Confessions of a Bound Soul
Brother, my brother,
How selfish was I
While you seemed to struggle,
I sat idly by
Brother, my brother
Yes, try as I might
I now realize
It was also my fight
Brother, my brother
Now look at your arm
It's cold and immovable
Lost all its charm
Brother, my brother
Now look at your leg
There's so much left missing
Yet not once did you beg
Brother, my brother
Though I lost more in mass
It is you far more haunted
By our mistakes in the past
Brother, dear brother
Listen when I say
I will stick by your side
Until this goes away
Brother, dear brother
Listen when I say
I will stick by your side
Until our final day

Crazy.I.Am
Yes, I am THAT kid...
The crazy kid...
The kid who says whatever they want
Without thought to anyone
Get in my way,
I'll spit on your shoe!
There's nothing I care about when it comes to you...
Or is there?
Because behind every person there is a soul
And some of us are leaders,
And some of us are lost
Me?
I'm a lost leader!
Leading others into lost with me,
Like getting lost is the new trend
Don't know who you are?
No ambition?
That's cool.
Because that seems to be the 'in' thing these days...
Getting lost...
It's cool
Cool to be stupid, cool to be confused,
Cool to look to something outside yourself
Something else to abuse
Something to set. you. straight.
To make your head EXPLODE!
Cause that's what it's all about.
Making the next big bang
Without no one seeing it
Then crying how no one notices you
You know what you do then?
Ask for a pill
Go ahead.
Ask.
They're everywhere!
You can't stop in the street
Without a pill beneath your feet
Or a heart that doesn't beat
With a medicated meat
So desert your dreams
Let go of ambition
To become lost and crazy
Is today's only mission

Crying's a Messy Business When Not Done Often Enough
Stinging eyes wraught forth with tears
Tightened throat where no air nears
Though my chest was heaving and my throat was sore
Twas a pain I'd borne ten times before
Reddened cheeks and inflamed eyes
Stuffy nose and muffled cries
Though my face was sad and my heart was tore
Twas a pain I'd borne ten times before
Beating myself for ignorance lost
Hating myself for innocence cost
Where once was light there is no more
Twas a pain I'd borne ten times before
Lost my faith and gained all doubt
Certain things I'd rather live without
Though to anyone else it would be hard to ignore
Twas a pain I'd borne ten times before

A Question In The Male Genetics
What is it...
About the Y chromosome?
I've always wondered...
Are these good-hearted, sweet-natured males of our species
Only dominated by their X chromosome?
Are they the X males?
(Don't say X men...that makes you retarded.)
Are they just ignorant of that gene that makes them...
Well...
An example to elaborate...
I have a friend who is not me
I have a friend others can see
She is pretty as can be
And to the truth she's quite lucky
She has a guy who loves her so
She has a man who won't let go
You see this guy he can't say no
He picks her up when she is low
And all these guys they love to stare
Ask her for pics in her underwear
She tries to pretend she don't care
But 'leave me be' is her only prayer
She tells me, tells me she knows it's bad
All this attention makes her sad
It's the wrong kind, but it's all she's had
And these past days, it's made her mad
Frustrated, angry, overstressed,
Overwhelmed, sad, and depressed
She's all confused and her life's messed
But underneath, she knows she's blessed
Because as everyone can tell
She loves a man who treats her well
He's more than words, that's why she fell
And all is gone that once was hell
So now it leads to wondering why...
What is it about this chromosome Y?
What makes the male act this way?
Is it genes, or something else?
I've always wondered...
