UNTITLED

Do you want to do it right now? 
I know you do 
Will you want to be in the dark? 
Have it splatter on the wall. 

Can you do it right now? 
With the tension and anxiety in your heart 

Will you know how to? 
Or will it be an embarrassement to your life? 

Cars drive by and planes fly over head 
Nothing will stop for you 
Life will go on whether you do it in the dark, 
right now with tension and anxiety in you heart, 
when you don't know how to do it, 
when it could splatter on the wall 

Maybe someone will catch you there in your room 
What will they say? 

Can YOU do it. 
    Right 
       Now 
          In 
             The 
                Dark. 


REPETITION

The preparation begins. 
Brushed up and clipped back hair; 
Purply pink eye shadow, 
Mascara long eyelashes, 
Deep purple lipstick, 
A little powder. 

Black shoes to increase height, 
Tight blue hip hugging pants, 
A black tube top tied in the middle. 

Promised with a surrounding beauty by friends. 

Five part for another night of discovery and search. 
A night of music, dancing and alcohol. 

Four leave as eight; 
You are charmed but again and as always go home alone. 


PRINCESS

A gloss to furnish her existance, 
A witch in brutal truth, 
A sorceress with venom, 
Twisted with elegance and resentement; 
Dreams that became jealousy, 
Left a frigid lover; 
Deceit that grew with style, 
Savage cruelty of her path; 
And virgin envy. 



QUESTION YOUR ROLE

A flashback and a hint of blue; 
Water flows as Van Gogh paints it. 
A girl meets a boy. 
The stars cushion the sky and the lake shines. 
In the end of a gun rests a daisy, 
Many corporate smells in the air; 
Vengeance has a fetus in business. 
The girl and boy dance to music on the radio. 
The fire sparkles as the sun goes down; 
Innocence rings in setting orange, 
He kisses her under a flowery blanket. 
He becomes a man? 
Have a nice day! 



THE COLOURS

The colours blend together 
Blending in a mass of confusion 
Confusion is our life 
Life is everything 
Everything is you. 



ENLIGHTEN ME

Have you ever wondered? 
what you look like 
what you are 
what you're suppose to be. 
Have you thought what would happen if you stepped out of your body 
What would you think of yourself 
What would you see? 



LIFE AFTER

The green leaves hang in the trees 
But once we're gone 
They'll be brown and will start to fall 
When a leaf hits the ground It starts a whole new life 
He is now compost. 



I AM

I am drowning and I can't breathe, 
I am running and I can't move, 
I am writing and there is no ink, 
I am screaming and there is no sound, 
I am hating and no one can feel it, 
I am happy and no one thinks that is possible, 
There is nothing. 
No one helps, 
No one sees, 
No one hears, 
No one feels, 
No one thinks, 
No one. 

There is nothing, 
But I can see so many people.
