#bursting
No bound amount of times compress Could pressurized this want in me Leaving other lovers not by the wayside But with a future of their own to be Arise and fall, my beating chest With a breath anew and deep words to breathe Let me not invest in unstanding still But in a redemptive song bursting forth, wild and free

I feel like I'm made of cheap glass I have no purpose, I'm not of high class And even though I'm of no use That will never make a good excuse Pardon my outburst, I'm containing my thoughts And each one that goes can never be caught They all burst from my mind like a brilliant volcano Each one setting off a light and faint glow I feel like I'm absolutely fake I put on a smile because if I'm happy, that's all it takes It doesn't hurt them if I'm sad, no one even cares Because when I'm sad, they just feel the need to stare I don't pay attention to them because I know deep in my mind All of them have no idea of the things I think of, they're blind Each thought darker than the last Remembering all the bad times in the past Each thought bubbles up and creates paranoia Each one branches out like a giant sequoia I hate each and every one for they swarm me like flies I can't explain how much it hurts, but each sharp sting of pain I despise

I'm Made Of Glass
If you go outside at night, after the world goes to sleep, you can hear the planet sigh, under the secrets it cant keep. And the wind sings with different tunes, to all the one you hear by day, as though its choking on the words, that we're all afraid to say. And I wonder at the problems, we've tried to melt inside its core, Whether its packed so close to bursting, that it can't hold any more. For how long we see its weakness, When we've not known something so strong, and if it weeps and we can't hear it, does that mean there's nothing wrong?

More than
I'm beginning to believe That happiness is just an illusion. While in the moment you may smile, When it fades, it leaves behind confusion. Tell me, why do we blow bubbles When they burst in seconds few? You can't change the color of the sky, my dear. It will always, always be blue. And even while you're smiling, There's this ever-rising flood. Reminding you of your pain and despair And that you'll always turn back to blood. I'm hearing voices in my mind, Replaying loved ones loving me. But as I begin to find those thoughts, They turn their backs and flee. Why do we struggle at the top of the water? Wouldn't it be easier to sink? At least if the water consumes you, Then you won't be forced to think.

Cage is Full
I've seen bodies aching, freshly groomed, seeking to fill the void with touch. Sleeping under vibrant bouquets of drowsiness and lethargy. I can see the figure in my future He's drowning in the plants of lust But I should wait until that time. I must, I must, I must.

Bursting Bouquets
This is a supernova The millisecond before It explodes Almost empty space Bursting with anticipation And fear This is nothing, Yet everything This is a beginning And the end

overwhelmed
Life is unavoidably ecstatic, at every scale, degree, level, dimension, an oscillation, season to season day to night to day to night cycle by cycle wax by wane feeling by feeling to feeling always moving both ways all ways always crest, trough, cresting- falling, lifting-crashing riding, riding out and in and through and by and by, bursting.. I could explode, I might explode, I did explode, I do explode though I'm contained, boundary by boundary, transcending, including, moving always moving both ways all ways always rainbows weaving spectral waving, rivers raging, bodies growing, organismic, oceanic, orgiastic in-ing, out-ing, coming-going, holding, letting go, flowing, flowing, flows surrendered, building, pursing, pleasing, pangs, paining, ripping, breaking, sorrows to joys to shade to shine, as chasms to substantiation, as abyssal to full, as burn to burning, to smoke etheric, to ashes, to ground, all passions as passions passion pumping, filling, releasing on-ing, off-ing, alive-dying-birthing-living, living as moving always moving, transforming breath by breath by breathing, being this to that, a changeling, changing always moving always moving both ways all ways always
