Multi colored
My soul squalid
Blushing black
A desperate chameleon under attack
No breath gives me air
Soul searching I try myself repair
Sins I must face
Be prepared to meet disgrace
Soul searching in my own body
I find a nobody
A place deep inside
I know somewhere peace does reside
I close my eyes and try in my skin to confide
Goose bumps and straight hair
Naked inside all i will bare
Gentle lies bona fide

Folded stars await

Through bone and heart I grate
Not stopping hot for blood
Soon an oasis will my lips flood

My conscience the student
Searching to find balance
Giving myself pretty time allowance
Looking out for myself so I won't become redundant
I treasure the moment
When the master becomes the student
Until the bell rings again
Until inside me becomes another stain

My soul squalid

having a young life of thrills,
Living life without a care.
