see the Moon shine in the north
eerie place
another world
planets circle the horizon
jewels in the crown of the Earth

no day
only night
but now

I see the Sun set in reverse
strange dawn
lights the mountains and glaciers
rose
it glows like hope
rebirth

Hey Blue
Looks like the tides have turned
Can you
Admit that times have changed?
I do
Believe in most of what you stand for
But
I have to say

I get
Why people felt betrayed
When your great dream
Was not delivered
And you stood by
As the piper
Led the children
To the river

Wake up Blue
No one will give you power
If you do not earn that
You've forgotten how to be persuasive
You need to relearn that

Return to when tolerance meant
More than ideology
Centrists were not the enemy
And neither was biology

And we didn't need all these labels
To decide who was more equal
We were people
And the people
On the other side were people

There is no reason to
Demonize people who realize
In evil times
It's not enough to be
The lesser of two evils

It's time to stop underestimating
What our fear is worth
Stop overestimating
How much people care about the Earth

Hey Blue
I am still one of you
But am I pure enough to be called Blue?
I guess that's up to you
One thing
That you still get to choose

argue with myself
because I want more
and I got more
and still want it

what's the point of that?
control myself
until I run out of logic

look outside myself
my vices line up to tempt me

in my mind I know I've had enough
but I'm hungry
not hungry

empty

I am made of nothing
and the nothing I am made of is
empty

empty as the sky
empty as the light

I am empty

god has no mind
god rolls dice
no one knows me
no one sent me

and the light shines right through me
and it shows me
I am empty

last night I had a dream

there was a trilobite
in the green grass

I saw myself
from atop a cliff

running through the forest
in a velvet dress

the me that was
up on the cliff

had an old fashioned camera
in my hand

I tried to take a picture
of myself

but the me in the forest
was just too fast

this whole **** thing
is all ****** up

I don't know how to help this

I don't

I don't know how to help
It makes me feel so helpless

if I involve myself in this
no matter if I'm selfless

I could just **** the whole thing up
so trying would be selfish

or is it selfish not to try
because I might **** up?

is it better to try and fail
trust blindly in dumb luck?

****

if I just knew more stuff
knew who to trust
if I knew

iF I JusT

**** that. I cannot.

I give up

****** up
no matter what

it's so hard
to believe

that anyone
could ever see me

the real me

and still want to
be near me

and still love me
and not fear me

and want to
stay with me

I am with you

but a part of me
is far away

inside my mind

frightened
hiding from the light

crawling through
this labyrinth

I built

to imprison my shadow

claws mark all the walls
some etched so deep

I can read by the light

too bright to find out
what's outside

the sky
or is it fire?

is my desire
too powerful to hold?

unmade

afraid to be made whole

I set limits
because I must
it isn't just a test
oh but
trust and believe
it is a test
you fail the test
you lose my trust
