i feel like the weight of my world is on my shoulders, a self-inflicted Atlas curse. my actions are coming back to knock me down and crush my resolve. i'm so close. so close to getting everything fixed. and i push the boulder up the hill as Sisyphus did. but every time i near the zenith, i make one small misstep, and everything slips from my hands, rolling me flat again. mere assignments feel like labours of Hercules, impossible trials, with the intent of divine punishment. if i slay the Hydra, will i pass english class?

catching a break feels like a myth
We never thought in our lives that elders dying will be amongst our lives, losing our loved ones is a heartache, but the virus you put out is a treacherous outbreak. No compassion, sympathy or souls you have, because all Bill Gates has is a chip in hand. The world was once sought to be a beautiful place, until a ****** was born out of place. The corruption of this world isn't because of you or me, but the one who stands before us on the high chair of a governmental seat. The serpents tongue slivers and shakes and the lies come out it's poisonous stake. We need to come together as a whole, forget the fear because end is near, we must run with armed forces in our hands to the throne and temple at arms to cote and **** the snake with 7 heads, each and every one at once to destroy what' is coming to us. Then hopefully we will survive, but we mustn't give up without a fight.     How dare they force to vacc and chip us with their evil redemption of a cast pit plan, masking us to the point of a hypoxia death. We the people need to make a stand, forget the rest and fight the Medusa head which lays amongst our earth. We must banish, and forbid, to stretch away it's evil temptress of all for then once again we can live a life for all.

**** Hydra
* *The Dragon steals the waters of life, The Dragon steals the waters of life,   The Dragon steals the waters of life,* * * a Hydra eats those who lie. * *This is the story of                           Darr-en Gunn, His life was a                              short-en-ed one. While hunting some snakes                                            having no lucky breaks. Found himself consumed by a                                                                   gi-ant one. Was warned of one snake,                                            the seven-headed Drake. Found himself consumed by a                                                                  gi-ant one. In Old Foggie swamps lies a place                                                                  he haunts. With a hunter digesting in a                                                                 Dra-gon! *The Dragon steals the waters of life, The Dragon steals the waters of life,  The Dragon steals the waters of life,* * * a Hydra eats those who lie. All children should learn                                                                                of a swamp that churns. In a place where they say                                                                  the wa-ter burns!

Rhyme of a Hydra

It's dark inside. It's where my demons hide.” Ha! If only it were as easy as demons, darling! Demons at least are predictable. But no. Inside is where my hydra lives With too many heads to count. And each time I cut off one Two more grown. They all want something different. They never agree, The voices in my head. They scream at me and never stop. The only thing that keeps me from going insane-- Well, there isn't anything. Guess that's why I'm like this.

Inside
The hat he wore with ease Indoors and onstage The raspy baritone, the sage The jeweler with words That sparkled in our minds The smiling cynic The optimist at times Brave, uncompromising Knowing it would soon end We wanted it darker He knew we did So he gave it to us straight Our rhyming friend I've been to Hydra Stood outside his home It's a simple place Where cars do not roam I breathed the same air Marveled at the deep blue sea I was drawn there by his spirit By his poetry And now he's gone We shall carry on today We have to He would have wanted it this way And we will surely miss him For us, he does pray.

Leonard Cohen
you passed by like a hurricane a tsunami following your wake, you turned my world upside I had no choice but to go along for the ride, so much happened I thought it must have been years but it was only a second that you passed me by, in a whirlwind so fast so driven you didn't notice I slipped my heart into your pocket, and you kept on going leaving me behind, forgetting... I know not where you have gone, but I wonder if you ever took your hands off the beast of life and dared to relax them in your pocket, if you would find my heart there, still, or perhaps it fell out tumbled down into the bush on one of your adventures, lost forever, it hurts it hurts so bad that you have my heart but I do not blame you for not giving yours in return no, for you didn't know I gave you mine, to blame you would be unfair, so I shan't tell you of the tears I've cried from my loss my pining no I do not blame you for not returning a love you don't know begs returning.

I do not blame you
You make me weak disregard my wants and needs You bite me inch by inch run your hands through my hair kiss my neck shove your hand down my pants You arouse me more than is necessary You invite an animal to stay in my heart in my soul You bring out the beast in both of us You, want to play a game to have a little fun to **** around for the night then venture back again into the wilderness leaving me wondering what any of that really meant You make me weak shaking knees lightly pressing my safe word is "Red" Red Red **** you ******* listen RED You take away my ability to say no to know what's right You make everything seem okay when you're here and everything scary and lonely when you're not You want to touch me but You don't want me I want both yes I want YOU
