Circles

Everything's cyclical, circular, round All you don't know has already been found In school you learn the life cycle of a frog One day you're a tadpole and the next you just slog Slog from one building into another Crawl from childhood to being a mother Drive in endless circles around one block Scared to go home, be alone, no door knocks Scared to eat the same meal without a prayer The same meal you'd request at the electric chair Scared to go back to the same circular life To be in the same room with the same old wife In circles, to sleep, wake up, and complain In circles, there is frost, and then there is rain We have 50 more cycles of summers to go 50 more times for the front lawn to mow 50 more cycles of seasons to pass 'Til we end up buried beneath the grass Nothing scares me more in this circular drone Than walking all these long circles alone http://thefineartdiner.blogspot.ca/2012/01/christinas-world-our-world.html -->

Pieces

They all want to takes pieces of me The bank won’t leave me be Neighbours won’t let me breathe Landladies calling me A fragment here, a small piece there To bosses, friends, and lovers To my pet and to my mother They all want pieces of me There’s not enough to go ‘round I hide in solace ‘til I’m found By exes, hexes, unanswered texts Cold calls, UPS guys, insurance guys Never knew it could hurt so much to cry Skeleton’s trembling and I don’t know why No more pieces to go ‘round No more of me to be shared I can barely cure my own heartache Can take the maximum I could take They say God never gives you more than you can bear But God never answered any of my prayers Fragments of me lining the street Pieces of my life on the wall, on the sheets Leaving a trail behind me as I embark On this new journey into the dark They all want to take pieces of me All I ever wanted was to be
