Higgins Junior High
Twenty something
daydreams
smell of Gardenia
sipping mint sun tea ...
Spring study hall
in the school cafeteria
Mindy
with her boyfriend
Playing with his
curly hair
whispering in his
attentive ear
Claiming her man
marking her
territory
like a she cat in the wild
I can't help
but stare
wanting to so
crash their scene
Till Mindy rises
a toss of her
jet black mane
as she...
daydreams
smell of Gardenia
sipping mint sun tea ...
Spring study hall
in the school cafeteria
Mindy
with her boyfriend
Playing with his
curly hair
whispering in his
attentive ear
Claiming her man
marking her
territory
like a she cat in the wild
I can't help
but stare
wanting to so
crash their scene
Till Mindy rises
a toss of her
jet black mane
as she...

A moment of Clarity
I have never used the term Carpe Diem as i have everything planned out for the future, that is my structure for life or better yet it's my foundation until recently I had goals, things that would motivate me to push for what my goals where, a support system to my structure but now I must adjust go back to the drawing board to figure out where I go from here. So in a way, kind of I am living my life for the now.

I'm dreaming of the abys
Sway vision moves my decision
Like I can feel again, and puzzle up a point
A reason to be... I might as well be a tree
Just growing... I'm a being.
And the universe is a predator
A supernova is a vail of joy
A beautiful death, a new toy.
Creating, devouring
Stealing its own meaning
Lost in shadows
Above and below
I feel small.. so small.
What matters?
I don't know...
My pathetic existence
It could be just a resistance
from living or dying...
I'm a projection
A dream inside a dream ...
Like I can feel again, and puzzle up a point
A reason to be... I might as well be a tree
Just growing... I'm a being.
And the universe is a predator
A supernova is a vail of joy
A beautiful death, a new toy.
Creating, devouring
Stealing its own meaning
Lost in shadows
Above and below
I feel small.. so small.
What matters?
I don't know...
My pathetic existence
It could be just a resistance
from living or dying...
I'm a projection
A dream inside a dream ...

On seperation
Of all voices
the one most poignant
says change
has been minimal
I was already here
some years ago

A Guided path
I AM Anita
I walk the path that is my own
I'm not sure where it leads but I have my feet planted to the ground and my eyes wide open and my heart on my sleeve
You look at me in questioning
Where is she going
Who is she
I'm feeling a little lost but leave me be
My life is taking me through these obsticals and I have no idea what it all means
I'm hurting inside, I'm broken in several pieces
But still I'm standing with a smile on my face with a light but heavy heart.
Love has failed me
I've failed myself
So I'm walking this path ...
I walk the path that is my own
I'm not sure where it leads but I have my feet planted to the ground and my eyes wide open and my heart on my sleeve
You look at me in questioning
Where is she going
Who is she
I'm feeling a little lost but leave me be
My life is taking me through these obsticals and I have no idea what it all means
I'm hurting inside, I'm broken in several pieces
But still I'm standing with a smile on my face with a light but heavy heart.
Love has failed me
I've failed myself
So I'm walking this path ...

Wish I Was Beautiful
Wish I looked perfect like every supermodel you see in the magazines
Wish I was taller than 5'1 with clear smooth like silk skin and had a thin shape and got rid of this childlike round face
Wish I could have cheek bones so high and sculpted they would make a plastic surgeon jealous
Wish I had a smile that shined brighter than the sun and stunned everyone around me.
Wish I was gorgeous in every way, I wish I was beautiful.
I wish to God I had thighs just a little less wider so they could fit into some cute, stylish in season jeans and not be called mom jeans for...

A GOLDEN FEATHER
The deeply cracked and darkened ash crumbles,
As the forgotten souls of centuries ago sweep past,
And fill our heads with contradictory thoughts,
My green leaf like eyes drowning,
Showering the lit cigarette,
Enhancing my dark desired craving for death.
Brutally broken and cut lips drawing death from a golden feather,
And ambitiously effecting my oxygen source with a deadly virus.
My mind still arguing with yesterday,
And soul dying tomorrow,
I shall weep today,
And still crave that ever slight long lost...
As the forgotten souls of centuries ago sweep past,
And fill our heads with contradictory thoughts,
My green leaf like eyes drowning,
Showering the lit cigarette,
Enhancing my dark desired craving for death.
Brutally broken and cut lips drawing death from a golden feather,
And ambitiously effecting my oxygen source with a deadly virus.
My mind still arguing with yesterday,
And soul dying tomorrow,
I shall weep today,
And still crave that ever slight long lost...

Grasshopper (TW)
TW NONCONSENT
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me....
I was just a little thing
Grasshopper, really
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
Before I was a cats' claw
I was kitten soft
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
While at first he seemed friendly
I soon began to envy
A world without him
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
His horrific touch
And that sentence says...
Burn the night
