I can be such an angry little girl at times
The anger inside of me burns enough to scorch those surrounding me
That is why I remain secluded and alone
so none can be scalded by the blazing fire in my eyes, fists, tongue, and heart
fire not of passion but pure of hatred of the actions of others
bottled up emotions resurfacing as I reach my peak
I'm about to explode.
I shake and tremble trying so hard not to cry
for I was once sad and deppressed; feeling nothing but sorrow and pity for myself.
Now my sadness is transformed into fury.
Look not into my eyes
for my harsh glare will turn you to stone
black stone identical to my

NEVER ENOUGH
I'm so fed up with everyone around me
No one seems to care
I'm just so far gone and nothing's gonna change
I'll never be the same
It's always do this, do that, everything they want to
I don't wanna live that way
Every chance they get they're always pushing me away
It's never enough, no it's never enough
No matter what I say
It's never enough, no it's never enough
I'll never be what you want me to be
It's all so messed up and no one ever listens
Everyone's deranged
I'm just so fucked up and I'm never gonna change
I wanna lay it all to waste
They're always say this, say that, nothing that you

Thoughts
pitter, patter
splatter, plop
ice cubes melting
in my pop
click, clack
crunch, smack
sunburns hurt
my poor back
titter, flitter
teehee, hoho
children laughing
away they go
summers here
summers gone
fall is rising
with the dawn
swoosh, swish
fish and frogs
leaves are falling
it's raining cats and dogs
school bells chime
children learn
back to school
summer is what they yearn
day by day
year by year
every thing changes
don't shed a tear.
pitter, patter
splatter, plop
ice cubes melting
in my pop.......

Experienced ...
In every experience...
Every choice is an opportunity to make the best choice. Every difficult decision serves as an occasion to firmly reinforce, with your actions, your most deeply held values.
From every mistake, there is much you can learn. In every setback, there are seeds of a more determined, purposeful and effective life.
Every disagreement is an opportunity to more fully understand. Every disappointment helps to shine a light on what you truly value most.
Whatever this day holds, somewhere in it there is positive value. Each moment is filled with possibilities for adding to the ri

MEN AND MASCARA
Sunday dress hanging on the bedroom door
Empty bottle of wine on the hardwood floor
Last night, he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run
Did I give my love too soon or wait too long
Did I take it a little too easy, or put it on too strong
She was looking for love, he was looking for fun
Yeah, men and mascara always run
She ain't getting any younger
It wasn't s'posed to be this way
Staring in the mirror
With little black rivers running down her face
Tomorrow's gonna be a brand new day
She'll wake up in the morning and wash it all away
Last night, he said she was the one
Oh,

Pathetic
What's this life mean to me?
It's full of pain and misery
Scattered thoughts,shattered hearts
Coming unwound in a thousand parts
Pathetic existence,wasting time
Light grows dimmer with less shine
Shadows clouding out happy days
Began wandering aimlessly inside this daze
Called upon for meaningful advice
Becoming the world's most used device
Time unshared for a singular feeling
Running out of outlets for dealing
Aching headaches, subduing stress
When's an opportunity to confess
Hurt's eating its way through my light
Shutting my colossal doors to life
Suffocation, agony preventing breathing
Wish

Wasting my time
So today i did a lot of thinking and I've realized that i worry about how everyone else feels.
Well, times are changing and so are things with me.
I'm tired of always being there for other people but no one's ever there for me
i'm just the go-to guy with your problems and daily strifes, but when time comes for me, zilch,nada, no one wants to listen
So forget it, im done helping people and listening to everyone's issues
Get a counselor bc im tired of hearing you harp on and on about he did this or she did that
Life sucks, deal with it

I feel like a failure...
I found a favorite blog...
http://www.figarospeech.com/
This has some of the funniest things I have ever seen. It also makes points from multiple sides of issues.
Blogs are heralding the death of capitalization, spelling, and any other grammar rule you can find. I still like this one.
My big question for people who post online is; how difficult is it to copy, paste, and spell check your posts?
Also, I've been looking up information about Terry Gilliam's animation. I want to work in the vein of his animation style. Does anyone have a suggestion on a camera that is good for stop-mot

embarrassing dream of flying
I woke in her cold wooden house
beams and joists cracking frozen
I had an embarrassing dream of flying
she and I away from this winter place
in cartoon suits and spaceman helmets
across the sky with our true smiles
but she always holds her cards too close
keeps the presents and the kisses hidden
and I have to search for them like a child
I can't make her keep her ass at home
I can't take her away just smiling
so I stay and take the inches from her
holding my ground until the mile is made
I always put logs on to blaze and heat
and keep a window open for cold air
I just can't breathe in a closed
