Nuclear Family
Have you tested your nuclear family today?
You may need to
There's been a nation wide falling out amongst this group
I wouldn't get to close
You may catch what they already have
Once contaminated,
Like so many American families
You'll never leave your home again

I Don't Believe This! On Our Wedding Day?!
On Sunday, Laura was
on her way to church
only to be stopped by
seeing Tommy naked
and humping Julia.

Don't go around
Don't go around
Talking behind my back
To you
Snobbish friends
Because I hate
When you do that
You have no right
To do that
Also when you do that
You also hurt me badly
And I must
Tell you that
I hate that very much
Tell me what I supposed
To do with you
Because I don't trust you
At all
I want to break our friendship
Please go and live your
Life alone
And I will also
Live my life alone
Also, I don't need a friend
Like that
Talking behind my back
To you
Snobbish friends
Because I hate
When you do that
You have no right
To do that
Also when you do that
You also hurt me badly
And I must
Tell you that
I hate that very much
Tell me what I supposed
To do with you
Because I don't trust you
At all
I want to break our friendship
Please go and live your
Life alone
And I will also
Live my life alone
Also, I don't need a friend
Like that

I am working my way back to you Father
I am working my way back to you Father
I am very sorry for all my bad behavior
But I was frustrated
With the poems I was writing for you
Because I was stuck
Writing poems for you
I started writing some poems for you
But I couldn't get right
So I had to erased it and started again
A few times
Because I wasn't satisfied with
The way it was coming out
Maybe I need to put my brain to rest
And start to vent a little
All day today
I am very sorry for all my bad behavior
But I was frustrated
With the poems I was writing for you
Because I was stuck
Writing poems for you
I started writing some poems for you
But I couldn't get right
So I had to erased it and started again

Dear Reader
This must be what they talk about.
When they enter the fictional world,in and out.
So let us travel to a fairytale.
Written fully by ink.
It may not be real,but it makes you think.
Read this story as it evolves.
And we get rainbow clothes.
Our story eventually subsides.
After a thousand magical nights.
This story will end - so let's go to Neverland.
Write our story in this magical land.
I know there's adventures that await.
Let me be Wendy to your Peter Pan.
And use a glass,ink filled pen.
Promise...

God Loves Me, Not Enough To Save Me.....
When I read about the beautiful word,
am I reminded of the herd,
you see, my god truly loves me,
but its not enough to save me.
My demons have control of my mind,
and their seething is leaving me blind
I can't relax or try to unwind
keepers over seekers can't find.
The marbles that sometimes kiss,
passionately with such bliss
Those teenage years discovery
they wish for me to bury.
I'm not born to be conservative,
Australians are quite determinist
Sexuality is lost in presumed
Innocence...

The Space Between
She's always been something special.
Someone who always had the right words,
the right touch,
the right look,
the right everything for every occasion.
Growing up together,
we were friends before we ever knew what relationships were about.
We laughed before we knew what heartbreak
felt like.
Shared secrets before we understood
their weight.
She's my anchor,
a constant in a world forever changing.
They say a man can't have a woman for a best friend.
They,
whoever they are,
were...

An Unspoken Truth
Reflecting on the toxic relationship I was in earlier this year, there's a profound truth that I have learned. A truth that's unseen. Unspoken. The forbidden truth. The truth that inconveniences men who don't get a lot of women. It is this very truth that shakes me to my core. Fear. So much fear around it.
As a woman with a more positive aura than the man I was with and who was an easy magnet for men, I knew from the beginning that I felt uncomfortable. But as usual, I ignored that feeling.
He was one of those nice guys who said all the right words, but his actions...

Breaking Point
Lately,
I've been bursting at the seams,
a raging pit of anger.
Gears grinding, smoking, danger,
a heart attack in a chokehold,
my own filthy, sadistic beast of burden,
looking for somebody to hold.
Teeth clenched tight like a vice,
knuckles white, blood cold as ice.
A furnace fed with old regrets,
burning bridges, no safety nets.
Torn between the urge to break
or let the madness ricochet.
A ticking bomb, a loaded gun,
no turning back, the fuse is run.
Echoes of battles fought alone,
shattered glass...

Lizard Minded. Capitalism
It is said
It is only
Moral Capitalism
That can save
Our way of life
That we know
Or we will be
Forever Chained
To the Lizard Minded
Capitalism
We Suffer From

I'M Gonna Be An Expert
Hold on a minute
Let me
Understand
What your saying
Your joining
A new course
At your university
And you want me to
Do the same
To Learn
What i already understand eh
How much Money

For all those books
For a piece of paper
Called a PHD
In Commonsense
Logical Reasoning
OH my
Did they lower
The IQ standards
For this course
OH they did
Twice
Let me
Understand

Black Box
This black box
I keep my soul
Thoughts kept locked
In control?
Behind the smiles
A heart of glass
The agony piles
All things must pass?
The pain and tears
The ticking clocks
All thoughts and fears
In this black box
I keep my soul
Thoughts kept locked
In control?
Behind the smiles
A heart of glass
The agony piles
All things must pass?
The pain and tears
The ticking clocks
All thoughts and fears
In this black box
