The Road to Paradise

the never ending story that will end at some point but not right now

over and over again
imaginary friends
I'll figure it out

is it the end yet?

finish the story
it's getting boring
open the book
flip the page
tell me the ending

hello
I'm waiting!

pinch me
tell me I'm real

is this real?

smoke screen
pretty colors
float through the ceiling
lost all my feeling

gala apple
I'm so fancy
take me to the ball
I'll be dressed in my sunday best.

I'm wearing spiders
blood is my makeup
I tried really hard this time

you can't tell.

I could be powerful
but I'm still pale
breaking pencils
tell me to fail.

paint me a picture
of a white picket fence,
pretty red door
perfection.

I like the sound of screaming.
I collect butterflies-
I keep them in my body
for safekeeping.

daydreaming
of wonderland,
princess in a far off land,
when should I come back home?
probably when dinner's ready-
wouldn't want to make a scene.

alphabet soup
what happened to the letters?
maybe I'll feel better
when I fall asleep

empty stomach
damp pillow
sad songs
till slumber follows

sunshine every morning
do I have to get up?

pillow's still damp
from the years I've spent crying

but

look in my eyes
my thoughts never end
the story isn't finished
the best part hasn't happened yet
