Internal Nuisances
I can smell the water....
As the night glistens off the salted sea
Loud banter of crashing waves
Giving a sense of serenity
Sense of peace
It's what I need
I'm drowning in a fortress of uncertainty
Playing the tunes of others pianos
Until my muted sound is deafening
Tired of defending
My internal beauty with external explorations
I can not be held to such high standards
I allow myself to be on a level that then hurts once shattered
Confessions of late night regression
Fights over lack of persuasion
No desires to devour my womanly nature
Read my kinky stature
And take advantage of the loneliness that consumes my heart
I just want that spark
Not labeled a target by
lyrical snipers
lurking marks
Being folded into origami hearts,
Always the same point to start
same folds that lead to the end
I can not pretend
That I meet normal standards....
I do not stand formal at desires door,
But I stay lurking in the corner,
Caught by those wanderers......
In which gamble like dice
Thrown into hot ice,
and fried by the icicles of life
As the night glistens off the salted sea
Loud banter of crashing waves
Giving a sense of serenity
Sense of peace
It's what I need
I'm drowning in a fortress of uncertainty
Playing the tunes of others pianos
Until my muted sound is deafening
Tired of defending
My internal beauty with external explorations
I can not be held to such high standards
I allow myself to be on a level that then hurts once shattered
Confessions of late night regression
Fights over lack of persuasion
No desires to devour my womanly nature
Read my kinky stature
And take advantage of the loneliness that consumes my heart
I just want that spark
Not labeled a target by
lyrical snipers
lurking marks
Being folded into origami hearts,
Always the same point to start
same folds that lead to the end
I can not pretend
That I meet normal standards....
I do not stand formal at desires door,
But I stay lurking in the corner,
Caught by those wanderers......
In which gamble like dice
Thrown into hot ice,
and fried by the icicles of life

You continue to flatter me Willow. I know if this whirlwind all to well though, for it is in my head each time I let the pen pour on paper

"Lyrical snipers" is an awesome description. I enjoy reading of your journey and yearnings for authenticity. Brava!
I thank you for reading my spirit. Gahdess, you always seems to pin point my character through my words. "Yearnings for authenticity" yes!!!! So simply put yet such magnitude in the meaning!

"I can not pretend
That I meet normal standards.... " <<<- normalcy is so overrated. ;)
