I don't remember the day I just remember how it felt
Like everything I'd ever known was just beginning to melt
I flash back to age 7 and I'm walking up the stairs
I am only overwhelmed with pure joy;
It is when I take in that sweet fresh air.
The smell of rain lingers as a decoy,
It's a distraction to the lack of care.
If only I could travel back through time,
where life starts to go trough hell fire and flame.
For when I finally started to aim,
I lost my future's grip and could not climb.
I would catch myself and all my glory,
I want to say thank you
For showing me how to love,
But more importantly
How to give
Without an ulterior.
I want to say thank you
Tulips,
The color of sweetened cream.
Delicate, like the whisper,
Lulling you into dreams.
Burning crimson,
Cutting through chilled air,
Precise on a frozen branch,
Through her veins the venom ran
Sweet, quiet Mary Ann
All she wanted was to be powerful and strong
But sickening tones became of her swan song
Her eyes turned a golden, shining hue
I
Daddy wraps his arm round Mommy's waist.
Mommy holds my hand. She knows her love's not a waste.
Brother grips my small fingers with love and face aglow.
Sister clings to Daddy's leg threat'ning to ne'er let go.
The rush of your love is like a wave,
And your touch is one that I always crave.
I know inside I have to be brave,
And think of the future we’re going to pave.
Every second I want to savor,
What is Love? A trivial thing?
A higher power one may believe?
Emotion one yearns when theirs is so hurt?
Or a wink, a single causation to flirt?
Love is all of these things and yet, so much more.
Everyone knows the common story where the princess stay with her prince,
not every story goes as it is told
Let's talk about the story where the princess is left alone
There once was a girl,
who’s hair twirled in a gentle curl.
This girl’s was named Red,
because of the blood she had shed,
such a sad story to behold.
Yes it's me Ursula, couldn't you tell
Dwelling in my cave, preparing a spell
I just met Ariel, oh what a gem
Ha! I'm joking, she's really quite dim
Longing for a man that she'll never ever get
You dress like me,
You talk like me,
You rap like me,
You sing like me,
You dance like me,
You swag like me.
You cut yourself to look like me:
Big lips, big booties.
"Never again"
History's a cruel mystery
But how clever a pen
Cinema's sentiment's more cinnamon-sweet
We're amateur janitors just been sent in to sweep
Epilogue for a demagogue when we set him asleep
If there's one thing I should ask you,
if there's one thing you're to keep
well-kindled into memory, it's
"Don't let me fall asleep."
He can only reach out through my dreams;
to slumber's my mistake.
You went down to play?
That's their game of night or day
Gents’ swig, gals’ sway
Six nights to sin, 7th to pray
I wish I were among the stars
There is better than where we are
I'd shine above the world below
And sparkle when I wanted so
Down here on solid ground there's hate
Life comes with all this stress and weight
My confidence swells as I realize,
I am better than ever to those amber, brown eyes.
They widen as I draw near,
Everything but inferior,
In her presence I feel
i will never know how to breathe without pain
there will always rest a parasite in the wrinkles of my brain
speaking in code to my uterus and to my esophagus,
this "being human"? i'm bad at this

Those grey birds
They beat their wings
Droves of feathers following
Up and up into the air
Flying high with little care
One bird, two birds
