You are in my eyes that accuse
The anger that suffuses the air
Your blood bites and boils inside me
I want it out! Cut it out! Drain it out!
Flush it out into the rivers and seas
I wish I could burn the heart out of me
Ill content, it sits within me
But I push it down and it burns.
You fll me with a sick passion
To hurt and to hate as much-
As I love you I want to break you
With truths you may tell yourself
But still cannot bear to face.
There is a flicker out the corner of your eye
As you draw your fingers over the edge-
Trying to close in upon the sound of whispers and
Footsteps on the other side of the hedge...
There's a little wooden door in the leaves.
The brass knob just at your fingertips.
There are fragments of musings
Piled upon thoughts in my head
And plenty of dreams and
Decisions looked over instead
Usurping mental messages and
Tattle-telling thinkings curled
In dripping blue ink under my pen
Gusts play with my little heart, whispering words
Of love and loathe, and most of hurt
Of the cruelty of life; like emotions never shown.
Desperately, I search for your hands in mine
But they're no longer there anymore.
Hope held in a cage, loft gilded of chrome
You disappear before my words form,
Ending my last, remaining hope of home.
It's taboo words that tear at you,
By an ache in your ear,
With whispers that fade away but
Leave you wholly restless.
Its with a slow all-consuming
Fire you feel it on your lips and skin.
Taboo touch, the colors are a little too much
So something wicked starts to climb up
Right out of my heaving lungs
My ribs are picked at like ladder rungs
The little mistake of that alien shade
And I accidently throw the insult up.
The girl with the beautiful bangles
And brown corduroy jeans
She says she's too old but
She's only seventeen and
Goddamn her when she sings
"Heya sweetheart, do you lo-o-o-ve me?"
On Blame
Or A Guide To Getting Away Without It
It would only be the best if you were silently making everyone miserable. Peoples lives would be completely ruined with no reason for it and with no scapegoat but themselves therefore leaving you not only unscathed but able to look at the hell you hath wrought. But, you've made it clear your strategy is not silence but confrontation, and that leaves you wide open for blame and scrutiny.
You gotta be wise, kid.
On College
Or What Was Supposed To Be The World Of Higher Education:
The 'Walk of Shame'. Every experimental college co-ed has done it. Every tentative tight-wad has endeavored it. In college, the walk of shame is virtually a right of passage. It's a symbol of a students courage and audacity. It's the reason a lot of males go to college. The reason fathers spurn their Daughters going off to school; horrifying visions of their princesses getting shit-faced and waking up in a foreign dormer. Its a moment of ignominy and humility; while at the same time its a testament to one's pride and self-gratification.
On Discipline
Or What 90% Of the Human Race Lacks:
For two weeks now I've been saving ten dollars. I decided two weeks ago I wanted ice cream, and I refused to let myself have it until my history final came back as an A. So here I am, checking the computer every ten minutes looking for that grade because I really want some fucking ice cream.
On Love
Or That Weird Feeling That Almost Makes You Feel Like Vomiting:
It's like this song you always hear, you know? You think you hate it because you're not quite sure what you like, anyway. One day you find that you know all the stupid words, you can't get it out of your head... and you don't mind that at all.
On Opinions
Or The Lack of Originality En Masse:
The biggest irony we have the privilege of seeing is the human race itself. Everyone wants to be special, unique. So we look for love, the one who feels we are irreplaceable, perfect. But how do we go about it? The same as the person next to us. We act like our neighbor in hoping to be accepted but at the same time hoping someone will see us as who we think we are and see our differences. Confusing if you ask me. I'd rather just have a cup of coffee and be content.
On Relationships
Or When You Know Its Already Gone Downhill:
It is a dangerous road. We don't want our relationship to go down that way. It's like in Finding Nemo, when they had to swim between the cliffs because there were jellyfish on top. It is like that road, we don't know what is there. And we wouldn't have any nice turtles to show us the way. Or sharks. Or whales...
On Underclassmen: Or The One Pissant Freshman Who Needs a Good Clue-Bricking
That kid is going to grow up to be a douchebag. I'm going to punch him now as a preemptive punch because I don't wanna have to go to some club on the Jersey Shore to punch him when he turns 21.
On Wisdom
Or Why Mother Doesn't Know Best. Just Better:
As you age, you don't lose your edge it is just those who you used to rebel against are now senior citizens, and you can't be mad at old people. Who would give out the free cookies?

Prompt One: Surreal
"I Had a Dream...and you were there."
He stands there, resting against the doorjamb. Arms folded across his chest and a bemused expression on his face.
She knows he's there, but she doesn't look up. The tips of her fingers continue to flit over the keyboard, so fast the barely make a sound except for the occasional click of the sticky space bar.
"Who are you?" he gently chides.
Her hands stop, and she doesn't know how to respond. She sits and thinks, vying for an answer to this simple- simple question.
Tilting her head just a bit, her tongue prodding at the inside of her cheek she gives a small grin as she twists in

Prompt Two: Célèbre
"The child slowly fades, alone and afraid as threads of shadow rise."
Your eyes open, blinking away flakes of vestigal sleep while your lungs shudder and expand to take breath anew. Your mouth works in a panic to draw oxygen in to color your cracked blue lips. Your skin is traced with the dried blood and membrane of your reemergence, flesh slowly flushing with healthy color. The nevus at your clavicle darkens and your fingertips curl into the crumbling white sand in desperation.
A strangled moan wavers and- Ah! there it is. Revival...
You give an unsettling wail as you remember what has brought you here. To
There's a spine on my front lawn. by Endling, journal
There's a spine on my front lawn.
Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.
I'm not really positive what normal protocol is for finding skeletal remains on your property. I can't say I've ever sat down on a rainy day and been like.. "Hm.. kind of humid today. I should probably read up on what to do in event of bones showing up on my front lawn."
And you know, it wouldn't even be a HUGE issue if it was, say, a femur. Even an ulna! I'd just assume a cartoon dog moved in next door and, at most, I'd have to chide him for his slovenly habits. (After the inevitable half hour of wacky hijinx, of course.)
But no. It's a spine. Or at least, part of a spine. A particularly large hunk o
Got a college body
and a teen age attitude.
She's got an old world religion
and a new pair of shoes.
The doors are locked but she
never really feels alone,
she likes the noise
when nobody's home.
Nose pointed to the floor,
denying any of it true,
to make sure she's not smiling
when she's not supposed to.
She knows not what she does
but mostly what she didn't do.
Knowing better means screwing up
at least a time or two before you
ever really get it right. She knows
It's time to get it right. At least
this time around let's all remember
what it's like to really try.

Oh, wow. Just got my first apartment on my own- well, with a friend but you understand, right? First real step out into the very real world- so exicting!
Again- working on projects and getting sidetracked by new ideas, but that's not a new thing. And there's so much to do in such a short span of time. It goes by so fast when work and real-life's kicking your ass:

Alright, so I did it. I posted the poetry- I still dunno if I'm as satisfied with it as I could be, but when is anyone ever satisfied with something they've created? On another note, I know have the money for a premium account [all the pretty Journal Skins] but seeing as no one particularly watches me and I'm rarely even on my own page I dunno if I'd see the point.
Ah! This year, I'll be going to my first con and I can't wait...perhaps if I get up the guts I may post pictures but seeing as I'm not necessarily cosplaying- and I du
