In the perfect world
It's like a TV show.
You always have friends
Wherever you go.
Your mother is kind
In a perfect world
Your sister is sweet
And you're Daddy's little girl.
That boy you like
Will like you, too
Someday you both
Will say "I do".
Your brother never goes to jail.
Or does drugs
Or asks you
To pay his bail.
You're never lonely,
You never cry,
And nobody ever
Tells you a lie.
You never fall out of a tree
Or hate half of your family
Or worry you're going crazy.
You are safe
And you are warm
And noone wants
To do you harm.
You never want
To scream and shout.
Or try to block
The real world out.
The kids
Oh, take me away to some-where
Where there is no more pain.
Where I can feel the sun-shine
and I can feel the rain.
I've left my window o-pen
and you can come right in
and carry me away-ay
To Ne-ver-land.
Oh, take me away to some-where
Where we'll always be friends,
Where every day's an adventure
and childhood never ends.
Even though I'm big now
I still believe in you
So when you fly away-ay
Won't you please take me,too?
Oh, take to someplace sim-ple
Where things are what they seem
Oh, take me to someplace ma-gic
To a land of lovely dreams.
I'll come away with you
If you swear you'll hold my hand.
Oh, won't you carry me
Cunning was too smart, so we broke his heart of ICE
Beauty was a beauty, but didn't treat us very NICE
Bravery and Glory both fell down to fear of DEATH
And when all was said and done,only one was LEFT
But Innocence was lost, and did not know how to FEEL
For when she called to Love for help, she founf he wasn't REAL.
For what we did to Forgiveness, he never did FORGIVE
What happened to dear Life?Well he lost his will to LIVE
And Anger and Revenge gloried that we'd won the FIGHT
While Scorn looked down upon them, said they hadn't done it RIGHT
And Hatred and Depression stood aside, along with VANITY
And they watched the thin line sn
Words
Surround me,
Cloud my mind,
Until I see nothing,
Until I see everything.
My mind,
A two-dimensional pattern
Of lines and dots and pathways.
Abruptly,I jerk back
Into the me other people see,
And for a moment,
I sit there senseless.
I see the colors and shapes,
I know what they are,
But I cannot give them meaning.
Words,again,
This time,outside of myself.
I hear them.
But they do not penetrate.
My body.
Has it always been so heavy?
So large?
So sensitive?
So completely and utterly there?
I am confused,
Afraid.
Nobody has noticed,though.
Carefully,
So nobody sees,
I let myself
Sink
Back
Down
Down into myse
Do you ever wonder
why you had to be you?
Why they get to be them
but you're stuck with yourself?
Why they are perfect
Beautiful
Happy
While you're left behind
to be ugly
and alone?
Why they have people who love them,
Friends,
and big sisters,
and boyfriends,
While you're left in the dark?
Why they never seem to be bothered
By the voice who comes
In the middle of the night,
Who tells you just how
Worthless
you are,that you are awful,
And that if you ever think you are anything more than nothing,
You are conceited,
and that makes you even worse?
Why they can feel good about things,
While you sit there numb?
Why for yo
Well hello,little girl.We meet again.
Oh God,please,no...
What's wrong?Didn't you miss me?
I know I missed you.
You've slipped since I've been gone.
Don't you remember?
You are a freak.
Bad.
Evil.
Unfit to walk this Earth.
Shut up...
Now,now,there you go being rude again.
Nobody will like you if you're rude.
Then again,who would like you in the first place?
You're conceited.
You think you're pretty enough for a boy to ever like you?
Here's the truth:You're not.
You're too fat.Who would ever love you?
God,please,make her shut up.
God's not here,little girl.
You aren't good enough to save.
Please,leave...I was doing so good
In a faraway land full of beauty and dreams,
one meets another and they become so close.
A season's now passed:
flowers now bloom in fields that stretch
like misty colours in the sky.
Over these months, like the snow, now gone,
they shared all their secrets
and together they lifted unbearable pains.
Blossoms of love unfurled between them,
and the world thought them inseperable.
But just as the world is beginning
to warm in the lush summer sun,
storms break and lightning crashes,
and the lovers get lost in the floods.
One searches for the other with no fatigue,
while the other gives up hope
for the always they once dreamt of.
I once knew a girl, who could have taken over the world.
Her eyes shined bright as day, her smile comforted all.
She was an immaculate beauty that all the world could see.
She didn't choose sides, she let the sides choose her
while secretly tampering with your heart
by tattooing her name on a tiny piece
just so you could be infected by her love too.
Most people break hearts, but she kept them mended
while letting others slightly break hers
as she gave them everything she ever had
just for them to keep their sanity.
This girl, oh this girl, I remember her so well.
She was one no one could let go of.
We all have enemies, and she
