Splintered Lullabies 
we'll finally learn to fly before the fall
but what does it mean when you're free
free to rise up like a halo in the city
a Mary Magdalena or another eve with such pride

arms open wide, the heart follows the light
whose to say she wasn't real a long time ago
before the spirits went to snow
and it is so cold here in this ice castle

to be happy enough to step up to the wave
try and be brave when you behave
i would rather pave the way
then have my path already paved
the ones who get away
were the ones who were never saved

outside these happy places we see
this chaos and confusion of electricity
there may be a way out someday
there are too many voices calling me
and aliens might be our only way out
i don't think they're real but what else can I say

no one knows what we're about!
numb to myself
numb to my home
given a chance
to leave myself alone

i am never truly alone
television...

I guess I'm just a little too freaked out
I guess I'm just a little too much for you
this might be the last call
before I ascend into the blue

crystalline hue
but I'll miss you too
when i remember what's true

freedom is bliss but where's the objection
hold me up i can't handle this alone
they can't drag me down this time
i am free to rise up into the sublime
no more dragging me down
no more

in my brain, they called me insane
the colors were a happy train
against the screen it was another show
was it ok to be a machine?

try to prove yourself and top them all
they have been here before
the fire has all but melted away
drowned away, i am me just for today
someone help
someone save me before it all fades to gray

what is written may be rewritten someday
with a brighter better plan
there is a way out
find it if you can!

Wise! IMO &...
Very thought provoking, as the reviewer below me said. This Is a deep carefree yet focused work, an extremely well done brainstorming peice, It kind of just flows well when It wants to but the commentary you offer on the perspectives you bring up I find to be full of wisdom.. and very relatable humanistic feelings.. my fav part esecially>>> " i would rather pave the way
then have my path already paved
the ones who get away
were the ones who were never saved" Thats a none-compromising standpoint and I agree with you!.. AWESOME. Well enough Imagery and vocab but your standout opinions shine more than all of that because It's smart IMO...also even though you make It clear how you feel on diverse things you also leave a sense of contemplation that's not set In stone, the Imagery has a humble honesty yet It's very wise in the words you use to answer alot of the very things you think on/ponder... It eevn leaves the reader to ponder... the poem has an Identity that lasts and I like this alot. A very splintered mindstate Indeed! lol ;-), but a smoothly heard lullaby of emotions!. Hope to see more form you! (OH btw a pointless note.. but funny to me about your thoughts on the "alien" bit cuz I also agree I don't believe aliens are real neither lol..more like fallen angels!) Anyway much <3 great work!
