---------------------
I just want to get this out, this welling in my chest. Right behind the heart and to its left if you are looking at it. I can say it's right here but you can't feel it, not my welling anyway. Makes me wonder about the saying, we are all special in our own special way. Youthfully and truthfully, it hits the spot. I want to ooze Taylor, people. I don't want to be inhibited by these walls that I so childishly(?) put up, when it's my childlike spirit I want to embrace. There is a kind of person out there who can be responsible.. in every sense of the word.. while also just being the most loveliest. Someone who you'd want to be around, someone who you'd enjoy and want, want more. Everyone needs to be loved, everyone needs attention.. we crave it, we craze for it. We go beyond thresholds that normally holds us back, we can become jealous and simply go ridiculous. You sit there and just think, "Oh the neediness of that person, it just ruffles my feathers. I certainly don't want to be like them.. but then you find yourself being that person you dissed earlier. Hypocrite much? Yes. I know I am victim of it too, we are all human after all. *wink OH! Speaking of which, I recently found out that my "more attractive wink" is my lefty. Just thought you should know. When it's with my right, I feel that it is used most when I'm being a little sarcastic and/or half-hearted. Remember, brevity is best(as I remind myself).
We must sally forth to brave new adventures
The ones we conceive through our dreams
I am mad at myself, (but)I am not mad.
I have to force myself, to do what I think is right
And I don't think that is right
I have chewed pencils to bits and spit out the pieces
I have licked my paper stick lollipops down to nothing
I have mushed and thrown stress balls into antimatter
I have done practically nothing with my life
Smoking down that funny bunny leaf
New fronts
Write to me, everything is alright
I'll be the one
Bottom's Up
It is sin, it is gun, it is FIRE!
I get these pictures within my head at the last second of every time I stare into someone's eyes and look away
It is with these simple little distorted images that etch like a stamp into my brain that I will remember you
Bur bur bur bur bur
Every time I know that they are just my own twist of life, playing tricks with my mind and my insanity because what these pictures do is tell off nothing but the biggest plan I ever had
The way I see the sun and the way that it sees me, it may be through the trees, but I believe I saw a wink. That this world full of leaves that tumble every fall, blown away by the wind and forever shall they be called again in autumn. It's this social game, the bank fine. Here you go boy with just another rhyme, your a lonely kid just looking in the mirror, stone cold the mind old but left fridge down in the bottom of my lumps where I can hold hands of dirt, wasted time, eaten leftovers at work but no more in the pity you will lurk around a corner is where finally I will come see what I am meant to be. Nothing more but a little scared boy trapped in my own sunken dreams. And every time I find myself just lying there because I don't want to move, but in my head I'm thinking I have everything to lose.. if I don't push myself, break myself, take that little initiative it takes to pull strong and prove to myself that I am not wrong.
I could be lonely, I could be free
I could be bothered, I could speak
I could be hated, I could behave
I could be laughing, not missin' a day
I could be searching, I do what I may
I could be missing, but I feel okay
It is not wallowing, when you feel left out
You're just learning, being head scout
Traveling through time is your secret gray
Impressing is not enough, with pencils you etch paint
We are all dying but in the end you will see
That it was up to us to make the stains bleed
the inverted question mark "¿" can be entered by holding down the Alt key and pressing 0191 or 168 on the number pad and the inverted exclamation mark "¡" with number pad code 0161 or 173
Another day gone by
Where I will try to find
The remains of my mind
Hiding below the light
Another day gone by
Where I will try to shine
The remains of my mind
All but stay quiet at night
The memories are
I'm halfway gone and feeling kind of lonely
Timmy, timmy, timmy
Always(?) gives it good
Like he always(?) should
An awkward(altered) stage(state) of coldness
I get to make every little face (that(I make to myself in the mirror
I'm that shirt on, socks off kind of guy.
What i.s.
What, is
Where, is land and sea
When, is an endless span
How, is directing
Why, it's personal
What, is defining
Where, is inside of me
When, is my own actuality
How, is mimicking
Why, it's sensitive
What, is this world
Where, is my reason to go
When, is this chance a to glut
What, is this world
Where, is my reason to go
When, is this chance a to glut
How, is my choice of strut
Why, I am closed shut
¡ROTATE!
Social Fire
That blows
He'll know, he knows
Hell no he won't
Refresh the show
Grow on hands and cuff the link
Come sum of them all
You lift heavy feet
Erase what is written and
Get rid of the poor
Get what was taken
And even the score
Some are up to par
But some are too slow
Just keep at it rabbit
And reward the slowpoke
Get me something thirsty baby
Because I won the war
I hold my ball and chainl
And never leave nothing on the floor
Well if he ain't in Line
And he ain't sitting in the middle
Let this boy know to grow or decline
Riddle
I see it through my hearings
I feel it beneath my creaks
I taste it at tip of tongue
I hear it watching over me
Speak
You watching over me
Watching over me
Some have their caves
Others have their oceans
I have my icehands
And you have my notions
---
Wind comes from my gut
What wear she wearing
I am glad that I am not them
I am glad that I am not you
Do you ever wonder why we had to
Come on dude
Oh come on
C.B., like C.B. radio.
Rawr!
King says, God, you are the man for me, you know my woman, let him be the best of we.
God says, King I think you are right, I feel it is best in my might, grow old he will write.
Queen says, Oh thank you sirs! I am so pleased in my light, cared for he shall then at night
Son says, I think to say I thank you first, I am so joyful to fight, code of chivalry drives my site
King says, Man it just brings tears to my eyes, as I hear this note, you bring me so much pride
I'm learning as I grow up to be more reacting rather than assuming.
To speak or not speak. This is not a question. No shit Sherlock, see the period ( . )
But that is a question.. what you just said. No it isn't. Yes it is. It was rhetorical moron. It was still a question, you were wrong. Are you keeping up? No, I am lost. When did you get lost? Back there at, "moron." --- (To end this story, Tj jumps out of the bushes and says, "Coincidence?!.. I think not!" /wagging his finger no.)
You don't talk enough, you always go so awkward. It's like you have nothing to say, but that can't be true. You think too much, you box yourself in your mind and daydream instead of living. You need to let me more. You need to show more emotion. I guarantee you that if you do that, you will exert more happiness. Good moods reciprocate with approach to your situation or "Life" as you call it. If you have a shitty attitude, you are going to be in a poopy mood. We don't want that. If we could live life as a musical, I think our world would be a much better place. It's more than a performance of art, it is an expression of your inner walls coming out. What must that feel like eh? Pretty fucking fantastic I can imagine. So would musical style lives be an improvement on how we go about our dailies now? The answer is: yes. To be able to not only connect with yourself on a propound level, but to others as well. Simply Magnificent. I hereby encourage you (points directly at your face) to sing loud and proud when the whim comes tickling your larynx. Do Et! Do Et! Do Et! You know do know that anytime three times something happens it means yes, yes? Yes. Right. Get it? "Got it" Good. Remember, brevity is best(as I remind myself).
With that said, until next time ladies and gents. I bid you ado and a fair good night. ;)

P.S. I know I can be a little stupid sometimes, not make sense sometimes, etcetera .. first I think to say I apologize, and I want you to know that I don't do it on purpose most of the time.. like 99.9998% of the time. Believe me, believe me, believe me. Gotcha again, haha, okay, /wink, end this bitch! DONE!

The End
SHUT THE FUCK Up!
Okay, gees.. dude. Lighten up.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. It's well written though, very well written.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've read it again, and I sort of know how I feel. It was the ending that got me. I really do love this piece though, it's very...you. I meant it when I said that it was very well written Taylor.
