My head, my heart, they are empty,
producing, containing nothing.
Yet, they are stuffed to the max,
flooding with thoughts, emotions, worries, hopes.
How can one be so empty, yet so full?
I am a ghost existing,
alive and dead in this twisted world.
They drain us of vitality and fill us with emptiness.
We are the lost.
Don’t bother looking for us,
we are already gone, found.
I cried for you last night again,
...and swore it'd be the last
Then as I slept I dreamt of you,
...and tears fell twice as fast
I would have liked to meet
Edward Lear
his limericks are very sweet
and marvellously dear.

He would have gladly welcomed me as a friend
as my surname is Lim---close to lim-erick
we would have had fun to no end
and I would have  acquired his every unique poetical trick
Thanks to Nigel Finn, a fellow-writer
a fool
came to my town
having no knowledge
of cacti

he was
greatly impressed
by a certain flower on a
cholla

before i
had a chance
to warn him, he put
his hand to the plant
and proceeded to breathe
deeply of the scent of
the bloom

"Ooouch!"
the obvious happened
i then proceeded to ask him
how it smelled

"It was the most beautiful fragrance
I have ever inhaled!" he said


So.
*who was the fool?
Try something new, even
if you may at first be afraid

Use caution, but sometimes
you could be pleasantly surprised!

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE DRUGS
OR ANY SELF HARM BEHAVIOR

DON'T BE SILLY
AND STICK YOUR FACE
IN A CACTUS!

Cholla: the bristiest and
most unforgiving of all cacti

I want to escape from my sadness
It's taking over me
Why can't I just rest?
Why won't it let me be?
I just want to be free.
Some call it crazy
Some say it's sick
But I think it's freedom.
The blade is sharp and cold.
Sorry my vein.
Even my mother does not know me
She only sees who she wants to see.
Cut my arm,
Is the only way to escape.
Do they realize their actions affect me so?
I don't know..  I don't know...
If I told you why I did it,
you would not understand.
who would even care if I died?
no one!
Hey tears i am still smiling....
