Across this room,
                                     your vibrations are loose,


                  weaving into mine.
10 word memory.

I crunch out poems...
Stick them to my fingertips...
Gasp them in my sleep.

That smell
of burning skin
like the way I felt when lying
on the bathroom floor

is not the same
as the hollow places
when I take up only a fraction
of the vastness in these bedsheets

but the worst part
is that metallic taste
of bitter end
with every single breath I take

when I can't shake off
the sheets of blood
or knowledge
of what I've become.

Shock me soundly, brittle bird
crunch me under stained glass shards
  crash my plane of what's unheard
breaking me hard.

Acquaint me soundly, brittle bird
make the song of an empty sea
strip me bound of all I learned
falling me free.

Sleep me soundly, brittle bird
dream me of hallow and point crest
squeeze and shake out saintly words
filling my rest.
If anyone wonders the weights and ideation behind my name, here is a small poem. Originally inspired by the song 'Red' by Lost In The Trees; which I think is absolutely beautiful.

We won't be part of
your social pollution,
but will be part of
the solution.


                                        We are the confrontation
                                                   ­             and the fight,
                                        the declaration
                                                     ­    of human rights.


We won't appeal to
your expectation
or narrow our minds to
your "education".



                                         We are the rebellion,
                                                  your­ red flag of the news,
                                        though toleration
                                                   and a merging of views.


We will not weaken
under discrimination
or be products of
your degradation.

                                        
         ­                               *We are the revolution
                                                      ­      and the sign,
                                          the liberation
                                                    to­ step out of line.
A few films of inspiration: 'Pump Up The Volume', 'Teenage'(a documentary), and 'Cloud Atlas'...(for Sonmi-451<3)

Does anyone else feel like saving the world and burning it all down at the same time? No, not really the latter...I've just been particularly angry with choices which people of high influence have been making. I know we can be so much better than this. I'm so ready for our generation to bring to life what we keep dreaming of... but I'm so tired of feeling helpless to the whims of this.
