The Lies We Love to Tell
And I don't think you would understand all these words I have to say to you.
Words & rants & raves.
Bitter thorns spewed forth from a once tender throat.
Reality flows into the blackness,
and we wonder whose shoulders we ripped our wings from.
Pain & anger...
Anger Management.
Means it's okay to be angry as long as it can be managed properly.
I wish there were a few sessions of court ordered Love Management in my near future.
Sparkles & sequins litter the empty tables;
A wedding was held.
Misery joined our company.
Now the wailing and mourning have commenced and
my soul paints itself a happier shade of Dead.
And I don't think yo
Where do you draw the line that seperates you from the savages? Cuz I gotta tell ya sweetheart, so far, they're looking a tad bit more humane than you ever did. They're eating goddamn animals, raw, with their bare hands... and yet they handle life with more social grace than you've managed to accrue in a lifetime. Blood dripping from their chins as they eat to survive. Somehow I find it less grotesque than the glint in your eyes as you counsel me to break free of the lost causes that just so happen to mean my sanity.
And darling, I've got to tell you that all those nights spent pressed together in an effort to shut everyone out... they
Sometimes I wonder what I have to do
To make this more obvious.
How do you want this message sent?
Apparently screaming and crying
Dont demonstrate a thing.
Do I keep it all inside?
Tired of the pretend pity,
The faux concern.
Windows open &shut all the time
And no one notices the death
Of the air currents.
Let me in, so I can choose the friends
I fall prey to.
Im sick of screaming&crying because obviously
they dont demonstrate a damn thing.
Where in the world did you bury your soul?
Black orbs fill your empty skull.
The hole in your chest used to
House an organ capable of pity
And love
But now you just
An elegy begins each time she flashes that brilliant smile.
Worlds collide because no one can withstand the falsified cheer she presents.
Acidic sorrow prompting her to be beautiful.
Don't let anyone see.
The pills, powders, and potions just make her sparkle,
and no one sees the danger in one, small thrill.
Hide her need for love behind her harlot's tricks.
The prestige of cash rewards covers the shame of selling out.
There's a war going on, but damn, she's got great hair.
Just one kiss could wake her from her stupor,
but he's too busy commanding the world's attention with his winning ways.
One touch too many will push her over th
There's something about your sin that shines so softly. A subtle glamor and appeal that simply can not be found in perfection. Trees blowing in the wind bend but rarely do they break. That same strength is found in you, if only you'd look. Aging actors give up their pride, just to be remembered, but it won't be that way with us. We'll write our own script and people will flock at our command. I'm not Columbus, baby. I don't have a fleet of ships to help me prove a thing, but trust me when I say you can keep traveling across my love and you'll never drop off. It's as round as can be, so just keep circling.
They've written books about us, they
Crazy, crazy, Kibbles 'n' Bits
My mind is blown to pieces.
Jesus, Jesus, juice and gin
I'm sick of the lies he preaches.
Money, money, moons are funny
Got them all on pretty leashes.
Attics, attics, bats in belfries
Schoolboy taught me something naughty.
Danger, Danger, here be Dragons
Wilting flowers die too slowly.
Winter, winter, wherefore art thou?
No one likes to say goodbye.
Sofly, softly, silky strong
I have such nightmares when you cry.
Let go, let go, Goosy Lucy
Necks so pretty in little noosies.
Q:...What the fuck is wrong with me?

It's one of those nights where a girl (boy?) could get lost inside her (his?) own head. I'm not sure where things in the outside world can move aside to fit me in. Larger than life, more alive than you. Glittering in silver slippers and I'm tripping lightly (or just plain tripping) down the stairs, trying to make it before the clock strikes death. Wanting to disappear isn't just a metaphor when you're suddenly stripped of your silks and furs. Your rags don't hide your stretchmarks and I've forgotten if I'm the hero{ine} or the wicked witch.
Life's nothing if not a faery tale. Don't let any lies convince you otherwise. Lies are the only thin
One day little Mandy was lost at the park. She ran and ran until she found an older woman who sat there on a rock, feeding the birds. Mandy quietly walked to the woman, and said nothing, before sitting at the crone's feet. The ancient lady sat ignoring her for many minutes. Little Mandy thought it must have been at least 437 minutes and 25 seconds... but who can say for sure? Suddenly, the old woman snapped her head over to Mandy, and began to speak...
"She looks around the empty cavern, wondering what once filled the void. The last thing she remembers, she was wandering lost through a forest, a dank musty place. When she awoke, it was here.
When the gun smoke clears, will anything we believe in still remain? Hope invested, lives sacrificed for a cause unknown. We are told to fight for our dreams, for our freedom. Thrusting daggers through the hearts of people we've never met, simply because they might be the enemy. Invading soldiers, hailed as heroes, but make sure we don't speak of the smoking corpses of children, the ravishing of young mothers, the murder of farmers who want nothing more than to survive.
It startles me how much love is like war.
Let me tell you something you may not guess. You don't know me. There is so much depth to this soul and you can't even scratch the surface. There's a mask safely in place, and it keeps the peace. But my mask... well here's the thing. My mask has stuck to my skin, melting into the flesh and it clings ever tighter to my cells. It's become so much a part of me, some days I wonder where it ends and I truly begin. I can't even tell of the mutiny I've committed upon my person to escape this fate. Razors and knives and rusty blades, peeling back layer upon layer of skin and tissue. If I dig deep enough, I can rip off this pretense and dance under th
Brutality of the mind causes whirlwinds of terror when you try to sleep, and the toy soldiers point a mocking finger and laugh. The night light (which you always deny using) casts wicked shadows on the walls as you lay trembling. Don't blink or they'll leave their wall and come for you. As much as the terror quakes inside you, you need to believe that they're real, otherwise you'd feel utterly alone. Need to believe, and believe you do. Shaking and fidgeting, waiting for one of these shadow monsters to grow brave enough, waiting for one of them to detach from their resting place, and fuck if that one didn't just become 3D... Ideas flood your

It's been probably over a year since I've been on here. More like three since I've written anything worth sharing. I need to start creating again, but nobody reads when I do, so I don't really see the point.
