**Symond Street Shadows**

umm. well i'm feeling rather meh at the moment. as a result of the heat, 'friends', new meds, work and recieving a couple of things in the mail which kinda upset me but i'll survive. theres too many emos for me to add myself to the mix... so here is the first poem i have written in about six months. and well you can tell i've lost my poetry mojo/muse thou. Insperation walking up K Road to meet Andrew one evening. Advice, critisitim, and ideas to change it (its not finished as yet) would be greatly appericated.

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Symond Street Shadows

6 foot 4
a lollipop in your mouth
(i know you wish you were sucking something else)

we all live this lie. Play our parts on the world stage

wearing a heart on your sleeve
along with piercings and tattoos
(hand in hand)
not with a lover, but someone who 'matches' you

live this lie. its all we know. play your part. we are so good at it

not matter how fast you go
(rythmitic feet on pavement)
you'll never run away
and no matter how hard you 'smile'
(its painted on, like the eyeliner)
shes not going to stay

All we do is lie. Lie to live
Pay a part. stay safe behind your mask.
