Some go off at the deep end
and
some mind their own business
preferring
laissez-faire to being in the mix
where
who knows what might go on,

I like and sometimes I don't
which is
the Schroedinger effect of
he either will or he won't.

isn't that what Jesus is for?
it's got *** all to do with
the delivery men nor
that **** down in number ten,
it's the
media trying to steer the car
the one that already crashed.

No products in the shops
a shortage of cops
no one to pick fruit
and do they give a hoot?
no!, but
it'll be alright on the night
Santa on the crack pipe
which is more of that
media hype,

can't wait until Easter.

There is always one thing
which can be something
or nothing,
and that's worth noting.

Obstacles!
as if the race wasn't tough enough.

I think we're all going under,
it can't be just me,
and if we're not going under
where are we going?

I’m no longer alone now,
In my dreams.
Now there’s a dark shadow
And it’s watching me.

All.
The.
Time.

I don’t have a moment’s peace,
As it follows me,
Judges me,
Mocks me.

It’s faceless
And monstrous.
A void of broken trust
And hypocrisy.

There is no safety,
No sanctity,
And as things stand
No way out.

I wake haunted
And scan the darkness of my room
Am I really safe,
Alone,
No.
I feel eyes on me.

The shadow is there
I can’t escape the voice in my head
“They are always watching you"
And I’ll never be free.

It’s a dangerous thing
Giving power to the faceless
But I have none left to give
Because it was taken
Secretly,  silently,
And I can’t get that back.

I am betrayed.
Afraid
And lost.

If you are so intent to follow,
And watch me,
Then I’ll lead you to the darkness
And you can see it consume me.

Because of you.

she knew then
the ways of this world

she knew then
of clenched fists

she knew then
her future
her place
her face, and all the weight that it carried

she knew then
of all the doors shut

she knew
she knew
she knew

of incomparable power

of beautiful strength

of divinity and all that is sacred

of wisdom and benevolence

she knew
she knows
we know


so she straightened her crown and rose
