Stress in my eyes
Stress in my head
Stress in my hands
Stress in my chest

You do not know the stress you bring
When you text me a text
Or ring me a ring

You don't understand the stress you carry
When you look at me
And say, "Don't worry."

When the pain in your life transfers to mine
The love in my heart
Is stretched and confined

I love you much, I love you so,
But the stress in my chest
Stops the love from its flow
For she who has stopped feeling my love, the love I want to give so badly, and doesn't understand why.

Boy of smiles
Who knows no fears
Boy of kisses
Who wipes my tears
Boy of laughs
Who knows it all
Boy of hugs
Who awaits my call

Boy of love
Boy of dance
Boy of music
Boy of happiness

Boy is he
Who much loves me
But I have used
This boy for me
Regrets of having used someone for a feeling.
I'm sorry.

"Listen to the Book!" they say,
"Listen to the Book!
It tells you all the answers,
So go and have a look!"

So I went to see the Book,
The mystic creature of old
And all I found was dust and stone
And pages lying cold

I asked the book a question then
Its only answer silence
I looked for the switch to turn it on
In hopes to find some guidance

"How will I live,
How will I die?
Will I be rich,
Or poor and high?"

"How many things
Will I get this year?
How many women
Will I buy a beer?"

"Will I have kids,
or several wives?
Will I live a long
And happy life?"

The Book just sat
Speechless then
It had no answers
I lost my grin

"This thing is stupid"
I thought aloud,
"It has no answers!
That man was a clown."
_

I walked away from the Book that day
The book of knowledge and thoughts
I walked with anger at this silly Book
But my imagination it had caught

I wondered about that Book
And the answers it had kept
I could think of nothing else,
My curiosity it had swept

When I was old and humble
My mind still filled with Book
I decided one more time
To go and have a look
_

I approached it slowly,
This time unsure
It seemed different this time,
Its knowledge did lure

I peeked around
Its rotting bind
In hopes it bring me
A peaceful mind

But all I saw were words and words
Words on pages, not there before!

But weren't they there?
So long ago?
Did I even look?
Was I ignorant so?

I read through the pages,
All slowly, but at once!
It was glorious and terrible,
How could I have been so dunce?

I found them all,
All the answers I need!
Not to the questions before,
But to the questions I need!

I must go, and tell a young soul
This is glorious and awesome,
They all must know!

"Listen to the Book!" I say,
"Listen to the Book!
It tells you all the answers,
So go and have a look!"

How do you do?

Come through the door.

Come and sit.

You've come so late!

What is it then?

Ten, Nine

I hope you're fine.

Eight, Seven

Oh, bless my heavens!

Six, Five

I almost died!

I'll leave you be.

Goodbye, son!
Or "Talking to Mother"

Summer is a time of fun
A time of song
A time of sun
A time for smiles
A time for hugs
A time for flowers
A time for bugs

Summer is a happy time
A time that loves
A time that shines

In the beginning was me

I would sing my songs
And wear a smile
I would dance and dance
In circles 'till tired
I was as happy as could be
For I was nothing
But wonderful me

But then there was the lie
__

In the beginning there was me
Just me and the lie

Wherever I went
The lie went too
When I was sad
The lie would be also
And when I was angry
The lie would be angry as well
And the two of us felt just swell

It was me and the lie
The lie and me
And that is how it was
__

In the beginning there was us
I became it
And it I
Until there was no difference
Between me and the lie
We cut and we swore
And we rattled our chains
Together, not two,
But one in the same
It roared, I roared
It gnashed its teeth and so did I
Until I grew tired tired tired
And let out a sigh

Then it was no longer me
Just the lie
__

In the beginning was the lie

It would scream and yell
And throw a fit
It would stare into darkness
And sometimes just sit
There was no happy, no smiles, no laughs
There was only and angry rage
That burned and burned
Like the eyes of a lion
Pacing its cage

It was no longer I
Only the lie
In the end

I chant, I chant this song to you
A little tune to wiggle to
You clap your hands and shake your ***
Then give your friend a sticky one

Sing and shout, I know you can
Come on up and join the band
BASH and BANG on drums and stools
Sing your name out like a fool

Stomp your feet to your own **** beat
Rage won't quite till you take a seat
So stand and dance to this ****** tune
I want to die and SO DO YOU
