The Purge
Old meals
Arguements
and thoughts
Are forced up
By the invasive
Probe in your throat
Sometimes
When life is too much
Its easier to purge
And convulse
As the darkness leaves
Making you feel lighter
Overfull
Blown up
About to explode
Better let go
Before you break
And become an ugly ruin
of what you were
Purging gets rid of
What you dont need
I dont need my guilt
This is my purge
Arguements
and thoughts
Are forced up
By the invasive
Probe in your throat
Sometimes
When life is too much
Its easier to purge
And convulse
As the darkness leaves
Making you feel lighter
Overfull
Blown up
About to explode
Better let go
Before you break
And become an ugly ruin
of what you were
Purging gets rid of
What you dont need
I dont need my guilt
This is my purge

China Town
My and my friends
Walking around
China Town
Greasy fingers
Sweet tongues
Aching feet
Never end
I beg you please
My heaven
Walking dreamer
Aching stomach
Of food and laughter
We are family
For a day
Trust in another
Walking around
China Town
Greasy fingers
Sweet tongues
Aching feet
Never end
I beg you please
My heaven
Walking dreamer
Aching stomach
Of food and laughter
We are family
For a day
Trust in another

You Sir, Are an Asshole
You sir
Are an idiot
of the highest order
Sometimes
I do wonder
Why you think its smart
Putting people down
Thinking insults are fun
You are never always right
You are never always wrong
You should respect other people
No matter what they have done
But you sir,
Are an asshole
And you do not know
The value of others thoughts
And the strength in themselves
Are an idiot
of the highest order
Sometimes
I do wonder
Why you think its smart
Putting people down
Thinking insults are fun
You are never always right
You are never always wrong
You should respect other people
No matter what they have done
But you sir,
Are an asshole
And you do not know
The value of others thoughts
And the strength in themselves

Blood
In a faded photo
I meet
Your unseeing eye
Your uniform
Familiar
Yet strange to my memories
I never knew you
But my blood did
Maybe thats why
I don
My own uniform
Following your ghost
With my own gun
I meet
Your unseeing eye
Your uniform
Familiar
Yet strange to my memories
I never knew you
But my blood did
Maybe thats why
I don
My own uniform
Following your ghost
With my own gun

Old Bones
Children are ores
Parents hew them from rock
Chipping away the unwanted rubble
And when you arrive
Squalling from the womb
White hot and alive
Each interaction
Each embrace
Is the smiths forge
On your unbeaten soul
You are shaped
And warped
And hammered
Into a tool that others find desirable
But iron will never be gold
beautiful and shining
Zinc will never be titanium
Strong and light
No matter how hard you hammer
The strength with which you hit me
Dent me
I am unmalleable...
Parents hew them from rock
Chipping away the unwanted rubble
And when you arrive
Squalling from the womb
White hot and alive
Each interaction
Each embrace
Is the smiths forge
On your unbeaten soul
You are shaped
And warped
And hammered
Into a tool that others find desirable
But iron will never be gold
beautiful and shining
Zinc will never be titanium
Strong and light
No matter how hard you hammer
The strength with which you hit me
Dent me

Confusing Feelings
How i long for
Someone who understands me
Loves me
Knows me
My family, forced to love me
Never know me
Wouldn't choose me
Do not fill the hole
My friends
I never know
Do they truly like me
Or are relieved to see me go
But there is something wrong with me
I do not understand
Those who speak of lust
Of wanting
For who would want me
And do i want anyone?
What i want
Is to want someone
For more than wanting
Someone who understands me
Loves me
Knows me
My family, forced to love me
Never know me
Wouldn't choose me
Do not fill the hole
My friends
I never know
Do they truly like me
Or are relieved to see me go
But there is something wrong with me
I do not understand
Those who speak of lust
Of wanting
For who would want me
And do i want anyone?
What i want
Is to want someone
For more than wanting

Mirror Musings
Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
Mirror, Mirror i ask you why
My reflection makes me cry
Why my curves have yet to come
Tell me mirror, what did i do wrong
I've done my best with my life
What do i have to make right
For my waist to be smaller
Or i wish i could be taller
It seems to be the case, with the girls i meet
I tried to be kind, and they were bitchy
My reflection is not something you'd see
Way up high, on a big screen
Mirror, mirror please do tell
Why i see myself,...
Who is the fairest of them all
Mirror, Mirror i ask you why
My reflection makes me cry
Why my curves have yet to come
Tell me mirror, what did i do wrong
I've done my best with my life
What do i have to make right
For my waist to be smaller
Or i wish i could be taller
It seems to be the case, with the girls i meet
I tried to be kind, and they were bitchy
My reflection is not something you'd see
Way up high, on a big screen
Mirror, mirror please do tell

Should I?
I want to try this
This... thing i've always been told is wrong
I am terrified of judgement
but that only makes me want it more
I know i am broken, somewhere deep inside
If only people could see that
How deep my feelings hide
Maybe if i do
All these crazy things
I will no longer be broken
Or maybe pigs shall have wings
Before my idea works
But at least i tried, right?
Too long have i been logical
Constricted by others ideas
I will make my own
This... thing i've always been told is wrong
I am terrified of judgement
but that only makes me want it more
I know i am broken, somewhere deep inside
If only people could see that
How deep my feelings hide
Maybe if i do
All these crazy things
I will no longer be broken
Or maybe pigs shall have wings
Before my idea works
But at least i tried, right?
Too long have i been logical
Constricted by others ideas

Reality
You are a world away
Its so easy to pretend you din't exist
When your words, thoughts and feelings
appear as pixels on a screen
I can pretend you're not judging me
And i forget you can tell people what i say
When my own speech, emotions and ideas
Are typed in identical black letters
I never want to meet you online friend
I don't want to hear about who we both know
I want to forget you're real
I never want to see your face
But what happens when virtual talk
Becomes emotions all too real?
I no longer talk to...

Really?
To be honest
I have never seen that
Outside a cartoon
Such antics would put
Tom to shame
My little cat
How ridiculous you are
Staring so imperiously across the room
You ran away once
For two whole months
And when you cam back
Fur glossy and eyes bright
I fed you salmon! (best there was)
As if you hadn't forgotten me
But just now
When you gracefully lept
From your thrown to the ground
You slipped on my paper work
Paws akimbo
Legs pumping
Going no where
I think i have...

Thank You Mother
Now i'm not saying you're perfect
Because you're not
You drink
You shout
You cry
In front of me
But then agian
I'm not perfect
I scream
I hurt
I lie
To you
But you pick me up
In the dark
When you'd rather be asleep
You do your best on my birthdays
Although we really can't afford it
You tell me what i want to hear
Even if you're set in your ways
Yes
You slight me
You remind me
Of my flaws
But you also
Picked me up
Shook me down
And made me the person i am
...
Because you're not

You cry

Self Worth
You were the person i looked up to
My perfect ideal
But then you went and spoiled it all
When you relied on me
And i found you weren't perfect
You were the person i trusted
Beyond anyone else
But then you betrayed me
and blamed me
For your own faults
You were jealous of my idol
So you poisoned it with truth
So entwined with lies
That i only knew one thing
The true nature of you
So you consume my self worth
To inflate your own pride
You live of my acheivements
And leave no satisfaction for myself
My perfect ideal
But then you went and spoiled it all
When you relied on me
And i found you weren't perfect
You were the person i trusted
Beyond anyone else
But then you betrayed me
and blamed me
For your own faults
You were jealous of my idol
So you poisoned it with truth
So entwined with lies
That i only knew one thing
The true nature of you
So you consume my self worth
To inflate your own pride
You live of my acheivements
And leave no satisfaction for myself
