Not sure if I'm right
Not sure if I'm thinking too much
But I'm just gonna wait
And sit here
To observe...
What if he knew about my thoughts?
                                                    
  ­                                    "What do you mean"?

I meant those ones that involve bad things.
                                                    
    ­                                  "Well, what do those bad thoughts include?"

I guess those ones that only crazy people think of...
                                                   
       ­                               "Like what?"

The ones that involve sad and love and God.
                                                   
        ­                              "All thoughts of God are crazy."

Well then I guess I am crazy. I guess we all are.
                                                   
        ­                               "And what of love?"

Forever, I suppose. Thoughts of forever.
                                                 
      ­                                 "Forever is an impossibility that clouds better judgment."

I guess I have horrid judgment then. I guess we all do.
                                                   
            ­                           "The talk of sad...and those?"

Death.....
                                            ­      
                                       "Death is for the weak. The ones that give up."

I guess I am weak, then. I suppose we all are.
                                                  
             ­                          "You are a crazy one. Different."

I get that a lot.
                                                 
              ­                         "But it is a good thing, I guess."

Why would that be?
                                                    
           ­                            "Because it means you are not afraid of those things."

I do not understand...
                                                   ­
                                      "You choose to think about that, therefore, you face the fear."

I suppose you are right.
                                           
                    ­                   "Of course I am."

Yes....of course.....
                                                   
 ­                                      "You are different because fear cannot taint you."

But oh, I am terrified.
She lived her life through black and white blogs
Through disposed razor blades and maroon dyed tiles
And drowning thoughts and death wishes

She would lie awake at night
Covered in sweat and dripping with tears
Because there was nothing she could do about her overbearing thinking

The only other escape was the fresh cuts which layered her skin
And the porcelain toilet that she memorized like the back of her throat
And the written death wishes that scattered the files of her brain

Nobody helped her though because she hid
Under the piles of sheets that covered her kingdom she called the Land of Escape
Where her dreams were more real than her life she could hardly handle

But then one night she finally disappeared forever into that Land of Escape
And she took a boat made of twisted rope tied tight by depression
Which then sailed down the smooth rivers of her endless, mindless, death row

And now she is to be found buried 6 feet under and burned to ashes to conceal bruises
The bruises left by her own wicked decision to stop the clamour of life
The bruises life left to stop the clamour of her own mind
the sun shines
and the sky is clear
like the colours of your eyes
though yours are a little darker
and i would spend
every single minute
of this day with you until
the goddesses bring out
their dark sheet for the night sky  

but oh, darling
you won't be beside me
and so i shut myself inside
waiting for you to come
which, i'm afraid,
will never happen

(c.r)
You know your old when,
you buy a two bedroom with a den,
and it never empties out.

You have dragged emotional baggage,
cleaning your ears to discover cabbage,
busting at the seams, zippers are stuck!

For the first time in your life, you have a plan,
right?, oh no, you got this far on fruit and bran,
okay cereal killer, bust a move and your hip.

Have you smiled yet?

I really want with certainty,
to give you three steps, not wishes, for eternity,
it IS really important some how.

Not that this is the end,
could be drawn out like torture,
what would you give up, in forfeiture?

I've tried to do it on my own, painful right to my bones,
I am not powerless, nor am I a legend in my own mind,
Some One did it for me, and he found me, in a bind.

Have you found Him yet,
hit refresh, until you do,
don't believe in just anything,
even some lies can be true,
that baggage, it may be your strength.
Oh the three steps...I know Who can help you with that,
starts with prayer... you and He will make it work.
Do you really expect to get the love of your life?

When you don't respect yourself,
You post half **** pics, and say
“I give bomb head,” and yet
You dare to expect respect

This generation is confused
The girls are over used and
The women are under used
And waiting like a bomb with a fuse, but…
No boy goes to these women
No, they flood these girls
And the men wonder,
“Where did the women go?”

But the boys and girls worry
He's worried about how moist she is
And she's worried about how big he is
But, they don't know about love to give...

Not the truly bright kind
Because it’s only for one night,
And another night,
And another night,
Until she’s pregnant and no one’s wife
And the boy has left out of sight,
Saying, “I don't know this girl,
And I don't care about what's right,
I didn't bring that child into this life”

Yes the boys and girls worry
The girls are worried about fashion and boys
The boys are worried about rapping and hoes
But they just don't know when the money goes
The “love” goes, and they’re alone

But the men and women worry,
O they worry about their glory
As ladies and men that stand
**** as one before her and him

They ask the question, this they do

Ladies before a man enters you, you ask him:
Are you doing this for fun or for love?

Men before you enter a woman, you ask her:
Are you doing this for fun or for love?

Still the boy, he ask the girl to lick on the tip
Still the girl, grinning she bends and licks
The edge, the gap, of the endless precipice

A countenance of messages from her mother was missed,
As he puts his flesh on hers and hers on his,
Consensual **** for two children as they are just that...
Children, and if you tell them, "You're too young!"
As they *** they'll be deaf, blind, and indeed dumb
As they succumb to that numb…

They feel no need to hear, but to repeat the actions for the feeling they seek,
And in that way we sink as humans deeper into the sea of self-treachery,
Feeling that this escape will bring happiness when the consequence is settling,
Upon us with STDs and *** and as I see it, our children's children will be,
A generation of children with children, and then the world will end

Till then this is my plea to the children of the night,
I want to help you find the light, and to fight the good fight,
But you all make my soul cry, and the well has begun to dry.
Watching as the seasons change
Such as acts in plays although
This is not a game but a claim
Not in the name of fame but
More towards what can be gained
When like souls jump from a like
Plane and follow a similar train
Of thought that can sustain
Pains that are more often faces
Between two insane minds that
Crave one another breathing heavy
As cranes that hold up the world
From unbreakable chains of bonds
That may at times leave one crazed.

However, who am I to say, a word?

One word can mean nothing
Yet, quite on the contrary it can
Come to mean each and everything
Even when the word is barely
Known or heard or even dreamed
Up by someone who screams
Of cursed missed opportunities
Or in some cases the hope that
Sunshine and the breath of life brings
To every being along these branches
And among the tallest of trees
That reach towards the heavens
Even without wings while wearing
Rings symbolic of the love between
Individuals living the fantasy in
A true and large reality that moves
In movie screens from scene to scene

However, will teachings be learned?

Children all about yearn for the
Chance to return to separate worlds
Of peaceful turns between friends
That wouldn't leave burns on ends
Of hairs and spur on sins as
Hate revolutionizes and revises
Love while churning the emotions
That lie within our children that learn
The unexpected and expect the
Devilish lies that lie in minds that
Spurn the solid earth as they earn
The opportunity of life in a hearse

However, my body lifts, and my mind drifts...
Smashed together
cracked, mixed, stirred
swirls of laughs, fears, habits
Heated, cooled, fried
like my insides.

Beauty is a child's game,
A lie they say.
And so I believed.
My world and all of it's nature
lost it's beauty.
But then one day,
months later,
There was you.
And you were beautiful.
You came into my world,
my empty, gray and numb world,
and showed me what beauty was again.
It was in every ray of sunshine,
every breath of fresh air,
every moment of light and laughter.
It was all in you.
The beauty of the world was in you.
And now....
you are my world.
