In typical Disney fashion We as a society romanticize The damsel in distress Waiting for her handsome knight To ride up on horse of white Here to save the day, And kiss her pale pink lips goodnight And we have told the story so many times That we forgot it wasn’t a fairy tale And …

if you know It’s how they do, it’s how it be sometimes.
If you know it’s how they do it’s how it be sometimes: I Don’t have energy for vampires anymore They can’t get underneath my skin And they can keep knocking on my door But I will never let them back in. I hear them howling at the door now “Little pig, little pig” But I …

Space cadet
I’m a space cadet, Took a rocket to the moon. Gravity don’t bring me down too soon. Let me take a trip Around Saturn, wrap it around my finger Like a ring. I wanna find the rover on mars, Be it’s new best friend And make sure it doesn’t spend another birthday On its own …
Reality?
I know I am not a mirror But I see myself everywhere I go Reflections of myself in Everyone I know. I know I am human, With red blood that flows But it feels like ink, And it goes too slow. I think I am a writer, And I suffer for my art. I write …
Ghosts like me
I have been a ghost longer than I have been alive Transparent and haunting; A story for late nights and lessons learned At my Best when I leave bridges burned Down to their bones To their core In ruins we can’t rebuild I have been a ghost, Chains that hold onto me; Eyes like sunken …
Houdini
I cannot find enough words To get out all of the things I feel. I could pull the sentences out of my throat And they would never end Like a magic trick My father was magician too He would juggle in the living room And show me his sleight of hand, He told me a …
A tea party
That night we Planted lilies in the dark You Said you’d never lose my spark And now we are just Two strangers Dancing in a bar A whole now in parts. I’d never seen anything else like you And you never Noticed me at all If I tell you my name is Alice Will you …
Lady Luck
Be careful what you wish for;
She might hear you on the breeze.
Lady Luck might wrap around your finger
Without so much as a please.
She might hear you asking for
A new life to live;
And she will bless you with it,
She’s got the world to give.
But be careful what you wish for;
Cause it’s never what you think.
Sometimes you wish for everything
And you get it all
Thrown at you in a blink.
And you won’t know how to catch it all;
It’s coming at you so fast.
You’ve got so much going for you now
You don’t know how long it’ll last.
And so you get scared;
And fear’s a formidable foe
Dear, you wished for so much
That you can’t let go.
Of the things you barely had
When you started wishing
On stars.
The people you had around
When you started wishing
For love that wasn’t hard.
And that easy love
Yeah they say that it is free
But be careful what you wish for
Because love isn’t really cheap.
Be careful what you wish for,
Be careful what you wish on.
Because you may think it’s a genie,
But it’s been yourself all along.
If You make your own magic,
And You chase your own dreams,
If You fight your own fears then
You get what you need.
The magic is there
If you only believe.
So make your wish carefully;
Cause you don’t get three.
