too far ahead or left behind
it seems I can never keep the color
inside the lines
instead my colors bleed
right off the page
either staining the future - yet to be
or tainting the past - already made

too fragile to dabble with
mindless chatter
I want every word to matter

masterminds behind the lies
have hid the horrors in disguise

this deceptive act of lying
can now be found without trying

disbelief
the temporary relief
to all corruption has to hide

I won't be fooled another time
I won't forget the choice is mine

each entree served on your platter
is nothing short of a disaster
ignorance offers no bliss
let honesty serve as your guide

the minute it hit me
felt like the devil was kissing me
trying to drown me lovingly
caressing my face
as he sent me to a darker place

you can say you've grown
but take notice of all the truths I've told
then look back at your own soul
all you sell is societies mold
no
i can't say i know you anymore
you let them rule you
then consume you
sure
show me that degree
define yourself with it
just wait and see
how much it means
when the only things
you know how to talk about are
a grade and a career
spend your whole life sacrificing time
just so you can stand in line

is the trigger
a pill is the switch
you are the engineer
encapsulating power to control
which way it is flicked
rewiring nature
so chemicals
are now rendered necessary
to feel
and in their absence
you are only a spoke
without the wheel

what love meant
but now I see
that it isn't solely a word
in between two nouns
that it isn't solely a verb
enlaced with moaning sounds
love just is
it's you
it's me
it's us
