Confined inside my comfort zone,
This wall I've built and call my own,
It seems so serene -- my own universe,
But I'm trapped inside my own ******* curse.
It's not that I don't want to destruct them,
I just lack the courage -- I'm sorry for the obstruction.
So badly I want to let you in,
So badly I want to let you win,
I wish that I could allow you to defeat them,
But I can't even begin to beat them.
Please don't find it personal -- someday I promise to fall,
But now I'm stuck here waiting for this ******* wall.
Wild hearts cannot be broken;*
Lack of the fear, lack of the emotion.

Too strong to be brought down.
Too careless for all of the commotion.

Too smart to play the cards of love and lust,
or of broken eyes and broken trust.
Don't cry little lad till the whip breaks
Hold your tears to your face
Inside your brain
A spirit slain and broken
Like your skin.
Silent screams unspoken
Weeping blood tears
Nothing left to fear though
The pain may seem extreme
The lesson is the thing
Let the rain stain
Your mad-hatter’s hat
At every sting n ache

You’ll be laughing back
Don’t lose to the darkness
The world looks different
when you always keep your head down -
I've studied all the oddities of my feet,
the details on your shoes,
the patterns in the carpet.
I've learned how to dance
without stepping on your toes,
and how to sing without raising
my voice above a sigh.
How to glide over the surface of things.
Perhaps I will never see sky
with my eyes glued to the floor,
but I'll be the first to know
when the bottom drops out from under us.
And then there are words fastened
to my tongue that will never feel their syllables
shudder in the cool breeze of candor.
Here's a question I won't release:
how high can you build something
on a foundation of eggshells?

The elephant in the room
is already cracking
                the stark
                    white
                       veneer.
Rolling-Twisting-Wafting
Distorted cloudy mask
Seized-Enveloped-Constrained
Perverting wicked task

Tasteless-Loveless-Breathless
Compulsory tears are wept
Ambitious-Precocious-Delirious  
Perceived utterly inept

Occupant-Observant-Defiant
Definitive answers slurred
Perception-Discretion-Revolution
Autonomy from the herd
Look at this,
my pen it moves
On the paper by itself.
Look at it go
all on its own,
When I had set it on the shelf.
It’s a strange thing cause
Its writing this,
But from my point of view.
You would think that this pen
of mine,
Would have its own view too.
But the pen you see
is low on ink,
And its getting kinda scared.
With each stroke
The pen it sees,
Its ending creeping nearer.
My pen must be enchanted,
By the same muse
had hold of me.
Surely this must be magic,
to become
More than you can be.
But forces you to give it all,
You see my pen,
he doesn’t think.
So driven to scribble
and jot this,
That he just ran out of inl
The ugly kitten didn’t know -
He purrs.

The ugly kitten cannot see -
He sleeps.

The ugly kitten poor as can be-
He eats.

The ugly kitten all alone-
He dances.

---------------------------------------------

The ugly kitten smells a new smell -
He knows.

The ugly kitten sees her in his dreams-
He wakes.

The ugly kitten schemes and schemes-
He fasts.

The ugly kitten all alone-
He cries.
If I could control my feelings
I’d choose not to feel this way
I’d force it not to hurt
When you choose not to stay

If I could control my feelings
I’d not wear them on my sleeve
With my lovely feelings hidden
You’d be far less apt to leave

If you could control your feelings
Then you could feel some love for me
But with no control of feelings…
Our love can never be.
