Mr. Metal, by T.R.

Mr. Metal

My head was of metal

My heart was of straw

My bones were of twigs

For those who did not know

They scarred each one

Each looked like ruptures on cloth

Big holes in the middle

And I did not have a needle

My head was of metal

But clay was my mind

It took the shape they wanted

Of a slave in a land of slavers

But my mind molded once more

As I got away from them

And took the shape I wanted

Once and for all

Yeah, I was bullied

Call what you see, if you please. Loser, creep, weirdo... At least say it to me. To me. Me and not them,

Forever Safe

In you and I There is a war That will not fly Without a sword You wield in hand

I'll Be There

When the sorrow strikes And the roses spike And the day you dislike I’ll be there When the window shines

Dear Nobody

I write to you for I am alone And you are my last resort My time I wrote on a stone Of the moldy and broken sort I lost the hammer I used

The Titan's Black Stone

‘Tis a black stone underwater Of a helmsman feeling pain. ‘Tis the fall of Titan’s daughter… ‘Tis a confident marauder, Who, with blood, herself she stain…

Ideas of Ideas

I lie on my bed A pen in my hand My brain does not stand I cant use my hand I don’t understand

With The Roaches I Share

With the Roaches I share An inanimate Stare And a messed up appearance That I cannot bear A Thought without clearance

In A River Where There Are None

And you and I can keep going And you and I can recover For the blood flows as the river g… And I and you float on its waters And I and you know well

The day of Question

Question told me as she spoke Answer now for Question’s sake She knew that she would provoke Messy questions Question made Question rode her Answer horse

February

Welcome to the caverns Hope you cannot stay Darkness fills the taverns At the beginning of the day Leave while you are happy

Who?

Am I blind or deaf? Am I seeing right? A so beauty sight A sound like a breath And eyes oh so bright?

Milady

Milady, may I have this dance? And in this number will we stay? May we forever form a stance And leave our masks on ‘till the d… I cannot say I’ll happy be

Stay to waste me. I waste you.

Perhaps it’s best to go other ways… You don’t feel as I do, Juat me, All of you, You all, me alone. And even with you all

Worthless

Worthless be the starlight That’s never seen at night And worthless be an hourglass If we lose track of time. Worthless be the speaker
