In the Garden of Beasts Series

Alone I Die, Lest I Learn To Fly

    isolated on this lonely isle

    filthy, dirty, wretched, and vile

GRAY MATTER

    twas it a matter of conscience?

    how then twas much of me conscious?

encyclopedia of MORALS

    gone over and over and over again

    to this torment shall there be no end?

WHEN BOUNDARIES BETRAY US

    twas never meant to do harm

    must then be taken so by his charm

the year of MAGICAL THINKING

    became a score and two of its dark spell

    secretly keeping in me heart this hell

Our Game

    twas to be so innocent but of course

    yea innocence twas lost through subtle force

I NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE GARDEN

    memories forget any pledge be made

    but untold confessions of being afraid

F.I.A.S.C.O

    be tangled in this failure

    abandoned feel and out of favor

Body and Soul

    harm not one without the other

    heal not one without another

A Death of Innocence

    isolated in this lone isle

    must me thoughts and I reconcile

Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Scratched My Leg

    and you didn’t ask anymore questions

    no need to make anymore confessions

A TEAR AND A SMILE 

    shed a tear, slash a tear

    smile in relief of this nightmare

BLEEDING HEART

    cut my arm to stop the pain

    and you think I’m just insane

BEYOND THIS POINT ARE MONSTERS

    no, not hiding under my bed

    no, they abide inside my head

BLOOD WORK 

    numb, so numb, here I kneel

    carve out my pain, just want to feel

ASYLUM FOR THE QUEEN 

    nowhere is safe, you don’t understand

    it is my blood they demand

THE DETLING SECRET

    that I could never tell

    you can’t comprehend my hell

KILLER'S LAUGHTER

    they're never quiet

    but live in a perpetual riot

Helping Someone with Mental Illness

    helping? you think you’re helping?

    no, it’s just too overwhelming

STOLEN LIVES 

    stolen? is it worth getting back?

    I’ll just suffer another anxiety attack

Melondy: Issues of Adolescence Series

Nobody Loves Me  

    everybody hates me

    going to the garden to flee

HOW DO YOU FEEL? 

    why do you care?

    you’re just gonna tell me “life’s not fair”

COLD TIMES

    in the middle of summer

    but the school year’s not much better to recover

THE BLUE VALLEYS

    I walk them alone

    they say to depression I’m prone

NOW YOU KNOW

    but what do you care?

    after all, you really don’t have any real time to spare

CATCH ME WHEN I FALL

    if only there were someone there after all

    someone to hug this porcupine ball

Stop the Insanity!

    cuz I sure can’t!

    I’m drowning in this pitcher plant

JUST DON’T TELL ‘EM WHERE I AM

    hooked up to this temperamental recovery program

    cooped up like a freshwater clam

SYMPTOMS of WITHDRAWAL

    they say it’s supposed to help me

    but I still feel like a nobody
