Oh, WOE is ME!!! (the sestina)
Sometimes life
is just a big
unremovable stain
on the pants.
(Which you can't scrub off
no matter how hard you try.")
Which is also why I don't bother to try
'Cause I'm wasting my life
anyways. I could get off
at the next city…but it's too big!
Someone might notice my dirty pants!
(Lucky I have a sweater to hide the stain.)
My name is _____. And I slipped and now I have a stain.
I could try…
and oops! I ripped my pants.
And this is when life
Just gets way too big!
And from the world…I go flying off!
Most would be upset…the clock is off!
But, well…with this stain…
I might as well put a big

you are my rainy day cash,
i love the way you snuggle
on my lap; my little gray
cat. the flowers on my porch
are yellow; outside it is raining.
what a perfect day to cry,
to weep, to laugh and to cry
some more. my purse is void of cash…
my heart feels like it is raining
depression…let me snuggle
upon the pillows, gazing at the empty porch.
if i were not so gray,
if the clouds were not so gray,
maybe then i wouldn't cry
in remembrance of the once white porch
where we listened to Johnny Cash
…remembered how we snuggled?
at the time, the world raining
down on us and our parents raining
insults didn't make the world look so gra

Eyes Not Born With: A Parody
The Eyes Not Born With:
A Parody
Two eye colors lay within His wood,
Sorry that He could not give me both
And being God, not long He stood
Looking at one color as long as He could
To where it shone among the undergrowth;
Then decided on the other, just as fair,
Unfortunately it was not the better claim,
Because it was colored dirt already in wear;
Though God was convinced brown eyes there
Were worn with blue eyes about the same,
And both to Him equally and lovely lay
And no one could tarnish their name black.
Oh, blue eyes were not for me this day!
Yet knowing the human way,
No doubt that with complaints I should come back.
I
Under false emOtions
I feel nOthing inside.
LOnely, lOst in time.
WhO am I?
Traumatized by life itself,
I'm dying On the flOOr.
EveryOne arOund me,
NObOdy seems to care.
The clOck slips On sO sOundly.
In lies I hide in despair.
Lonely is the bewildered mind
Of this little girl.
Her soul shattered like glass.
Faithless in the
people around her.
Taken for granted
By friends, family, boys,
Played with like a shiny new toy.
Beaten down by
Life itself.
Torn apart
And put up on the shelf.
Left alone for people to see,
Telling her what she'll never be.
This little girl.
Broken.
Tattered.
Empty.
Alone.
Killed by the world around her.

Here's To Them ...
What i saw wasn't buildings,
It was tears and pain,
And what i heard wasn't screaming,
What i heard, i can't explain.
It's like a country lifted to it's feet,
All screaming out as one,
We won't be defeated and we won't back down,
We'll beat you back, you scum.
They're screaming, fighting, kicking now,
And it's not to no avail,
Tomorrow morning is near for them,
And it'll come with firey hail.
They've hurt the soul of a country's pride,
But they'll never break it's back,
What they don't understand of this,
Is that all they've earnt is payback.
Every person in those towers was unprepared,
As they began their life that day,

Burn me up inside
Burn away the pain
Burn away the hope
Burn away the shame
Burn away the nights
That I thought of you
Burn away the sadness
That now clouds my view
Burn me to the core
Burn it all away
I dont care, I just dont want
To burn for you today.
You suck I hate You why dont you just leave me Alone Everyone I need some Space and...
I just want to be Alone.
just go Away and leave me be can't You just see that I'm Pissed off and that...
I just want to be Alone.
Today is just one of those days I'm in a Bad mood its's been a Bad day on top of a Bad week and...
I just want to be Alone.
can't You hear what I'm saying get out of My way I don't want to see You just leave because
I just want to be Alone.
yeah, that's what I thought. get out of here. keep on walking. im tired... of this... man... this... sucks.
I wish I wasn't so Alone.
He was knight
Noble and true
Though not quite sure
What he should do
She was a damsel
Lovely and fair
A beautiful gem
Exotic and rare
Together they wove
An intracate dance
Bowing and twirling
In utter romance
Neither was selfish
Neither was cold
Neither was bitter
Or so I've been told
They talked for hours
In heavenly bliss
Dreaming of
The day they would kiss
And seperation
Was so much pain
As one or the other
Would complain
"I miss you so
My dearest love
I want to hold
My lovely dove"
The other would say
As if on cue
Without a beat
"I miss you too"

Sharp glistening teeth like dew,
A tasty flesh neck they would cut right through,
Bloodshot red eyes like anieseed balls,

Jet black avenging hair like the night,
Slick as always he sets out to fright,
Not the stereotypical fright but more of a shock,
As Good old Count Drac parades in a frock,
His name up in lights in London and Milan,
His face on a worldwide advertisment plan,
He does not leave without his artificial pale skin,
Once the make-up's applyed his walk on cat's can begin,
Traveling the world, treated as an equal,
Tipped to take part in the next Hollywood sequel,

Faeries Of Roseblossom Hill
They dance, and flutter
amoungst all things.
These beautiful creatures
with sparkly wings.
Clotheless they roam
on top of the hill.
To dance and sing,
enchant and squeal.
Twisting and flailing about,
Be very quiet,
and please do not shout.
If they see you
they shall run,
with a scream so piercing and shrill.
These are the faeries
of roseblossm hill.

Lost In This Existence
Falling deeper in my mind,
cannot cease the existence.
Of the life you left behind.
Blinded by the pain,
recurring tears fill my eyes.
I'm helpless, worthless,
wandering lonely without you.
Spiraling in this eternal abyss,
overwhelming thoughts of you.
Spare me of this pain,
I cannot bare it any longer.
Your face fills my skull,
memories flashing in my head.
I'm suffering, dying,
lost in this place of madness.
Give back my sanity,
take this pain away.
I long to return to the days
of no regret, and you are there.
Telling me everything is all right,
now we are together.
