I was recently in Western Psych for four days. I had a lot of free time to think. Once I started feeling better, I got a great burst of creativity. Here's eight for you.
"WPIC"
a sterile smell
where beauty lies
and everything she does despise
a three armed gown
one shade of blue
they all know what she's going through
the empty feeling seems to die
she don't know why
she don't know why
gray haired addict
handicapped braids
orange light splaying through the shades
smooth dark skin
a breathing tube
we all slowly get the groove
this is it
no more getting high
to make the empty feeling die
she don't know why
she don't know why
but it's a good thing
"The Mark"
there's a mark
pink and raised
delicate
little girl's lace
there's a mark
i put in place
over bone
i'm coming home
but where is home?
i'd like to know
is it the place
my void did grow?
there's a mark
it's getting dark
i hear the hum
oblivion
"A Good Burn" or "Getting Better"
white noise of the song machine
transmissions in my sad head
there's a light cracking through
some brain dead freak
uncomfortable chairs
that light peeking through is you
my head still aches
it's getting better everyday
sometimes i get scared of progress
what can i blame my failure on today!
sick of technology
running between my ears
it pierces and distorts the truth
electro convulsions are the beer
it's a psycho proof
then the break through starts to come
it's gonna be okay
sometime i'll learn my way
until then sickly smoke will rise
and burn into my mind
"Triazdam"
there's a fire in my heart
there's a fire in my mind
there's a fire in my calves
waiting for the dose
waiting for the dose
there's some crazy pacing 'round
but it doesn't make a sound
and i'm ready to head on down
waiting for the dose
waiting for the dose
my apathy meets the empathy
on the pale translucent skin
my eyes minuscule dots
the color of mossy rocks
the milky white remains
stopped turning this girl on
but that feeling's coming on
damn it's strong
there's a fire in my heart
there's a fire in my mind
there's a fire in my smile
waiting for the dose
More soon.
