misunderstood
as I was saying, I am frequently
misunderstood
sometimes sad
sometimes mad
and after a short while, i'm tired
save me a breath of fresh air, would you
under my skin, I smoke layered flesh
a lonely stone face
my lungs are reeds, musical whispers
I long for someone who wishes to understand
my despair.
don't expect to relax
I am the dead one, raw and carried
when I watch t.v. I feel a living tomb
awakened unaware
tenuous blackened strength
a weak morbidity aroused by this
haunted world
a cheap madness looks me in the eyes - money and
business (sickness)
You are ill at ease with me, remember:
Don't Expect, to work, just relax
sloppy systems, the nothing
boring routine, the nothing
I am what I am, therefore
I am not pro-choice
be
with me, if you care to
wasted and spiritual swings


"Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast"=(The Doors)

Hi Guiliano...
              I understand this feeling
      perfectly......I think it's just
      frustration!! Must be the way we have
      to live today. At least we can come
      here and let out some of it, and
      people here know what you're talking
      about!!
                  Well Done!!!!


I have but one goal in
life.........
To make you smile!
~~ Sunny ~~
