Rolling out of bed

Getting in the car

Staring out the window

Empty eyes looking far

Sleepwalk through classes

Fake a convincing smile

Answer arbitrary questions

Dying inside all the while

Talking to people

Even though it feels so fake

Trying to make it through the day

Is almost too much to take

Getting home is a relief

Then you collapse into a chair

Trying to keep the semblance of a soul

That you hope still remains there

Falling into a slumber

Full of manufactured dreams

Feeling your sanity slipping

Feel it spilling out the seams

A short six or seven hours later

If you’re lucky, sometimes ten

You’re awakened by the blaring

Telling you it’s time to start again

You may think Halloween's great
But it's the one holiday that I really hate
All the little sweet-toothed children
Always forget to brush their teeth

Even the one's that normally floss
When it's me vs. the candy, I've traditionally lost
Oh Halloween, I despise you
And all the cavities you bring

The SweetTarts and the lollipos
Caramel apples with nuts on top
Hershey's and Reese's
Skittles and all their sugary pieces

M&M;'s and Snickers
Why don't we just give out stickers?!
Jolly Ranchers and Gummi Bears
Instant cavities, everywhere!

So when October comes to an end
I wait for the patients they're sure to send
Filling after filling after filling
Children crying while I'm drilling

I don't like it, despite the business it provides
On the night of October 31st, I always hide
Not wanting to fuel the tragedy that always ensues
I hate Halloween, I really, really do.

this is a poem about a girl
who didn’t think people would forget her
so she didn’t try to start over
she didn’t think people would move on
so she didn’t try to go forward

she thought their world would wait for her
when she wasn’t there
she forgot how easy it was
to forget one person
when that person is gone

she forgot that
just because they were her only friends
didn’t mean that she was theirs
she didn’t realize that
just because she didn’t want to get close to anyone else
didn’t mean that they wouldn’t

but she watched them
go on with their lives
clearly fine without her
when the her-shaped hole in their life
closed up like an old wound
she took one look at her old life
and finally decided
to stop walking backwards

but when she looked ahead
there was no one there
she forgot that in the midst of
trying to keep up with her old life
she burned every bridge into a new one

so now she’s alone
thinly connected to two lives
neither of which she  feels belongs to
floating in a lonely limbo
missing every train that has ever passed

If you wish for a prince
You're sure to get a frog
Or the thing that is more likely
Is to get no one at all

For a world that's full of people
It sure is a lonely place
Compared to insects and animals
The humans are the saddest race

There's so many people crying
Smiles drowning in their tears
All the giggles and the laughter
Buried by our fears

People say they're happy single
But no one likes being alone
I'm not really worried
My cat never forgets to phone

With all the happy TV people
You'd think there'd be less wars
Our miserable existences
Are all we can live for

I thought that I loved you
I thought that I cared.
I thought that I was the one who would always be there.

I thought we were perfect.
I thought we were right.
I thought we would talk for hours into the night.

I thought that you'd miss me.
I thought that you knew.
I thought that you'd call me out of the blue.

But I was careless
But I was wrong,
And they were right all along

We lasted a day.
Not even two.
But I'll never, ever forget my time with you.

The sky won't fall and **** me today.
The ground won't open up and eat me today.
But what if it does?

The world isn't going to blow up in my face today.
The universe isn't going to vanish before my eyes today.
But what if it does?

The grass won't turn blue and red today.
The sea won't turn yellow-orange today.
But what if it does?

My cat won't sprout wings and fly today.
My dog won't learn to speak and sing today.
But what if it does?

My life won't get any better today.
My smile won't make an appearance today.
**But what if it does?

If the world was like the British Secret Service
And all the nice guys were James Bond
And all the bad guys had cats:
There would definitely be Bond girls.

Good girls, dead girls
Shoot-you-in-the-head girls
Hiding-in-the-bed girls
While-making-out-with-Bond girls

Other-secret-agents girls
Super-******-villain girls
Some-random-at-a-bar girls
Not-wearing-enough-clothes girl

But then there’s a forgotten girl
An always being used girl
Bond never looks twice girl
Always there to help girl

Cheated by the hot girls
Laughed at ‘cause she’s a nice girl
Forgotten as a Bond girl
But an always there for Bond girl

So all you silly Bond boys
Put down your silly shooting toys
Stop kissing the villain-girl
And have a drink with the forgotten Bond girl
