Dare to be Yourself.
The words, they bubble inside my head -
and leak out through my fingertips-
onto keyboards or paper through ink or lead, they must be freed, before the creation is dead.

I look down to my hands
and feet
fingers and my toes
I often wondered
how are those
so physically able?
when my heart trembles
mumbles, and stumbles
with its broken beats
it’s not capable to handle
another careless keeper
to not drop it, scrape it
crush the remains
then hand it back to me
I’m steel gaurded with a key
don’t ask me to let you in
just for me to believe
then have you hand me
another broken piece of my
still constructing heart
that no longer beats
compassionately for a true love
with all it’s mishappen
sewed up, and bandaged,
cracked, crumbling, bruised
beauty
I am vulnerable
but not weak
I am strong
no longer naive
Don’t let me Believe
Let me see
proof is through actions that
speak
words are nothing but
pretty wrappings
charming but hiding
something within their
nice packaging
I’ve learned from my past
the mistakes have imprinted
at long last
not to trust a pretty smile
and perfect teeth
because the ugliness
is buried deep
it’s in a dark soul
A pretender masked
with an angel’s face
it’s a glimpse of a shadow
at the corner of my eye
is it really there
or is my brain telling a lie
I’m trying to function
to go on in this mess
this bizarre, fucked up wreck
is it a tragedy, or is it just life
leading me, bringing me
to my knees
teaching me humility
hitting the grimy, scumy floor
that I just want to tuck in my head
to my chest
close my eyes and just cry
that it’s all a bad nightmarish dream
or am I really digging the mud from my nails
is that blood, oh please let me see
the light, the dark is too frightening
who gets used to this terrible gleam
of dim lighting
somebody, hear my plea
please help me…
a tit for tat
i tilt my hat
to you my dear beautiful girl
you are so lonely
i find you phoney
because the world loves your world
it’s drama inflicted
are you so conflicted
with your name on everyone’s lips?
i see the confidence in your eyes
and the truth that your lies hide
you are so eloquently clear
you deem to queerness
but really dearness
you are nothing but a fraud
you live tit for tat
so i tilt my hat
and bow and give applause
for pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes
