Life from exceptional will
Forever flowing freely
True compassion is fear for
The unknown
Yet,
The mere apparition
Of an innermost being
Complicates'
It's very exist Nance
Yet, in conflict
With death, ye shall
Never die
Fore death is only the begining
So what is a prisoner
If so, a prisoner of mind
Less he be sentenced
Set by another
The prisoner...

Loosing the will to live, 
It’s all vicarious anyway,
There must be more to life,
Than the pretence of everyday.

Turns out you got a raw deal,
That was not there yesterday,
Bad luck meant it wasn’t to be,
Nascent beauty was taken away,

Your resulting life is one big lie,
The truth...

Running on autopilot
Works well for someone like me
I've got some experts onboard
Who can deal with anything 
And regularly excel in a randomised fashion

Then I show up with my supervisory skills over my innate team 
Again top notch - running like clockwork
I've some bright ideas

Can you see
Odd epiphany;
What's to be
Self-conscious story.


Just like me

Beyond sanity.

History
In lost odyssey.

She can barely look up 

They are twelve and thirteen
Most not noticing her at all 
Too concerned about their own flaws

One thinks they are staring at his zit
Another is sure they are staring at her frizzy perm
Most...

bitterly cold
            anxious

Feeling like you're not enough,
Your looks or body, it's really tough.
Self conscious and to self aware,
Seeing others beauty, it's almost unfair. 
And when your told you're not as you see,
You shrug it off, and just disagree. 
You feel like your to short or too tall,
Your...

there once was a woman named Mimi
she never would wear a bikini
	when she was asked why
	she didn’t blink an eye
said, “I’ve eaten too much linguine!”...

An Inupiat "slow-grower"
Believed he could sink no lower
When an icicle rose
On the tip of his nose
He won "Number 1 Snow Blower"

A cold polar bear did stutter
And folk thought he was a nutter
But God loved him a bunch
And dropped off his...

Look into my eyes
See the humanity inside
See where beauty resides
See them blue, green or brown
See them smile or frown

Look into my eyes
In my eyes the lies can’t hide
The tears glitter before they slide
My eyes narrowed to recognize
My eyes widen when terrified

Look into my eyes
Even though...

As she'd left
He'd taken her name for all the reasons and  blames
In every corners of the city, to all the men
As much as
He'd no courage left
To walk on the memory lane
And look into her eyes....
