Pictures
The faces on your screen
No pores or pimples
Big eyes and cute noses
Are twenty but look sixteen
Like they're meant to be seen
They have big chests
Big thighs
But not from fat or cellulite
They have muscles that can jiggle
Long legs and their waists snatched
And my stupid self will never match
Their beauty and glow
You like them I know
If I could change my body
I would make me
A little bit taller
My waist a lot smaller
My eyes a lot bigger
I'd have that hourglass figure
Maybe then I'd believe...

Stranger in the mirror
Have you hid in the shadows?
Been afraid for too long?
Never had the guts to sing your own song?
Does a stranger hide in the mirror for thee?
Well today's a new era
Turn around and see
Look in the mirror and determine who you want to be
Not like her
Not like him
With every thought to be like them
Your light inside will surely dim
So put on some new pants
Color your hair
Cause if you continue down this path of despair
To be like them, it will get you nowhere
So put on a smile
Let it stay for a while ...

Dare
Trying to taste the salt
from the dead sea,
in the pauper's sea.
In the non-navigable sea
of the migrant,
in the eternal movement
of beings who fear
their origin and their destination.
They don't always realize
the adult in the lines
from a boy's hand.

I feel blind
To my past
To my present
To my future
Did I not learn anything?
Do I not see what’s happening?
Do I not know what I want?
I did
I do
But I don’t…
I don’t know how to obtain it
Once I have it
How do I maintain it?
It takes consistency
History is repeating
I want the ability
To be more than okay…

A Real Question
Currently thinking about
The road I’d mistaken
For the road I did not take
I’m going down the same road
Just a detour around the lake
That I was too scared to cross
Too lazy to take a second look…
It was a little deep
The mountain I went around
Was only a hill that looked steep
The cliff looked like the end…
Am I fool because I didn’t take that leap?
I didn’t think of a way to cross the lake
What could’ve been a few hours
Fell into days
Why didn’t I just go up that hill?
The...

Rivers of red
Eyes with rivers of red
Watching all the words you never said
They filter through
Leaving drops of blue
Into a pool of time
Between me and you
Watching all the words you never said
They filter through
Leaving drops of blue
Into a pool of time
Between me and you

Adulation
The room
Remained empty
And the only option available
Was a mirror
Hanging broken
From a wall
But she didn't want
The stark truth of that
She didn't want that at all

Split Mind
Its hard for me to understand
The truth or my destiny
I continue to think
My mind is my recipe
But torn between two sides
Never truly whole
Like two personalities
But interlinking souls
I'm a mystery
Even to myself
Unsure of who I am
Unsure of what will help
I get lost in the meaning
I struggle just to live
Alone in my thoughts
I'm alone on a grid
Wishing for purpose
I look for direction
Needing some answers
This test, one correction
Locked in a safe ...

Mirror
In the theatre of Mirrors, one death leads to another
and each mirror cracks like a ripple of a River.
Being bashful I did not look at my reflections,
And did not hope to know them for out of the cracks
I witnessed butterflies and moths that cast my shadows,
Rejoice in Death.
Death the mirror of Life,
I reflect my wounds upon you
And no mark of shape will be left
From which I fell.

Drown
So many questions we ask
But no answers are found
Suggesting the task
But nothings around
Compressing the trash
Can't hear a sound
Forgotten the facts
And lost underground
I'm checking the past
The truth that I'm bound
My loneliest path
Underneath i will drown
The fish I will catch
The Cerberus hound
The bright fiery blast
This hell is my town
I light up the match
The king has been crowned
Now burnt straight to ash
The holiest mound
The light won't attach ...

Dreamt of a Palmist
Who studies hand riverbeds Teach me what you see.
