IV of XXX

how i can tell him to just grow up
be strong
ignore the pain

how i am supposed tell him
that a kevlar vest will protect his chest
from the sticks and stones
but also weigh him down
(let's hope he never tries to walk on water)

how do i explain to him
that we're not as advanced
as we think we are
that despite the high tech weaponry
we're still just throwing stones
sheltering hearts of glass
triceps tattooed in sins

how do i find the words to convey
that his childhood is just dress rehearsal
for a sitcom society
where everyone is still laughing
but ain't shit funny

and yet how do i tell him that his sensitivity...
suffering sling and arrow
shirt practically ripped open
to reveal a capital S for his soul
is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

how do i tell him
to just toughen up kid

Final Escape

you always want me to be a part of you you always taught me to be alive with you this is the time and the place and the moment feeling the way that i do these are the signs and the traces of growing by living the way that i do i hope you understand and acknowledge all that's passing through it's constantly been there and throwing all that wasn't good i hope we both find the place where maybe some day we will find our strength and hopefully attain to finally escape i'm always amazed how we're so self destructive does any body know why? find the Light -elsiane, "final escape" Love this song (I've been playing it out) and this band.

Surprise, Surprise!

Oh, certain people from the past are picking the wrong time to be cute. You may have thought you “dodged a bullet” but I know I dodged a freight train strapped to a hurricane. Honestly, I didn’t know there was something that was the opposite of a Muse until I met you. So, you always wanted a poem, it’s on its way. I just hope your dodging skills are still sharp because there will be (metaphorical) shots fired and honey, this is the Matrix, and I’m happy to say, you’re not the one.   ►http://bit.ly/2cHNraW ♥ http://bekonstant.com/
I fear my that digestive tract has gone in reverse and that my stomach has been unknowingly gnawing at my soul, swallowing it out my mouth and into the world where it is broken down by acid rains and flushed into the depths of the ocean to be nibbled on by tiny blue fish and yellow crabs. <|3
