No mistake, has been greater-
Than the day I became a boy.
Can't go back-
On those words,
Nor the way I look.
In this body,
Trapped in here,
Exists a boy and girl.
So I say, so I look,
As masculine as possible.
Yet if you know,
Surely it's not obvious-
I hide the parts of girl.
Than the day I became a boy.
Can't go back-
On those words,
Nor the way I look.
In this body,
Trapped in here,
Exists a boy and girl.
So I say, so I look,
As masculine as possible.
Yet if you know,
Surely it's not obvious-
I hide the parts of girl.

OOPS!
A fine mistake is a lucid dream
There's no mistaking the craze
of the gleam
Brightly incandescent yet
a hidden depth, make's me question
all that's left.
If one minor error causes a stumble
One trip on this street
may cause a real tumble
Grasping direction in the wind
is not me
yet...
Who were the we
I pretended to be
Back in the day
when I still could not see
or know
Me
Today She Turns 14.
Today I wake up,
and I know its my fault.
My bestfriend, she's bleeding.
I'm the teacher, by default.
Once upon I time,
I illusioned it was "cool",
to show your scars and slit your wrists,
and now I'm proven to be the fool.
I found my little heartbreak,
in a puddle of O negative.
Scraped her off the tile slow,
and mopped up all her precious red.
I gave her the danger,
introduced her to the blade....
She's gotta be fixed by someone, by me,
the weapon, the mistake I made.

Progression
I used to sit here
and ponder , wonder
does anyone hear
why does one bother ,
I'd look through the tears
of myself when one was younger,
I'd get nowhere near
and then I'd lose my bubble ,
old atmospheres
did get into some trouble ,
pressurisation , atmospheric
wavelengths
cards on oak of table
laid and played
without holds ,
mistakes I made
only known
as I grew old ,
the all I had
now gone
some of it sold ,
but it's not so bad
as my now . it does unfold
If the cap doesn't fit ,
that's that
then so be it ,
if it does
and it falls
I won't then stamp on it ,
if all time does so pause
I'll wind it to re-set
as I know in gone falls
I have to get past it .

"The Line"
It burned the rubber of my sneakers.
A shock of red mean delirium makes me jump back.
You meet my eyes with a bit of a sad puppy look.
Because I kicked you away from me within an instant.
Taking a deep breath,
Turn away from your face,
Because my mistake was letting you in.

We All Fall Down (A Pint-Sized Poem)
I made a mistake.
Her name isn't important.
Nor is his name.
Or those friends that were only friendly when it suited them.
And not when I actually needed friends.
But they...
Ah yes, they were my mistakes.
The friend that ditched me.
The boy who broke me.
The girl that sewed me up just to rip me apart.
And the friend that I lost without lifting a finger.
I wanted to blame myself.
Then I decided to blame them.
But now, yes now I know the truth.
There was no faults.
No blame.
No guilt.
Just me.
A foolish girl, who wanted to please everyone.
But instead I ended up feeding...
Yes, feeding.
Feeding those mistakes.

The longing. I waited for years, years for that day. The date was set, on the calendar it lay. But she got in the way, in the way of our love. She came and she left, like the stars from above. We finally touched, our hearts as one. The whole day I longed, longed for one kiss. But she got in the way, and I was to pay. And then you were gone, back on a plane. I hung my head low, cowering in shame. But now I have you, the world is right. The longing, my darling, I no longer fight.

THE MISTAKE I MADE
The mistake I made was to be so overeducated
That I could not attract a man
They just released a study
Where women care about a man's education
Reversed...a man does not give a damn
So good for me all those degrees
Men don't give a shit
All they want is beauty
A rich girl
And a good fuck

Deadly Sins
Finalizing the finality of the decision I make
That is not my best trait
He wasn't killed
But maybe I wish he was
If there was a way to take back the trust
I would
If there was a way to stop myself from being a child
Oh I think I would do that
Without a heartbeat
I laid there
My mind rushing as fast as it ever had
There were two choices
#1) Deal with the fact that he did what he did and move on like I should have,
Let my family be the same never tell anyone
It wouldn't have made a difference to them
Maybe not even me1
#2) Go on do not give up and say it was a lie,
There could have been a death in the case
It would have been my word against his
There are things we will never do.
My family had some importance to me so I did both of those
If there was a chance to only do one I would take by mistake two and go back to one like I have for the past few years
It was the deadliest decision I had ever made
Something that could have caused much pain to the people around me
He would have lost his job
I wish he did
But the needs of the Many are greater...
Than the needs of the one...

Risk
OUCH slapped in the face by another cock-sucker
who's just pinned my heart to the floor
Drag it why don't you just a little more
ha-ha just another rendezvous or a score?
Hush, can you hear it's still hanging on?
Ugh shut the fuck up with your useless explanations!
It's already beating it's way back to you for it loves you so
Thanks for the gentlemanly warning though
Oh and not to mention the dash of salt you added to the wound!
Well the future is unknown but one things for sure
fuck you and fuck her too!
