TOPICAL - "The Unexpected Visitor" (i think this was in the RSTL, maybe in the BBs tag tournament though)
06-03-2004
i cry anxiously, to get noticed by a someone who doesn’t care
kick in captivity, to get the attention of a someone never there
and i can never tell time, from days of pain to a moments bliss
because my existence only is-----one of personified loneliness
forever my dreams are unfurnished, i’ve no meanin or purpose
all my life i’ve swum in solitude, beneath a sea with no surface
im anxious and nervous, and i burn in this furnace-like canyon
i kick in an isolated reservoir to form a mere bubble companion
but im quickly abandoned, as my pals burst i weep and i grieve
yet even my tears decease the instance that they are conceived
they’r wiped clean before they have meaning, or design a story
how can i know happiness, before a someone defines it for me
my vision is imprisoned, this encapsulating sea traps what i see
but im sure i’d find another pair of eyes even more captivating
i occasionally perceive voices, and though its hard to just let go
my response is useless, its as fruitless as when i argue my echo
life is an amazing gift, and though im far too enslaved to live it
i imagine how my loneliness will diminish, if ever paid a visit
“i’ve been waitin my whole life to meet you, how do you do?
i just grew my ten fingers! are u somethin i can count on too?”
i’ll welcome them to my humble abode, and harness their love
open the door for the someone to know, and my arms for a hug
“thank you so much for coming… it felt so empty to be alone
may i kiss ur cheek? my lips could never quite reach my own
my feet have grown, can u teach me how they can be used too
because i want to follow your footsteps…so i never lose you
i really admire you too, i know for now im crawlin on the floor
but i’ll always look up to you, even when ur not taller anymore
all the love i have in store! u can train me to be the bestest son
will u give me a hand? i’ve been meanin to fill this empty one
my contempt is gone! thank u for letting me be your first child
dont worry, u havent missed much- u just seen my first smile!
we can live where ever you want, cuz now ya’ll are my home
u can name me timmy, tommy, or junior- just call me ur own
there was a time where i was ignored, but now i see im adored
will u stare at me for a little longer? i never seen eyes before”
and then i’ll…
WHA..WHATS THIS?!? whats up with my living conditions
something is draining my emotions, AND the water i swim in
my domains diminishin, constricting, whats wrong with this all
the very reality i know is crashing down along with these walls
my pink torso tumbles down a funnel, head getin so pummeled
suddenly my eyes work, ‘n i see a light at the end of the tunnel
why do i fight towards the light...? i dont know what i’ll find
i just wanna dive at the chance to leave my loneliness behind
so move thru the suction tube of solitude, n see a surgeon guy
then i go blind, as the newborn light penetrates my virgin eyes
so I emerge and cry! my first real cry…because i had listeners
and to my surprise my cries are joined, by two smiling visitors
