Getting lazy:
I dreamed of the short haired girl with knobby knees
And the petulant pooch festered with fleas
Of a seductive siren with audible stutter
And being usurped by a younger brother
The sharks in the ocean that swim with glee
Come all at once and bear down on me
Going crazy:
Retreat to a place where no sane people go
Sexual freedom, friends, and drugs all in tow
Like your first day in Hell, it all seems droll
Until the host grabs knife and demands his toll
Some get upset, but most of them laugh
It's not a party of people but rather of raff
Crescendo:
They all come and go, avoiding to see
That their work reeks of forgery
Hushed whispers and secrets, masks and disguises
Hiding devils and despots of all shapes and sizes
The perverted truth left to seep from the seams
From a patchwork of plans and terrible schemes
Blame:
Accusations and assumptions turn saviors to serpents
Dump out their bags and search through the contents
Interrogate and torture all who might plunder
Mistrust is learned and deceit is their blunder
Muster our troops and prepare for attack
As defense fails and dark villains stack
She says:
Lock up the good; set the criminals free
I'll overwhelm them with lies and hypocrisy
The drugs and abuse make my comments so crass
That I'll smear my goodbye with lipstick on glass
Empty bottles of vodka and sharp shattered dishes:
My response to presents and kind Christmas wishes
I say:
Pass me the pills and say all your prayers
'Cause you will never have me or get my several deep layers
Take your psychobabble your buzzwords and put them on the shelf
'Cause my treasure, my precious is only myself
Try on new clothes and leave me to pay.
The bills stack up; lie that you'll pay me back someday.
Today:
The turtles and tadpoles tell over tea
of all these things and others to me
Dream instead of the light-hearted girl in the breeze
Or the loyal pooch in the shade of the trees
Feast on dark green veggies that spread like butter
and mumble soft calming whispers to soothe like a mother
