[hometext] => (it's abstract self expression through words that scream many different tunes. please comment)
[bodytext] => Is it my fault My arms can not reach Though my mind can Did I chop off my legs Reconnect them at the ankle? Disentangle my spinal chord install faulty lines, scarring bone structure Did I take a knife to my breast and tear out flesh? Did I ask when I was born Did I ask To be born Did I ask Did I look you in the eye and ask permission for what is Irrepressible Wishful thinking never did me any good, Patience never made me stronger. But No it doesn't hurt to lean down and Kiss me It doesn't hurt to Embrace me It doesn't hurt to Smile as though the word is ending Eloquent blather, Didn't your mother teach you Not to use those words? Didn't your mother teach you Not to pierce the core-even unknowingly-- Not to bruise the heart on That simple green sleeve Eloquent blather. but wasn't I warned. Wasn't I warned by continuing irony Wasn't I warned by well meaning Parade Rainers, Smile Killers, And Friends. Punished by Providence: If love is my sin Than let me burn…… Burn for eternity. Let my skin be burnt until It's black and crispy Let my eyes become nothing but holes Let my skull become deformed along with the rest of my youth, As my eyes are Deformed For youth is not what ails me, Youth is a figment of the Petty Construction of society. My eyes are bright, young you may say But My Bones have been here Since The Beginning. If love is my sin Let me bleed And be crucified along with Hordes of unrepentant sinners.
