Array ( [sid] => 71236 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Blue Light [time] => 2004-11-12 16:15:39 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I’ll take a deep breath
I lay on the floor
I don’t know how to pull myself from under
This misery’s like pop-star fame
I’m center stage to this royal showcase of pain

I would love to love
But I can’t
I just live each day as best I can
I would love to have joy, but. . . . .

I wish I could be perfect
All I can prefect is this moment
I’m just a dried out Mary Magdalene

I just, I just, I just
need something
A sign, more like
a slap in the face to tell me that life is worth living
need a kick in the ass to say that “You’re just a dumbass
for trying to throw it all away”

I can’t seem to throw anything away
I pile it up to the top
Till I suffocate myself with hostility
I end up listening to my own screams

Maybe I’m just an owl
with a broken wing who ordered too much KFC
Maybe a little lipstick would make me feel pretty again

I just don’t know anymore
These words just seem to confuse me
but I’m not the doctor
I’m not your savior
I'm not your friend
I’m not your protector
I’m just a trend

I do need to find myself
I do need to bring an end to these everlasting tears
Have to destroy everything,
myself, my memories, all of my humanity
Every trace of their broken promises
Every single lie that was said and sold
Every packaged dream that had me running out of my room screaming

I don’t want to feel like this
I don't want to live like this
slip into amnesiac

The sky was at knees and all in tears
I look death right in the eyes
This dead creature that lay at my feet

It was so cold
water marches like ants
panic button
But I don’t want to feel this way
I have to cut away
pull away
fade away
Until I’m a pilot
When I’m no longer a chicken wing
but an owl

Only when I’m a blue owl
The day will come when I don’t need band-aids
and free from my own abuse
Until I learn that self mutilation isn’t okay
and learn that scabs aren’t nice to look at

Come into new light
Burned raw
Today is perfect for Christmas morning

I’m sorry

All is fine
Everything’s gay
The minute it’s over
Is a new beginning [comments] => 2 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 13 [informant] => kurdtbeanthewikked [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
