Fast Dreamin'

Inspiration: I'm about to hit the dec
Word: Whimsically.

I saw a dream today,
it captivated me
it twirled my thoughts and aligned them with motions
till I was whimsically dancing on broken cans and empty baskets
but I didn't care none
No
I
spun
round and round
and felt my legs crash against the grown
and I threw
my hands up
clapped
I clapped loud
and louder
and laughed
and shouted
because this was no ordinary dream
it was my dream to be free
to let my caged soul wisp away in the breeze
and it left effortlessly
this was me
I saw freedom
and it captivated me.

Lies to Live

Inspiration: The TV Show still standing
Word: lie/truth

Standing straight
with her feet on the ground
she crookedly faked a smile
and lied a laugh

Standing upright
with her toes planted firmly
she pretended to live
and falsely offered confidence

Standing
with her insides numb
she opened her mouth
poured the truth in
washed down a catalyst
and had no more lies to live

Misread color

Inspiration: I saw a bug die
Word: Decomposition

The color of her heart bled dark marks of sadness
and she colored over them with brown open lines
and the decomposition of cells
as she pretended to dream that the world would halt
and she slew the masters of her hate when
she shattered her own image and saw herself dead
with regret

ehhhdon't like it

What Gives Life

Inspiration: Living, and air
Word: Synchronized

If the crispness of the air
was enough to keep one synchronized with life
then everything under the sun would have meaning
but mere air can not give a heart a reason to live
only compassion and love can enable one's soul
to bloom into the lost excitement of existence

Live (but die trying)

Inspiration: A movie
Word: begging

She lived, but died trying
and her true life came to her when the death was done
She was gone and she had gone to every which way
to get you to sing her name
to love her name
to look behind her name
and see her
the scared
(frightened really)
little one
begging for love
and she lived, but died trying

Finale Notice

Inspiration: Going Away
Word: Go

If I whispered goodbye to you
and hesitate an I love you
and tantalize you with a smile
and drifted off into nothing
would you let me go peacefully
would you let my essence fume your nose
and allow my coming to go

Life after Death

Inspiration: Weird dream
Word: Life

I twisted my body and slid it through a key whole
and grinned as I saw the sparks of my new home
firecrackers screaming and the sounds of hate
overwhelmed my eardrums and sung me to sleep
I smirked in the darkness and laughed at the horns
that made some tremble but made me sing in terrifying happiness.
This was the life I had longed for
This is the life I was afraid of
This is the life I died for
and in this life
I will live
