| "Life Turtle" | ||
i am moving slowly in the right direction i feel like a life turtle crawling through life falling asleep to rest along the way i am awake chewing on a leaf drinking blackberry melot caffeine on an empty stomach peeing in the woods unlike the bear who commutes I am swimming through the sea of uncertainty hopefully finding my way plenty of room to try and fail following the current when the mood hits going against the current when i'm being stubborn running into the reef when i'm jostled falling on my back sometimes waiting for my dolphin on a seahorse to rescue me |

| "feeling blue and broken" | ||
it's raining inside my house puddles everywhere coming after me i'm feeling blue and broken disjointed feelings creepy images i'm not an artist i'm not a singer i'm not the girl you bring home to bed i'm not the girl you want to wed i'm broken if even just a little bit i'm soiled the stigmas of my life are seen i'm lonely in the shadows of all my friends i'm sleepless without all those dreams clouded and falling are the skies all around drowning in an ecstasy of sadness blending in with the rain i'm invisible helpless hopeless with a bit of sunshine shining i'm seeing the flaming hot sun through the rain faintly yellow pink and red if only this image would over take my head the darkness turned to light i will find that madelyn lurking in the shadows and bring her out the smile and beauty restored |

| "Angel on the Inside/devil on the outside" | ||
| i am a mighty angel i have the scar to prove it I'm missing my wings my halo is less shiny but i am still an angel proud and true my breasts in angelic ecstasy hover in my clothing awaiting someone to shield my heart from injury and pain unseen to the normal being my greatness incomprehensible to anyone but angels and devils i am on high clouds looking over i see my world below me watch it turn each day i see the destruction the rebirth the death...coming like a heard of angry buffalo on the plain You are a devil you mock me when i am at my best you loved me once but lost your way you cavort with lesser demons you prefer them to me the angel in the rough you want someone else pursuing other interests i understand i'm too good for you my broken and stitched up heart a product of unending sorrow is at peace no more waiting for you no more love will i waste i have released you |

| "masked man" | ||
I'm constantly in a ballroom, dancing in circles, bathed in lights sometimes a slow song, sometimes a waltz many masked men, many women in dresses I am alone, awaiting my prince not even the women notice i'm there i am an apparition, in the midst of splendor i am invisible on the radar of love why must we hide behind the masks? why must we hide the knives in our backs? why must we hide the scars in our hearts? why must we cater to others faults? why must we all be at the ball? I'm looking at myself in the mirror a soft cheek, an asian inspired eye my mask is lovely feathered and bright everyone else's seem dull in the light one lady in particular drags down every passing man why must they be seduced by this attention craving loon finding themselves in a sticky web I know i am true no lies to behold bearing my soul to the very few who look at my faults realize my desires still love who i've become pursue me inwardly and never speak a word come out my masked man leave the crowd behind forget those women who hide behind their visages of sweet, kind, and loving women come back to me even if it's in my dreams i'll see you again or so it doesn't seem you'll be forgiven i'll ease your pain remove the knife clean the stain wipe the blood begin anew with you i will prevail |

| "EmoTionAllY UnBoUndeD" | ||
i am a light warm and inviting breathing life into you a beacon of strength and fortitude i am also the darkness cold and thoughtful i take your breath i am a mountain strong and tall if you dare to climb me you'll see i am earthly I am the hole in the ground shallow and deep if you fall for me you'll see my core I am a woman my breasts and fingertips await you i am a sexual kitten of desire i am here awaiting I am a man i don't need to know where i'm going i'll find my own way i objectify women sometimes lightdarkmountainholewomanman me. |
