You may not respond to your own post.

I'll go first,

Biological
Their processes continue
If only to die

-Frederyk

 

If only to die
then why do we live at all
perhaps just to dream

 

Perhaps just to dream
Upon this cloud of embrace
Here, swiftly falling

 

Here, swiftly falling
up into the sky we go.
Is this fun, or what?

 

Is this fun, or what
That he did say to a her
She cried and nodded

 

she cried and nodded
knowing that it had to be
goldfish down the drain

 

Goldfish down the drain
Endless opportunity
Just around the bend

 

Just around the bend
Lay new opportunity.
Will you be ready?

 

Will you be ready?
When our time of testing comes
We must persevere

 

We must persevere
Pain is only in the flesh
Freedom, in the soul

 

small dandelion
sitting by a perfect rose
feels small and unloved

 

feels small and unloved
this child of mine, some food
would do better now

 

would do better now
she said as she looked at her
reflection, in pain

 

reflection, in pain
sorrow seems to be the aim
happiness is vain

 

Happiness is vain
Self-absorption feeds the jaws
Tasting our demise

 

Tasting our demise
we decide on tempura.
The crunch of sweet life.

 

the crunch of sweet life,
uterine vomit cries out
family no more

 

"Family, no more!"
Is the Amazon's war cry.
Her bow brings swift death.

 

her bow brings swift death
yet I will not fear passion
better dead than bored

 

better dead than bored
at least I have been told
as my fate unfolds

 

As my fate unfolds
Your life is doomed to end
In eternal hell

 

in eternal hell
you would not recognize me
or would not care to

 

Or would care not to
Spare a merciful glance at
My pitiful self

 

My pitiful self
invisible to noone
I need to hide scars

 

I need to hide scars
so that I forget the pain
and remember love
