Standing here today,

I wish reality,

Would go away.

Always on the go,

Nobody I know.

I'm shook to the core,

Say no more,

Life isn't an open door.

Temporary home,

Lost and alone.

Stop playing games,

It's all the same.

Why me?

Leave me be,

And set me free.

This is a poem talking about the reality part of life and when we want it to go away sometimes it feels like it's attached to us.

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)

"Upon his bench the pieces lay
As if an artwork on display
Of gears and hands
And wire-thin bands
That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]
