Blank

Her eyes remain blank
She stares with deep thought
Her face shows no emotion
Put in this world to rot
Her music blaring,
She sits still as stone, staring
her lip quivers,
up her spine, she shivers
Stuck with a look so miserable and so cold
Is she alive?
Does she cry?
Is she pretty?
Does she have that certain twinkle in her eye?
Look closely, Her face you see smiling.
Her mind, She's slowly dying.

Dear Nobody

Can you try and wonder what its like to be me?
Judged, rejected, and denied of sanity.
Could you try and wonder what it feels like to be me?
swollen cuts, stinging so deep..
Do you ever wonder what its like in my head?
Constantly wishing you were dead, dead, dead.
Have you ever wondered what its like beneath my skin?
One hundred percent effort, but youll never win.
Can you even fathom the wickedness within?
or maybe the desire to sin, sin, sin.
Could you even imagine the violence inside?
and the burning hate reflected through my eyes?
Do you ever pretend what you would do, if you were me and I was you?
Have you ever tried to be like me for a day, and bite your tongue til it bleeds as a 
mean to watch what you say?
Can you handle the difficulty in being soulless and cold?
Could you stand the pressure or would you fold?
Try to be me for a day and maybe you'll see why I am this way.

Advantage

Go ahead,
heres your advantage
take your chance
It never stopped you before
Go ahead,
keep coming back for more
take advantage
It never stopped you before
Haven't you seen enough of me
Haven't you taken a chance with me
why  more?
I'm too sick
I'm too weak
I can't see straight
I can't think clearly
Go ahead,
take advantage of me
Heres your chance
Whats stopping you now?
I thought you liked it this way
I thought you wanted me this way
Am I too naked for you?
Am I too tied up for you?
Go ahead,
Heres your chance
It never stopped you before.

Good Riddance

You and me
forever together we will be
whatever happened
to what you told me?
you said:
Best friends, we are
Best friends, til' the end
No matter the strain
Nor' the strife
Best friends for life.
Now you say nothing,
You simply ignore
You just can't wait to get rid of me.
If you know me as well as you say,
and you know me enough to read me clear as day,
you should also know I am stupid enough to do something stupid.
If you know me as well as you THINK you do,
then you should know when I'm driven to the point,
I'm a very weak and hurt person.
But if you really want me gone,
Then Good Riddance to you.

Insomnia

Eyes wide open, struggling to close
mind with no rest, makes me very upset
I wont sleep tonight, tomorrow night, or the night after that.
I cant. I wont sleep without saying goodnight.
sitting awake for hours, restlessly; very aware of insomnia's powers.
thinking about you, the grass, the flowers.
clocks ticking.. slower and slower
body with no sleep, makes me very weak.
I wont sleep tonight, tomorrow night, or the night after that. I cant
I wont sleep without telling you goodbye
rocking back and forth, ive been sitting awake for hours and hours
sitting; very aware of insomnia's powers.
I wont sleep tonight, I cant..
not without telling you I love you and goodnight.

Black Sheep

The fly on the wall, the stinch fills my nose
dirty spies..
The fish outta' water, the wounds fester
filthy scars..
"Baah" says the black sheep
woe is me.
The ache begins to split, to throb.
The healing process comes to a halt
"bahbah black sheep" says the misfit,
truely bigger and better than you all.
The candid camera claims me meek,
those particularly pathetic think I'm weak.
haha oh but theyll see.
The scarlet stains cover the walls, the blood of the knuckles, spurt into my eyes.
Undeniably
"bah bah" says I, the black sheep.

Rain

I love the rain
I love the sound
Forgive me if I drip in your eyes.
If I was rain,
would I seep into your skin..
If I fell upon you and you didn't brush me away like you do now,
would I become a part of you?
I love the rain
I love the sound
Forgive me if I soak your shirt.
If I was rain,
would you let me wash away your worries?
If I fell upon you and you didn't brush me away like you do now
would I become a part of you?
I love the rain
I love the sound
forgive me if I ruin your shoes
If I was rain,
Would you still hate me?
Would you hate a natural thing?
Would you hate a simple thing?
Apparently you do.

My Love, My Guitar

With six strings, I can express my feelings.
Strum a chord, create a sound
Inspire and admire
Strike some notes, play a tune
With six strings, I can explain myself
and even tell an entire life story.
With six strings, and my fingers controlling them
I am content and in my own realm
With six strings
I belong.
Plucking my six string'
I feel strong.
My love, my guitar

Love Is For Fools

Dear Love, I was a fool for you, and I fell. Oh love, why?
why oh why did you trick me? how could I not see?
How did you manage to blind me?
Dear love, I was the biggest fool for him, and I fell
oh love why? why oh why did I meet him? How did I fall? Why did I give up my all?
Dear love, I'm not a fool anymore, and I shalt not fall.
Oh love, dont you ask me why.
Dont say " Tawny why oh why?"
Because how can I love him without loving me?
How can I even try once more?
to love? to adore?
I told you love, I'm not a fool anymore.

No Title

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it sink like an anchor at sea?
or reek like a corpse and then rot?
Does it ache like a broken bone? or scab and scar over like a battle wound?
Maybe it just spoils like old milk
or does it expire?
