I Choose
So tell me, what restitution is there in the advances of your pursuit?
The sword has been drawn.
the white flag stained,
breached of it's innocence.
Forewarned of this precedent,
Precise unveil.
Precious it all may be,
But the element of surprise -
Recoils for yet another attack.
The simple cycle
You-
lacked to be convinced of.
The never ending
constant:
Tug of war.
The good vs evil--
The brain vs heart--
The actions vs words.
The start...
Oh the beginning,
To the endless
Trapped maze....

YOU
You.
You change your hair--
Your make up
Your friends
Your clothes
Your dreams
Your self identity new and improved
Your walk
Your talk
Your diet
Your books
Your music
Your accessories
You.
You change everything
That can be examined and dissected
By the curious stalking eye
But
You--
My friend, me sweet loving
Fragile friend
Can't change your heart
Your scares
Your lies
Your truths
Your reason for a pulse
Your mistakes
Your defects
Your reasons that make...

But when?
How do you know when
Enough is enough.
When to draw the line?
When the fires burnt out
But smoke makes you blind-
So you stick behind.
Patiently forgetting-
Forgiving.
Leaving your brain
A scrambled chaotic mess.
Holding on to the possibility
Of change.
Trying to force and weld it
With the heat from your hurt.
The pain from the lies
Of what's lies in the picture frame.
Impressing faces to not expose
Your pokered one.
So is this when you know it's done?
The fun is rare, your grasping on ...

Seek and you shall find
And so we seek
For thrill
Love
Home
Freedom
Until we have searched
Through places
People
Items
Addictions
And
After it all
we still are empty
Still feeling something is
Missing
Imbalanced
Satisfaction never achieved
After all the wishing
To find the other side
Where the grass is greener
We give up
And finally give in
To the fact that maybe
We searched everywhere
Except where the problem
Manifested
Ourselves
In our heart
Our head
Our body ...

Teetering
To feel
Not define.
Express
Not impress.
Explore
Not ignore.
Delete
Not repeat.
A simple way
Yet found a stray--
Always shoving away,
To deal with on another day.
And at much dismay
The price you pay,
Is always lingering
In what you say and do.
In what drives and captures
Your heart wiles.
Yet distances yourself miles
From the truth,
The real self.
The buried, broken, burdened self
The one whispering to be healed.
Yet insignificant and illusions
Entrance your mind. ...

Fairy Tales
Tell me again
The fairy tale of love
The one of no pain
Fights
Lies
And heartbreak.
The one where they live
Happily. ever. after.
Where trust
Is never broken.
The stories told,
Are all real.
Tell me again.
Till I forget
The reality of it all.
Tell me again
Till I forget
Why tears run down my face.
Tell me again
Till I forget
Why I'm not walking out the door.
Let me taste what being a princess
Feels like.
So I get bitterness off my tongue.
Let me breath in the...
