I stood outside watching the rain slowly melt from the clouds My porch let me step onto its short pathway, for it knew my thoughts I stood there and looked up at the sky, being guarded by the small roof above me I watched as the rain fell silently to the streets and listened as it hit the bushes I kept waiting for it to change I kept waiting for it to change me For it to wash away something deep inside me I wanted it to wash away any hurt Wash away the insecurities Wash away the denial Wash away the sins Wash away the thinking of “You’ll never feel the touch of someone in love” Wash away the scars Wash away the memories Wash away the impurities Wash away I stood waiting but the rain still poured on my outstretched hands My hands opening to God asking,”Why me?” The hands of a woman who has never felt the hands of a man in love The hands that can make me whole once more As I stood watching the lightening soar across the sky and the thunder gently hum I wondered “Is this life real? Is this God real? Is love real? Is any of it real?” I shivered and stood waiting for the rain’s response None came; the only response was the silent tread of water heading toward a gutter Funny, just like my life, always fighting against gravity to stay clear of the gutter Shivering I stepped back inside and heard a small clink of a piece of broken glass I held it, amazed, wondering if my life would end this way In the hands of a tiny piece of melted sand I looked at its tiny iceberg shape I turned it and it suddenly transformed into a misshaped heart A heart, like mine, so clear, so ready, so fragile I tossed the tiny love into the air as lightening made its last hoorah Hearing only the distinctive clink as it hit the sidewalk The rain responded joyously as it picked up its pace This was her response Nothing may be real but the rain In the end, sometimes, it’s all we can depend on to wash away our old selves To stand, like an escape from Shawshank; free This was my answer That my tiny glass love lying patiently on the side of the road will someday be picked up and thrown wildly into the wind hoping that it shall find the fingers of a lovestruck current This time instead of a slab of concrete, I shall be there to catch it as lightening strikes my heart I looked up at the tiny roof guarding my head from the cold drops of reality It was then that I decided it was time to take the roof off of my life, leaving me unguarded I closed the door, shivering with a renewed sense of myself I curled under the blanket asking again the same questions that haunted me, “Is this life real? Is this God real? Is love real? Is any of it real?” The rain answered, “Yes”.

When It Rains, It Pours

“I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more grey."

Shawshank redemption
You know that feeling that you get After a joke you tell falls flat? Humiliation unrepressed; I'd summarise my life as that. Twenty-one years down the line But worn as if I'm eighty-odd. Drug dependant, but still here. All miracle: No added God! The classic jokes all told again. "He looked so cute but what went wrong?" Too much attention, look away And **** off with that birthday song. Twenty-one yet still sixteen, The pinnacle of gentlemen. A deviant of *** and lust, And sickness from adrenaline. Happy birthday, happy birthday, Psychedelic astronaut. Years ago you clambered out And started having second thoughts. On hands and knees, I'd crawl back in, Just like Shawshank Redemption. This may explain my love of *** I shall make no exemptions.

I Climbed out of My Mother 21 Years ago Today (And it was a Terrible Decision)
World traveller. Suit wearer. Likes The Shawshank Redemption. He's off to a singles party somewhere in Doncaster, it’s Christmas themed and fancy dress though it’s planned for October the 23rd during Christmas's only rest. And I know that in Donny you find love where you can, and I know he spent hours revising his master plan fancy dress idea, but a raw turkey outfit, coloured like **** semolina once bought for a Jamie recipe that didn’t quite work, won’t cut it on the dance floor.

The voice of Morgan Freeman can make flowers sprout Penguins march like an army to the rhythm of his voice The voice of an opera singer may break glass But his just melds it back together I'm pretty sure Somewhere He's narrating my every footstep My every breath My every twitch He's somewhere looking down on me Giving the best play by play ever His deep bellowing voice Opens the worn hole Helps break Tim Robbins out of Shawshank And helps batman save Gotham The only thing he can't do Is get me through high school

Morgan Freeman's Voice
What miserable circumstances these are I must say, All seriousness awaits every young mind, Dust turns to dirt, And thy dirt turns to slime!!! Lying in the state of orient, Thine place of buckeye hatched Nazi's!!! Thine place where flies stay nutritious, And gamblers turn to yahzee!!! Turnaround, For pickaways thy decadent view, Just as Shawshank there's no escape, Just white t-shirts , Straps replace laces and mindrapists of me and you!!! Such colorful words used in a slander!!! Falcons to replace birds, Snake's here to smell out every tasteful salamander!! No dancers, No lovers, No swings, No palliation!!! No invitations to weddings, No wedded rings!!!! Constitutional rights, Forgeteth them thou reader of ohian laws, Thy bloodcells extend, Muscles bend to flex thy own callibur to thine jaw!!!! Miracles of dark and lighted angels appear in sequences, No recommendations, Just case workers to fill bus help stations!!! Proverbs to psalms will open to eyes that have not yet seen, Where pearlied gates are out on display, No movie theaters, No freak like scenes!!! All reality, no aura in the Catacomb of unknown kilter!!! Pacification leads me successfully with a peace of minds own capture, Prevailing to Sentiment, To Amour ever after!!!!!

cut throat poetry
It's 7:27am and I still haven't slept it's probably for the best even when I sleep I get no rest I wake up in sweat and out of breath if sleep was really the cousin of death I'd be inclined to get more of it wakefulness is stress but sleep sleep is something else sleep is torture for the depressed sleep is something you tell yourself you need when your world comes crashing down when you see no need to get dressed sleep is what you fall in to when there's no more stimulation no more coffee, no more elation something you do post ****** usually from ************ if you could see my dreams you'd think of Stephen King's The Shawshank Redemption except without redemption just the seeping hateful retention

He doesn't know all the words To every led zeppelin song So he doesn't sing along with me While I'm belting out the lyrics He doesn't idolize jim morrison He doesn't love stevie nicks He doesn't listen to johnny cash He doesn't feed my mind He can't tell me something That I don't already know He doesn't bite his nails Or lick his lips He doesn't have long hair That I can twirl around my finger He doesn't know how much I adore my mom He doesn't know How much my father has hurt me He doesn't know I live solemnly for my siblings He doesn't know That I cry at night Because I hate my appearance He doesn't know The little things that make me laugh He doesn't know That the shawshank redemption Is my favorite movie He doesn't know That I hate wearing shoes He doesn't know Where I've been Or where I want to go He doesn't know i'm a big fish in a small pond and i'll never make it in the ocean He doesn't know all I ever wanted was to be loved and taken care of He doesn't know He's never going to know But you know You know All the words to every led zeppelin song

led zeppelin lyrics
She had magnetic innocence that pulled people to her in tides, people with broken lives and shawshank prisons in their heads, people with duct taped memories bursting against the seams. And yet.. she still wonders why she cries in rivers filled with their pain and her own.

Innocence
if we would've met at 16 our lives as teenagers would've been worlds different. we'd meet in the parking lot after school and we'd drive for a little, then hotbox in front of the pacific ocean. i'd play you all the stuff that i played on my weekly radio show and i'd ***** to you about how i was done with the world and every single lululemon wearing, frozen mocha drinking girl who thought i was inferior to her because i wasn't conventionally pretty, listened to anti-establishment punk rock of the 1970s and refused to straighten my hair even if my curls wouldn't quit that day. i didn't know you four years ago. you were the exact opposite of me, and honestly you probably would have avoided me - you put gel in your hair and you played sports, but you seemed like you might've been angry and sad for no apparent reason too. you were the same as you are now in some ways, you had the 24/7 off-duty model thing, you were smart, you bumped old school tunes, you knew old school sitcoms. i would've 100% been in love with you but i never would have done anything about it. all i wanted was someone that i could tell everything to, but nobody cared. knowing you could have eased the pain of the period of time in my life where i spent all my money on dime bags and twelve dollar packs of cigarettes and stability was the last thing on my mind and all i really wanted to do was dig a grave for myself. you probably would have never talked to me, but we would have been the coolest kids in the parking lot. and can i tell you like, the cheesiest sounding thing in the world? yeah? okay. i can't wait to run into you on a beach on the north shore of kauai in 50 years. "shawshank redemption" style. i hope we're friends forever.

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and CASABANCA are tied as my most favorite film I've ever seen in my life, Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins in the former, Ingrid Bergman--the most beautiful woman I've ever seen--and Humphrey Bogart, a fellow Andover alum (he got kicked out his first year). THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is, indeed, tied as my most favorite movie. But it's also a documentary. TOD HOWARD HAWKS

SHAWSHANK
I went to the place That looked like Shawshank The old hallways were a boor Yet strangeness still remains Sink's got clogged up The bathrooms Fifty years or so The movie section was odd I felt the distant show's But I had to get back Home Where all is safe and warm I went to the old Shawshank Where society still Mourns
