if youre reading this, call me. i don't care what time of day it is or how long after today you read this.
i really miss you.
Alice, sweet poor Alice
alone on your throne
in your palace
you drank from that chalice?
and you shrank... toward the floor
Nobody can see you anymore
you fell through the cracks
will you ever get back?
Now though, that you are so small
The world does not seem so big at all
Miss Alice, who possibly could save you
from this dark cave you've thrown
yourself down
the black drinking up light and you choke or
you drown
Who might ever find you?
and may I remind you, young Alice
This world's blinded
to anyone smaller, and each man is taller
than all the other men around
...it doesn't seem as if you'll be found
How is it there Underland
heart keeps time like thunder and lightning
up your veins, a flood
of blood, and raining light illuminates
and erases the pain
Everything thats underhand
you reach out to grasp
all the spaces between the s p a c e s
Occupying (or not) the places you thought
to be real
Its hard to feel when you are gone
the world is not
Alice, could you come back if you missed
earth a lot?
its become habit
chasing the rabbit
falling more off track
do you want to be found?
or to find your way back?
Are you still in the ground, fallen between the cracks?
in the particles of light lost in the black
shake
break
take a bite, make it alright
Swallow this,
A l i c e . . . .
take three or four or more and get
back to me
One makes you tall, the next again
small, the third, you'll fall
if after you're lucky
you'll be able to crawl
Do you want to be found?
Fight tooth-and-nail to stay around?
it doesnt seem to matter what amount
because nobody else is keeping count
not only am i still here, but i seem to be the only one.
i am a incredible, scattered mess/work of art right now.
peaces.
i am volunteering at a medical marijuana collective. and still showing my naked body to "men" that don't want to pay. jobs i do and dont want.
i'd make a comment about the economy, but that's not really it. everyone in america is here because of war. fuck war and fuck america.
i'm sorry, native americans.
i'm sorry, god.
once i thought that there was no way out. now i think maybe i am out. and everyone else is still in.
what i can say for certain is that i've gained 92348 strength, 4072 moxie and 62826 mysticality.
follow me.
i wonder what happened to all those people i had forged typed connections with.
and if they ever wonder about me.
also... what's the deal with myspace? a website full of people determined to remind me when i worked so hard to forget them. it's only people i knew in "real" life trying to invade my computer reality. no thanks
i'm getting myself in trouble.
any improvements, really.
at least i'm not constantly in trouble.
...the consequences of bad decisions i may or may not have already made.
i'm waiting?
now that i've gotten things to slow down to half-pace, i realize that i've still got way too much on my plate.
i have no idea how i was doing it, although i'm pretty sure i wasn't really.
i can't even sleep because i'm thinking so much. why am i even more stressed out now?
because of her.
because of him...
because of this, that, and whatnot. and whatever. and who knows? and maybe.
forget the sandman; my latest bedtime buddy is the whatif monster.
anyways. i'm working on it.
almost anyone,
almost anywhere else.
and i swear i'd almost be happy
but i can promise that i'd probably be happier
except... what is happiness but a smile?
and what is a smile, but an outward
appearance
content is in a heart
and my heart is missing that ingredient
infact, it beats at an opposite frequency
"malcontent," even.
it. beats. either. too. fast. or too. slow. and uneven. and breaks and. shakes.
it gives and takes
but still, anything. any reason
other than this
a)
and. we'd all be a little less sick to our stomachs
b)
because. nothing else is ever enough like this could never be
well, that last poem was ultra-crap. i've done bad, but that was probably worse than when i started.
i'm tired of christmas, of stripping, of credit cards. of plane flights. i don't want to go to alabama, but i do want to see amanda, badly. i want to go, but i hate planes, i hate packing.
i'm just on a rant today, aren't i. down, girl.
saw the eight: reindeer monologues. brilliant.
too much has gone on to make a short update. i'll try again later.
bronchitis blows. as does alliteration. and that last poem.
my body's twisted on the floor
soon you won't see it anymore
they'll carry it off
far away
it'll be buried by next friday
but first i'll be frozen
and cut open
and they'll find black lungs
as well as black heart
they'll find a soul once torn apart
they'll find an engine that wouldn't restart
until i completely own the world.
that's right, bitches. one week and i'm LEGAL.
yes. yes, that's right.
we all fall backwards
onto the grass
look at the sky
the rain looks like glass
drops onto our faces
cutting our eyes
i feel like i've
dropped off the face
of
the
earth
it means
i really don't know how i feel
and.i'm.not.qualified to tell you
so i'll just
run my mouth
always talking never saying anything
empty words splashing everywhere
getting you all wet without meaning
well, damn
here i go again
saying nothing talking lots
circles and squares and diamonds
when's it gonna end, eh?
in through yours and out of mine
bodies moving, dance in time
eyes stare outward, all alone
each a kingdom for its throne
worship the music
so freedom rings
listen carefully
as beauty sings:
"follow me to the dungeon
and i'll put on a show
that will last forever
or at least until you go
follow me through the forest
over the green hills
i'll feed you full of music
until you've had your fill
follow me into the ocean
i'll even help you swim
trusting the song of a siren
trust in my every whim"
the touch of song light as a feather
grazing across our stolen hearts
we dance to keep our hearts together
stop too long, they'll fall apart
the music grabs harder
my heart beats faster
if this should stop
will end in disaster
worshipping their rythm
as each note swings
from the music's treetops
higher, still she sings:
"follow me to freedom
through the sky to peace
where the stars dance in unison
or to one song, at least
and the song will last forever
longer if you want
the music notes will run and play
forever nonchalant
and you could run along with them
falling deep in love
but still okay to run away
and you'll find this all above
all we need's a place to fly
far away from here
we'll leave the earth quite far behind
as we fly away from fear."
we'll find the trees from which she sings
the branches from which her notes swing
we'll grab the ropes and go so high
that, should we let go, we would fly
and we'll fly out through the atmosphere
we'll be soaring far from here
this place where every dancer's eyes
are shrouded in their own disguise
and all the ears hear different songs
where dancers can't just get along
we'll find the place where bodies move
to a higher being's groove
this is the hardest thing
i've ever done
without telling anyone
and i did it all
on no sleep
no counting sheep
straight up all night
i learned, alright.
he taught me things
i already knew
he said them till my brain was blue
suffocated
and thoughts couldn't get through
so many words with nothing to do
a bright lit computer screen
instead of inviting
just looks mean
and void of anything close to real
anything
that could make me feel
make me bleed
then make me heal.
the sun's coming up
up, over, and out
it seems like there's a story
that it should be about
but i think to not think
or sit back and not drink
just try to not blink
focus on the bright light
stare while your
mind and eyes fight
i really should turn away
but i need to watch the start of today
to discern wrong from right
to truly watch a bird's flight
this is when
it all get's figured out.
this is when i decide what about
and this meaningless sunrise
that's blinding to my eyes
and all the words
and all the stories
all the birds and
falls from glory
all the grass atop the mud
broken glass that's caked in blood
i run through my mind
till it stops making sense
and the little runner finds
the inevitable fence
that barricades her in the pasture
for sometime from now
and could last until after
"after what?"
a question said.
replied the answer,
"escaping her head"
they're putting me under
and i wish they'd put me down
i'm tired of being watched
and touched
and told
my skin is two shades darker
and my eyes
and my hair
this needs to be fixed
i'm quit by next next thursday.
and i'll smoke right up until an hour before.
and probably after.
my mom bought some weed from the liquor store man. brandon talks like a stoner now, and i want to hit him until he stops. it's scary, watching people slip away, when you weren't watching them before.
i miss the way kat was.
and jess
and anyone else, probably.
i miss missing.
and knowing what to miss.
i really shouldn't . do this.
i cling to life and death
so tightly grasped in my fists
not knowing what to choose
i'm so fucking lost right now.where the hell did i go?
i'm doing another bad thing and skipping school. i wish jess hadn't yelled at me.
my brain is lesser than it was. i feel infantile, i can't comprehend past a certain point. this point comes about five times more than it did before the pcp.
so yeah kids.
i'm a statistic... again.
brilliant.
all i've got going for me is i'm a brilliant writer. and... ha. that's gone now too.
fuck it all.
strangely, this is one of my good days.
although in the grand scale of things, it's shit. my girlparts are having serious problems, i've got a fucking std, i might have cancer, my brain got fried by what i thought was weed but was angel dusted, and i can't fucking think clearly, i'm supposed to be at school but i got a fucking headache for the 2738471293804731892th day in a row. nothing's making fucking sense to me.
but, graded on a curve, my day is going well. because all those problems up there have been happening for the last few weeks. the headache, last few years. maybe i need glasses.
i really wish all these problems would just go away. but i hate doctors, and what could they possibly do for me?
good. jessica just called. i feel better.
but still, i need to take my vitamins. and go to the doctors.
i need help. someone help me.
it's monday again
and i'm homesick for him.
blue eyes melt me
more than your words
as i fall into bed
if i miss your arms my body's screaming
feeling you next to me
and my mind is anywhere it's not supposed to be
don't take it personal
this ADD love is the best i've ever had
let's go roll down a grassy hill
no, wait
let's go spin in circles
or
make out at the park
or
just lay here all day
and kiss and kiss other places and kiss
the hours as they fly by the window
but that's all the way across the room
we'll have to blow the kisses
but why would we waste them on time?
save all our kisses for eachother
i'll stare at you for a few minutes
if i look sad, i'll tell you looks are deceiving
but we always gave eachother away
from the first few moments we bothered to look
if i look sad, i am
because i know i'll have to blink
and what if when my eyes are closed you disappear or die?
or what if we both blink at the same time...
and never see eachother again?
if i look happy?
you made me that way.
if i look out the window,
i want to fly away with the hours
(i wonder why they fly when you're next to me but sit when you're gone?)
and take you with me
but you're too heavy to carry
and too big to fit through the holes in the screen
eventually we'll crawl out of this bed together
maybe
crawl into the shower
or run to your car
where i'll kiss you again
and watch you drive
waiting for you to look at me
squeeze your hand three times if you don't look often enough
if i look scared i'm scared to lose you before i manage to lose me
if i look anything at all
let's just say... my prom dress is hotter than yours. and unfortunately, will not come off as easily. but it's worth it. GORGEOUS.
i'll post pictures when i have some.
starting school tomorrow. BLEH! i'm starting to think i didn't give myself enough time to just lounge around and be a kid. no surfing or other such funstuffs.
it's alright though. only one year until i move out and never have to wash someone else' (else's?) dishes again.
brandon has a nice. nice. nice nicenicenice body.
damn.
anyways.
i haven't written anything of substance in awhile. maybe i'll go work on that.
_______________
under the staircase lies a secret
if i told you, you'd never believe it
but it's true, it's true:
(whispers)
don't tell anyone what i told you
do you see, in that window
where sits that young girl
for hours she's seated
staring out at the world
she knows these secrets
and she told them to me
and they never were
what i guessed them to be
take me and break me.
fake and shake me.
falling under
hard like thunder
falling under
hard like
i
want to feel you tearing out of yourself
and in in into me
feel you falling
whilst i'm crawling
far away into my mind
where i'm very hard to find
start to stop
desires drop
i'm so on top
of everything
i don't hear you scream
sex is murder
you came and hurt her
