Edited by Maple, because mine was a rant nobody but she was supposed to indulge. Hahaha. See. I wasn't intending on trending.

I knew a wretched person once. And then. She died.

Now. Condoning death is the fastest method for becoming THE social pariah - for future reference.

But my god. I hated her. I really did. Not simply me; most of our peers felt similar. At least, they did till it was no longer *appropriate.


See. Morgan was a ruthless psychopath.
And then she was dead.

Now. As a stranger, if you were to lurk her Facadebook, you'd think she'd been some ethereal messiah. Her web page is now trampled with laments. Kinda like the stampede that killed Mufasa. Her present facadebook now marks a day the devil became synonymous with our homegirl, Momma Teresa.

In what world, right?

The details of the fatality remain insane. Ranging from Ketamine to ******. But I won't illustrate them. Go see it yourself - on Doctor ******* Phil.

And they call me crazy.



Anyways.

I'm sorry, but she was a maniacal parasite with love like shrapnel. She destroyed her lovers, her family, her arsenal of friends by habit. And she did this for fun. So, again, I'm sorry. Sorry I am hardly sorry she died.

That's a lie, though. I'm not sorry at all.

Karma is candy. I'm happy she's gone. Never again to crumple and crush her loved ones to mush as mere eggs to her morning omelette.

And our world is a happier place.

Sue me.

For Maple Syrup because I'm sick of memorializing the dead simply for dying.  

Sue me.
Have you ever heard the birds sing?
Everyone is always listening to
Lifeless steel hanging at their side;
It follows as they switch their hip
And walk on by. Sometimes, I wonder,
Why haven't you heard the birdsong?

And now, it seems,
I'm only here for the stars
And the moon that I hope
Can defrost my aching heart.

fresh faced, seventeen year old wonder.

pull me under the waters of the country in
which you were born: render me asunder with
the hands your mother gave you.

drive that brand new, older-than-me car across the
ocean straight to me

Reign
The words swept me off my feet
No longer in the place where the shadows sleep
Facing the fear of getting attached to you
I can't explain how you made me feel like i do

The one and only woman, she did, showed me what genuine love is
She haven't had the slightest idea about it
It was the right person at the wrong place and time
No photographs were taken to rekindle in my mind

Labels are unnecessary
She had me at my lowest but she treated me like i showed the best of me
It was at the point that my feet is on ledge about to fall into abyss
But i felt like i'm on top of the world when i'm with her

She is the only 'what could've been' case that i truly regret.
I wonder how you could make me smile when i am a man full of hate
Your world is full love that makes me wonder why you need mine
The sun shines on you wherever you go
I'm a candle that is slowly melting it's life away
Yet her eyes glinted a mend for my broken soul

I'm lost for words every time you speak to me.
The feelings tried to spill out of my mouth
Like trying to get out in a small door all at once
Eventually nothing comes out


I would give everything to see that smile
Sometimes it's everything i need
It gives me joy and i wanted to say thank you for that
But nothing lasts forever, i knew that now

We will never be together
It hurts but you can never have everything in this world
I'm just here hoping to find someone as good as you
In the right place and time
Dress for success.
Oh really?
Can I wear my tight skinned pants?
The questionable shirt that makes judgmental eyes
Shift back and forth with haste?
Oh, I can be cool too!
Let me just speak my outdated slang
Slipping out like word *****.
"What's good shawty?"
Oh no! Not that! Please!
Use correct English when you address me mam.
Who me?
I'm still that young girl.
So excited for parties that she stays up all night in anticipation.
The one that gets butterflies when the right person looks her way.
Yes I am an adult.
I can be responsible when I have to be.
I can also choose when I don't want to be anything but silly.
Giggling till the oxygen in my lungs is ****** out like a vacuum.
I am anything but serious.
I refuse to let my Peter Pan ways escape the eternal youth I call my life.
I am a YOUNG adult!
Would you expect anything less?
