Price of Perfection
The price of perfection, And the recent deduction, To keep up the function, And become a swan, To show a sanction, Have dedication, To the craft of perfection, And the show of intention, Following the row, And strengthen the bow, To keep up the fact, To disarm the pact, And keep the show, To what you already know, To remember that the price, Is in suffice, To show what you do, And...

Premium Member sloth tries on running shoes
The sloth tried on all the running shoes in the store. Brand new clerk on commission’s heart gave a soar. She did not realize that sloth does this every day. But never buys a shoe, for running is not his way. He does it because he loved the colors, said her boss. If my supervisor would let me, I would...

The Snakes in a field of Green

The Page That Listens, But Never Her
Everyone reads what I write, Except the one it’s meant for. She never do. She never will. And I ask myself, Do these words mean anything, Or are they just a lullaby For a heart that forgot how to sleep? Maybe I write to lie, To pretend silence was a choice, Not a sentence carved into me. I stitched my mouth shut With thread made of shame, The...

Something wrong
“There's something wrong with you”, They say as I watch the women's sports, “There’s something wrong with you”, They say as I am engrossed by the girls walking in front of me, “There’s something wrong with you”, They say after I kiss a girl, “There’s something wrong with you”, They say to when I don’t wear a dress to the...

The voicemail
Hey, It’s me, I've been thinking a lot lately, Do you ever wonder, Why do we want to know when, When we could just let go and forget, Did you ever care, Or do you even know what game you played, But you shut me out, Do I mean something to you, Or was I just a stone to step on to cross the river, So...

The Prismatic Self
I write my soul in ink on paper, My skin is stripped away, Blood replaced with ink that flows through my veins, Defences shattered and the visage of lies is broken, My mask is taken from my hand and replaced with a pen, I don’t have to hide my feelings, Feelings that are so destructive they must stay hidden, Hidden from those...

Premium Member If that oak tree falls
Of that oak tree falls, I may soon be dead. I stared in disbelief at my cousin Zed. Why do you have this weird feeling of dread? He shrugged his shoulders, eating mom’s shortbread. Sometimes Zed gets weird thoughts into his head. Why can’t he keep them to himself instead?...

Lillian
Some people leave in storms With their last words being harshest Some people don't have to say a thing You know you've already lost them In fact they intentionally say nothing They go out like a ghost I wish I could've stayed but it's not my fault You chose what you stood against You lost the war to evil You stood against smoke and...

The Stage
The Stage, The blueprint of consciousness, A Labyrinth left within this, Molecular living witness. Atoms are energy in this existence, Building a world in the present tense. Every moment a new experience, A chance to dance in the performance. Growing entities sensing change, Reality starts to Rearrange. As we make the energy exchange. The blueprint is looking strange, It's designed to seem deranged, It's...
