Heaven is not what white-robed Christians preach,
it comes in the form of the Beach.
Where red torii stalwart stand sans fear,
And diamonds dance in the sea,
Please lover bury me here,
Near Niigata-shi
Heaven is not what white-robed Christians preach,

Waves softly serenade the rocks,
The sun seductively catches my eye,
Boats slowly approach; to dock,
Within the expanse of virgin sky.

Fear of death shall be allayed,

My senses are in shotgun collage,
Nerves tangled up; live-wire camouflage.
There's no bomb, you must have misread--
It's only in my head.
I keep picking at frayed straw-brush hair,
Have the bags under my eyes started to care?
Pupils at a thousand-yard stall,
My mind is playing at slideshow crawl.
If you lit one up to mend sleepless seams,
Freud wouldn't mind, he likes Mary Jane dreams.
OH! Goddamn neuroses in a forest fire!
Keep me at bay until I've had my say!
I'm TIRED!

It was all the same to Michiko Shiro.
You cracked a smile, opened your oh-so-dazzling eyes, and fed the audience a cheesy line. And then you played as best as you could after god-knows-how-many drinks. You'd have to sing, of course. Make sure you didn't slur anything. Make sure you didn't break down into a crying wreck, either. Then you'd do an encore, and do a phony sort of wave. Then you'd wake up tomorrow and do it all over again, maybe just a tad more drunk than last time. But hey, you got paid. And the more money you had, the more drinks you could buy.
That was probably the job's only saving grace.

Mummy and Daddy talk nothing but lies,
can't you hear your soul wilting as you utter bored sighs?
You lost, stupid thing, we'll take care of you,
for we know a place where you'll have great fun, too!
My disfigured features?
Why, you shall never stumble upon an uglier creature...
We'll be the carriage and you be the horse,
a mite bit of whipping won't do you for the worse.
Those cries in the darkness are children in pain,
a fate you might share if you refuse to play the game.
Now come, we'll be the carriage and you be the horse,
a mite bit of whipping won't do you for the worse.
Ah, look, other children just like you!
Truly, they'

March 4, A.D. 1857
House of Fortescue,
English Countryside
"Cigarette, my Lady?" the blank-eyed butler asked, the usual greeting in the House of Fortescue.
She muttered a string of curses under her breath. Staring into his eyes, white and devoid of any pupils, she answered, "No, my friend, and if you could kindly kill yourself, I would appreciate it."
"Of course, my Lady, and what exact method shall I use to end my existence?" he asked.
"Drowning yourself would be a good idea." Spike suggested, rather innocently. Marjorie sank into the rosewood side chair, "Just do as he says, please." she muttered, head in hands.

The Deadliest Sin...
Lying on the floor in star-studded nights,
creativity lost from the mind's sights,
seven seas of crumpled papers, drowning their Writer,
burdens and deadlines passing right by her.
She stares at the sky in profound, stupefied silence,
the one spark, idea, torn away by mental violence,
her believers wade away.
She screams for them to stay,
pleading in desperation to refrain from wandering astray,
but not a single soul can hear the victim,
for she is now swallowed by failed, faux wisdom,
in that paper maw, seething of sloth,
choking on india ink, forever lost.
Away, away from those star-studded nights.
So, recently I have been in a lot of pain, both mentally and physically.
I already have a pretty weak stomach, so it didn't help when I got sick. Eating became more of a painful chore rather than something
to actually enjoy. Then, I've been so overworked and depressed that I got a stress-related illness that ended up--in
my stomach, which made things even more painful for me. It did not help that people were making fun of me while I
was sick.
I've been fairly sad, lately. About my future and all. I feel kind of worthless sometimes. I'm getting better,
but...I dunno, I'm just kinda sad. That's all.
I feel like I need to take a break, b
Eh, sorry I haven't been on much. Expect much of that in the future.
I'm pretty overworked these days. Again, I apologize for the delay, I'm working on poetry and writing when I can. Just a short notice, I don't have much time to type all of what I wanna say out....
