Scattered Thoughts

Did you know that all your bad thoughts are crushed into pulp bits and then stored in your pocket?
And when they become too heavy you feel them weighing you down and you want to scream, because those bad thoughts are quite...intense. I was outside and there was a storm blowing, there was snow snowing and the pulp bits in my pocket grew hands and feet and turned into little ash monsters. They climbed onto my shoulders (one on each side). The gust disassembled them into a million bits and they got blown away with the snow. All those bad thoughts, they sang in the sky:

I USED TO THINK THAT SWEET LOVE WAS LIKE APPLE PIE
YOU DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOOD IT WAS UNTIL YOU'VE TRIED
THEN YOU STUFFED YOUR FACE WITH IT AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHY
THE CRUMBS STUCK TO YOUR CHIN AND YOU SAID GOOD-BYE

I USED TO THINK THAT HAPPINESS WAS THE BIG OH OH
NOW I'M TERRIFIED OF THE DEMONS THAT LINGER BELOW
CAUSE EVERYTHING I FELT WAS LESS THAN SO SO
NOW I WANT TO DISAPPEAR INTO THE ROLLING WET SNOW

I AM HIDEOUS AND SELF CENTERED AND VAIN
EVERYONE SEES ME AS A BITCH ON A CHAIN
I SWEAR TO ALL THE GODS OUT THERE THAT I HAVE A BRAIN
MAYBE YOU'D SEE IT IF MY SKULL WAS UNDER A TRAIN

MY LIFE IS A VODKA BOTTLE FILLED WITH POISONOUS GAS
I'M SO WEAK THAT I GET PAPER CUTS FROM THE GLASS
IT'S BEEN ELEVEN YEARS SINCE I'VE SMILED DURING MASS
NOTE TO SELF TELL THE PRIEST THAT I CALLED MY FRIEND AN ASS

DISSECT ME LIKE A FROG ON A CORK BOARD, JUST DO IT
THIGHS OPEN WIDE, DEAD INSIDE, C'MON DOOO IT!
FROG'S LEGS ARE GOOD C'MON TASTE IT AND CHEW IT
YOU'RE INTO DEAD FROGS, YOU FREAK, YEAH I KNEW IT

WHY DO YOU HATE ME, WHAT HAVE I DONE
AM I YOUR MILLIONTH OR AM I THE ONE
I TRY TO THINK OF FUN TIMES BUT I HAVE NONE
I'M EIGHTEEN FOR GOD'S SAKE LIFE'S JUST BEGUN

YES I USED TO THINK THAT HAPPINESS WAS THE BIG OH OH
LIKE APPLE PIE I WOULD SAVOUR IT AND CHEW IT REAL SLOW
BUT I'M JUST AN EMPTY VODKA BOTTLE WITH NOWHERE TO GO
A BRAIN ON A TRAIN WITH NOTHING TO SHOW

Women: Living Contradictions

What does society want? For women to achieve impossible standards (and, by the way, it is NOT possible to achieve something that is impossible). Society wants us to be living contradictions...cabbage heads on stilts... airhead rocket scientists. Society wants us to be things that don't even exist in fiction, but only in the glossy pages of a Cosmopolitan magazine (look at me! I'm so skinny! So happy! Sexy all the time!). As I heard said many times before, "even Victoria's Secret models don't look like Victoria's Secret models." The way the proportions are warped, each pimple bleached, each hair trimmed down to pre-pubescence, toes and fingers without a scar, and the face angelic and so happy... it makes me sick. It makes me sick because of the contradictions, because women are expected to: Be sexy but not slutty Be innocent but not prude Be virgins but also fantastic lovers Be independent but submissive Be good mothers but maintain careers Be...

The Flood

Sometimes I feel like My insides are flooding Threatening to spill out And clog glutters in the street With all my unsatisfied ambition Sometimes I want to drown In a soup of grey water To just forget it all And become one with the tunnels, Streets, and people of the city Their shoes tracking dirt From one train station to the next Let the rain water drain it all Cleanse it all The grief and the dissatisfaction The mundanity and the boredom Of the occassional commute Let the flood take me Take us To a train station that hasn't been built yet On tracks that don't yet exist Far, far away In the meadows Where the soil can finally soak up All the grey unwanted rain

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...
