put your fingers in her ear and tell her to stop listening,
just watch.
put her in front of the mirror and tell her to stop watching,
just listen.
she hears the anger pour from her mouth
and witnesses the lines she creates when she puts on that frown.
she listens for the silence but the quiet is out.
she looks at the reflection to a face full of doubts.
turn her around,
she starts at it again.
turn her upside down
and let the blood pour out of her head.
she screams and screeches until her voice goes mute
and she's kicking and punching until she tires herself out.
now she lies there,
sweet and innocent,
calm and collected.
you stay silent.
you stay courteous and respectful.
she'll do her worst,
but she'll drain it all out.
don't use force.
don't use words.
stand and listen.
watch and learn.
for you know her worse but love her best.

Living in a world full of people trying to make it, unrequited, believing in a dream you need to be asleep to see and believe. Can you believe it? No, I don't just have a couple repeated words for your zombified mind. Sit down, stick around and listen awhile. Everything you see isn't always which it seems. Problems of the world become the product of the world. This is where the profits made, money towering from the sadness you think you've saved. Simply donate a buck, whatever you can and never see it again. Still the stories of ******, suicide and the great divides carry on to keep you scared in your homes where you spend your days dreaming of what you could be, what would've been and what you should've done. Everything's alright. Everything's ok. Everyone's alone screaming for connection on the radio can't you hear their sad song but all you want to do is sing along. Still fading away, escaping what we're too scared to face, because we have our fancy cars, and our hip jeans, in our knee high leather boots, downing our premium aged poisons, and living our plastic prosthetic dreams. There is no poverty. There is no war. There are no deaths. We simply want more, more lies, more fight, more blood and more *** to keep us wanting more love, more hate, more loneliness down the road, we make until we can take no more and we're looking into the hole of a .45, pray Jesus lord and blast our brains in an old beat up FORD. This is not a negative broadcast, this is reality trying to reach you, trying to teach you to see that it begins with me, me who wants what he cannot obtain, me who loves but hates at the moment of change, me who wants to belong but does everything to stay far away, me who cannot forgive because the emotional pain is too much to feel again. It is truly a hard concept life. This material world. These material boys and girls. Draping on whatever extra layers they can to gain attention, to be a little more accepted yet it is who, themselves, they cannot love because who, we strangers, they cannot impress like their idols they so obsessively crave and praise

The girl, she smiles from ear to ear
Got nothing on her mind
Except the time on her feet
Every step another embrace
With life
With earth
And her heart

It's ok if you've forgotten about me, I got there first. Missed calls, texts full of apologies, never got to me. Didn't think you'd care, didn't think this would break me. God knows it did and it still does. Waiting around, waiting for something to happen. Wasting my lines and life stuck on rewind. Walked back to the past in hopes to find you. I didn't find what I wanted, now who are you? Making me feel what I've thrown away, how I love it. The way you hold so much power, over me, overly weak. Biting my nails, thinking about what to say, nothing comes out. Pure surprise, I didn't think so, not the way I bite bullets when I speak. I smile when you say, when you mouth the words, I love you. It's a beautiful lining, silver and cold, shoot me down. I was desperate, urging you to carry on with what I've got to lose. Everything and nothing, I surrender, let me plunder. Into the deep depths of your strange soul. I am forever enticed, forever lost in everything I haven't said before. Now here I am, confessing my thoughts, my magic to you I bow. There's nothing anymore I hold onto, there's little I say holds me down. The world is a speck and I'm floating beyond, in the space between you smile back. And a thousand tons hits me in the chest. So who are you and where are we? Isn't it strength that you stole?
