H ow the dark of night devours
A ll souls who gather near
L onging to reach their destiny
L iving, yet no longer here
O therworldly, seeking shadows
W hen the light of day resigns
E ver frightening in their disguise
E phemeral glow ignites their eyes
N onphysical spirits, at midnight, shine

Too many tacos will always create
A night of discomfort, that isn’t so great
Crispy shells, with meat and cheese
Oh the things we do, just to appease
So, pile it on and hey, pass that plate….
Cause we’ll keep eating, til we regurgitate

S adistic, toying with emotions
A nger settles in, for the night
D isbelief is not far behind
N eedless, self-deprecation in sight
E asing its way, borne of the dark
S unset, selfishly, brings about tears, I am
S ecretly drowning, in my own plight

Colors, of the rainbow, me
Open wounds, I let you see
Disguised as happy, tis my plight
Ever changing, with the light
Red, the anger, sees my fear
Addresses everything, unclear
Indigo shades, have me crazed
Never ending, obsidian days
Blue, the mood, my heart displays
Orange, deep, my mind transcends
When my emotions arc, a rainbow bends

Baffled by that which surrounds her
Embarrassed by what she’d become
Wondered why this had happened
Insanity hit her, until she was numb
Lost in her own world, she lingered
Dazed and confused, overwrought
Ever perplexed, and befuddled
Reality was what she had sought
Everything mixed up, and muddled
Disconcerted, by her own thoughts
