I just can't do it It's just not in me Writing, un-rhymed Placing words On parchment, or page Ill, or badly timed Flinging prose As would a hack Or a ****** mime I'll stay right here And rhyme, my dear each, and every thyme

Zebras, Tigers, and stripes
He is a Fried Egg Jellyfish, nonetheless he was ignorant Always pushing things on me He never considered feelings Like the Phacellophora camtschatica his sting is rather weak. But that doesn't seem to explain why it took me so long to see that he was only after one thing. - She is a Pacific Sea Nettle Glowing; always and forever. I embrace her light even when I'm feeling smothered. She is amazing in many ways But could become dangerous in a matter of days. Just like the Chrysaora fuscescens, She is made of many colors. Which is why I can't stop looking at her. - He is a Purple Striped Jelly One of the most painful out of these Oh sweet, Chrysaora colorata, he truly stung me. So beautiful inside and out I should've looked but never touched I just wanted to be his cancer crab, but I never was one.. I was the ocean sunfish biting back. - He is a Golden Jellyfish Beautifully mysterious as always I want to dive straight into him As I would the lake that the smack lives in. Very similar to the lake he is full of golden aspects that I long to intake. He hasn't stung me yet, So why should I ponder mistakes? He'll always be stuck inside of my head.

Jellyfish Comparisons
I know what you want. It's what they all want, all pine for You're like animals, animals, savage and oh The pride that you have, it reeks off of you, from your skin bones core face eyes I don't understand it Because oh, they enjoy it so much And they view themselves as items and such But I can see you, see into your eyes You trapped scared cornered bullied worried little boy You think you need this It's the animal inside you that I can feel Languishing and writhing inside, desperate to feel something, feel anything You need the connection, but it's waning breaking distant over away from your reach Intangible, irreplaceable, lost What are words when they can't reach you? Used to communicate but oh you use your body And your eyes, they tell me stories Of where you've been, where you're going, where you are But you're not here right now present ever because you're lost hidden silent child crying wailing sealed away suppressed I can feel it all in your touch.

White Stripe Black Heart
The crooked stripe across your shirt Matches the frown that shows your hurt. But the yellow brightly shines above. Your slight, thin smile makes all feel love.
