Minor chords,
Used to play on my heartstrings,
And clog up my throat,
With tales of fake truths,
And the firm-standing webs of no way out.

Dissonant thoughts,
Used to confuse my brain,
And split it in two,
Because it was made brittle,
By the "right" and "wrong" etched before understood.

Until I found that with the same strings,
And the same voice,
I could find truth.

Let's play a game!
Okay
Not again

We're soldiers in the army!
Cool!
Not again

Let's shoot those bad men!
Yeah!
This isn't fun

Oh no! You're wounded! I'll help you!
Thanks so much, friend!
Friend, really?

There you go, you can rest on my bed
I need it, thanks.
Here we go again

Oh no! Someone's taken your bed now! I guess we'll have to sleep together tonight
Doesn't sound too bad
Yeah...sure it will

The rules say we have to sleep without clothes, oh well.
Ah well, we're both guys, it'll be fine.
Since when has that rule existed?

Oh it's so cold! Can I sleep closer to you?
I'll keep you warm
No you won't! Get up and go home!

My lips are cold
No
No

Too late, I win again

So many,
I'm on the edge,
Of running away from,
All the fear and,
Dark thoughts,
That make me sick,
That I know aren't "right",
But I can't escape the fact,
That I defy common sense,
Or common courtesy,
To paint a face,
And be content,
At least in public,
No!
I am not content,
I am different,
I am me,
Which is not who I was told to be.

And
Blue and yellow
Pink and green
Red and purple
Outdoor and furniture
Indoor and grass
Attic and basement
Nothing and something
Doesn't have to make sense
To have an impact
Does it?

We played frisbee on green
Acting the age of teens
Drinking alcohol and air
The time is late
As we troop through the gate
And go home
Our group laughing at the fun we had
Throughout the night

If my knee high converse are making you nervous
*Don't worry. It's not the boots that bite. It's the face that does.

Stop.
Tell me.
Everyone is crying.
Please.
