When you don't know Where to go When you feeling all alone Look inside yourself There's so much more than you know When you're stuck and out of time You can cross the finish line You're a champion You're always be a winner

Shooting Stars
Im a barbie girl, in this barbie world It's fantastic, everyone's plastic You cannot feel me their Why do you think you can stop and stare ********** me with that, imagination. I post daily, fooling everybody That I am perfect. It's horrific. Convorting myself into this typical dumb blond chartor. Glaze upon my skin as it is flawless Little do they know it's stage makeup and filters I have many scars on the inside. I am starving, but cannot dream to take a bite Got to pretend that my body is perfect. Im a barbie girl, in this toxice world I am drowning, but the waters plastic You cannot feel me their But you could not care ********** me quickly, it's fantastic. Telling all the little girls thats i'm so happy And this is their dream life While hiding in the corner hating every part of myself. Somebody save me from this glitter nightmare. I'm stuck inside this dollhouse The walls won't break They just dress me up, because my lifes a game But jokes on them, my blond is fake. I hate my pretty pink prison. Im a barbie girl living in a hell world, It is honestly fantastic, no my heart is plastic You maze well touch me their and undress me anywhere Now I have realized no one really cares.    Yes im a barbie girl, living in a barbie world I am now an addict , it's fantastic No one want to stop and stare No one wants to feel me there When I'm washing down the pain with pills and drinks.

When I grow up I want to be just like Barbie
___FLUFF:___ _Frequently, I discover words with hidden meaning, shining like coins in a handful of fluff, apple seeds and other down-the-back-of-the-sofa leavings. Some are too precious to share and I secrete them away. Others I spend cheaply on rigged slot machine verbiage. Mostly they sit waiting to be written usefully. Adding insight, lending moment to my day._ § ___NONSENSE:___ _Foraging amongst the dahlias For Cinderella’s lost slipper, I am Barbie magic made manifest, I am Germaine (sodding) Greer’s antifem, I am Super Mum with gumboots on._ § ___ABSURDITY:___ _The best nonsense is always spoken in the middle of the afternoon while heading north on a train bound for a smallish beige town, and so it was that the occupants of second-class carriage BG1754 found themselves gripped by a kind of eloquent hysteria as they rattled around the final bend in the tracks before the steep descent to the weatherboard station at Claggy Peat._

Fluff, Nonsense & Absurdity
Let There be Barbies Let the children have their night of fun and laughter. Let the gifts of Father Christmas delight their play. -Churchill, Christmas Eve radio address, 1941 Some young mothers ban Barbies and Santa Claus And all such trinkets and dolls and mummeries Sacrificing childhood to fashionable gossip - In obedience to the Holy Internet A toy Cochise must never ride again Or little plastic soldiers defend their forts Or Maid Marian roam with Robin Hood – Barbie must never be dressed for success Little children can now sit on the floor On Christmas morn to play with ideologies

"Whoever thou mayest be, beloved stranger, whom I meet here for the first time, avail thyself of this happy hour and of the stillness around us, and above us, and let me tell thee something of the thought which has suddenly risen before me like a star which would fain shed down its rays upon thee and everyone, as befits the nature of light. - _Fellow man! Your whole life, like a hourglass, will always be reversed and will ever run out again_, - a long minute of time will elapse until all those conditions out of which you were evolved return in the wheel of the cosmic process. And then you will find every pain and every pleasure, every friend and every enemy, every hope and every error, every blade of grass and every ray of sunshine once more, and the whole _fabric of time_ which makes up your life. This ring in which you are but a grain will glitter afresh forever. And in every one of these cycles of human life there will be one hour where, for the first time, one man, and then many, will perceive the mighty thought of the eternal recurrence of all things: -|- and for mankind this is always the hour of Noon" )|( when the _One True Queen of the Universe_ is Crowned. )|(

i must plaster on chemicals and colors, to be beautiful. i am required to be plastic, prim and proper, servants in my own lives, always being and thinking, and doing, exactly what i'm told. i am a doll, a tool, only there for the joy and service of others, just because i was born as i am, something in which i have no control.

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
I live In a cardboard cutout house Our plates and silverware Are plastic The food adorning them Plastic as well Glossy and vibrant But poisonous if consumed No water will pour From the sink or tub If you try to turn The handle The plants are fake The dog is fake The microwave won't turn on The floor looks wooden                            (which may be the case) For there is no carpet                            in sight No decor to behold I try to pull back The sheets on the bed Only to find That they're entwined-- Attached to the mattress That feels more like Pottery I lean down to see                            "Made in China" Etched on the side Of the frame My footsteps echo Down the hall On the wooden floor Of the cardboard cutout house Until I finally see Something living Something real Until I get close. Her skin is matte Her eyes are dull Her teeth are chalk white Her hair (maybe made from silk?)                            sits perfectly in place She is positioned with a smile--                            Her vinyl arm bent at the elbow                            Masquerading a friendly wave She is merely a sculpture                            A doll of a human being Filled with wax instead of tissue Factory made, not a product of Love(TM) I escape Away from the figurine Mother The clay bed Hard floors Prop kitchenware and Plastic food Because a cardboard cutout house                            is not a home.

Mattel gave us Barbie and Ken, They never grew old, according to them, But, can you handle reality? Barbie and Ken are now over fifty! Barbie is fat with varicose veins, With hairy legs, not so vain, And Ken shall never see his toes again, His six pack has turned into a beer belly, Walking makes Ken quiver like jelly, But, hey, they're forever Mattel, Barbie's too old to say, "Ken, go to hell!" Sad, but true, our childhood friends, Yet they did grow old, Barbie and Ken........

Reality Check
Perfect: I used that word once to talk about you as if you were a doll with limbs made of plastic: stiff and whimsical and subject to the niggardly commands of the conscious- yet you, who thinks as aggressively as any doll-house builder do not construct your own set-pieces; instead you pirouette into one carefully constructed day to the next as you delicately stride from bed to shower to wardrobe to mirror to desktop to window to mirror to mirror to mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all- and the staid look on your face when the mirror gives no answer because it can’t. Checkered skirt, sharp eyelashes, wary jumper, almost heels. Perfect, you might think for a moment before your eyes roll gently from self to mirror to self to mirror to mirror the self. What was it that you were looking for if all it does is lead you back to your skin? Meanwhile, the snow stutters softly from above as if God had dandruff- perfect- and it all gently glazes the spongy surface of the world like flawless coconut icing on some sorry party cake- perfect- and the morning bell rings impossibly on time like the last breath you thought was your last- perfect- and somewhere in America I use words to remind you of the little unreachables of perfection that both start and end with your perfectly snow-pale skin, where somewhere in America and somewhere on your thighs perfect ridges of red have formed themselves like plastic scratches on a Barbie which we both think are little but we both know are big because you are not plastic.                                                At nighttime our feet skip on the icy brick pathways that lead from the dorm-rooms to the library and we shiver as the snowflakes bob in and out of our bodies like thoughts that seem funny but aren’t quite- they melt away as soon as they stumble upon our skin. From our mouths cloudy puffs of being flutter out- little butterflies affirming out listless snowflake-filled minds, sperming out ice-clouds from our mouths, our mouths, our mouths; birthing friendship. Breath, visible, is laughter. I trip and swear and momentarily skate across a sudden ice-surface as you speak another ice-breath. We arrive at the library but dart towards the empty right-side, the science classrooms. We hope to examine the thought-skirmishes on your right thigh, to turn   and change this hopeless world-spinning into centrifuge separation- make apparent the light from the dark                         the firmament from the void                         the flesh from the plastic, the- here we are as you talk about your family and I try my best to look you in the eye so I can become your eyes even when normally I am so vehemently against staring at the soul-gates of another being- here we are as you talk; God is still missing from the centrifuge of the endlessly turning world- your axis is your skin yet you trust it not. The salads without dressing,         the weighing scales,         the taste of bile at the back of your throat- all for skin that        you do not       trust. All for flesh that you think is plastic so      you      cut.                     Enough talk because the bell cuts through the flesh of our conversation. Enough talk because the world insists on turning still and forcing us to revolve with it. Enough breathing, enough snow, enough life. I remember you saying that the ratios of your face are wrong; that certain equilibriums do not exist between your cheeks your lips your eyes your life…I remember the science classrooms where parts of you were as mathematical as the architecture... I remember how you keep thinking your flesh is plastic… You forget how inglorious the nature of these words is. The problem with human thought, with the ratios of your face, with the geometric structures that cut across your thighs, with the statistical neatness with which your family decomposes; the problem with our conception of perfect is how awkwardly it both exists and does not exist for us to see. The ratios of your face which you think are broken are the same miracles I wonder about as you laugh. The incorrect distance from your cheek to your eye which you think is wrong is the same lightyear which separates the stars from the planets. The curvature of your stomach is the bending of a spacetime to accommodate the way the air must move to let your body occupy the space and time in which it exists. The ratios you speak of spring from your own limitlessness, your own perfect imperfections , imperfect perfections- strange oddities and unfathomable beauties and yes. Yes, even the ridges across your right thigh are minute, red, gasping grand-canyons of flesh, of human, of breathing clay flesh-            never plastic;             always worthy.                            Recently the voices in my head have been getting louder, telling me all sorts of things about how the snow ought to bury me in its mercilessness. They mention also that my words bear no meaning, my thoughts even less so. Assumedly, the ridges across your thigh carry such spectres as well but, I messaged you before you went to bed about coming out and having an adventure because tick-tock-tick-tock…tick…tock…tick- the last bell of the day is going to ring soon and the voices and ridges will assert themselves again with the bedtime silence, but check your Facebook messages and come outside and let’s go skipping with your friends across the century-old polished prep-school brick pathways that smell archaic because it’s snowing outside and it’s lovely.

Meanwhile, the snow stutters softly from above as if God had dandruff- perfect- and it all gently glazes the spongy surface of the world like flawless coconut icing on some sorry party cake- perfect- and the morning bell rings impossibly on time like the last breath you thought was your last- perfect- and somewhere in America I use words to remind you of the little unreachables of perfection that both start and end with your perfectly snow-pale skin, where somewhere in America and somewhere on your thighs perfect ridges of red have formed themselves like plastic scratches on a Barbie which we both think are little but we both know are big because you are not plastic.                                                At nighttime our feet skip on the icy brick pathways that lead from the dorm-rooms to the library and we shiver as the snowflakes bob in and out of our bodies like thoughts that seem funny but aren’t quite- they melt away as soon as they stumble upon our skin. From our mouths cloudy puffs of being flutter out- little butterflies affirming out listless snowflake-filled minds, sperming out ice-clouds from our mouths, our mouths, our mouths; birthing friendship. Breath, visible, is laughter. I trip and swear and momentarily skate across a sudden ice-surface as you speak another ice-breath. We arrive at the library but dart towards the empty right-side, the science classrooms. We hope to examine the thought-skirmishes on your right thigh, to turn   and change this hopeless world-spinning into centrifuge separation- make apparent the light from the dark                         the firmament from the void                         the flesh from the plastic, the- here we are as you talk about your family and I try my best to look you in the eye so I can become your eyes even when normally I am so vehemently against staring at the soul-gates of another being- here we are as you talk; God is still missing from the centrifuge of the endlessly turning world- your axis is your skin yet you trust it not. The salads without dressing,         the weighing scales,         the taste of bile at the back of your throat- all for skin that        you do not       trust. All for flesh that you think is plastic so      you      cut.                     Enough talk because the bell cuts through the flesh of our conversation. Enough talk because the world insists on turning still and forcing us to revolve with it. Enough breathing, enough snow, enough life. I remember you saying that the ratios of your face are wrong; that certain equilibriums do not exist between your cheeks your lips your eyes your life…I remember the science classrooms where parts of you were as mathematical as the architecture... I remember how you keep thinking your flesh is plastic… You forget how inglorious the nature of these words is. The problem with human thought, with the ratios of your face, with the geometric structures that cut across your thighs, with the statistical neatness with which your family decomposes; the problem with our conception of perfect is how awkwardly it both exists and does not exist for us to see. The ratios of your face which you think are broken are the same miracles I wonder about as you laugh. The incorrect distance from your cheek to your eye which you think is wrong is the same lightyear which separates the stars from the planets. The curvature of your stomach is the bending of a spacetime to accommodate the way the air must move to let your body occupy the space and time in which it exists. The ratios you speak of spring from your own limitlessness, your own perfect imperfections , imperfect perfections- strange oddities and unfathomable beauties and yes. Yes, even the ridges across your right thigh are minute, red, gasping grand-canyons of flesh, of human, of breathing clay flesh-            never plastic;             always worthy.                            Recently the voices in my head have been getting louder, telling me all sorts of things about how the snow ought to bury me in its mercilessness. They mention also that my words bear no meaning, my thoughts even less so. Assumedly, the ridges across your thigh carry such spectres as well but, I messaged you before you went to bed about coming out and having an adventure because tick-tock-tick-tock…tick…tock…tick- the last bell of the day is going to ring soon and the voices and ridges will assert themselves again with the bedtime silence, but check your Facebook messages and come outside and let’s go skipping with your friends across the century-old polished prep-school brick pathways that smell archaic because it’s snowing outside and it’s lovely.

I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World. Life's fantastic: I feel like plastic, aiming for an eighteen-inch waist because I can afford to throw my internal organs away. I feel like plastic, having to choose between eating and breathing with not enough space for two tubes. I feel like plastic, a thirty-nine inch bust and three times the forehead. I feel like plastic, a size nine squeezed to a three, spending three to nine avoiding mealtime because my weight loss book says 'Don't eat.' I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World. Life's fantastic, but... I'm not plastic. I've sat here listening while you complain about society but I don't think you realize that society is made by you. You complain about masks but you're masked by your poetry and trust me, it's trendy: Psychiatry. A bottle of capsules captures your soul and your dreams, fading reality. I cannot be defined because a definition leaves no room for change and I am a flame, ready to burn the cardboard box of priority you put over me. All the cool kids are lesbians and thespians on about repressions and I care, I do, I mean... I'm standing here among you. But words are just air. You can stand on this stage and tell me I'm beautiful, but I am more than my face so disregard my mild distaste for your inspirational speech. Now, this... This isn't a call for help. This is a call to arms. This is a battle cry because I am sick of waiting for a future that should've happened yesterday. So use this air to live the words you say and rally. Do not soothe, because we've already been cocooned by soothed reality in Shawnee, Johnson County. I'm a real girl, in a real world. Life's fantastic, and I refuse to be plastic, aiming for generic weight range based on content, not scale number. I refuse to be plastic, a neck moulded perfectly for both eating and breathing so I don't have to choose. I refuse to be plastic, a bust that you don't need to be sizing when I've got eyes a green not of romanticized meadows but of drunken puke. I refuse to be plastic, a size nine foot in a size nine shoe, spending three to nine enjoying my meal times, because my weight loss book is chucked down the chute. I'm a living girl in a beautiful world. Life's fantastic, because I'm not plastic.
