On such a gloomy day as this
I could only wish to miss
Another class
At long last
To be done
And moving into summer fun
And though I know
This state needs rain
I wish it would miss
My windowpane
And sun would shine above my head
All along throughout the day instead
Of water dropping from the sky
Making the day go slowly by...

My tongue licks the pins of your actions
On spoonfed nights
And hazy mornings that lead to
Streets unknown and
Leaves the trees cold and wilting within their own bark
Just like I
Wilt
Within my own.
I don't have to try to show you.
You should already know.

Water pours down
The inevitable tear
I wish to be gone
But yet I am still here.
Sparkle of the sea sends
Closure to my eyes
A feeling worth believing if left to the wise.
So, I grab my balloon of dreams
and float up to the clouds
Looking down upon the Earth I can say
that I am proud
Of all that I have and all that I am
But leaving is just believing that
Escape is an end.

I am weary of dreams
That supposedly lead to
Truth
and prospersous lives.
I cannot make them real.
I cannot fathom the abyss where my soul lies,
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
To find it
And put it on
Like a Hollister t-shirt,
And to wear daily until
Fading and shrinking occur.
I am weary of dreams
That supposedly lead to
Benign futures.
So, just let me buy another t-shirt instead.
(its easier this way).

I sit in a startling silence-
Startling due to it's purity-
Startling due to its lack of existance in my life.
I stare outwards at a tree
That I have never laid eyes upon until this instant.
The air tickles its branches,
Like the air does to so many trees,
But this scene seems quite new
in the startling silence of the afternoon.
I recall days in which I have
Bent rules
Broke rules
Laughed out loud
Cried out loud
Spoke with honesty
Hid with honesty
And every action
That I chose
Led up to this exact moment
of
Startling Silence
That I find myself
Encompassed within.

Thank you
For putting me down today
I really appreciate
All that you have to say
My confidence is nestled
Within your palm
And I go about life
As though I've done so much wrong
I find it hard to release the past
Unfortunatly, time can make things last
So I feel empty in the world where I exist
No talent becomes me, I'm last on the list
So basically I just float around
And echo words not of my own sound
Be kind to the one with no talents beholded
I awake dry and feel scolded
A cold, cold day with no warmth beside her
Be kind to the girl who has no fire.

Wild
Passionate
Youth
Sprung me with
Decency
In the eyes
Of the world-
Yet, I walk along,
Blind to my own
Reflection
And how I truly
Am seen.

Continue to float a million miles
Above this world.
Continue to support existance.
Feverishly try to warm the cold hearts.
Elegantly seep down along the horizon
Making the sky your colorful canvas.
Passionatly spread freckles upon our skin.
Oh, Blessed Rays of Sun-
Caress my inner being with your powers...
And tan my tummy while you're at it.
