Ignored in the reflection
Kept in a blind spot or below
Conscious thought
But when the light falls wrong,
Or her eyes search too hard,
They are painted in grating contrast
Screaming out against the skin
Restoring their past pain to view
And to heart
And in that reflection
The only highlights are flaws
Flaws that remain
Flaws that remind her
But do not define her
Unless she lets them
.
*Dawn of mind, riding spirited dragon,

Broken claw of falling moon, still in sky,

Flash and roar of blinding Eastern sun,

Hiking the crest, on chains of mountain.

It is the distance
That made him distant


Reiteration of what is obvious.
Where I used to be deep and dark she just calls me evil... Well I say I'm the devil.
               "You're actually malicious"
      I'll admit my intentions are suspicious.....
Manipulative ******* use their fingers to keep the world spinning.
There once was a Donald from Brooklyn
Sought fame–like a chef adores cookin'
He bought and sold stuff
It was never enough
Our next Prez, just says,"Hah-caught ya lookin'!"

there's something happening in my brain
it's causing me to stop and drain
my hopes are out
and without a doubt
i must keep pushing through all of the pain

clouds are starting to surround the moon
i guess that means it's close to noon
my mood is low
with no place to go
i guess i'll try and stay till june.

there was a day when i had a cat
he was as silly as can be until he went splat
the poor old boy
he just wanted his toy
it's a shame he was such a brat.
