MORE POEMS
i wrote this first one last night, at five AM... the rest of them were written at some other point in time, separately....
"cursing god"
get it together, man
scrape your head off of the curb
and try again
you can't stop the rain from falling
but you sure as hell
can build a dam (a god damn?)
don't get caught up in the questions
because there's far too many answers
like using a sieve to save
your sinking boat before
you drown and no one cares
should have brought your floaties
'cause the shore's so far away
that you'll run out of breath
from cursing god
you're the last few, the proud, the brave
that keeps the gates of thought open
while the others think they
rusted shut so many years ago
you can blind them with a light
just hope they hold open their eyes
"a happy mirage"
was there once a way of saying
that you never thought you knew
that the darkest skies above you
would momentarily turn blue
as soon as all your hope is gone
your highest aspirations lost
the bill is sitting on the table
and someone comes to split the cost
your dreams come true
the tale was told
in all esteem and glory
but then you realize that all along
you were reading someone else's story
so your eyes glance back
at what you thought was happiness
and realize your life's a mess
don't get sad, don't get depressed
chances are that there's a knife
in that there drawer
with your name all over it
"waiting for marty"
listening to the silent music
beyond the window sill
whispered words from passers-by
like junk inside a landfill
worthless conversations
wasting words away
until all in all they're meaningless
like dulling down the blade
it seems some things will never change
did you get tthe chance to catch your breath
between the words you wasted
or did you feel the sting of bile
while choking, the last thing your tasted
purge the ignorant as sinners
in the fabled town of salem
our witches hide among us
its sad that most embrace them
"self-absorbed"
try to push it out
although its deep within you now
just flush the poison down
before it tears away your soul
you lived without the suffering
now its pain that makes you whole
an empty threat
that's never given
the latest issue not recieved
between the filthy
yellowed pages
fresh young flesh
was found decieved
and as you swallow your doom whole
without a hint of contemplation
your truest essence is revealed
with pearly white compassion
"hesitate"
this time it's too late
you stepped across that line
you didn't hesitate
i wasn't thinking you would do this
shatter my trust just like a plate
all of these fragile words
cannot help emancipate you
from my wrath
watch your step
don't cross my path
cuz if you do then comes the friction
i'll smack your face and bust your lip
no time to piss no time for bitchin
before it comes time for me to stop
you'll just be cursing your existance
is this enough or do you need another round
to make you change your mind, stay out my business
"web of lies"
don't pretend you're fucking grown up
when you can't play with big boys
a stupid girl like you
could be dismissed just by their toys
do you think you're settled in no
is your heart still set in stone
i don't think you were expecting it
this sledge hammer crushes bone
and flesh and all that comes between
myself and my desires
my needs are severed clean
but don't get so damn defensive
you can't escape this web of lies
this time the spider's done in for
to be eaten by all the flies
swimming in this pool of sadness
drowning in your disguise
of happy laughter, giggles, smiles
echo down the halls
your futer with me doesn not exist
so don't give it another try (just die)
"feel better"
these words like fire
burning my soul
raging my body
i'm losing control
and falling away
there's none you could do
and none you could say
to make me feel better
to keep me still sane
no amount of drugs
can soothe this pain
only touch
only love
can free
this dove
so save yourself
do not mind me
i'm just another
box on a shelf
no more than a face
left in the crowd
such a disgrace
and i'm screaming aloud
"cursing god"
get it together, man
scrape your head off of the curb
and try again
you can't stop the rain from falling
but you sure as hell
can build a dam (a god damn?)
don't get caught up in the questions
because there's far too many answers
