Shut up shut up I can't hear you
I won't listen
Goodbye for today I'm off to the gloom
***** I said shut up
Not comin outta my room

If it wasn't illegal I swear I would punch you
Split them flapping lips maybe shut you up
For a bit
Make you wipe off all the spit and blood
Give me that look like I'm so awful

Shut up I Said
Can't you Hear Me
Screaming screaming
Curse you out
Only in my head?

Some night you're asleep
Pillow over your face
Pressed against your nose and that big mouth
Hold your arms down
***** shut you up for good.

I will take all that crap on your floor
Sweep all that **** right out your door
Bring down the mess I crammed in your attic
Haul it away without any static
All them things you folded that I threw back on the floor
I'll fold 'em again on the folds from before.

Wait a minute...what?
No, I ain't gonna do it now
Gonna take a shower
Maybe watch a little Fox on the tv
Play a few hours of scrabble on my iPad
I told you it'll all get done
Just not today maybe not tomorrow either

Hey, I am gonna take all them poems you write
Tease out all your dreams and ambitions
I bet you'll see we have a lot in common
Have the same goals and all that ****
Tomorrow you'll wake up and we'll have a new life
Just like the one you keep saying you want and saying you want

What, you think I'm some kinda dream weaver?
Just tell me what you want and I make it appear outta thin air?
I will give you a new life
Just as soon's I get my Fox watchin, Scrabble playin *** off this sofa
Now what did you say you wanted again?
I mighta put it up in the attic
Under all my other ****.

She made her entrance as
The Undisputed Queen
Underlings scrabbled
To see her, to be seen
She favored no one
Lest they favor her more
She sighed and she waited
To take over the floor

Striking a pose
High up on her stage
Bathed in the glow
Of her personal glory
She never perspired
Lest she grow tired
Playing her role
Cold as ice in a bowl

Losing herself
In an act of delusion
She couldn't hold on to her precious illusion
It slipped through her fingers
And out of her hands
Despite her persona
And her endless demands

The house lights were out
The crowd was long gone
No more props
No more set
For emoting upon
The moment was over
For the lines she had blown
She walked off of the stage
And she went home alone.

Your eyes are deep fried julienne
Potatoes upon which I rend
A plop of ketchup
Then I tend
To eat them one by one
With bliss
A crispy full tongued throaty kiss.
You say potato, I say fry it up!

I woke up last night
To a star burning bright
Such a feeling of grace
As I pictured your face
Beautiful Angel, Beautiful Girl
Heaven's Child no longer part of this world
How does it feel to be one with the sky
With your gossamer wings what's it like when you fly
Breaking the bonds of the sickness and pain
Way up over the sun and so far from the rain
Child of Heaven, Child of Light
I pray that your Mum knows you're up there tonight
But I have a feeling that you're not very far
And she'll see you each night in the face of a star
All those who love you are bathed in your light
You are home in the arms of the Angels tonight.
Rest in Peace, Angel Girl...forever in our hearts and souls

My kid just told me that I ****
So why do I have the urge to bite him?

Once I had a heart
But it shattered like glass
When you ridiculed me
About the size of my ***
Everyday recess
A personal hell
Sweating and fearing
The sound of that bell

I can't help
My only happiness is to fill my face
And of course I know
My size is a disgrace
But even though I'm huge
Can't you give me some space
Trapped in this torso
A huge lonesome place

Once I had feelings
But they froze just like ice
And no you don't have to tell me that twice
How enormous I am
Just once will suffice
Just once would be nice

Every day
You ridicule and taunt me
Every day
Your words my shame they haunt me
I pay and pay
But you never want me
To come and play
Everyday
I cannot get away

Shards of glass
My shattered heart
I chomp and I choke
My insides sliced apart
I am one big fat joke
It never ends

It
Never
ENDS...
