Hollow
I am hollow! echoing the emotions of those around me, feeling twisted and distorted. A mellow horror rises around me forcing me to laugh and squeeze in my contempt for all the fuckers that try to make me breathless. Pitch black in daylight, I step unnoticed, pointless, blank and tormented. I reach you...all of you! Not one of you leaches reach back! cradling the burdens, bearing your cross... I am not a Christ! Sunlight empties me revealing finally that I am bloody HOLLOW!

Mad
I had done no wrong, so how is it that i'm mad?? truth is i had been dreadfully nervous for i was accuse of such horrific crimes and yet i still take the blame.. I had never wanted to hurt her but it was her eye that drove me to do it. I had even fallen in love upon her smile but all the while, deep down in my soul i fancy her dead! but how is it that i'm mad? i heard all the angels in heaven and the demons below the sea; they all wanted her dead! so how calmly i can pen the whole story.. but after i finish will you still deem me mad? because of the whispers in my head?

Fly
Hell cried tears but just blood remain
everything I deserve was granted by a joke,

Power
low yet strong
I rise
Wave
fly
everything I deserve was granted by a joke,
or the happy thought of
breaking the broken
time is drowning while life flashes
realize
shine
Power
low yet strong
I rise
Wave
fly

Bi-Polar
I'm the girl who is lost in space,
the girl who is disappearing always,
forever
fading away and receding farther and farther into the background. Someday I will
suddenly leave,
but the artificial warmth of my smile,
that phony,
clownish curve,
the kind you see on miserably sad people and villains in Disney movies,
will remain behind as an ironic remnant.
I am the girl you see in the photograph from some party someplace or church,
the one who is in fact soon to be gone.
When you look at the picture again,
I want to assure you,
I...
