White Out Hurricane


Snowing sky
Swirling, falling
Filling the world with white
Erasing the past,
Cleaning the filth
But the silence is temporary
When the snowfall is interrupted
By our busy schedules
We stamp and upset,
Leaving behind slushy waste.

Therapy


Do I need a therapist or a publisher?
What difference does it make?
This society crushes and overwhelms
Media Sea, your waves of reporters
Kill me every time
You are ever-reaching, ever-widening,
Your tentacles strangle the tiniest child.

Ink blots
Shadow puppets
Subconscious messages
Hypnotism

Sardonic teenage girls like me
Don’t stand a chance
Against expectations like that

Endless Rotation


Tough world, rough world,
Big, bad, strong world
Don’t mind us, ants in your path
Just use us, just use us
A blink of your eye
Eons may pass, a day to your sun

Tough world, rough world,
Big, bad, strong world,
Chew us up and spit us out,
Had a bad week?
Hard days ahead, brother

Tough world, rough world
Big, bad, strong world
What doesn’t kill us,
Makes us stronger.
…Right?

Tough world, rough world,
Big, bad, strong world,
Life’s mysteries,
They’re nothing to you
Life’s questions,
Don’t perturb you.
Life’s death,
Doesn’t matter to you

Tough world, rough world,
Big, bad, strong world,
We live, we die
Life goes on.

We laugh, we cry
Life goes on.

We fail, we fly
Life goes on.

The naive, the sly
The brave, the shy
Comply, defy
Hello, goodbye
Life goes on.
