Tug-of-War Alpha Dog Carnivore Locked our horns Power struggle Crown of thorns Neither bows nor bends nor folds Instead digs their heels Leans in and holds Under weights of worlds shouldered Beneath catching fires smoldered They juxtapose Until the end And so it goes Protect; defend Both yearning to submit, surrender Though, coward, that would them then render So instead they hold strong their positions Each declaring their conditions Never has...

The fingers crawled over my lips, each step a crunch on my parched soul - lullaby for my desires But where’s the wind ? Where was it, before the drizzle? The crawl slithered into sleek curling my lips into his mouth like a prey, I panted in his loop struck by the venom of his kiss I strangled reaching for the antidote...

It's three o'clock in the morning, and I'm sitting here on the bathroom floor, reliving that day—reliving your death. If only crying could ease the pain... Maybe I would be able to live my life again. Instead, I close my eyes and hear my voice blubbering to 911. Dad is at work, so I know...

The after What happens after? When what was loud is now silent Where a place once filled with cameras go unnoticed What once made history is now forgotten Later On TV they'll be a recap The story will go They'll manipulate the situation Bonus if its told by a republican They'll say The police were peaceful, we'll be labelled as criminals I guess it's...

I got to thinkin' about Billy the Kid and the peculiar line of work he did. If I were Billy's older brother or pa, I would say, "instead of bein' a bad outlaw", why not get yerself an education, a 401K and three weeks' vacation....

Daylight. Thank God. The monster comes at night.? For now, I shake the strings loose,? And try with my whole might. Reflections of the night before—? My eyes are swollen shut,? Bruises, scars, maybe broken bones.? Don’t show you’ve had enough. The mirror reflects the bruises;? I stare a bit too long. ?The monster's wrath shows on my face. ?Stay strong, girl. Stay strong. I will...

When trust is broken Feelings start fading In love you become lazy or crazy Can't confide in each other A place of peace, calm or serenity Now a battlefield, steadily pouring out aggression on each other. Two hearts that caress and defend each other Start bruising or humiliating each other As they wrestle The children watch, then start screaming Don't...

A box of crayons new and ready waits to block the yelling sounds outside the door. The dreams a hundred color box creates erase those sounds while I draw on the floor. The shouting disappears, replaced by peace when I draw a new dress for my poor doll. Carefully, I choose a hue of cerise. She'll feel so much...

I’ve lived and I’ve loved or so I thought, came out broken, beaten and battered. A false embrace a kiss of lies, All loves games I bought. Tried to be just who I am, Not one would care to ease. Friends, family or chosen mate, Would bring me to my knees Shut my mouth to obstruct the blow, The Anger, fury and wrath, The Inevitable...

Is this really worth it To be a woman in a country like this Where we are forced to shut our scream How will any girl see any dream Multiple cases of assault and rape But still many say it's all fake Is there any more way to gain your trust Many lost their lives..is it really worth The scars which u...

I can feel it crawling underneath, underneath my skin today. Why should I even care now? its murder in the first degree. You, you're not the person i thought you claimed to be. why should i even care now? Its murder in the first degree. Now i can hear it calling for me. From the land of makebelive. why do...

I wonder if it strikes them odd, your ordinary tetrapod, carnivorous or grass-fed, to see such an enormous head, on a creature with, but two feet, who kills when he don't have to eat....

I wonder, Little Eddie, hypnotized, can it be true you felt no pain at all? Ten years of age, a figure formed too small, and that poor Roadster, a gift you so prized… How could your brother have so despised your car? to pop its tires,—and on the wall— smash it, scratch it, do everything to maul that toy.—Is it true, you...

How could he honestly tell anyone Who would actually believe him A strong confident young man Smiling on the outside ….petrified within Excuses made for the obvious ones With casual jest and smiles Yet , it was so far from the truth By a million miles He absolutely adored her In the beginning…it was so good There had been a few incidents She apologised….of course...

You should celebrate victory You guys wear your best clothes We will be wearing black In condemnation with protest You will drinking champagne We will drink blood compact In solidarity with prayers You should perform good speeches We will read the funeral mourn You guys should hug and laugh We will cry alone in unison You return to your lavish homes We will see the broken houses Rich...
