#disguised
Barbed wire disguised as a sanctuary.
Decay in the comfort of a garden full of foxglove.
How long have I been sitting here?
Nightshade sure looks pretty
When it’s far away.

pretty tears guard my eyes
little jets of rainbows shoot when they fall
everything glistens, my face glows
crying is elegant they say.
fire burns my eyeballs
the hot lava turning my cheeks red
the world becomes icy, repelled by the heat
no, crying is raw.

Tricks could be dangerous
if it was done
by the wrong people
Disguised in pretty lips
and polished words
they were trained to manipulate
Be careful not to get caught
in their petty tricks
that are disguised in fancy lies
So it is best
to think before you absorb
and to have a mind of your own

I'm sorry that I stole her from you.
Even if your love wasn't true.
I didn't wait my turn,
Instead, I took it from you.
There's a hint of sadness in your eyes.
It was always there, but more disguised.
She needed more than shared taste in music.
I gave her my heart and she doesn't abuse it.
It's nice, for me, finally.
And it will be for you, too, eventually.
She's in a place that's years ahead,
Than finding comfort in boys, in bed.
At least I hope, that my words are true.
Just know I'm sorry. I stole her from you.

Forceful thoughts fall from the seams
Like the nightmarish steeds
Of a hellscape dream
So carved into rock are the thoughts at hand
That I can not escape
Who truly I am
A monster inside
With a colorful broach
And just enough care
To help you approach
When the fear you should have
I help wipe away
To disguise the danger
That will always stay
Run as you should
But you never can
Because I glove my ugly with a caring hand
So take my hand and come with me
To a world of fantasy and make believe
So carefully painted with a velvety sheen
So as to not let it show this is all a dream
But the paint does chip
And so you will wake
To an external hell
With no escape

Deep within Earthen bowels
immensely distant from sheltering sky
amidst a thick fog enveloped landscape
with here and there a projected
craggy, derelict chasm
precipitously crooked
rocky claws pointing toward
an infinitely wide yawning abyss
dwelt kindred spirits
comprising soul asylum
where grateful dead (albeit marked,
via weathered tomb stones)
hermetically sealed
once vibrant corporeal mortals
betook their eternal slumber.
One among their number
included a misanthrope
who sported long straggly hair
bushy eyebrows shield
ding cold eyes of steel
straggly bearded clammy chin
in tandem with a hairy body
which when alive (long time ago)
upheld upon unshod feet, a severely
hunchbacked ******
Within dense pitch-black terrain
(Mother Nature enlisting
a menagerie of life forms
accustomed to hellish environment)
awash with unrecognizable
alien sights and sounds
mollycoddling bewitching warlocks,
mailer daemons, trolling trojan horses
imps of the pervert chieftains, fiery
long and fostered Golems
who called underworld
their private demesne
also alluded to Marcy's playground
holding hostage Alice in Chains
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
The Beastie Boys, Culture Club
The Human League, and
Village People a Crowded House
Emitting wisps of ethereal matter
appearing a small medium at large
chat snap ping, flickr ring
indeed joyus minions
exalting piety good and plenti.
Prone ounce sing proud purgatory
promoting protean phantasmagoria
hideous hulu hoop dancing holograms
highly distorted grotesque
silent 10,000 maniacs screaming
sinister semblance to banshees
slithering across escarpment.
Echoing one end of universe to the other
putting to shame initial big bang
ranking as a mere whimper
that original primordial blast
which cosmological exploits
generated heavenly sphere instantaneously
comparison viz Krakatoa times Googleplex
essentially reduced to insignificance
albeit on the analogous tinker toy
premised conjectures of brilliant minds
could gander feeble educated guesses
asper extraordinary natural phenomena
mortal mankind could never approximate
as belligerent threats punctuated,
via nuclear warfare
merely rates as a flickr
amidst uber kindle snap chat ting
tinder blinks, extinguishes,
snuffs out one lowly
Beatle browed bipedal simian.

Drowning in this bright white light
I’m alone on this stage like every night
Seeing all my fans screaming my name when I walk into the light
All I see every night is a sea of flashing lights
All they see is me hitting these low and high notes with ease
I make it look so easy while I dance to this beat
But when its late at night all I want to do escape
Escape this never-ending dream where I can’t find peace
Peace that would make me feel complete
Because my fans don’t really know me
All they see is me achieving a dream which is turning bittersweet
Bittersweet because they will never see the real me
So here I stand on this street corner all alone
Thinking about running away from this fame
That I once thought would make me feel complete

One of these days
Exams begin.
Didn't take long
to get right in.
No time was wasted.
In a better way,
Could not have won my heart.
Can't bare to open a book
when apart.
Only thing on mind
Is the art of making
Creating, of feeling so deep
And genius, warm and hazy
But, one of these days
Exams begin.

For everyday I have a mask.
A mask for each and every task.
One for joy, one for loss.
But for each one I use there is a cost.
When to my face a mask I bind.
I leave a part of my soul behind.
In ******* to this disguise I wear.
I know not how well I will fare.
I hide myself from them all.
My masks they keep me as a thrall.
No one here knows my name.
They all think that we are all the same.
They don't know any different because I hide.
My true nature inside.
A mask of happiness covers my sorrow.
A smiling mask picked out for tomorrow.
No truth, only lies.
The beautiful deception that my masks provide.

Sometimes
the encounters in life
come by surprise, but lately
all of these good byes
fade away disguised.

People will come
look, but not see
the broken house this had once come to be
This practically now perfect space
isn't true to this place
This house, it is disguised
to impress
hiding the past, it is all lies
covering the mess.

I told my soul I'd never grow
To fall into such a trap.
That promise I did keep, I sleep
A restless, teary nap.
Now it builds inside me wildly
And creeps out from my cap
Tell me how this happened
How it happened to me...
I told my heart never to start
To show my skin again
To lock myself inside and hide
Behind an ever jolly grin.
Do not go, I know, I know
And do not let them in.
Tell me how this happened
How it happened to me...
I warned my mind to bind
My heart inside my chest
The criticizing eyes, their lies
I see better than the rest.
All too blind and so unkind,
I will not pass their test
Tell me how this happened
How this happened to me...
I must hide, for I have tried
To reveal my soul
Oh how battered, I was shattered
Dig a corpse sized hole.
I'm still the same, but out of shame
I burnt outside to coal.
Tell me how this happened
How this happened to me.

Tonight I found out I wasn't for me
But for someone else
He isn't perfect
But he's mines
I'm not perfect either
But I'm his
I waited almost half my life to find him
But I didn't know it would be him
Mines and only mines
A man I've come to know
A man I've come to love
Then what could all this mean?
Is it a turning point for both of us?
Or is it the time to realize that we are meant to be together?
Or to be there for each other?
Or you tell me?

~ Disguised in your own skin
Overwhelming thrive to be seen
~ What to prove, what to win?
Acceptance from unimportant faces
~ The faces criticize, they believe what they want o
Unreasonable explanations, blinded by tragedy
~ Unaware of the value of someone like you
Strong, brave, a high head with high hopes
~ Let them underestimate, let them laugh
They'll soon come to realize, they're the ones who must cope
~ You've come so far, and with so little fear
The ones who care are sure to linger near
~ Continue to express your radiance and love
Until the end of your journey, you'll continue to shine
~ Set your mind free, don't listen to those faded faces
Undermining stress comes with too much of a shove
~ No matter where I go, I'll remember your spirit forever
I'll carry on what you've taught me, to different worlds and places
~ Different ways you've impacted my life
These things I'm sure not to forget, ever
~ Each day our friendship grows stronger
With fights, laughs, even some irrelevant drama
~ Our memories, our thrills, everything in between
If you believe in our friendship, it'll last even longer

All the things you've said
that have struck me down the most
were said as nonchalant utterances,
or disguised as whimsy and play.
But those are the ones
that dig in the most,
drill into my core
until I'm so ****** off and hurt
I want to spit your venom
right back at you.
Your words work their way
slowly through my system,
steadily poisoning my thoughts.
And it's the worst when I'm alone,
with only my now-tainted mind
for company.
Problem is, sometimes
I feel that same loneliness
with you right beside me.
So, despite your ardent claims
to the contrary,
I'm quite unsure of your ability
to handle my capriciousness
for the long-term.
