dancer of the clouds,
ink of dream,
as if the sky, hushed
and utterly forlorn,
turned a pirouette.

your eyes met mine like,
closing time.
the lights came on,  
and I went home.

You're a mess,
And I'm obsessed,
Just kiss me when you go.

We're still kids,
Don't you see?
I'm still sitting on the staircase,
Listening to you scream,
Waiting until it's safe to fall asleep.

My life has turned into moments on the staircase,
Heart tense,
Hands over my ears,
Biting back tears,
Wanting it to end.

running into the night
chasing dreams
with a bottle full of trouble by your side

passing streets filled with blood
searching for silver soldiers craving escape
to fight against a rising hell

when the dust has cleared
the rebels stand tall

the rebels have defeated the army
and a nation has been born

the nation of misfits

simply recalling better days before the torment of your perpetual tyranny that scratches at my soul

youre so frumpy mister, i don't know why you think we rely on you for criticisms oh sorry did you think they were optimisms? don't make me laugh. just hush your snarky mouth, your cruel tongue and calm your flashing eyes. take a look at the world around you, it's beautiful i promise, just open your eyes and see it how we do.

what would you rather..
a patchwork daughter full of stochastic emotions that bubbles up frequently in sadness, or one that's stony faced and glaring trying so hard not to snap out or yank off her marble facade?
it's a no brainer for you. you're supposed to care, but you don't. SO STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU DO, I CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR PETTY LIES.
this is a scramble, but it's nice, i kinda like it. it's just thoughts.

thoughts dancing like kites
whipped around in a fierce hurricane
feelings like black, rushing seas
throwing waves to the rocks, indignant.
expressing words the only way you know how
with your head thrown back, your eyes squeezed
shut. and screaming everything that you've ever known
to the blackness of the night-time sky

heavy standing bodies
glimpsing other worlds
that flash by so fast
that they're gone in an
instant. they call it the
future, but i'm still full
of apprehension, not
accepting what's to
come or what's already
been - but that's the past.
i don't know how to
word the thoughtfulness
surrounding it, but all
i can think about is the
fear of it. i'm tumbling,
stuck inside a whirling
mass of thoughts and
i don't know how to
feel about..
