“God damn it Gale we’ve been over this. If you want me to sleep with you just say something don’t go puttin weird drugs into my food.” Rolling my eyes I try to ignore all the strange looks I got from passersby’s. Gale looked at me both surprised and something else I couldn’t quite place, embarrassment maybe? I grab a new drink from a waiter walking around with a tray of champagne. I took a few sips before Gale walked over to me and said in a hushed tone, “It’s not what you think, and besides I don’t drug my dates and then sleep with them for your information. I ask them nicely like a gentleman.” I nearly spit out my drink. “When do you ask for anything nicely?”

Love is like a lie that keeps us alive. Like believing theirs a higher power out there that can hear our prayers and save us from this hopeless existence we live. Death will become of us all, death feels no bias or pity. It takes whom ever no matter the skin or religion or whatever. Death is the horrible truth and love is the sweetest of lies. Something most of society ideally ignores or chooses too out of fear of what comes after us. If we all share the same grave whose to say we all don’t share the same fate of what’s at the end of the tunnel.

Look, I didn’t ask to be picked. None of us did. But the Jedi are so desperate for any kind of force sensitive children that they were willing to pay the parents off in order to get us. Honestly when you think about becoming a Jedi it’s almost like becoming a slave, we’re taken from our home worlds because was can move a ball with our minds and are forced to learn how to wield its power and listen to an old guy we have to call Master. We go through rigorous training for years until they throw us into something called ‘the Jedi Trials’ and give us a glow stick that can cut through anything. But most of all, we’re not allowed to leave. Ever.

Here I was buyin some fruit for the week when I spot a couple kissin by the big tree in town square. There’s a legend that if you kiss under that tree you’ll be together forever, how sweet. The two look like they’ve seen things, the man had some huge scars on his face and looked partly blind from some explosion. The shorter girl had a cybernetic right leg from her knee down and her hair was slightly singed at the ends like she’s been shot at and just barley escaped. Those two have definitely been through something together but giving how their looking at each other with tears in there eyes and smiles on their faces I have a feeling there gonna be together for a long time.

If you reached inside my heart, what would you do with it? If you saw all the ugly underneath, Of you saw all the things I never wanted you to see, Would you still love me? Would you stay by my side? Or would you run away, Leaving me with the broken pieces you left behind. Would you look at me with pity? To see a poor girl, Lost and afraid, Someone who lost their way, Someone who became all they vowed to never be. They look in the mirror, And no longer see themselves, But a shadow of who they once were. If you reached into my heart, what would you do with it?

The Dark Carnival, known for its one of a kind rides and outlandish performances. Its ring leader was a lady named Vanessa, the Jester was Katy, Trapeze was Bethany and finally the Animal Tamer was Eloise. Each of them played there roles, day in and day out giving it everything they’ve got to keep the show going and the spirit of the Dark Carnival alive. What people don’t know is that these 5 beauties are cannibals who feed on unsuspecting victims who get lost in the House of Mirrors. Some go in, very few come back out. Who knew that eating people could make you immortal, that is if you sell your soul to the devil to help your house of horrors become a theme park.

I’ll never forget the first time I told Tech that I loved him. It was while we were on a mission and I was corned by two inquisitors. I had escaped but at the expense of losing my right leg from the knee down. I blacked out as I was walking and I saw him running toward me. I gave a weak smile and felt myself nearly hit the ground, but I didn’t. He caught me. As I was waking up in the barracks I saw that I was hooked up to a few machines and Tech was asleep at the foot of my bed, holding my right hand. “Tech,” I had barely said over a whisper. “I love you,” I said smiling weakly at his sleeping form. I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t say right now before passing out once again. I just hope he heard me.

I feel it in my bones The victory I’ve always wanted So close I can almost taste it The glory in which my hard work has given me The end of the tunnel The finish line of the race So close And yet so far So close I came to having it all But like Icarus I flew too close to the sun I feel my wings burning up The ground getting closer The finish line just became the start Why is it that when we get so close We lose it all Why can’t I Just be the one To have it all

All I see is Shattered pieces I can’t look away From all this pain in the war we waged A war never meant to be ours to fight We were The peace keepers Never cause harm And now all I hear is alarms Going off in the distance I can’t help wonder if this is how we end The end of all that we stood for All that we fought for To fight for a Republic we’d never see To fight for peace And live out of service And in death we serve a high purpose I can no longer see In the grand scheme of things How all of this was worth anything in the end I guess it doesn’t matter who won in the end In death we both lost the fight.

You think it’s so cute To trample over other people You think it’s so funny To make people cry You think your so great But deep down, your really shallow Think your some big deal When really you ain’t shit I wonder if it’s because Your were unloved As child maybe you were often ignored Or maybe someone hurt you in a way That made you so unfixable So now you insist On tarring people down Just to lift yourself up But really I hope you cry yourself to sleep at night I hope one day you end up all alone With no one but yourself to blame Because deep down, your really shallow
