Smiles pain the land with false hope seaping form glued masked with every head that walks the earth. Lies are I jested like air for my upside mind yearns for normalcy through frowns and real emotions, for my mind is a red dot in a blank canvas. A scratch on a clean surface or a mud splash on a white dress. For my upside down mind is like a cave of magic that forms from nothing. From my view the wo...
No matter where I look
In a letter in a book
When I enter I always look for you in the room
I wish it was you each time I see a groom
Wish we had a life together that was straight out of a dream
But now all I can do is have overflowing thoughts of you like a water stream
Because I love you so much that it’s starting to scare me
Maybe that’s why you decided to flee
Because ever since we met you’re ...
I’m upside down. Hanging off my bed. Looking at my childhood room. 2 walls green and 2 walls pink. The pink comforter piled up and my butterfly picture flying off the wall.
Suddenly , 4 walls yellow.
I’m still upside down but my pink comforter has become a Paris one and my butterfly picture is no longer there. Carpet floors and a $20 pink rug. My Harry Potter dress hanging in my closet and my ham...
Look at the upside
Don’t look down
The upside is never really up
But the downside is always so low
Notice that there is no downside up.
You’re always upside down.
Oh this is getting a little sad…
I’ll need to turn your frown upside down.
Upside down.
Just like all of us.
Upside down.
Sweeping the flaws under the rug.
Upside down.
I’m all dizzy from being upside down.
Upside down.
The sk...
i’m upside down
and inside out
within an inverted reality
twirling round and round
pull back my skin
open my chest wide
tear out the ancient truth
that has been hidden inside
all illusion evaporates
my sight becomes clear
the world i gaze out upon
a cosmic mind being mirrored
a sea of infinite potential
each moment, an eternity
you look, my dear child …
but do you really see?...
I’m upside down
The world is spinning
But why are all the creatures grinning?
I’m upside down
Why can’t I stop?
Tell me when the other shoe will drop
I’m upside down
Oh no, not again
It’ll all calm down, but tell me when?
I’m upside down
I can’t do it anymore
My head is getting light, and now it’s sore
I’m still upside down
But when will I fall?
Oh how I wish I could stand proud and tall
Will...
Hanging by one foot,
Upon the web of love that you spun.
Perfectly designed to capture me.
Meticulously detailed,
Memories entangled in the silky threads,
Tied around my pinky finger,
The other end,
Attached to yours.
The world spins without you,
I crave your touch,
I crave your lips.
You’re venomous,
I willingly accept your poison.
With clipped wings,
I will happily remain on this web,
Until d...
Every time I try to get back on my feet, I fall again.
Every time I think about a year ago, I lose all of my motivation; and I fall back down.
I watch the sky turn into a blanket of darkness and wonder if I’m going to be the sky one day. If I’m going to get back up and not even think about stopping. And if I did stop, everyone else would fall. Or maybe that is the reason I don’t want to ge...
