the master of the universe takes US history(II)
by Cymbre DolphayIf your clothes are all you are
I'd hate to see you as a nudist
because you can't handle yourself
the decisions you think you make
are never for yourself
they are for everyone
you've ever wanted to impress
If I were stuck in your skin
I would loathe myself
but myself would not really be
nothing of my character
would be truly mine
That's why you are so transparent
you don't know what you are
you know what is popular
but the popular never lasts
so never presume to say
that you have taste
because as I see you
your tongue is always numb 01/30/2003 Author's Note: and today they were just being obnoxious...

I love your imagery, the way you weave words. The subject here is mundane, we've all experienced it; but you weave your words so well, it is like a new, deeper look
love it, thanks |
