Jan 2011
Drapped in her glitter
Covered in shimmer
What matters most of all?
Mind on empty
What sets me free?
Waiting, wanting the fall

Cradle silhouettes choking
Memories' fire smoking
How do you escape hell?
"Do as you're told
Do nothing bold"
Damnation preaching they sell

Fragile disposable teen
To the world, lost and unseen
Throwing her life away
Dreams, parasite infected
Her wings, her voice dissected
Escape? "Not today"
