We are e(i)ther
On top of the world
Or pi(c)king up the pieces
There is no inbetween
No sh(a)des of grey
O(n)ly black or white
Only euphoric or broken
(T)hey say you should
Love deep(l)y
Or n(o)t at all
But i(s) it possible
To lov(e) someone too much?
I'm not sure of an(y)thing
All I kn(o)w is
I don't think I'll be able to
S(u)rvive
If my already fissured heart
Cracks clean in two(.)

Me
Maybe I'm done being
Just a nobody
Waiting for my voice to be heard
People to point and whisper
Its her.

I'm done being just a shadow
A face in the faceless crowd
Im gonna fly like a sparrow
And drown the chatter out.

People are going to freeze
When they hear me speak.
Or so thats the plan
But I'm the white crayon,
And there no more more black paper.

Im so done leading,
This useless life!
Can't make people smile,
Can't end the fights.

So watch me rise!
Watch me reach my peak!
Make a new mountain,
In only a week.

Never stop rising,
Stop being the best me.
At least thats the plan,
The brightest crayon.

A new dawn, a new day...
The sun rises, like a ball of fire lighting up the sky
It looks like the start of a beautiful day
Then why the overwhelming fear taking over my mind and body
My hands shake, my mind is racing...
Is it my dreams haunting me, or anticipation of the day?
What happened last night, I have no memory...
I look around the room
It looks familiar
Where is my love?
I see an empty bottle on the dresser
I look around the room with urgency, vision still blurry
Then I see it
My love, calling me, ready to caress me and take away the fear
I take the first drink
My fear disappears, my body stops shakng
My love is holding me tight
I can't let go
A new dawn, a new day
My love will keep me safe, for at least another day

Inconclusive the evidence presented
Behind a smile a doubt remains
I shrug my shoulders
And shed my conviction
Judgments of absolution
For now abstain
If
One
More
Person
Tells
Me
To
"Stay Strong"

I improvised on the whole "ten words" simple technicality, deal with it.
Black smoke on chimney tops, curling around clouds
Sliding down roofs.

Black smoke. A sky full.
Choking, fighting, eucalyptus cremation.
Black houses.
Empty black houses.

Black smoke from a cathedral top,
White fathers assembled under golden canopies.
White smoke?
Uncertainty,
Hope.
Then,
Black smoke.

Thousands of flickering candles under the smile of a statue.
A wind.
Lights out.
On the face of the Madonna,
Black smoke.
A collection of random images which sprung to mind at the sight of some black smoke.

I know
a man
with dirt
on his clothes
that
people avoid
wherever
he goes
he carries
a shovel
and everyone
knows
whenever he
digs
an epitaph
grows.
