Numb

It's amazing
I kill off everything
Trying to ignore the good

Maybe
Animals
That seek to be
Within the forest

Maybe
Creatures
On land and sea

Maybe
Trees
That don’t care about
Their foliage

Everything

I kill off everything

That is good

I’ve lost my true empathy
I cannot flourish
I ignore the fact
That
I have been there

It's amazing
I kill off everything
Trying to ignore the good

Despair
Shame
Happiness

See? There's no poem here.

Any love I might have found
Disappeared in the air
Like a moth
Only I wasn't his light

Hurt?
Well, it runs deep
But who doesn't have hurt
Show me that soul, and I'll sell you a bridge

Loss?
Well, that's an interesting subject
I lost my keys
So yes, that's the most I'll discuss loss, thank you very much

I'm not despairng-ish
Or shaming-like
I swear I feel happiness all the time
I'm the spokeswoman for smiles
My smile is ultra-white

There are no problems in here
Everything is so perfect, it almost hurts
It is, what's the word?
Magical

Yes. I am living the magical life
Dancing in my blue dress
Made of chiffon and dreams
Swooning as I'm swept off my feet

I told you.

There's no poem here.

It's just my magical life
The one I was promised
I'm followed by stars
They are so bright

They illuminate my skin
While I sing to my birds
It's amazing really
How dreams come true

Why can't they see it?
Those pesky men in white?
Always flitting about with pill filled plastic cups
I have my own potions, thank you very much

See?

There's no poem here.

Absolution

The songs that were left for me

Drowned me

I couldn't believe

That I was there

And

I was seen by you

Today is different

I swallowed

Not with belief

But with unknown

False crowns

Absolution

They say

They cry

They have no desire

If you tell the truth

Or lie

Send me your sinners

I ask for your patriarchs

Your matriarchs

Those who 

Pay and allow to be monarchs

I cry

For my my absolution

Is gone 

My crying crowns

Has left me

To tell the truth 

To tell the lies

No matter

I've drown

My Own Skin

My head is burning through the clouds
It smells like tumble weeds and faintly crowds
I miss the day that I could have met you
You tried to know the truth but I just... wouldn't let you

I wish I could have saved your soul
I wish I could have saved the world
I knew what was happeinging then
But I just saved... by own skin

With a turn to my left shoulder
I saw a sun that shouldn't be there
I hung my head and prayed
To some unknown soldier
To please, let me live

I don't deserve to live
I don't have faith to die
I need that something
I have always tried to hide

In the Sand

Cross cutting dunes
And feet
And flops
And drops
Ice and cubes
A spilled water
Or two
Recorded in the sand

A dropped tear in the sand

Leaving a lonely hole
Quickly gone
The feet
And flops
Having walked over
Any spilled water
Or teardrops
No longer even in the sand

That funny thing about sand

It hides your tears and fears and worry
No one can see you sweat
No one can track you fury
It's hidden in the sand

Fly By Night

Fly By Night

You can dive with the

Fishes

The Dragonflies

You can swim with the

Mermaids

The Fireflies

You can dip with the

Wings

Of the Butterflies

You can swoon with the

Moon

The Alibis

Your days have left me

Alone

But not Scared

Alone

With the darkness

But Prepared

Your love is not something

That needs to be

I loved you

With a longing

Unfortunately

You can dive with the

Fishes

The Dragonflies

You can swim with the

Mermaids

The Fireflies

You can dip with the

Wings

Of the Butterflies

You can swoon with the

Moon

The Alibis

Welcome to the world

A job
A cracker jack in a box

Those who look for the funny
Those who sit for the money

Welcome to the world

You're a person looking

Shaking the box 
to see
A prize that's meant to be

Gum Gum
Gum begets gum

Bazooka Joe
A prize up for the money
Hard chews set up for the money 

No one can Bazooka that
No one can Cracker Jack that

You try to find the why but you see
There's no crack and jack now
