Quiet on the rooftop
Lay back with me
and watch the stars
watch us
breathe in the cold air
and wish on
galaxies

Turned into a god overnight
the first command handed down by Me
is death
to all who were cruel to Me.
Emotionless, watching my enemies burn
I smile upon My handiwork
until I Myself begin to choke.
And as I pass out of this feeble existence
the end of My short reign
My final thought is
I hope you're happy.

Mirrors
are like little pools
through which your reflection swims
to greet you.
She gazes at you, matching the look
in your eyes
as you unknowingly play with her.
She knows she can't breathe
outside her silver void.
She knows you can't
see her world.
So she is content, following your movements
perfectly.
And when you leave her alone,
she moves away
hanging her head when she knows
you're not looking
at her.

Licenses to ****
Permit to lie
It's illegal
To see through another's eye

Unified opinion
On touchy subjects  
God has forsaken you
Like other earthly objects

The lame
Are not to blame
But the smug
And proud
Listening to themselves talk
Alittle too loud

*** May sell
Alas it's a ticket to hell
******* and romance
Are in less demand
A bullet fired into the air
Knows not where to land

Band together
Like atoms
In a molecule
In the hand that pulls the lever

The answer to life is scribed on a note card
In a locker left unlocked
Left ajar
In the rain

I don't know why I did it.
It just seemed right.
The pain,
The addiction,
The feeling of grief that I just can't fight...

Though I do know why I did it:
The depression,
The sadness,
The heartache,
The madness,
The memories of trauma,
The ecstasy of panic,
The bitterness of anger,
A mind gone manic.

You told me I was crazy,
That I could never be happy,
That I was insane.
Now you keep me caged,
So you can play with my brain.

White rooms with white doors,
White ceilings with white floors,
I was locked inside a white palace,
I was ******* caged inside a white palace.

I can still feel the needles,
Leaving and entering my skin as they pleased.
I can still remember the nurses,
Looking at me as if I were diseased.
I wanted to get out,
I would scream at them,
But it was like I was speaking in tongues,
Trying to tell them that I was okay,
But their monotonous reply:
"Not today."

If only I had ended it all in the beginning,
I wouldn't be here anyway.


I felt like a lab rat,
Tested and controlled.
I had no feelings or voice,
I was just another speculatory exhibit,
A rat in a cage without a choice.
I felt like a prisoner,
Kept under constant watch
In a jail full of other inmates,
Contaminating the place with their moods of melancholy,
Some not knowing what awaits.

I remember wandering the lonely corridors,
And looking out a thick glass window,
Thinking of the world outside,
And the hot cement below.
I hadn't seen the sun for what seemed like years,
I longed for my love to dry my tears,
But my love had left me on the eve of my arrival here.

Finally the day came when I was released.
I had escaped!
Pale, shaken, and slightly aged,
But even after I inhaled my first fresh breath of freedom,
I was still caged.
