***, drugs, and rock and roll
Keep out an eye for the pesky patrol
Pack your shoes and pack a bowl
Let’s pretend once more that I have a soul

I’m always up so I never come down
Curse the yuppies taking over this town
Laugh as the ceiling becomes part of the ground
And my skin turns into a greyish brown

My mind needs no cultivation
Nothing is worth the contemplation
Phony love, pills, and radio stations
Are all I need in this civilization

Come on, join the dark side
Lose yourself and line your eyes
Empty your head and fill it with lies
Of our fabricated, forced uniqueness enterprise
a satire

Earthquake
Maddy Balli Nov 2015
you were afraid of what we could become
addicted to destructive love
I've flirted with disasters but
You'll always be my favorite one

Like an earthquake you're sudden
a force I'm not worthy of
but a shift underneath
causes panic above

your unforeseen departure
left me five feet below
under rocks of desolation
in a deluge of woe

you tried, but never tried enough
always said you hated love
if I'd known what an earthquake could do
I'd rather be here than above

It's worth it though it sounds insane
I'm lucky to have known your name
you were something different
in a world that always looks the same
take it for what you will

Hesitant
Maddy Balli Nov 2015
Lights flash yellow, red, green
You’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen
Your eyes shone recklessly of immortal eighteen
They’re luring, persuasive, hypnotizing
I am stuck in a cycle of us, and then me. It’s terrifying, but I could not hide
Behind walls I built; the cement had not dried.
I tried.
Tried to keep you away, but now you’re inside.

This vulnerability was not what I wanted;
I was content with loneliness, to me this is new.
You said I’m too hesitant, too timid. it’s true.
But I think now I’m only part me, and part you.

Pills- blue, white, pink
“Love is a mirage, a marketing technique. A concept that gives humans a reason to keep going, keep searching. It’s just ignorant hope, a made-up belief.
Dependency is unnecessary, I never needed anybody. Love is a confectionary lie
Attempting to sweeten the cruelty of life.”

Love is an illusion that I wanted to stay an illusion
Love was a transfusion of your mind into mine
An illusion that I screamed wasn’t real as you held me tight and my bones begged you not to let go
A concept that has arms and legs and walked up, knocked on my door and said hello
I know now it’s real, but I just wish it would go
Away.
Because you left with my soul, now I have no control.


Cause I gave you everything, and I have nothing left.
I know you weren’t new to this, a heart and soul theft
I have an uncontrolled tendency to imagine you somewhere far away from me, and I’m nothing but a memory. An out of tune melody that plays here and there.
And I hope you’re reminded of the one begged you to stay far away from her soul. but you broke in, took all that you could carry and fled.

— The End —
