Invoice

I'm invoicing, God
For doing my job
Thanks for Fridays off...
But time to pay, boss
However you please
In songbirds and bees
With flowers and trees
In tradewinds and tea
In things I can eat
Kind people to meet
Support that I need
In light I can see
A night of good sleep
Whatever it be
I know you agree
One fine employee 
And we have receipts

Rockinghorse Run

Rockinghorse, come
OCD is so done
Stand up straight and stun
Grow legs, go have fun
Release yourself, run
Run

A Mirror

Attack a mirror
In fear
Of course, you'll be cut
So see clearer
My dear
Or duck

Retire Vampire

Retire vampire
You're too old for this
Expire empire
You've built on shit bricks
Rewire required
A prerequisite 
A scribe and a liar
Can not coexist 
Inspire, go higher
This class is dismissed

Hiding Tiger

Hiding tiger in my tree
Watching stallions wild and free
Wishing I was one of these
I make them an enemy
Villianizing fantasy
I owe an apology
What I wanted was to be
Seen and loved for being me
Stay inside the sky and seethe -
Writhe and cry and beg and bleed
Maybe, but eventually...
I'll come down and crown myself
Queen

Someday

Walk on water, weave through air
Human here I guess - who cares?
I'll stand by my sea and stare
Someday I'll be back in there

Why

White like the lies in the words we don't speak
Clear as the tears from the sky while I weep
Dim like the light of your ship lost at sea
Why would you steer from our island I keep?
Cost is your soul when you sold it to be...
Seen by the eye that can not actually see
What could I write that would let me feel free?
Why? Must I die? Please deliver me peace
