Awe fuck! Triple fuck banchee yell!

Mama found my weed...
Threw it off the back deck...
I swear i am in hell!

(Mama Mama how does your garden grow? Big tall and green fuzzy stalks of mind free..Mama tossed the seeds and would shit a brick if she knew what she did grow...it might kill her if the devil in me ever decides to let her know..teehee!...strand forever named..Crayyzee ass shit jenny's Mama grows! We all giggle and have another toke...)

She fucking does not get me..
I'm sooo friggin ouuta my mind oppressed... stressed...depressed..
I ease my wanderlust and restlesness with panting, rolling, wild nights by the river hot sex..

Jen's a wild child stuck in butt fuck
Egypt...

This hole bites it...
Blink you miss it!
But they won't miss me..
Hear me scream!!!!

(tosses back head and wails into her stinking atmosphere, makes herself heard loud and fucking clear...middle finger thrown up at her starry night sky)

Dad walked in on one of my mad humps.. ..
Took me several minutes to notice, was lost in dudes pumping and right good and drunk...
Caught me dawgy style with Dwayne, and i was juuust about to cum!

He grounded me...2 weeks in this dive?
I swear Dad..i will jump!
You just dont understand Dad..
You have never felt that hot..
I was driven by love...just was not my fault!
I swear...let me looose or i'lllll....
Toss myself off the deck with my pot...!!
Land broken and twisted on the jagged rocks...

My blood on your hands Dad!
My luck it would just paralyze me...
A teenage fuck high paraplegic...

My Gawd my life is a tragedy!!

Growing up with a Mohawk and pyramid studs surrounding the band patches on my vest, this should be fun. Just so I'm clear though, choose from suicidal or dead milkmen? I see a link for the ramones as well. Am I confined to those groups or can I use another of my choosing? (Mainstream is contradictive to the punk rock genre. Agnostic front, cro-mags, blood for blood. Now that's some good ol fashioned hardcore punk rock. My opinion)

Sandra was a punk rocker.
Damn your eyes bass playn’ arrogant bitch.
Long black hair, so so fine.
She wore it up for gigs.

All flour-glue, stabby get back,
jabby dog-neck collar.
Trench-coat, sure, but come fuck me boots
the only thing worn, overall.
Buzzcock’n orgasm addict she was in bed!

Loved the Ramones; loved the idea
of Choosing family home,
brothers in Ideal, so brothers in name
- even looked like one!

Skinny, impossibly tall.
Shaped all ‘downward’ and ‘difficult’.
Like ‘stand dead still, let pavement move along’.
A gliding manikin of disinterest.

With a tiny, excitable,
bouncing bumpkin,
million-miles-an-hour kerpowing!;
describing the wild thing
‘round some crazy orbit he saw inside her.
Desperate to catch that eye.

And then they tried to institutionalize him.
Another story; but she stood Tall,
then he dumped her all because
he stood too small beside her.

I always loved and will
love my girl from mars.

Only Maybelline Knows

She knows what it’s like.
She’s grabbed hold of my face, and
kissed it, leaving an ivory
foundation—bloodless,
pasty as death-warmed-over, Maybelline.

She knows that it hides the
vulnerability, when I line my eyes with
her kohl; “Blackest Black—Lasting Drama”
(aptly named….)

No one sees the rage, the tears,
the hurt,
hurt
hurt….some,
my own doing, but
Maybelline can tell that
no one gets it. They don’t
“get” me.

I went to see Doc Maarten—he
shod my feet, but my parents think
he’s a shrink.  Good enough—they
have no clue; only Maybelline
does.  

She’s got the blacks and blues, to
hide the ones in my soul, where
the sad poetry drips from.  I can’t
figure out what’s wrong, but
I know what’s not right.

Maybelline is The Goddess—
she’s got it all figured
out.  I love you, Maybelline, and
that’s the only truth that’s real.

I’d try your pink lipstick, but
It’s too damning for me and makes
me feel fake.   Stick with the night-hues—
they go better with the runs in
my tights.

I’ve never belonged in this
world.  It’s just……it’s just…..
I don’t know. If I find the place
where the rest is,
will you come with me,
Maybelline?

Just beautiful Madame, thank you.

I only know how I feel - something like:
White mud troweled over troubled waters,
hardening into another brick in the wall. And angst.
I loved this.
It felt super teenager to me.

Thanks J, love to you

Oh Madame L...this is really quite touching...and just bursts with those out of place teen feeling...
When we start dressing to wear our mood...
I love you picked something Mainstream like Maybeline and makeup...
Sometimes thats huge for a kid...

Very nice piece.. Exactly what i was hoping for...
