Poems

Lines
Stay in between the lines; where your independance and pride reside
Try not to venture out to the fringes where people end up places you never wanted them to be.
You won't be happy anymore
Cherish the prime time
Flip past the ten o'clock news
Prepare yourself for late night laughs; and get ready for visions of men screaming lies into your flaky eyes
Flip some more and flip again until you fall asleep
Go outside the lines the law requires you to stay in
Cause the law was set up to kill you and you don't want that
Mock the pitiful souls standing uniformily close together inside their walls of death
And stand alone boy stande alone
And by alone I mean all by yourself
The show won't start without you cause you're already there
With your right foot inside the line and your left foot outside
Face the north in 2 dimensions
Pay no attention to the 3rd dimension or the 4th
Nevermind the 5th
When somebody asks you why you walk like a penguin just tell them that you're trying to stay balanced
And when they snicker, snicker back cause you know they're bound to fall
And fall hard they will, and stop they won't
A Regressive Code of Morality(The Rise of Absurdity)
Carbon copy destinies
twisted
Tied knots on top of
withered epiphanies
Cramped neatly folded inside
To get a cozy moment just in time for
The unapathetic Dramatic exeunt tonight
They don't know what they want they just want to know who's not as happy as they are
They don't wanna be who they are they just wonder who they're supposed to be
But if they could be me they'd be no different
A Corrosive exotic mess layers the floor
Wreaks nasty now confess you don't want anymore
But cheerful you give your stony brow away
To suitors wroth with nothing nice to say
They don't know what they want they just want to know who's not as happy as they are
They don't wanna be who they are they just wonder who they're supposed to be
But if they could be me they'd be no different
Talked to a mistress so fair
Talked to a martyr who cared
Talked to a manic so proud
Talked to a maiden so loud
Talked to a Christian with doubts
Talked to Christ-Child on clouds
Talked to a foreigner Friday
Talked to a freed slave
(repeat)
