Maybe tomorrow. Let's do it tomorrow.

No. Not tomorrow, nothing ever gets done tomorrow.

Then how about today? I don't want to do it today, but I will if you want me to.

Don't bother, nobody ever notices what happens today.

Okay.... Then what about yesterday? What if I did it yesterday?

Perfect. Everything that ever happened, anything that ever happened in all the world, it all happened yesterday.

Yesterday?

Yesterday. Do it yesterday.

A Writing Lesson

'Do you love me?' She asked, fluttering her long eyelashes.... The teacher slammed his fist down on the table, 'No! That will not do, it's too cliché, too teenage. It won't grab my attention and it won't catch anyone else's.' 'Fine,' He picked up a pen, scratched out his first sentence, and wrote something else, 'That better?' 'Do you hate me?' She asked, fluttering her long eyelashes... 'Much better,' nodded the teacher, 'But how are you going to follow that?' The student looked up at his teacher, sarcasm scratched into his expression, 'How about with 'Yes'?' Rolling his eyes, Sir snorted, 'Am I wasted on you Thompson?

A Child Again

I wish I could be a child again. Where all I had to worry about Were skinned knees And cooties from boys. I wish I would be a child again. Where boys ran away from girls And no one lied. I wish I could be a child again. Where parents were devoted In every part of my life. I wish I could be a child again. When there was recess, And fun and games. I want to be a child again. I want the child meant wonder. I want the never ending hope. I want loyalty. I want simplicity. I want to be a child again. I want my innocence back. I want to not have to worry. I want grades that don't matter I want time outs to be the worse punishme

Vengeance

"What did she say this time?" "How did you-" "It's always your mother, and I always know. Now tell me." "…" "I'm not going to ask you again. Just tell me." "She…said that I can't draw. I can't sing. I can't act. I can't do anything and I never shall- You're laughing." "I'm sorry. Certain phrases make me want to laugh. 'I can't' is one of them." "I'm glad you find my grief so amusing." "Look, you need to understand something. The word 'can't' is going to follow you around for the rest of your life. History is filled with people who were told they 'can't' do something. You know what makes them special?" "What?" "They did it

Odd times

Things aren't always what they seem Take the dice and shake it twice Come on come on Let life roll to pieces It may seem odd But you are strange Time ticks to the sound of my heart As you wave your goodbyes Forever the sun was in your eyes It may seem odd But you are strange Please take my heart as you take my hand Don't pick the dice up Cause this ain't a gamble Just one blow and we're gone It may seem odd But you are strange Take a wink and a kiss I guess this is goodbye

She Talks With Monsters

This girl never had a fear of monsters. She allowed them to rest on the insides of her eyelids, the crook of her neck, the empty spaces of her chest cavity. She had no fear, there were much scarier things in this world than darkness, clawing at her back. Living for the night she etched her dreams upon the bars of her cage whispering of centuries past because she truly missed the sun, grass on her back. Frosty Decembers have her forgetting what it feels like to love, but she knows who she is— she doesn't need the taste of cigarette ash suffocating her inside her own flesh. November skies tore open this night, ripping a hole i

Raoul's Death

All Christine could do was stand there, watching in horror as her beloved fiancé and demented tutour locked blades. She couldn't live with another grave before her. She just couldn't. In no time, Raoul was at the Phantom's mercy. He pleaded, oh how he pleaded, but to no effect. The Phantom plunged his blade through him, and kept doing it over and over again. Christine could glimpse a river of scarlett spraying on Erik's face. Now it truly was distorted. Every emotion she had felt before left her. She was left limp, pale, dead. Tears, very warm tears, trickled down her cheeks, but she couldn't feel them. She had nothing left to

How To Be Normal

HOW TO SUCCEED AT BEING A NORMAL TEENAGER: (In 15 easy steps!) 1. The first step in becoming a normal, bland, and spineless individual is very simple. Never think. About anything. Ever. If you have a thought, let it go. Let someone else think for you. Thinking is hard. Let someone else do it. Save your little conformist brain cells for something less difficult. 2. Now let's talk about music. You like unique music? Not anymore! You get to listen to the same generic, repetitive sound that everyone else does. You know, that one beat over and over with the words "Yeah", "baby" and "ooh" being repeated. Lucky you! 3. To be normal, you've gotta

Lovesick Fool

I was not in love Love is for fools I hate the word I haven’t seen you in years And dare I admit, I miss you I’ve downed bottle after bottle, Taken pill after pill, I still can’t sleep I can’t stand waking up Without you here, yet, I still look for you I search everywhere But you are nowhere to be found I think I would rather be dead I never thought you’d leave me alone You still haunt me here I see you everywhere but I can’t ever find you And I don’t know why but I feel like a lovesick fool Without the love

Too Late

The ceiling above, And walls around. The ground below, And nothing more. But it's far too loud. The room sways And sits. In its center lays a figure, A figure nothing more but A shell of one who has lost its view. It screams and thrashes. Aches and cries. Begs and kills. And bleeds out. But nothing happens. It is just there. Alone Lost And forgotten Forgotten by itself. For who knew him, It destroyed With nothing more But passion. Its life tumbled away, And fell six feet under ground In the body of a pretty redheaded, Green-eyed lamb And who has it to blame? No one but itself. Or rather, the body of him. He who cared so much, He car

I once was a galaxy~ A Poem

I once was a galaxy, But then I fell from the sky, I landed on the ground, And I tried not to cry Everybody laughed, When they saw me they would scream, They said I was an alien, And a girl caught in her dreams A few Fridays later, There were no stars in my hair, There were no nebulas in my eyes, But I couldn't really care But one fateful day, Someone saw through my lies, They saw me through a telescope, Suddenly galaxies were in my eyes From that day forward, I never gave in, I would reach for the stars, And be the best galaxy I've ever been

Ocean

My home is a warm sea Of darting rainbow scales, Bright lights And pearly laughter. My father sent me to a cold ocean Of iron blue and slate grey, Sharp claws And brooding silence. "Find yourself in the emptiness, In the bleak, roaring surf, Daughter, And then return." I fell in love with a cold ocean, Traded my blood for salt, My bones For sand and seaweed.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.
