Hopelessly Lost in Other World

I too have been deemed an other, 

The other remains the sane; 

For the sister to a brother, 

May be but the only main. 

I have traveled farther, 

Then those who may have not; 

But this dark that now I harbor, 

Fills lungs with sap-like rot. 

I other in a land that brims, 

With skies of sisters dancing, 

Though those that can contain their limbs, 

Knock down the others standing. 

In shock my body’s stuck confused, 

Its rigged stature haltered; 

And others sit while great amused, 

It's I who had just faltered. 

This other-world in other-land, 

I had once so revered, 

Has squared to me a brother-band, 

That's left me fallen tears. 

I wish that I could just compel, 

Myself to be the same, 

But mad instead of being well, 

I often come to blame. 

I don't believe that I have chose, 

The right way on; 

I’ll state my woes- 

I am an other through and through, 

I don’t think I may ever you, 

This may have been my one mistake, 

But where to go from here you say? 

Well I won't know- 

Just let me be! 

You’re clearly steady lost on me. 

But I can say with heavy frey, 

That I may never win this way.

  • War

    Every story I've ever been told has held a spot in my life, 

    The goodest of hero's and foulest of foes did share with me the night. 

  • Five of Me

    I feel sometimes I'm split in two, 

    Of all the things I have to do, 

    I must answer call from call, 

    And write you when you feel small, 

  • Pluto

    She wished that space would talk to her,

    And whispered to the moon,

    About the days that haunted her,

    And those that would come soon.

    She wanted to apologize,

    For wishing on the stars,
