even in the midst of summer
i can feel the chill
in the air
there can never be enough warmth
up here
under this pallid northern sun
to melt the ice within my soul
written on 07/30/2007
an unstructured identity
a world without a care
longing in the dark
the bittersweet caress of twilight
another day has brightly burned
and gone away
whilst i was fast asleep restlessly
in my dreams the monster comes
paralyzing me with fear
but when it comes closer
i know it will tell me
things i tried not to hear
i'm sure you've guessed by now
that monster is me
written on 07/30/2007
you came to me in a dream last night
i can't escape
i just can't get far enough away
i can't be me
cuz i am you
and you won't leave me alone
you won't grow up
and i was born old
displaced
lost without a trace
a nameless fear without a face
demonizing the human race
where's my place?
older to younger
am i any wiser or more free?
is it such strangeness to just be me?
you who fear me
you who hate me
hardly even know me yet seek to destroy me
fuck you and your pointless cruel charade
i won't play your game your way
slipping thru the silence in the dead of nite
is my right
i refuse to fight
