Lioness

Lioness
January 16, 2008

Lioness's scream of rage
Swallowed by her insatiable questions
Reaches towards the Heavens
Stretches below hell
Echoing behind the eyes
Ripping at the chest

The diagnosis is shallow
Underlying pride, yet to be recognized
Struts into the present
Waiting for admission

It's difficult to discern
From the blinding sky
White hot, red twilight
Stretches of night burning to ashes
Straight to the ground

Old school has never been so fresh
Oh, where'd the time go?
Can't answer that, got somewhere to be
Never heard the name aloud
Always just there
Taken for granted
Hateithateithateit

No rhythm of soul
Garbled letters
Lack of heart
No comment, please
Missing the point
Too bleak to consider

Pathetic words
Whiplash—snap
Notfairnotfairnotfair
Maturity at the sidelines
Can wait a bit longer
Moment of weakness, my foot
Welcome to adolescence
