Skeleton

Skeleton we have been friends for years

And you've seen me through some trials

And tribulations and some tears

But everybody thinks I'm weird 

and i should have known

that it wouldn't be long

Until you got me standing in an awkward posititon

with unwanted attention and a need for explanation

and it's not that I'm letting go of you

But I don't know what to do.

Skeleton we were so close

but you have got no body

so why do you insist on wearing clothes?

Skeleton when we were young, it was easy

even though the other kids, they would tease me

But i was only seven

but now i'm twenty two

And know it's different when I take out you.

And you, got me standing in an awkard position

With unwanted attenetion and a need for explanation

and it's not that I'm letting go of you

But I don't know what to do

Cause sometimes at night,

I dream of terrible things

I take a heemmer and I creep out of my bed

I raise it high, and smash it on your head.

But, skeleton you are my friend

and I could never bring your life to an end.

Yes, skeleton you are my friend

and I will be there for you until the very end.

Pull my strings

There once was a man named Gepetto,

who wished he grew up in the ghetto.

He could control anyone,

with a twitch of his thumb.

Make things come alive

with a jolt and a dive.

Could you handle to have powers like Gepetto?

Take only what you need from them

The doctor told me

 you think to much

                               think of other things.

I've always been one to follow instructions but this

its not so easy.

It replays over and over

like something broken 

                                                        inside

He's always there

in the morning

in the evening

every minute in the night.

I just want to                                     forget

the smiles

the laughter

all the covers you had

who knew someone could be like you,

and be okay with that.

Now I can see how much of a failure you are,

no friends,

no family,

what's left of you?

no one should think of you.

                            but I will, for a while..

                                               slowly, I won't it'll be less and less

you'll fade into a blank

like an old cassette loved too much.

Midnight's Summer Air

Different

air is sweet and calm

     so   inviting

  the sunny haze has worn off

         but not for long

feels like anything could happen here

stay the same here

or change here

dusty roads and dusty skies

filled with little stars 

lets just stay awhile and see what happens

in the Midnights summer air.

Free a Bird

I wake up and pray I get it right

pray no one can tell 

a difference in me.

I pray I can do every action the same

every thought

every word.                                         

Follow my normal foot prints,

but I know, someone will

Catch  me 

sooner or later.

I'm wearing a big sign

                 saying what I did  

exposing it        raw             for anyone who wants to look

It feels like somethings in my stomach

clawing to be free,

it's screaming out loud

in the deafening silence.

They say your suppose to tell your lies,

and free it like a bird.

This one time I'll lock it up

and let it speak not one word.
