When you're not FOR REAL, How you think that makes us feel, We hung on your every word, Realizing you're nothing but a thrill. Of the Feeling you let us down, As we're realizing you're a Clown, not keeping to your promise, As we're frustrated wearing frowns. You're the type we cannot trust, We can't depend on, or rely, When we thought that you would pull through, ONLY TO BE STRUCK DOWN BY YOUR LIES!!! We really wanted to BELIEVE YOU, but You seem so insincere, You're nothing but a BIG OLE PHONY, and You are not welcomed here. So go on PHONY BALONEY, You put on a real good show, Pick up your GRAMMY on your way out, Just leave and hit the door!!! B.R. Date: 3/13/2026

Phoney Baloney
I found myself attending costume parties without a mask. I was ashamed of myself. So, I began to wear costumes and masks. People approved greatly—they called me many things: kind, gentle, honest—a good person. And, suddenly I found myself unable to take off the costume. I looked around to find myself alone once more in my attempt to escape. I realised what fools they were—what a fool I had been. So, now I attend without a costume. I ignore their comments—"Oh, what happened to the kind boy I used to know?"—because no longer do I play the fool's game.

The Fool's Party
infatuated with me you became my biggest enemy something insincere about how you wanted me i was there to take the edge off coke binges at the bar every other night and you wonder why your hairline is moving backwards you caused my mood to lose all stability then crying for your attention you were starving for us to look past your lack of personality you didn't need a reality show you needed a reality check at the time you were 23 way too old for me you were grasping at straws to be pretty we can see the crow's feet setting in and your liver failing no amount of jogging can bring back your peak you're the biggest cliché you go to emo night unironically you said you saw yourself in me we are not the same remember you were a prom king

Sometimes I wonder whether will-power is all that I need in my life in order to feel whole. If I learn to never follow my instincts and rather rely on my rational thinking, will I feel better, will I feel whole when I scrape off joviality from the edges of my soul? Won't I feel bitter, won't I feel low that I have not smiled sincerely since ages ago? Is everyone capable of experiencing love or is this what is said by the Man from above? Aren't we all delusional enough to blame God and religion that our lives are so tough? Are we blind for the realization that all of us are a creation, perfectly fallible and right, but often wrong, yet much like a rhythmic sensation in a song? Why are we rude and envious of others when we all should behave just like we're brothers? Everyone is suffering under the rain perpetually waiting for the arrival of a plane; a plane that could carry them to another dimension but we all know that's just an absurd pretension. Life does fly by and it's a well-known fact, yet few can even maintain an eye contact with that beautiful woman or that handsome man, standing at the corner of the room with no plan. Life does fly by and it's a well-know fact, yet it's just an idea, so abstract as not to even make an impression, leaving us deal with our own depression. Life does fly by, yet that woman can't leave the man she has married, the man that would deceive. She's lying to herself that it's all for the better, swaying down the tree's branch just like a feather. So, don’t be so anxious, so scared and insincere; Life is indeed too short for that, dear...

I love you, Her boyfriend used to say Every time he missed her birthday by a day. Those three little words accompanied with Thanks for your forgiveness, That she never really gave Beneath her false smiles. You are beautiful, Belongs to her mother Who dressed her up in frills that itched And tied doll ribbons in her hair. You are gorgeous, Whispered her second husband Only in bed and not When she had morning breath and hair, And needed to hear those words then. I hate you, Never slips past her painted lips While shining so brightly in her eyes.

What I Didn't Say
from those ever so soft, delicate lips, (and to mention, quite kissable as well) come the words that i long to hear. the vibration from your "i love you" rings in my ear. though i have every reason to believe you mean it, they come across insincere and forced. the butterflies stay still in my stomach and my heart never quite flutters at the sound of them. i am left to wonder if these two-dimensional words you convey will ever speak volumes to either of us. this isn't what love is supposed to feel like.

Please take a seat In the back of my head Stop hijacking my thoughts And wishing me dead Hand over the reins I'll take it from here You will self destruct And you're insincere I look to the future I welcome the new You served no purpose And I am stronger than you

It is neither here, or there. Not behind this door, or maybe this one, no. Tis not high? Or low? Oh, I’ve forgotten so. One can be pleased, as I have misplaced this. My steps miss-traced, something could be amiss. Though, it is difficult, to lose such a thing. Its hands wrap around my neck, as it clings. I can’t hear it ring, what sound will it bring? When it finally comes back. Oh, what happened to it, I feel like a lout. Where is my self-doubt?

Once for remorse Twice for regret Three times to forget And never again

Lamourette's Kiss
Those who can clearly see and clearly hear Who choose to turn a blind eye, a deaf ear To all they do not wish to see or hear, Are clearly shallow; clearly insincere. Their own happiness is all they hold dear; That they care not for others is quite clear.

Clearly....
All those who look but do not see, Those who listen but do not hear, Show such a lack of empathy That those who truly care should fear. .

Insincere...
I dont want simple; Feed me yourself in silver spoonfuls. I want simple, Lie to me, and tell me I am not an Animal.    I am an analyst-dissecting details. 4Am fresh snowfall I will remain capable! Make first new footprints, in a circle...   Till I reach the middle. I will remain incapable of Tying my shoes.    I am a participant in social warfare. Looking forward: Possible encounters & Spring Rain. Fantasizing both in measure.   All I am to you is what you see, and What you hear, smell,   touch,     taste. All you are to me so far Is what I see, and what I hear; So i am looking very hard,    And I am listening very closely. I want logic, Tasting honey when I ****** I want harsh confusion, Complete absence of logic in it's essence. Kissing a part of you that potties. Now, I can remain content in chasing my tail; I sleep balled up on top of the ocean, my clothes and fur strewn;    Chewing paws in strange positions. I want contradiction, an Assurance of the Devil & a Total disregard for ghosts. Constructive chaos:    Dress like ghosts on Acid and Wear rollerblades. I want my resumé to read: >works well with others, >great fighter, & >An outstanding Lay. I want to leave behind dreams, I want to rent a room in your dream bed&breakfast;, Sometimes sharing yours, but always paying rent on time for mine. Sometimes swinging an axe against a rough stump, Craving lemonade and Spring Rain. Part of me wants to grow old and Mad, and sit by rivers; I could smoke ****** from a wizard pipe for my Sore joints. ( I am alright with the possible outcome of Alone. ) [ I would rip my hair out, Glue it to my body, & become A boy in wolf's clothing. ] I want creative destruction, Mayhem, borderline Mind **** Learning to pick the banjo half-decently.    That Deliverance tune. And walk around ski towns    Scaring the **** out of some tourists And other antagonists.

I had a dream Of sunshine so dim That noon was midnight. You donned your velvet And paraded your charms In front of me With an arrogant smile. The snakes circled me And you held out Your hand to dance with me. With venom on my tongue, We spun between the swaying cobras, Intent on something You knew all too much about And I too little. Hours passed and the dimness Of the midday sun Sank into the mountains And an even darker abyss Smothered our mysterious game. Then we stopped and the snakes Grinned as we embraced, Your tongue tasting bitter And your hands insincere. As you pulled away, We started to crumble, Falling into ash And trembling in transparency. Yet as our skin flew away, We could still see each other's eyes... And I awoke in a sweat For dreams are much too true.
