Beautiful on the outside,
Broken to the core -
Stand up, talk straight!
Don't say anymore.
He no longer prays
For he no longer cares.
Wanted or unwanted;
You'll never see him there.
The dullness of the moment
Has finally got to him.
His never-ending story
Has nowhere to begin.
And that gateway to heaven?
He's convinced he's seen it:
Claims his mind and his body
From the heart of the pit.

Michael flew
Through the sky
On frostbitten wings,
Remembering bitterly
The blissful days
When his brother would sing.
Becoming drunk
On distant lullabies
He wishes to forget.
All of his losses
Tangle in the melody
But were they worth it?
He shamelessly begs,
Not God, but the stars
For just one more chance.
But his pleas go unanswered
For he's lost all hope
In this everlasting dance.

Tell me, can you do it?
Can you keep the disgust
from your face?
Can you believe
of all things,
I'm misunderstood;
I've always
thought life
was a race.
Erase
my memory
tell me
father loves me,
don't you throw me
away.
Evil Overlord
with a heart of
stone
killed 80 people in two days,
still standing alone.
But make no mistake
this bleeding heart won't
be fooled.
'Cuz when it all winds down,
you were made to be ruled.

She Is...Her thoughts are whirling, winding,She Is...3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Madness slowly, steadily, swirling.
She is a ragdoll with a face of porcelain white,
Has a little bowtie smile so contrite.
She doesn't care for the monster under the bed,
Prefers the one hiding in the closet instead.
She is a writer without ink and quill,
Her creativity is quite the bittersweet pill.
She writes in blood upon her own skin,
Trying to appease the demons within.
She is a queen with thorns in her crown,
Cobwebs hide in the folds of her gown.
She has plastic rings on each of her fingers,
Past grandeur and beauty only faintly lingers.
She is a corpse without a crypt,
Lived a life

Feel the love in the back of my mind.
It's all I can do to will it to last forever,
The fleeting moments when I feel there's only one heart of us together.
And as we held each other skin to skin,
Touching your delicate hand over my heart,
I wonder just how close you can feel,
Of the millions of little reasons I love you.

I watch my world close in
Sliding into private hell
For some forgotten sin
Come tidal wave of sadness
Wash every hope away
Drive me to the deepest depths
Then fight to make me stay
Unworthy, lost and lonely
Crush everything I am
Hold up that silvered mirror
For this unwanted man
Show me all my brokenness
The flaws I try to hide
Highlight every failure
Steal every trace of pride
Then leave me in the blackness
Without the will to fight
Helpless sniveling coward
So lost without a light
Crying tears of loneliness
In deep depressions maze
This iron grip far stronger
Than any man made cage

Secretly TogetherBehind closed doors we fall in each other's arms,Secretly Together3 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Like finding consolation in trust of our dreams.
But only in evenings,
When all the thorns have been shed away.
And comes the steady glow of the moon reflecting in your eyes,
The steady warmth I can feel glowing from your skin.
However when you blink,
The world seems to waver at its brink of life.
Still nothing seems close to describing this moment of us together,
Just another of the many we will probably forget.
But like the millions of love stories left unread,
It's as beautiful as any love could be tonight.

The stars are all awake tonight
The moon looks full and bright
If I wish upon a star tonight
Will you be by my side again?
As you stand centre stage
With your Leading Lady
I stand in the background
Waiting for you to turn around, and see me
She has slender curves
Golden hair with a gentle curl
The voice of an angel
And the eyes of crystal waters
She is your Leading Lady
A place I long to be
But alas my voice will never hit her pitch
I'm not so trained
I sing what's only in my heart
Of being by your side
And singing of angels with you
You are my Angel of Music
The stars are all awake tonight
The moon looks full and bright

Building Confidence As an ArtistBuilding Confidence as an ArtistBuilding Confidence As an Artist1 year ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This
It can be difficult for a beginning artist to be confident in your skill and in yourself. Self confidence is an important part of being an artist- and indeed; a human in general. There are tons of steps you can take toward being a confident artist with all the skill and knowledge of a pro.
1: Start Simple.
starting simple can be hard for someone with big dreams but let's face it; nothing is a worse letdown than trying to start on a piece too complicated for your skill level. It may seem degrading, but trust me, no good artist got where they are without working on the basics first. the sooner you realise t

Keep her safe
from screaming voices.
Judgemental reasoning.
Violent thoughts.
Protect her from
poison people.
Save her from
sweet ignorance.
Soothe her pain,
this poor terrified child.
Blinded by lies.
Crippled by the world.
Give her truth and choice
and a will to survive.
Give her knowledge
about the demons in this life.
Wisdom is the key
To a future of success.
Be her safe house.
Warm, kind and caring.

I am rather shallow. I decide what i need and i bend people in order to get it. I twist and break and set their bones askew, because i think i need it. What's more I think THEY need it. That they need me. I have this urge to help, to coach but I no longer am a guideline. I force myself to be a rule. Some people need order. I try to give them something to rely on. Something strong. Something confident. I end up corrupting their thoughts. What they think they need and want aren't their desires, but mine, carved into their bone. Apparently I'm not the only one out there. Driving people away through control and order. Those things in my life i so

Nel libro "Ave Mary" di Michela Murgia (Socia onoraria del Cordinamento Teologhe Italiane) si analizza la condizione femminile alla luce sia della Bibbia, sia delle disposizioni clericali al riguardo, accumulatesi nei secoli.
Altri due libri che ho consultato sono stati "Il respiro delle donne" di Luce Irigaray (Edizioni EST, 1996-2000) (con numerosi contributi di Teologhe-Femministe-Professoresse)
