    one thousand needles
    crippling agony; sybolised voice
    or, art for arts sake.
    Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning.

    Pierce into my skin and release these butterflies
    I've been living for this day, ironic how I have to die
    Gripped deep down, I am now frantic with this fear
    Of everything that is surfacing and I see what you hold dear

    The cast has been broken and now the words fall out dead
    but at least we can see them, we no longer have to smile
    for I see the venom leaking out of every loving word you've said
    and it has cracked my cold body, I am being demolished like tile

    Miss me when the mess is clear and you have swept away my song
    When the dust has settled around yourself understand my fear is gone
    I was weak when fear came to consume, all that's left is love i had
    living through the black butterflies who are always looking sad

    I wrote for this, it is "Poetry1" in the main forum.
    ---

    she wore Guess jeans and her lips slightly snug,
    pursed, like the pucker of a babydolls mouth;
    which could not afford silence, but questions,
    yes.

    her style was to mark every conversation
    like a bitch in heat. heavy for answer,
    always hooking jewels, sinking semi precious
    metal into skin-- as if spiking flesh
    with silver would draw admirers;
    and she might extract beads
    from their efforts at knowledge
    and imparting

    it, she called Freedom, it
    Acceptance, it.
    and she cemented herself to it, and its
    consequences-- like polish on a fingernail.

    (she was)Taken with Advice, the same way one
    would approach the makeup counter in department,
    stores
    of gossip and opinion--cliffnotes of understanding
    swarm her mind like a net of dots, unconnected.
    a community of Angry, Unconventional and Needy,
    wove accessories-- weighty bangles of prose
    and solid fabrics of critique,
    that were stolen from a dumpster;
    on a street where that one flower growing
    from cracked concrete is worshiped...
    where lonely, scared, teens are expected to be hard.
    not pale, totems of childhood
    not unread, ill socialized writers,
    trying to gain It.

    intelligence bows to emotion
    like reputation encompasses slander--she guesses
    at general concepts.
    "what is expression?"
    so that pearls
    laid out on her collar might symbolize,
    a conquered stream of conscience;
    or maybe that the dip in throat has more depth
    than it dare resonate.

    ornate musings, she draws them in English
    sometimes with illustrations
    butterflys and quivering hands
    poised to diss-member
    for Acceptance.
