Onward

Like the roll of the drum 

Is marching on 

Without a reason

Without the sun. 

Like the blast of trumpets

Is living

Without a feeling

Without giving. 

Shattering into 

Fragments too small

The world too tall

Loneliness 

Is an unforgiving conductor. 

Heartbeat ringtone

The veins in my arms

Have been ripped out

One by one

My butterfly heart

Had his wings plucked off

And now he rolls 

Everywhere. 

I don't fly anymore. 

Flights of fancy 

have been canceled, 

And all unnecessary smiles

Nixed. 

I wake up with an anvil 

On my chest,

And I put it into my bag

Just so that I can carry on. 

I feel like a zombie 

In living skin

Very confused,

Because zombies are used 

to being dead;

I don't know where this life comes from.  

Somehow even without my veins

my heart is beating. 

nursery rhyme

Fire, fire, burning bright, 

Oh how lovely is your light

Spinning, dancing, fleet of foot,

Everywhere you go is soot. 

Heated elfin flame so brave,

I cannot make you to behave. 

You are burning in my soul

All too content to make a hole. 

Burning up my steaming heart,

You alternate to do your part

Pangs of pleasure, pangs of pain, 

Sometimes sun and sometimes rain,

Fire, fire, burning bright, 

Oh how lovely is your light. 

 

Rainy worries

Worrying 

Spinning down

Like a raindrop

Flurrying down 

More like a paindrop

Sliding backwards down a mountain of

Dew and do nots

Hurrying down

Destiny never more uncertain

Rushing down

With the others also unsure

Of where down

Will take them

And we all fall down together

Can we ever rise again

Worrysaur

I miss what is past 

and the future scares me 

and the what ifs engulf my spine 

and I sit here 

and wait to grow scales to go with 

my spiky backbone of worries and fears 

that keeps me from sitting down comfortably
