Noise
Noise meaningless noise everywhere I hear it
No place to hide everywhere I'm near it
I'd run away from this place to be free
Meaningless people with meaningless words won't let me be
Noise all the working day long
My body can't handle it I'm not that strong
I go home to lay down my head
My only peace is my bed
Parable
You can drag a horse to a river but you can't make him drink
You can impart knowledge to a child but you can't make him think
Stereotypes
I am the "not my type" stereotype
I am the whiny liberal gripe
I am the gullible chump
I am the set in my ways grump
I am the self-loathing grunge punk
I am the geek with teeth full of gunk
I am the walking encyclopedia absent minded professor
I am the reluctant sin confessor
I am the inner child
I am Mother Nature's son gone wild
Actually to you know me you are not able
Because you can't look beyond a label

Video Games
Bettie Kaczynski:
I am Mario I am Pacman
I conquer levels just because I can
With my finger on the button I am in command
I don't fear no dragon or no ghost
With extra lives backing me I'll boast
I always have a new high score on the post
This is my accomplishment my legacy
This is how people will remember me
If there was anyone here to see

Mt Kilimanjaro
Where's the snow of Mt Kilimanjaro?
Where is there for it to go?
Did anyone see it passing by?
Did it leave by river or by sky?
Strange things are happening in nature
Something is happening to its glaciers
All over the world there's less ice and yet less green fields
Nothing to counteract the pollution it builds
Our tundras have melted dry
Excessive clouds mount in the sky
Clouds just keep gathering as temperatures start to warm
Until the floodgates are full at the wake of an apocalyptic storm
I Knew God
In childhood I knew a kingdom without war
The Kingdom of God I was striving for
I knew only pure love and truth
I knew the logic and saw the proof
I felt safe drawing to the conclusion
That the Kingdom of God wasn't built on seclusion
I felt certain God rewarded the good
And saves all those doing as they should
No more sickness no more death
Resurrection giving our souls a second breathe
But as time wears on my spirit wears out
And my soul dies slowly as my faith begins to doubt
Growing Up
Growing up means learning to say goodbye
Through drifting apart to death to a million reasons why
Growing up means learning not to cry
Learning futile masking tricks mastered on the first try
Growing up means always feeling guilty
Loathing every lonely moment you spend free
Growing up means counting your money
To see your value in society

Locked Up Reprise
Mrs Kaczynski:
Honey would you please open the door?
Bettie Kaczynski:
Not now Mom I'm working on my computer
Mrs Kaczynski:
I thought you didn't have any homework what's it for?
Bettie Kaczynski:
I'm writing in a journal I don't want you to see
Mrs Kaczynski:
What could you write that you wouldn't want to show me?
Bettie Kaczynski:
It's just a personal secret just let it be
Mrs Kaczynski:
If you want a project or an outlet
Why not something where people can be met?
A sports team or a band could get you some friends yet
Bettie Kaczynski:
I can't go wearing a disguise
Trying to live a compromise
Just to win a worthless prize
Don't misunderstand I only dislike the kids who beat me
But there are other ways they can mistreat me
I can never make friends if I can't sense sincerity
Here I'm in control and I'm free
Ruling over the technology
That turns on and off my little society

Working
Face is cold joints are sweating
Wandering wondering what I'm getting
But you can't stop moving on
Because every moment that stands still is a moment gone
When nothing's done
No prize is won
If you slow down your pace
It'll be the wrong time when you're at the right place
Which is the worst situation
An irreversible complication
Where are you going you may not care
But you can't afford not to be there
Got to keep striving for the moment
Cause you pay the cost for every moment spent
Life has an expiration date
Got to start living before it's too late
Neverfear
In fear of a cyclone
I hide alone
In a cold dark basement
Never away from the fears that won't relent
Never away from the fears I hide from
The fears of storms that may never come
I ran away
From the light of day
Storms that came had me worried ill
But when I arose the world was still
I looked up to see the sky was clear
So I began to question my clouded fear
Don't Question Death
Why do you wonder why
I had to die
I could only have lived so long
Being only so strong
Why do you mourn a man who never would
Do all that he possible could
Why do you cry the world had every right to reject me
I could never be what they expected me to be
Face is cold joints are sweating
Wandering wondering what I'm getting
But you can't stop moving on
Because every moment that stands still is a moment gone
When nothing's done
No prize is won
If you slow down your pace
It'll be the wrong time when you're at the right place
Which is the worst situation
An irreversible complication
Where are you going you may not care
But you can't afford not to be there
Got to keep striving for the moment
Cause you pay the cost for every moment spent

After Class
Bettie Kaczynski:
Here you go Mrs Abbott my project is done
Mrs Abbott:
Bettie the project was to get to know someone
Bettie Kaczynski:
You know that project was over before it begun
Mrs Abbott:
If you don't learn people skills how will you handle a career
Bettie Kaczynski:
I am a master of technology so I have nothing to fear
Mrs Abbott:
But what will you do about age appropriate friends my dear
Bettie Kaczynski:
I don't have to worry about that either thanks again to technology
Mrs Abbott:
Technology is not suppose to alienate you from society
Bettie Kaczynski:
No Mrs Abbott it doesn't it sets me free
Here you go Mrs Abbott my project is done
Mrs Abbott:
Bettie the project was to get to know someone
Bettie Kaczynski:

Poetry Post 236
I Am Water
You can walk right over me
You can peer and probe straight through
You can protect yourself from me
But not I from you
I change form as each season leaves
But I'm still as simple as you could perceive
Anorexia
Losing weight getting bony
Feel no pain dying slowly
Adapting to the damage
Learning how to manage
The loss of control
Losing body and soul
I'm rotting to decease
Piece by piece
Take two steps forward fall three steps back
Can't gain weight or even stay on track
It's not about self image I'm just too sick to eat
Can't stand up let alone walk on my feet
Wasting energy I don't have on my next breathe
Brings me two steps closer to death
Cheer Me
Stop my tears from falling down
Disappear my frown
Please all you come and cheer me
Give me a reason to be
I'd give all I have to give
If I could find a reason to live
Please all you come and cheer me
Give me a reason to be
You can walk right over me
You can peer and probe straight through
You can protect yourself from me
But not I from you
I change form as each season leaves
But I'm still as simple as you could perceive
Anorexia
Losing weight getting bony
Feel no pain dying slowly
Adapting to the damage
Learning how to manage
The loss of control
Losing body and soul
I'm rotting to decease
Piece by piece
Take two steps forward fall three steps back
Can't gain weight or even stay on track
It's not about self image I'm just too sick to eat
Can't stand up let alone walk on my feet
Wasting energy I don't have on my next breathe
Brings me two steps closer to death
Cheer Me
Stop my tears from falling down
Disappear my frown
Please all you come and cheer me
Give me a reason to be
I'd give all I have to give
If I could find a reason to live
Please all you come and cheer me
Give me a reason to be
