Making Change


We were picky children, bratty as hell
Though we thought ourselves divine
When our pennies failed to preform
We cashed them in for dimes.
They were melted down and put away
In a solid chunk of time.
Saved for the rainy day we learned
How to grow to proper size.

The monster at the end of this book.


 I hate diaries. I hate them more than I hate anything. Why? Because everything has to be chronological and neat, placed precisely in the correct order. It's the opposite of the inside of my head, which is a disaster zone (trust me). What is this then? A random document I opened up on my computer to spill my heart and soul into when no one else will listen to me? Well, that's exactly what it is. I give no guarantees as to content or accuracy, and I will do all that I can to establish myself as an untrustworthy narrator. My inconsistencies will blind you to believing my every word, and the less that you trust me, the more you will love me and want to believe my lies as truth. Or perhaps it is the truth. Perhaps I'm just being modest, because I want you to seek your own answers, but I'm really telling you everything image for image, exactly as it happened. You decide.  

All The Good Girls


He saunters down the hall
With that heinous, charming glow
He cradles his unsafe gun
Because a touch can make it blow
While unfailing and stealthy
With the flattery he throws
He passes over all the good girls
And the parts they never show

I'll be bound forever
No matter what he does to me
For the way that he seduces,
The way that he retreats,
And the crocodile tears
Pouring from tales of disease
Lamenting all the good girls
And how fragile they all seem

He rips out flowers by the roots
Even though we'd rather grow
And after he ate my heart
He left me in the undertow
But when his feet bring him back
And there's mutany down below
I spare a thought for all the good girls
And the pain they'll never know

For all his poorly written lies
I still accept the apology
Because no  matter where he goes
I'm still swallowed in the sea
I hope I'll someday drown
Because I know I'll never breathe
And I pray for all the good girls
I hope they'll never be
Me.
