they say our forefathers
fought for this
but my
emancipated
belief is
the state of these
united shapes today
would break their
hearts
into fifty
pieces
Anomalous lady in
incandescent light
we are kinless - and foreign
but your dress
I clutch vainly at its hem,
with its infinite stars,
and lines
that never cross.
this freedom counts costs
in loss
and lives
reviled and resized
to slip through cracks
displaced
displayed
on dollar signs
Why shiver
in your own confines?
The telescope's ring
has worn thin,
a constant
coast-line vigil,
searching for midnights,
scanning the skies
for fireworks
but what's worse
is what we're worth
or at least
what we make work
some god's implied blessing
while the world
bears its worst curse
to observe
you open your purse
for blood and oil,
while the kids
cannot learn,
take a clean flag,
wipe clean your
democracy
hold the harbour torch
an inch higher
and let it shine it brighter,
for all the nations to see.

bare bones
once upon a time, there was a little girl and everyone thought she was a perfectionist but really she wasn't really she was a person really really really real - ly.
{reality is a myth, reality is an illusion a delusion reality is pure imagination (or at least, that's what she makes herself believe because she knows that she will never know any better, her perception of reality is twisted like mirrors falling falling down she loves you she loves the world but it's herself she can't stand because honestly love is all about trust and it's impossible to trust something you know is a ticking time bomb tick-tocking away that just might break the p

Never Again
The rain boy had sworn that he would never again smile. His eyes always soaked the oceans with tears from his past and his heart was always dark and locked to anyone who could try and help him. His world had become so bleak and dark, that he stood in rooms of people that were a blur past him and a guitar that just no longer played.
So when the sunshine girl met the rain boy, for a second, the world stood still. In that tiny little balcony, where there was only space for two, the sunshine girl asked the rain boy, "When was the last time you smiled?"

I love how it works together so well as a whole! I read 'seamless' somewhere in the comments and I couldn't agree more.
