I never knew it was wrong
To walk tiptoe, wherever I go
I thought it was strength
In being unique
But my tendon has been shortened
If it stretches it could break
And with taunts and training my tolerance has lengthened
My weakness is a secret
I could take it all you know
Your mockery, the ignorance
The fright, the contagion
And you sir, may tear me up inside
But I shall inhale
No tears of mine shall fall
For I was designed to take it all
So I like to think myself a warrior
I'll vanquish you with silence
Eviscerate the next one
And him after that
Wielding my abuscadoe
My passive passadoes
Mere soldiers can not harm me
As
Last night, I had a dream
Where the roads and streets
Sung me a song-
With lyrics proclaiming of my return
To home
Officials trotted behind me
My safeguards pleased
To do as I pleased
And to protect
As I pleased them to protect
Their pitch black suits
Their tinted glasses
Simple muscular shells
Giving me a sense of security
As I journeyed on
I always know
Where it is that I am headed
I follow the sidewalks
Which overnight sprang up
As miraculous passageways of safety
Beside the dangerous highways
A woman's voice sings out in a twang
In a country genre
"I'm coming home,
Returning to my hearth
where I was raised."
And
Brie hung back in the shop, awkwardly shuffling her feet. She just had nowhere else to be at the time, so she remained exposed in the silence. The bus wouldn't come for another thirty-minutes, and it would be late. So the girl tried something, to look at nothing. She focused on the space of air in the middle of two floor tiles, immediately being swept into the current of her self-reflections. This time it was her job.
There are usually two types of common job complaints, money problems and the don't-enjoy-your-work issue. This was the latter. Brie was always interested in the arts, and why not? Art, in your school day, is for the most
The bell on the corner of the door rang as Kostya stamped into the fabric shop. The costume designer stood silent and doe-eyed, and a tall curvaceous woman came out from behind a checkout counter to greet him. Her hair was in ringlets, yet cut asymmetrical and short. She walked over to Kostya and held out her hand.
"Lizabeth Collins, and you must be Mr. Holub. It's nice to meet you." She peered over her glasses as she spoke.
"Pleasure." He shook her hand, and it was to talk to someone who at least acted professional. Then she returned to the counter and he looked to the blonde. "...And you are?"
"Gabrielá....Hearst...." The girl

Dr. Life and the Gentlemen
(An old man sits at the top of a big, round, wooden table his eyes contemplate the table and he sighs. There are others seated at the table, their faces darkened.)
"Well you see, I never said I knew what would happen after it all went black and they put me in the ground."
(The darkened faces all speak in unison with genuine curiosity)
"Who are you?"
(The old man looks up, and gives the impression he's looking everyone in the eye.)
"I was born Mustab Kevorkian, my teachers called me Jack. Because of my interest and fascinations with death, and my, although many say otherwise, compassion for the dying. My peers famo
It was a day in my youth
Where a headache saved my life
From all sorts of torture and dismay
The sun was closing up shop, he was
And, like always, he took the stairs down the sky, into the polluted clouds
There was no escaping the almost deathly humid air
As we sat in the haunted house on the hill
In the middle of suburbia
There was shrieking, and writhing
There was someone I loved possessed by drugs
There was a man that I hadn't ever though of as a stranger, but I was wrong
There was stomping, shouting, and manic depression
There was me in the corner, standing stolid and afraid
My familiar, uncomfortable world was shaken
And wa
Born a Bonchance
"Dear Diary,
My name is Jewel Aria Lagore, There's a tradition in my family that when you turn 14, you get to take on the new family name and begin your own pokemon journey, I am two days away from that very day. Two more days, but I don't know what pokemon I want to pick yet, I mean, there's a lot of them! It's hard to imagine too, that I'm about to become a Bonchance, a celebrity, and destined to become a champion..."
The pencil stopped. I could not think of anything more that I would want to write down.
There was one more thing though, to become great like Kelsey. It was something not hours or days away but years
She was a bombshell.
Her come-hither eyelashes
beckoned you to her
and convinced you she was just another task
like all the others.
While at the same time her lips subtly emitted caution,
and she silently spoke;
"Try me if you dare"
You tried too hard to complete her,
ideas raced through your head
and you paced in circles over and over again.
You tried to think of a way and you couldn't.
After you sat down a failure and submitted into the arms of Sleep
Under the not so watchful eye of Night.
Then that's when she crept through the front door
before stalking stealthily through the halls.
She was a cat and the world was her walk.
What you said
The things that ripped and slashed
And almost bled victims to their deaths
You don't take responsibility for their pain
As they slowly suffer and their world descends in one tragic spiral
From only one foul swoop
And they're lucky to be alive
And you don't care
You don't care because "it's not your fault"
You have a hard life and everyone's sympathy
While your prey tumbles over and over again
Scarred and sore from trying to escape
They almost died
And it's okay
Because you'll forget it in the morning
You will probably never know what became of those souls
The ones that believed they lived to please
Who would loo

Forgotten Unforgetting
I dream of the day
When one of those
"so I was thinking about youuuu"
Or
"Hey remember that time?"
Or
"I MISS YOU!"
Messages are sent to me
But no, my inbox is empty
Void of those friendships that weren't supposed to fail
The ones that were supposed to bridge gaps
The best friends to end the possibilities for any others
I may have moved, but we were a chain of spider silk
Stronger than kevlar and expendably to infinite bounds
Yet when I moved, somehow I still burned up the links
By being too busy to call
By listening to rap
By hanging out with the populars
By playing volleyball
By going to parties
I destroyed those relati
