boring and flat demeanor
stuck into her head
with a knife
caught by her utter savior

save the flowers for me
and the thorn
to prick in my side
caught in virginal suicide
dying

i'm lost and yet i'm found
inside
i'm crying, but i'm bound
for all time
and it's so-sold-vegetation

eating my vegetables
never made me stronger
on the inside
vunerable to the touch

my brilliant impatients
and their side
conversations take hold
caught in a gossamer web
empty

i'm lost and yet i'm found
inside
i'm crying yet i'm bound
for all time
and it's so-sold-vegetation
I'm messing with a mass media mind
She flips channels without a thought
Posters of naked men line her walls
i don't look like her at all.

Bad vision doesn't bother her.
Nor does getting stares while shopping.
She diets by breaking the mirror.
why can't i be more like her?

Self-confidence cuts like a knife and it shows on her face
When she goes home her facade descends in disgrace
It's lasted for another day.
The strain put there by pretending.
why aren't i her anymore?

She stares out the window and
She knows she's got it all whenever she feels.
Sometimes I don't think she feels at all.
She gives more to life and I feel small

She kisses the boys and huddles with the girls.
Trapped inside her perfect world.
Nothing fazes or gets a reaction.
can't i have a little satisfaction?

Self-confidence cuts like a knife and it shows on her face
When she goes home her facade descends in disgrace
It's lasted for another day.
The strain put there by pretending.
why aren't i her anymore?

I wonder what she does at home.
Cuz her schoolwork is never done.
Popularity should have a price.
why don't people call me nice?

I'm messing with a mass media mindset.
A significant portion of the population cries.
When the bubble is gone, some one must carry on,
That girl with the confident face.
                      ANGER
            not giving happy endings
hidings
                                            not talking
            not giving
                                hard
          lousy lost mental pollution
          exclamation points all over

i thought about the magnitude
                                                 of hate

so desolate in you
and you're so far away
this insidious motion will die today
love me too
cuz i love you

there's really two conversations going on
looking into your eyes
i can find something to despise
at all times
cuz i love you

take me
into your darkness
when i can see the light beyond the door
take me
into your warm arms
and we'll screw the light together

when i slam my hand against you
i know you cherish that moment
when i see the red rush towards your skin
i know i cherish you

we really have nothing going on here
as i push away another fake tear
and you say the fakest three words i've heard

we're all about miscommunication now

take me into your darkness
where i can see the light byeond the door
when the light becomes
the rays around us

you're so far away
i'm so gone from here
you're so far away
i don't know what to say
I have this issue with skinny people,
where they are all arms, bones, and legs,
and there is nothing in between those arms, bones, and legs
to constitute a real person.

Maybe they should eat some fat to create mass on their bones.
To be closer to a real person.
Maybe some nice juicy red beef steak to put some nice juicy red meat on those
Bones
Those arms and legs

People are constantly writing,
Thinking,
Caring,
"Oh I wish I could be skinny like those people."
All those arms, bones, and legs

I have a different view.
That arms, bones, and legs hurt when you run into something
Knobby knees that go pop around a corner
aren't something to be desired

I enjoy my flesh, the meat between
my arms, bones, and legs
the things that give me form and substance, my ass
which cushions my injuries when i fall.
You don't see me broken,
bending in odd places and easily hurt.

I'm not all
arms, bones, and legs,
And I have a feeling I'm something better,
Self esteem will not be compromised
to those arms, bones, and legs in women's magazines.

I'm constantly writing,
Thinking,
Caring,
"If only they could be like me."
