Twisted Tangled Thoughts
You lived in a tower all your life,
Not knowing you were trapped,
Unaware of the chains that were woven into your mind.
How they kept you shackled,

nostalgia
I want to go back to that simpler time,
Where we ran through fields and played in dirt,
When we had an abundance of freedom, a million open moments,

a choice of color
When you were a kid,
When you were still learning animal names,
And awed by the world around you,
What did it mean when you looked up,
At other kids, at adults,

burning
Burned at the stake for all to see.
Boo! Scream the crowds, words full of glee.
Smiles lit up the kids faces as they stared at me,
While the witches cried out for a flicker of mercy.

Inevitable
So monarchies fell,
And tyrants too,
Whether democracy does,
Is not up to you.

dissected
You might want to be a fly on the wall,
Discover what people really think,
What people say when you’re not around.
You don’t want to be a bug on the windshield,

Me vs myself
What is this
you know what this is
it scares me
it's real
I don't like this
don't deny it
I don't know what to do about it
it's not the end of the world

Between Lies and Pain
I choose pain.
We gossip all the time.
Shaping somebody,
to what they aren't.
When rumors emerge
between shadows
we change who somebody is

Not yet.
No.
No, no, no, no!
It can't be December,
not yet.
Because just a minute ago,
we were going back to school shopping.
And now we're almost halfway through the year?
It doesn't make sense.

Little Lies
I thought I was an extrovert-
I'm not.
I can't talk to somebody unless they approach me first.
So I don't correct when somebody says something that's wrong,

Planning
I can only wish to check off something from my
endless lists that create the illusion of success.
What will it be today?
My week old math homework due in the next hour
or adding another item to my list?

A professional liar
Shadows dance on the names we wear,
hiding our true feelings deep down in our pockets.
Hearing each other's footsteps as you walk downstage,
sounds strangely nice.
