41. Thank Goodness It's Friday

SCHOOL has pretty much driven me insane this past week! The huge history project that took me forever to complete, my internet breaking down the day before the damn thing was due, lots of procrastinating, my cross country competition cancelled, failing my French test...the list of shitty things that went on this week just keeps on going and going...! Not to mention the fun little incident today- a bunch of bastards put toilet paper on fire in the boy's washroom, and the fire alarm rang. This was followed by a series of unfortunate events, including the fact that we missed our lunch period, instead, we stood outside in the October coldness, me wearing a skirt of course, just my luck. To make matters as bad as humanly possible, it started spitting, then pouring, and we were all rushed around the field and muddy outdoors. When the school was safe again, it was like- 12:45...and we finally had lunch....JOY. Thank God it's Friday.


Wake up in the morning, take a shower, feel alive
Only school can truly wreck your jolly cheerful vibe

Once you barge in through those doors and hear the first bell ring
Hysteria floods your blodstream and you panic about everything

The incomplete French homework, the long route to your second class
Unable to concentrate on the chalkboard when the guy behind you is being an ass

What about the huge history assignment that is due the very next day
You know you haven't started, procrastination really pays

I try my hardest, I slaughter my brain
Copying down notes, going insane

Hand's in a wreck, head's in a twist
Soon it will be spinning 'round like the exorcist

Top it all off with a couple bad grades
And you've got pure anxiety ready and made

Cause receiving a 50% on a test is like sticking a cactus into your eye
Watching my so-boring life so quickly pass me by...

Happiness is Pink Jellybeans

Happiness is jumping in a pool of pink jellybeans Feeling the cool candy on my skin Happiness is enjoying the pleasures of life Without worrying about confessing my sins Whoever said that we are gluttons For biting juicy pears on the beach Must never have felt the sand in their toes They must have placed their own soul out of reach And what about greed? It's not all that bad To bury a pile of chestnuts for the spring All animals do it, so why shouldn't we? If it's greedy to love yourself, let it be Lust is the one that makes pastors blush Yet it's one of the greatest joys in the body A kiss and a dance, laughter and romance Why did we ever label this happiness as naughty? Have you ever seen a cat sad when it naps? It is okay to sometimes be lazy The body needs rest as does the mind Or the world will set fire from the crazy If happiness is a sin, then let me smile in hell Looking up at the do-gooders above For to live is to err, to cry, and to sing Happiness is pink jell...

Lost in Rio

Jesus looks over The lost souls and bones below In the jungle sun To witness such beauty And such devastation God painted with one brushstroke Merry men sing Holes in their shoes The dark night lit up By police sirens And the crescent moon Bats flail around Like me, lost in the jungle Eyes glaring all around I hope they're monkeys Or jaguars I hope I can keep a piece of This country with me Safe in my pocket It smells like tropical rain And feels like The clam shells Washed up on the shore It tastes like fried bananas And heavily salted steak Sounds like seabirds cawing Samba on the streets And looks like a page From a storybook About parrots and palm trees Of finding a golden treasure A magnificent, uneasy place When she sun goes down So do we Leaving the night  To the creepy crawlers And innocent stray cats

I See the Fire

Every time I close my eyes, I see the fire That aches where you burned me last I am a woman of the earth and the cool soil Where life ferments and earthworms roam I can't survive the lava that pulses beneath The crust of this beautiful land Yellow dandelions piercing the grass Emerald pockmarked with gold I wish sometimes that I wasn't a woman of the earth I wish that I were stronger I wish that my bones were made of steel And my heart of flame So that I wouldn't fall apart at every Crude remark, every Light tug, every Covert attack That rolls off the back of a fire-woman Instead, my skin is transluscent  Like the morning dew  My muscles pieced together With tree sap and mushrooms What's an earth-woman to do In a world engulfed by fire? But root herself firmly to one place Grow a network of twisting underground limbs And create a stable home To escape the chaos of this world
