WARNING:
Everyone remain indoors;
this is an EPIDEMIC.
(Ring around the rosie,
a pocket full of posies.
ashes,
ashes,
we
all
f a l l
down.)
feed the monster,
he's there across the bridge
waiting just for you,
and if you close your eyes,
you can imagine that he won't eat you alive.
feed the darkness,
she's there inside your heart,
singing:
thumpity thump thump
dripity
drip
drip,
sing the children lullabies,
and then we bleed them dry!
(Ring around the high school,
a pocket full of handguns.
bangbang,
bangbang,
we
all
f a l l
down.)
the murdered family's funeral is today,
but no one's brave enough to attend.
(We burned our prayer books
and cooked them all alive,
now we're burning our last hope,
because we have to keep warm)
WARNING:
Watch out for infected travelers!
(There's no cure! There's no escape!
Get out while you still can!
They're gonna bomb the city!!)
(Ring around the no man's land,
a pocket full of hand grenades.
explosion,
extinction,
we

They're selling masks covered in tears,
but more importantly,
they're selling mirrors and lipstick,
boob jobs
and enhancement,
a sun kissed tan,
and a pair of smiling blue eyes,
and the perfect song to spit at those pesky
non-conformists:
Ring around the artery,
a pocket full of vanity.
conformity,
(conform with me!)
you

We are the illness.

You will never be strong enough,
you will never be good enough, you were never conceived in love, you will not rise above. Somebody tell me what made us all believe you I should've known all along it was all a lie. xx Another statement on conformity. This was an English assignment in which I had to cut words out of a newspaper and stick them together to write this poem. The original was bad, so I rewrote it. xD Hope you like.  xxx EDIT: WOW, what an amazing response to this poem! Thank you so much everyone. It really means the world to me.  |

It's odd to look back on time and see how much you change but it's stranger when you look out towards the future and know you'll continue to change..but into what?

"This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper."
"I thought it would be nice to lie down and close my eyes. It never occurred to me that I am already asleep."
