A Hopeless Romantic

Let's fall so hopelessly in love that we forget our names
Let's dance in the bliss of ignorance so no two days will be the same
I've been feeling like a schoolgirl lately and my skirt's above the knees
Just to see you turn your head around one hundred eighty degrees
I've been swooning like a desperate widow lately and I'm breaking down
I've been scanning all the faces hoping that I'll see you around
I've been smiling at my cell phone and flirting with the sky
I've been acting like a madman and you are the reason why
Please let's sit just a little closer so I can hold your hand
'Cause then you'll fall in love with me if all does go as planned
And once you've fallen in love with me there is no going back
I will hoist you on a train ride and we'll be going down the track
I hope that you will let me peel your clothes off to the floor
I hope your lips taste as good as they look, or maybe even more
I want the smell of your cologne to seep into my vein
So when I get a paper cut, your scent will ease the pain
I want to memorize your eyes and cocky sideways grin
I want to kiss and overanalyze every square inch of your skin
Judging by our heartbeats, we were simply meant to be
Come close, breathe my air; be a hopeless romantic like me

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...
