear me
I need to be heard
I truly don't ask for much....just a moment
I need this moment
To be heard...

I'm tired
sick
worn out
of pretending

Pretending to be someone else
Maybe if I stopped just for a moment...
I could see the real you.

That moment...
I need it to come more often.

O'er the field the lay
Planted by magic
No matter the time there they stay
Some would say their life is tragic

As a child I'd frolic in their patch
They shared wisdom of all they'd seen

The older I become
The more deaf I am to their wisdom

The wildflowers--
mysterious and wise

Oh,  how I long to be infantile once more
To hear the whispers and feel a power
Old as I am now I realize that was yore
Oh, I long to hear the secrets among the wildflowers

Surrounded by nothingness,
is the only type of perfect bliss.
I stand nowhere--
just floating in the open air.

Looking forward; I cloud the past.
It proves to me it wasn't meant to last.
My path becomes seemingly unclear,
but I am tired living in this fear.

I go out on a limb
hoping the light is not dim.
It shines at the end of here,
I must keep going for that isn't near.

I trek this jaded path
only to find my soul's deep wrath.
My mind plays a tune of the fife--
I know that song is my life.

I dread it.
Awake
Work
Eat
Sleep
This is my cycle.

*****! You sit here on your "throne"
awaiting your next victim.
You asked me for a pet name
I have one-
Queen of Hearts
You play a card game
We're just your ******* cards.
You toy with us, blame us, and move on...
For once the guy isn't the ******
He's not the one cheating and lying
to play your game of poker.
I must hand it to you
You're fantastic at your poker face
Go quickly,
You've got to plan strategy for your next hand!
Your deck is running low

Just have the Joker put it in the stack,
Your majesty you've claimed another card
Oh Queen of Hearts,
that card was mine.

Held back by the trivialities of life,
Do I jump away from the habitual methodology?
I urge and yearn to taste life with enormity!
A grain of salt taste is too lacking for me,
I am overtaken by a sense of feeling.
For once I feel independent.
My blood filled corpse feels...
good.

I will jump with the world behind me.
I will not only jump; I'll soar.
The chains of social normality have been broken,
by me!

The glistening sun beats down on my enthused soul.
I'm liberated!

I'm free!
