"Seduce my mind
...and speak those words to the point of
contradiction.
Hypocrisy never seemed so beautiful.
Your lips have it down to an
art. Oh, I know I'm in love with
wordplay.
Speak to me,
'til your lips are numb.
We'll always have pen and paper. " -By Anonymous, Mississauga, Canada

Not to pretty,
not to smart,
if life were play,I didn't
get the lead part
Left alone, silent
to watch the world
change
As I have no say in
anything

Sometimes I feel like I'm just watching, observing,being invisable, and I can't do anything but watch.
