A day without the Good Book
A day pettering out to inconsequence

Don't take fright
It's just nervous knees
Out in the night

Don't call today a lie
Simply waiting in the wings
Before I learn to fly
I'll have to pause for better things

Growing into It

She's in a adult's body
Peering out from grown up eyes
She doesn't fill all the spaces yet
She's growing into it

He was content

Simon says:
im startin to feel the only one
Simon says:
who gets sad
Simon says:
when people turn love into like
Simon says:
cause the day will come
Simon says:
when 'like' just doesnt cut it
Simon says:
and 'care for' falls far short
Simon says:
and that's when love
Simon says:
dances onto your lips
Simon says:
and its not trying to make itself sommink special
Simon says:
because
Simon says:
its just filling the hole
Simon says:
that is made by the specialness
Simon says:
that is there already

In all things
I submit to Him
Who is all and in all
May He grant me wisdom
Strength to head His call
In all things
May I give Him glory
Amen.

"You wear your life on your lips"

When I'm down
Go in for the kill

Cryspace

Silences and ringing bells
Where one plus one is one
Sadnesses and sleeping pills
You end up just where you belong
It's all right
It's all right
Caring is supposed to hurt

Absences and smokescreens
Easier than speaking your mind
Don't say what you don't mean
You've got to be cruel to be kind
It's all right
It's all right
Love is doing your worst


Two hands
One night
It's all right

Questions

It's an innocent thing
A few words hauled aloft
By a question mark
Hanging there, quite unaware
Of the mounting cost
That anchors the answer in silence

Nothing more than a question
Nothing less than his soul
He would shed the words like a tear
Or rip himself in two
To sustain the illusion of silence

Year's End

When all is said and done
When rubbishbins teem
With used speech notes
I'm glad I got to know you guys
It is a priviledge.

MWhahahah

Empty halls, quiet classrooms
One teacher alone
With a stereo
Sending sound dancing through the hallways
PLAY MUSIC LOUD!!


P.S. - doof doof.

I believe in the certainty
Of second hand sunrises

It seems God has His own way
Of teaching me patience

To Describe A Feeling

It's like being at the beach jumping waves when a massive wave you didn't see sweeps you off your feet and hurls you under the water. You mouth is full of sand and salt, you don't know which way is up, and you are struggling for air.

It's like you are a piece of a puzzle yet to be completed. You wait there alone and unattached, occassionally you lose a part of yourself as the puzzle Solver shapes you into the piece that will fit where you need to be.

It's like walking around with part of yourself missing, there is a hole in you that is only full of aching. And every fibre of your being longs for the missing part.

It's like being punched in the stomach while being hurled to the ground and stomped on.

It's like waking from a nightmare into another nightmare, till you aren't even certain you are awake when you finally do wake up sweating and terrified.

It's like being in a windowless cell so long you forget the feel of sun on your face, the taste of light in your eyes. So long that you wonder if anything is real beyond the cold stone of your prison.


Or something.

Emo out.

You found the words your youth snapped up
But it's not until you place down your cards
That the bluff becomes reality.

Bravery
Is acknowledging your fears
Then asking them to take a seat.

Standing here
In your dust
An odd kind of shower

Every day you wake up
Just as much a fool
Only some days it doesn't sink in

Stay awake to break the habit

It's all fun and games
Until someone loses a dream

The difference is...
