I was hunted
By the things I’ve done wrong
I was placed on the evil side of the moon’s face
I can not control my way
I can not control your way
 
I have seen my own darkness
And now, I am just the rare child
Everyone seems to forget

I am confused
I am broken
But I am not lost

I am boring
Following the same routine everyday
I know it's not forever
But I am not lost

I am living
Walking on a crazy road
Like Alice in Wonderland
But I am not lost

I am moving forward
Never stopping
I don't know where I'm heading
But I am not lost

I am alive
I am free
But I am not lost

I could use another cigarette
My mind is skipping like a broken cassette
I normally don't think this way
You know, thinking long about my day

Is it because i'm stuck in this cubicle?
Dreaming of my life as a musical
Or is this a joke, almost like a sign
Telling me to venture past the state line

See, I've never been adventurous
Never really done anything dangerous
Is this really going to be my life?
What if I never become a wife?

Maybe it's time for me to run
Actually do something really fun
Travel to the seven wonders of the world!
I wonder if then, my life will unfurl

I'll leave tomorrow
and stop wallowing in sorrow
Oh wait, tomorrow doesn't work
I still have my job as a clerk

Next month then, it is set
I'll start small, I'll get a pet
But that's going to be some bad debt
Man, I need another cigarette.

A simple Haiku
In this cubicle at work
Nothing else in sight.

Palugput Ka!
It's something I've learned just today
From my older sister
You know? The one sister I have
That gave up a year of her life to god
lived away in a foreign land
Learning the sounds and smells by her senses alone
But ended up coming home
Because her health and mind just became
Palugput

Puhlug-Put-Kaw
Means you're ridiculous
My job
My family
My friends
My life
is Rid-ik-yew-lus
means palugput ka

But, if we're going to be
completely and utterly honest right now
Palugput Ka

I am an old pair of shoes
I wonder about the open world
I see the journey ahead
I want to someday escape
I am an old pair of shoes

I pretend to stand strong even when I'm falling apart
I feel the mud and snow of the world breaking me down
I touch the earth and how it's my advantage
I worry that I will be thrown away and forgotten
I am an old pair of shoes

I understand when to run and when to stroll through life
I say to take an adventure and never look back
I dream to become one with the earth
I try and accomplish my goals
I hope to never stop moving
I am an old pair of shoes

Walking silently and still into the light
Leaving this world and it's cruel way of life
Knowing now, that everything is alright

Feeling a deep sense of fright
Yet, having confidence deep inside my heart
Walking silently and still into the light

Striving every day, I've finally won the fight
Winning against the world and its cruel way of life
Knowing now, that everything is alright

Moments ago, saying my final good-night
To the loved ones around me, helping me through this hard time
Walking silently and still into the light

Seeing everything now as simple as black and white
Pulling through the battle between good and evil
Knowing now, that everything is alright

Slowly but surely taking my final fight
Smiling wide for all to finally see
Walking silently and still into the light
Knowing now, that everything is alright.
