What Isn't Said (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 7

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words
And sometimes it's easier to hear you when you say nothing at all
Words lie
Silence is the truth
And sometimes I understand you better on mute

Cold stares and unsure thoughts
It's all revealed when not a word is spoken
Working tongues are evil
Hearing nothing is hard
But I'd rather be set free than imprisoned and barred

Silence is golden
That's never been more true
The sound of lips coming apart can tear
Closed mouths can open hearts
Don't worry if you see me coming apart

Because it's better to be released by the truth
Than to go on believing in a lie
Tongues with all their sounds are overrated
So I'll bathe in your silence
And remember that moments like these are timeless

    Sometimes people do reveal a lot in their body language.
    Mine mostly reveals that I'm kind of uncomfortable around other people. I'm much better in print than I am in real life!

      Same here. I can hold a conversation online easily...in person is a whole different story. I'm usually cringing with anxiety for it to be over.

Uninspired (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 14

Image
Completely uninspired Not really sure what I aspire Draw inspiration from "here" But the wheels aren't cranking or turning I stare blankly, trying to think of something clever to say Nothing comes to mind The quotes don't ignite a spark They don't hit a mark So I sit and wait for something to come to me... Waiting, waiting, waiting Nothing. Wanted to say something about a battle But it all seems overused So it looks like I got nothing Wait a minute! Hey! I just got inspired by being uninspired I guess that's it for today...

Lonely, Stupid Girl

Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl He'll never love you the way you love him He'll never get that gleam in his eye And he'll never be excited to see you the way you want Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl You're too dumb to notice Too lonely to care But he'll never understand what you feel Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl He'll always tell you, you think too much Because his mind doesn't hold the capacity yours does It just isn't the same for him Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl Walk away and love someone new Someone who will love you the way you give love Someone who will understand that light that turns on every time you see them Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl Life is unfair and so is love He's too blinded by his actions to understand how you feel You have love too big for him to grasp Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl Take this letter as a word of advice You deserve better You have a heart too big for him to feel Dear Lonely, Stupid Girl ...

Press Stardom (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 17

It's like everything we do is for everyone to see We might as well just film it and make a movie Put it in the cinemas in 2D and 3D Because we can't get a moment of peace They're like paparazzi gaping through the cracks of our home Even with the lights off we're never fully alone  So we put on our shiny smiles made out of chrome And pull out the stitches when no one's looking, that was tightly sewn Only because we're not allowed to crack We can't take that chance unless they turn their backs Why won't they all just go away, take their bags and pack? Maybe then we can continue where we left, get back on track Camera smiles and red carpet attire Come on baby, let's sell it to the highest buyer We made it this far, straight through the wire Don't let them know we're burning in the fire Because there's nothing more that they'll love than a juicy story Let's make this look good no matter how m...
