You Don't Know Me
How can you say you know me when all you see if what I choose to show
The person you see isn't real, I’m merely a figment of your imagination if you will
Who I really am is behind locked doors, under covers, hidden beneath pillows.
I say I trust you but someone controlled by rules can become a great liar.
I wish to trust you with who I am, to show you what's underneath my skin
But I tell you something, and then you go and tell him.
So can you really be angry with me when I close my door and cover my windows?
I only locked you out because you carried a...

I (dont) lie
I lie. I lie about everything all the time to everyone. I lie and say that I’m ok when I am dying inside. I smile and laugh it off when someone says I look sad, or say I’m just tired. I lie and say their words don’t effect me. I lie and say, it’s ok everything is ok. I even lie to myself, saying that it will get better, everything is gonna be great soon. I know that’s not true. I lie. But I guess that’s what being human is right? Lying to yourself to make it through the day. Lying to others to pretend you are ok. That’s what it’s like to be human right? That’s what being human is to me. For...

The Ambition of a Queen
The Lonely feeling of the dollar bill in my pocket, is a lot more painful than the lonely feeling from my Lady between my thighs. I’d rather work hard to build a solid foundation, to live comfortable in my eyes…
Soon, when the future becomes the present and I’m living comfortably. I’ll lay in my Big bed that I bought with my Invested money and make Deep sensual Love to my Comfortable wife, all the while rejoicing and thanking GOD that we worked smarter and not harder for our entire life….
For now, when my Lady begins to yearn, I’ll comfort her with my Successful DREAMS and think...

the end
in the end there is nothing
nothing to hide
nothing to find
nothing to do or cry
the darkness is full
not a light to be seen
in the end it is cold
so cold that you stop
your blood runs cold at the thought
is this what death is like
the peace of the night
not a star in sight
is this the end of my pain
the end of my tears
is this the end of life
is this the end...
nothing to hide
nothing to find
nothing to do or cry
the darkness is full
not a light to be seen
in the end it is cold
so cold that you stop
your blood runs cold at the thought
is this what death is like
the peace of the night
not a star in sight
is this the end of my pain
the end of my tears
is this the end of life
is this the end...

Hidden
My hearts a pool of acid
My tears are shards of glass
I sit in the darkness
As time goes flying past.
I watch in silence
I cant breathe
As my world collapses
Was it all just make believe?
A series of lies?
Lies I told myself
Were they your design?
Was this the plan?
Manipulate my mind
And twist my soul
So when you were done
I was no longer whole?
A shadow of who I was
A spectre in my life
Floating through the cacophony
The despair
I'm Drowning now
Drown in the waves of regret ...
My tears are shards of glass
I sit in the darkness
As time goes flying past.
I watch in silence
I cant breathe
As my world collapses
Was it all just make believe?
A series of lies?
Lies I told myself
Were they your design?
Was this the plan?
Manipulate my mind
And twist my soul
So when you were done
I was no longer whole?
A shadow of who I was
A spectre in my life
Floating through the cacophony
The despair
I'm Drowning now
Drown in the waves of regret ...

i want to make movies in the 1930's
and metamorph into a stegosaurus,
or a spoon! to be a pelican devouring

on Saturn's ring.
i want to surf on cupid's arrow, to be the
dying bee dancing drunkenly in some
ludicrous cartoon. to be a mordern Poe,
an Arthur Gordon Pym, whose voice

The Monster Inside
The tiny box is moving from side to side.
The chains wrapped around are beginning to, untie.
It wont be long till it wins, the battle happening within.
I cannot scream, I cannot run,
For the thing inside of me is coming undone.
All I can do is just smile and wait,
Till the monster within me consumes my fate.
The chains wrapped around are beginning to, untie.
It wont be long till it wins, the battle happening within.
I cannot scream, I cannot run,
For the thing inside of me is coming undone.
All I can do is just smile and wait,
Till the monster within me consumes my fate.

Hidden Away
Smiling because it's easier,
but it hurts to hid everything.
Telling them you've been sleepier,
they can't tell the difference between the real thing.
But can you really blame them?
They don't know the struggle,
the attempts to reach an equilibrium,
your world in a crumble.
Hiding everything just makes sense,
it really does.
It saves the pain from being too immense,
but then again, pain is all there ever was.
So I hide behind the walls I've built,
hoping no one ever finds me.
But my heart is beginning to...
but it hurts to hid everything.

But can you really blame them?

the attempts to reach an equilibrium,

Hiding everything just makes sense,

It saves the pain from being too immense,

Another day
In you I found
My voice
My sunshine
My morning dew
In you I
Found my
Demons
My darkness
In the still of
The night
I hear your
Voice echo
In my mind
I am lost
I am dead
I am forgotten
Then you speak
I gasp for air
To live
Another day
My voice
My sunshine
My morning dew
In you I
Found my
Demons
My darkness
In the still of
The night
I hear your
Voice echo
In my mind
I am lost
I am dead
I am forgotten
Then you speak
I gasp for air
To live
Another day

Anxiety
I want more, not just Little Mermaid more,
But more to the point where I am stuffed;
So full of images of people, places and things
That not even the 'big and tall' stores will have my size.
I can't just sit here, watching and waiting,
Seeing people going there and doing that.
Meanwhile, 'm stuck and soon
Nothing will be left to be seen or done.
I want to go on adventures;
Take the road never travelled on;
Discover things that no one knew existed,
Accomplish a childhood dream I never knew I had.
But...

Don't Believe My Smile
I wish I could close my eyes and sleep tonight
I wish I could erase those bad memories from my heart
I wish I could forget who I am just for one day
Please don't believe my smile
Don't believe when I say I'm fine
Don't let me give up, hold my hand
Tell me I will be okay
Tell me I won't be forgotten
Tell me I still have a chance, no need to be hidden
Don't allow me to hurt my lips with this fake smile
Don't believe it ‘cause I'm bleeding inside
I'm weak like a sick flower
I could die if you leave me alone
I'm so afraid of...

Provocative and Reckless Virgins
I have intoxicated myself into the deepest slumber
been so high above the ground that bold and highlighted letters
looked like dancing numbers
I have carried tar, grief and pain in my heart
let it spill on cupid before he could even throw a dart
My tongue has danced in the most deceitful fashion feigning love
I have masked crows as innocent doves
I've has roaming hands and wandering eyes
and Oh God have I lied
I've kept an open mind for the opinions of the most horrific beast
with a lonely heart I preyed one those fuller than I
