Your arms, cute legs, and nice smile – Maybe I’m too late to feel this far, to feel a void, or is it to _fill a void_— I try to avoid, that hits too close. But peel away all the labels from your face, living A little longer in my thoughts before a short-notice; I’ll be the first to notice the role you played in my life. Your skin like a KitKat; so for a sweet time, I’ll break you off a piece of my heart— _that’s a bar._ But some days I’m wrapped up in emotional bars, These hands outstretched, but arms too short To hold every direction your thoughts wander to. But won't you wonder too, how my legs are too thin To outrun all the quiet decades that shaped you— But hey, at least I still carry a nice smile. Sounds so dreadful, visiting for a short time, Catching those fallen stars in your wet eyes — Wearing shorts in winter, so our knees can knock, Two souls knocking too— knees weak; I have seven Reasons to want you right now, though it’s really Been a week, since I last seen your cute smile — _And wish I could keep it for a lifetime._

Far, Yet Noticeable
An amorous robot asked her out for a date. One 'inappropriate touch ' by him, No doubt, would have sent her up in smoke. Yet, avoiding the danger of  war with humanoids For spurning one of their kind, was Uppermost in her mind: she thoughtfully gave the nod!

It's funny how nowadays if we see someone we know, We nod our head up. And if we see someone we don't know, We nod our head down. But when we see ourselves in the mirror, We don't know what to do.

God Help The Outcasts
Just try and hit me with a car a fist or anything worse than well I have not been hit recently Despite skateboarding through traffic Maybe my tall white anger is enough to stop geology itself for one slow moment Or satan is on my side Or someone is watching me recklessly Take on an inertial framer of the references to all 3 azxisy I cannot be stopped from pretending to be in a private universe Publicly I may require some protection from Hitting famously the one thing I have been trying to avoid Selling Out well honesty & arrogances I have been BOUGHT IN...

Hit Me
Everyone speaks A million miles an hour Each word Growing more empowered They think saying more, Competing, interrupting Proves that they know more And won't be thought of as nothing Well I'm the bird That tries to tweet When thunder crashes And lightning streaks Won't take the time To hear my thoughts So all I do Is smile and nod But that's okay, No worries here, Won't seek validation From a strangers ear Your hot air fills the room While you seek your applause I know my worth, applaud myself So I just smile and nod
