They Want to Go to America

They want to go to America, The land of opportunity they say, They want to go to America, Think of it as you may, They want to go to America, Target, In-N-Out, Costco, Walmart, consumerism galore, They want to go to America, I can't bear to hear it no more, They want to go to America, NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, that's where you live the life, They...

Mirror…mirror

Oh! Dear shattered mirror Your shards agglutinated together, Birth rainbows of dissimulate Between the breaches of reality. …mirror…mirror… …my debilitated glint, I gaze, I gaze.

Scattered pills and lost dreams

let me tell you all a story about a girl I know. Smart as a whip, keeps her pinky down when she sips and she never sips on tea not made for her. She's beautiful too - and seemingly comfortable in her own skin - and for some we'd perceive that as a win, but winning isn't always winning without some sin and sinning is never done in the open....

I have caught the living from the dark so many times the dark has lost its strangeness — it is...

Without a guide to show you the way, Will you wander in circles, lost day after day? In a world without maps, where paths intertwine, How do you find...

Insignificant

I am a speck On the time line Never the ace in the deck This world is not mine I live now Later I lived never To time I am forced to bow Probably forever For I am not I am the thing you forgot Said you miss me a lot I believe it not For we are temporary Perhaps even imaginary But I lust so very To imprint on the...

Trying

Why do I stand here, screaming? Into this stormy weather. Do I want to be heard, or am I to afraid? To get noticed… Why does it have to be? All or Nothing! I have you, I am happy. No one gets me, the world falls apart. Trying, but not hard enough Doing it all at once, no focus Try to focus, nothing gets done Screaming! So loud, but nothing. Fall...
