Eggshells
Emotions are competing for my attention
My emotions compete for attention
I, the emperor, watch closely
Anger like a gladiator pulls out a sword of irate frustration and a small wooden shield, and becomes defensive, Who will be the next contender
A line of unique and colorful characters crowd the entrance, all except fear and panic, who are clawing at the walls of my mind's coleseum.
Courage is eager and Optimistic but he was over confident and forgot his weapons
Anger struggles to hide its impatience.
"Is anyone gonna make a move?" It snarled.
Procrastination yells "I'll fight ya last? Maybe tomorrow"
Anger roars
"Yeah you are really looking scary anger", sarcasm cracks one, although he is secretly guarded and unsure of the outcome of today..
The veins on anger's forehead throb in agony and his wrath is soon to overtake my next move...
Meanwhile in my kitchen I am torn over what I'm going to make for dinner, the dishes are all dirty and a can of old corn is the least appetizing thing on the menu
Hunger finally emerges, collaborating with creativity and resourcefulness to scavenge some eggs from the fridge and quickly prompting motivation to wash the frying pan
I'm going to have a omelette
How to tell if you are dead
How to tell if you are dead
Beside yourself
A torso is doubled
Halved into the troubled
Your breath is mildly cold
Spears of ice now peirce the air
As they all see you're no longer there
Or here, or what you call nowhere
No thoughts to share, or dimes to spare
You can't deny
A sight so glum
Won't darken the hearts of innocence
One could not buy
A colder shoulder
And you cope with acceptance
What's gone is still
within the echoes
Admit that you're now past tense
Your time is gone
The breath of a shadow
No longer follows you
You wait till dawn
When the mist is shallow
And solace slowly swallows you

When In Doubt by JRC
When In Doubt
I sift my toes into the sand
The sea's breeze tickles
I take a sip of iced tea and
I feel a drop of sweat trickle
But I am at no beach
I enter a revolving door
The cool air lets my body breathe
Elevator to the highest floor
My heartbeat gains some speed
But I am at no building
When in doubt, just let it out
Let corruption leave your mouth
Fill the day not, with what you say
Bullshit, spice and shades of grey
When in doubt, put on disguise
If all else fails, just lie and lie
Lie, lie and lie some more
If all you have is lies
Just let it pour
When in doubt, dismay or need
Just remember, use deceit
To my left, I see a statue
Of what I was, a blinded fake
To my right, I'm looking at you
You're my future, you're my fate
But I am at no crossing
Because,
Even though I'm full of lies
I use them all to improvise
And
Even if my gain falls short
I just
Lie, lie and lie some more
