  Life's A Scene

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  Life is a scene, Take a seat, Watch the show, Every five years, Our definitions change, And it seems to me, The hearts of the youth, Keep getting colder, The fear, Of being transparent, Brings out, Our anger and hatred, For the world, And our inability, To trust one another, It will b...

  Stone Wall

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  Life's a' movin, All around me, People are changing, Here I am, Sitting next to someone, Tiny in stature, They might have a foul mouth, But a innocent heart, I watch him, Like one would watch a puppy, Barking and chasing strangers, To young to be punished, Too old to go unnotic...

  Society Insanity

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  I've been watching, Watching those around me, Their reactions, Their expressions, It seems to me, Society owns our souls, It has told us, How to feel, When to be happy and when to be sad, What is love and who to love, When we can have fun, And what is freedom, From birth, Lies have...

  Somber Silence

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  Somber Silence, Maybe this is a dream, Perhaps I'm dead, Am I buried, alive? The melancholy of this darkness, Overwhelms me, Its cruel frigid air, Fills my lungs to the brim, It tastes of, Paranoia and fear, And this ringing, A steady hum of feeling useless, Resonates through me...

  Sterotypical Oreos

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  We're all on the same boat, It's what's keeping us floating, The very same boat you're riding, It's made from the stereotypical ideas, Which you think and choose to speak, The water below is threatening, To pull you under, Into a watery grave, It's filled and ...

  Memories of Home

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  My Hometown The place where I lived, The limits seemed endless, My brother a dealer, In and out of rehab, My sister a ballerina, With only dreams, When I think back, This town, It was pretty f***ed up, Filled to the brim, With racism, drugs, and hate, You couldn’t go a day, Without h...

  Hymn To Lucifer

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  As ever evil thought in this world multiples, They are weaved into a lullaby, Nightmares become reality, And the magicians illusion defecates all morality, Gutters overflow from the floods, Streets become rivers of blood, The crimson moon sounds a crescendo, Man turns on man as the chastity o...

  The Moon

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  The Moon It stares, Its nest in the night sky, Cold pale eyes, In a never-ending gaze, Seemingly unmoving, Like a ship way out at sea, It will drift, Away, Into the boundless horizon, Only to be reborn at dusk, With greater intensity, Like a newborn phoenix, Rising from its ashes,...

  Life Crumbles

  

  By LooknWonder, Washougal, WA

  Life, It’s fragile, Hold it in your hands, Watch as it’s crushed, Tell it to run, Never look back, You want it to flourish, Not to fade, Don’t be surprised, When it turns around, Bearing Fangs, In spite of the love, You showed, And when it leaves, Don’t expect, It to ever come...
