‘Feel sick and dirty,
More dead than alive…’
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
‘Feel sick and dirty,
More dead than alive…’
‘You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I’ll ask for the sea…’
‘Hold me in your arms…
I wanna be your only possession’
‘And if all this world’s a cake
Then you took too big a slice’
‘Cause on you my tattoo will be bleeding
and the name will stain…‘
‘Now that I know that I’m breaking to pieces
I’ll pull out my heart and I’ll feed it to anyone’
I wake up one morning
and I’ll look at the wind
and I’ll see a song and music
Though I’ll feel nothing
and hear no tune
I’ll look behind me
and see poetry
– Anon
‘More than this
You know there’s nothing…’
“Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind carries me across the sky.”
— Ojibwe saying
‘Whatever I do to make it real
It’s never enough…’
‘Hope my body gets better
Do I mean my body or my mind…’
‘If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you’
‘I’ll face it with a grin
I’m never giving in
On with the show…’
‘So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies…’
‘Let your feelings slip boy
But never your mask boy’
'The reed used to like the rain...
... But that was merely her selfishness'
‘You’re the shit and I’m knee deep in it…’
‘Say the things we used to say
And make the world go away…’
‘Stop dreaming of the quiet life
’cause it’s the one we’ll never know…’
‘I really can’t help it.
It’s either this,
Or prison.’
‘How many times I’ve saved myself…’
