the pain of feeling
Why do feelings have to be so painful as if pain is all we can feel
even when we love it leads to pain
when we hate it leads to more pain
we can't seem to win when it comes to the pain
the pain that inevitably accompanies feelings
I look down at my chest and wish I could rip my heart out
nothing could possibly feel this bad death would be a step up
Being alone hurts so we crave company
the company kills us and we wonder if we are cursed to feel
Feel the need for love for friendship and all the things that naturally disappoint and leave us wondering...

tech-no-logic
Lonely days spent peering into the lives of others
my so called friends whose real names I don't even know
except for a string of letters put together on a screen
when did socialisation become clicking away on a screen in the comfort of your bed
social beings hidden away from society
lost in a virtual world where nothing is real
lol, laugh out loud, now a synonym for smiling at a screen
good intentions I know
trying to bring a planet together and simultaneously driving communities apart
we are friends with people on other continents but don't know our next...

eyes open
Lost too much time in life trying to conform
conforming to a set standard set by folks who had no business setting standards of any sort
so instead of building up my wing muscles to fly
I sat searching for gills to breathe under water
cos I had to be a certain way
a certain way I was not meant to be
so I lost my way
and the worst part
I didn't even know I was lost
in my mind I was striving to reach a set standard
judging myself by benchmarks not meant for me
failing in a world where I should not have been trying to succeed
letting that failure...

now
when I am my own worst enemy
destroying the very things that bring me joy
saying no when all I want to do is say yes
standing in the way of my own happiness
why do I feel this pain
created by my own need to self destruct
My paranoia telling me its only temporary so end it before you no longer have the ability to choose
but why choose pain when the other options are inner peace and joy
why think about what could be
instead of what is... Now

LOVE AND PAIN
we fight hard and love harder
and yet no matter how much we fight
i can't imagine me without you
you who define me
without you i become an empty shell
no purpose or direction
so when i say i hate you
how could i possibly mean it?
i hate you because i love you so much
when you hurt me my heart actually bleeds
and i hate how much power you have over me
the scariest thought i ever had
realizing that if i had to
i would die for you and i wouldn't be able to stop myself
so when i say i hate you
how could i possibly mean it?
when me...

YOU
nothing else matters but how you make me feel
when i'm with you everything else makes like dinosaurs... extinct
all that matters is you and how i can make you happy
living in our own world where no one else exists
no pain no sorrow
just constant ecstasy
like weed i seem to be high on you
and when you leave i experience withdrawal symptoms
nothing else matters but my next dose of you
i try to remember my life before you but i can't
even my memory rejects the notion of life without you
life without you
my greatest fear
and even though we all...

judge me
judge not that ye not be judged
so who made you judge and jury?
ye holy son of God with no sin except you believe your self to be better than me
so you exhort yourself and leave no room for God to exhort you
i stroke all night feasting my eyes on the nakedness of Eve and simultaneously thinking of Bev and because you try to play God and condemn me when he hasn't, you end up condemning yourself
earning a place at the table and kicking away the stool yourself
so again,who made you judge
when Grace says i can see Gods face
all i have to do is ask
so who made...

why
why do you say you don't when your eyes say you do
why do you push me away when we kiss but pull me back when i turn to leave
why does loving me cause you so much pain when all i do is love you
why do you call me and hang up before i pick up
missing me but pushing me away
why do you fight your heart when your heart seems to know best
why cry all day when i could make you smile
tell me you love me but can't be with me
hurting us both when being happy together would be so much easier
together we make magic so why so you settle for muggle
does he make...

EVERYONE
tyranny of the majority the bane of modern society
the mistake of the masses always thinking the masses must be right
but NO
two heads are not always better
the most common excuse ever said
EVERYONE is doing it!!!
when did everyone become the standard for right and wrong?
i pray everyone doesn't start plucking out their eyes
it would be too cool not to do it too
after all everyone is doing it
i would rather be a blind everyone than a seeing no one
tyranny of the majority the bane of modern society
and its not just the kids too the dads want...
