It's so cold in my house
I'm all huddled up, blowing on fingers
but still i feel it seeping
seeping beneath my skin, scaring the bone
i'm so lucky in my sheltered blanket
there's no real war here
just the petty arguments
over nothing, nothing at all
I wish I could help someone
someone whose dodging landmines
whose had to leave it all and start over
but i'm stuck here in this state, this house
doing nothing but writing in my journal all day
maybe someday, when I'm not so afraid
i'll be able to write some quality piece
that will be so poignant it'll shatter you to pieces
i swear to god this book could sink the sun
but it was you i was thinking of
it's been really lonely this weekend
not a single friend phone call
its like i only exist in fractions
when we're apart no one ever thinks of me
but with the rest, i'm the brightest color in the room
maybe it's better like this
it helps me focus
I can pretend I'm perfect here
there's no one close enough to stop me
I watch tv because it's mindless
i spend hours decoding songs because the words aren't mine
every thing i do has rhyme and reason
everysinglelittlething
i keep lists in my head of rules, schedules
allowances, indulgences
tiny tallies to keep my brain on track
so i don't completely get pulled under by the shadows
i lost a poetry contest
must have been that i'm too dark
don't want to scare the kiddies, now do we?
keep them innocent as long as possible
smile through our lies as we swear this world is good
i think i'm out of thinks
maybe tomorrow then
maybe tomorrow i'lll figure this shit out
i wish i screamed outloud
