Favorite Quote:
for a star to be born a nebula must collapse. so collapse and crumble because this is not your destruction, it is your birth.


The rules and regulations
My trials and tribulations
My scenes and speculations
Force my mind
Into a unholy yet spiritual segregation
I’m tired and torn
Beaten and worn
Alone and scorned
But I’m prepared to be reborn
My redemption
My resurrection
I Invented deception
I just abandoned
Your heart
Can’t go back to the start
Hell, who needs a heart
I broke it apart

Barbie doll
Faker than them all
High...so got quite a fall
Don’t look down they say
Don’t slip they say
Don’t trip
Don’t Miss
Don’t screw up they say
But I find a way
To fall back into my old self
I become the old me
There is no clarity
If I'm a devil
An angel
Or someone in-between
...human....

Very well written-You can really tell it comes from the heart-and the rhythm is brilliant. Interesting use of alliteration at the beginning, "The rules and regulations My trials and tribulations My scenes and speculations" I enjoyed the metaphor of 'Barbie' being a fake-just a pretty face. And when you represented good and evil with 'angel' and 'devil', and then placed yourself in the middle as 'human'-that really captures the essence of the saying that "nothing is black or white-the world is painted with the many shades of grey in between". No human is perfect, and no human is completely flawed. It's difficult to mess up, to screw up-and the people telling us to block our flaws out instead of embracing them are part of the problem. But the most important thing to remember is not to never fall-but to always get back up.
