heavy place to hold
kristyn brown Jun 2010
brilliantly cowardice
a flavorful juxtaposition
hellishly gagged and bound
in the confines of that tiny apartment

a stirring genius
against the will of the Heavens
wasting away

such a heavy pressure
you are nothing in this town
staggering that slim line
between glory and crazy

often on this side
less than often on that
well for the art of it all
they say

for the sake of  the art
or for sanity
or vulnerability
or  fear
always coming back to fear.

Where is Home
kristyn brown Jun 2010
The tones in your voice are shards of glass
pressed against my skin in the most painful way

Breathtaking views of who you could be flash before my eyes
like old home videos somehow would

That place where I used to go that brought me so much joy
so much peace, is now a stranger, and I'm so sad

You're just  a clown now, performing  the old dance we used to do
together, but you dance alone this time, looking like a fool to me.

I have no idea who I am anymore,
I've gotten so lost in this big city
and I cant remember for the life of me
Who I was.
How I got here.
Where is home.

— The End —
