Why is life so sad?
is it because i'm naughty or bad?
Why can't people see what i do?
My stories, my artwork
Each one brand new.

Why can't people see what i see?
My dreams and ideas that need to be free.
Why do these people hate me so?
Am i grotesque or ugly..well...yes or no?

My voice is not heard,
I am much like a bird.
A plain bird...not pretty
Not outgoing or witty.

But a bird who gets missed,
And is not on the list,
Of specials, or rarest,
Or biggest, or fairest.

But a bird who sits quiet,
And very alone,
No longer important,
Not noticed, unknown.

YOU!
you kissed me through a window!
what were you thinking?
you nearly pulled me off the balcony!
Not to mention my creeping vines
do you have any idea
how long it took me to grow those?!
Romeo......

Did you seriously just say
"where for art thou"
i mean come on...
you follow me home every day
i'm not ust your Juliet you know
Romeo.....

STOP TRYING TO TELL ME IT'S THE NIGHTENGALE!
it's obviously the lark
it's my alarm clock
you also have my bed curtains
and unless you intend to make me
like....
a night gown...
those are silk
Romeo.....

I think if this keeps up
i might just put myself to sleep.

Take these perfect tears
Take them please
I hae their shine
Their glimmer

The way they fall off my face
Catch their descent
Steal their salty life
From under my eyes

With all the sleeves stained with red
With all the scars
These tears
Have brought

Grant me sleep
And with this sleep
Take my eyes
So they may never cry

And with the morning
Take my heart
So never will i feel
Those perfect tears again.

first the legs
twisting
and
crunching the bones
so that i can't kick
you where it counts.

then the arms
snapped
in
two different ways
so that i can't
fight back.

after that comes the torso
ribs
crushed
into tiny pieces
pieces that will cut apart
my lungs.

finally my face is the last to go
i think
you
enjoy my pain
watering in my eyes
the eyes that go suddenly blank.
