With new teeth
And no wandering eye
I will be rebirthed
And have worth
And maybe it still wouldn't be enough for you but it will be for me.
I hope you'll be proud.
I hope you'll be happy.

I begged to go
And for a moment
I thought the truck wouldn't show

Down the hill,
The truck did come
I told you
I'd be back from where I'm from

Paper from tree
Aluminum sealed the seams
Write what you see
And the things you dream

And write one for me

Or maybe seven

Life split in half
I almost want to laugh
Psychotically.
Life dominated by purple
I could never see through
Now filled with green and blue
And I'm always too late for you
I had to make sure it was green
"Be sure to write one for me"
Before I lost the nerve to be free
But my stomach felt weird
And I knew I sounded dumb
'Cause someone like you
Wouldn't find anything to write about me

Day
Day is plain
By night
My matter transforms
Becoming ascendant

Day
Day is so plain
By night
I become someone else
Take my real form

Day is
the suffocation
By moonlight my
constricted lungs
are briefly fixed

The writer scratches a note to their side,
She moves through day to the night like bright lightning on the somber sky.

Forgot how deep my love
for chaotic thoughts
But you've been with me for years
and I don't see you going anywhere
Forgot how much karma
***** on sweet fools like you
I swear I'm not evil aligned
It's just too opportune
and my sweet fool, to you
i whisper in your loving ear
i'm but an opportunist.
This is what I see in the mirror. It's difficult to remember now if there's any deeper truth to it.

Everyone I know is dead inside
So let's throw a party
Inside our miserable lives

How I love that twist
When I manipulate the situation
My others strike misdirected

Let's fill the empty
With motions from the oceans
Of our others' lives
Let's play chess for battles fought
In happy clouds of datura
Dusting our design

Medicate a generation,
So no one wakes up or asks any questions;
I'll take the pills because the truth doesn't make this worth living,
and I'll take the drugs because I'm tired of living a lie.

What's left to speak when dreaming dulls reality,
when reality dulls the dream?
Close enough to empty of any thought or word,
dip the *****, blunt needle in your rust,
Bind my mouth shut.

In your blood, I bet the years you've seen drag on,
evaporate your red count.
Those dry reminders, penetrate my flesh with them,
weave them as your thread.

I lost my own way long ago,
now need your denouement.
Don't be gentle.
