"If I Believe"

If I believe
in the beautiful lies,
I am deluded -

but if I accept
harsh, hopeless,
dark
truths,
I am cynical.

"Moonlit Emotions"

moonlight emotions

place of peace

set me free

set myself free

"Selective Caring"

　
selective hearing

selective caring

your speciality

what part of the word

"desperate"

don't you understand

what part of the words

"need help urgently"

don't you won't you comprehend

can't help now

a patient's ill

I know that patient's me

but you mean a patient you

care about

and you clearly don't care about me

worthless

pointless

irrelevant

that's how I feel

I need a safe space

that's all I need

not to cause a drama

like the ones you help instead

but if you make me desperate

your drama

your entertainment

will arrive

eventually

but that's okay fine I'm only me

just ignore me

with my screams and scars

you can't pander to

people like that

after all

she'll go away in the end

natural wastage

on your stats

you always lose a percentage

nature of the job

"The Whole World Sings Along" - 2012 Edits - Version 2

Popular opinion must always favour

the confidently wrong.

They steal your tunes,

and sing their own lyrics,

and the whole world sings along.


Nobody will be the one to admit

that the emperor has no clothes on.

"In My Defence"

There are words I could use in my defence.

My mind goes blank. I can’t think of any.

I’m ill. That’s not a criminal offence.

You take me to bits. There are too many

Answers you’ve rehearsed. If I’d a penny,

For each time that I knew a point I’d made

Was valid, yet you just wouldn’t hear me –

Then, stuff "benefits" – I would be well-paid.



The way that you seem to want to steer me –

I won’t go. You tried to break me: Nearly.

"Greyscale Days"

I struggle through each

Greyscale day,

And even

The silver in my night sky is

Tarnished.
