I'm hardly a boy, yet I'm hardly a girl Fooling around, figuring out what to do Meandering so, can't save you now! Face your problems, with the brave of a shrew. There's nothing left to look forward to You've beat the game, what more do you want to do? The curtains sway As you give a bow Shutting you out From the audience, who, Applaud as you grin While the curtains are due Leaving you on the stage that you grew on

So we may be taken — there   without further adieu, As the morning sun — shines   on the morning dew.   Irremediably     connecting two dots,   In immediacy,     what we have lost! Among the lunatic — and   the natural fraud, We stand unprepared — so   ready to applaud.   Irremediably     connecting two dots,   In immediacy,     what we have lost!

In Immediacy (2017)
Open the curtains to the show Bow down politely What do you know? Strings tangled up Wrapped all around Spinning me Twirling me Making me dance Dance to the beat of the fingers Twisting the strings Bending me like rubber All for the plastic applause of the audience Clap clap for whoever's on stage Smiles are painted Cheers are fake Idolize me for my body For my face If you don't turn out like me You'll be a disgrace

Bow for Barbie Dolls
The praise of reflections were but a mirage of recommended                                           echoes fading. That collected in the coroners, that praised the failings of empty                              glorified nothingness

False Compliments
Everyone speaks A million miles an hour Each word Growing more empowered They think saying more, Competing, interrupting Proves that they know more And won't be thought of as nothing Well I'm the bird That tries to tweet When thunder crashes And lightning streaks Won't take the time To hear my thoughts So all I do Is smile and nod But that's okay, No worries here, Won't seek validation From a strangers ear Your hot air fills the room While you seek your applause I know my worth, applaud myself So I just smile and nod

Smile and Nod
I don't care about A standing ovation Or a storm of applauding Faceless crowds All I care about is being applauded By the right people
