Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Prompt line was dying to be thing (: Hope you enjoy it!

----
Dying to be thin
Dying to change
Dying to be perfect
Dying to thrive
All the same
Heart wrenching
Brain numbing
Wrist aching
Iron fists of glory
Our frail paper hearts
Simply cannot
Maintain
Dying to be loved
Dying to have faith
Dying to end it all
Dying to transform
Chewed by repition
Left swollen on the tongue
Words broken
But fierce
The bitter taste
Lingers like symphonies
What do we call
Failure in its
Fantasized form
Dying to possess
Dying to succeed
Dying to make a difference
Dying to be unique
Bullet casings scatter
Across satin skies
And we can count them
One by one by one
Till the memory
Fades, Polaroids
Of the once-was
Sinking fast past
Better judgement
Wishing on stars
Dancing in moonlight
For our hearts to rise
Dying for help
Dying for happiness
Dying for everything
Or nothing at all
