Individual

I won’t feed your ego Or sugarcoat your ills I’m a real person with my own ideals Don’t flick through my clothes And tell me what to wear Don’t scan through my pictures And tell me how to do my hair I’m not your puppet And how that makes you feel, I really don’t care….

Foe

Don’t twist the key Don’t pop the lock Don’t let her in Don’t linger in her doubt Don’t listen to her venomous words Don’t trust her rantings She’s not your friend She’s up to no good You can’t be you If you’re playing with her She’ll pull you down Drown you in her lake of…

Star Gazing
