Amazing how fast a world can change,
By the crash of a tongue,
Narrowing of eyes,
People of hurtful things.

A family is one,
When we love, we forget,
Those things we despise, we dismiss,
For those we love.

How quickly hate can rise,
Screaming, yelling, cursing,
Gnashing of teeth, ripping of hair,
How innocent am I?

What did I do?
The silent one,
Quietly observing,
The anger passing over me.

From cries of hate to bellows of demands,
The innocent stay silent,
And we are the punished,
Words fading into a whisper.

Amazing how fast a world can change,
Just yesterday, we were happy,
Smiling and laughing,
Now, we despise.

I am tired,
Do I need this?
Or do I deserve it?
No, I'd like to think that I tried.

But how times have changed,
I refuse to referee,
To calm the waves,
Instead, I merely stay silent.

Words to Screams,
Screams to words,
Words to whispers,
Whispers to silence,

Amazing how fast my world can change.
"They say that the owl was a bakers daughter. Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be"

I just got done with performing in Hamlet, State of Sin for the fall production. And after a month, I have no idea what happened the entire time. I knew the lines and anticipated the stops, but only understood that sooner or later, some one was going to die again.

That line always seemed to stand out while Ophelia was insane (not really, merely in denial)

ANYWAYS
My mother and sister got into an argument about stupid shit, (been awhile since the last) and I kinda felt bad for my sister's boyfriend, (who was standing there like a fool) Sitting at the computer, the words sorta cane to me.

Be it a cry of help or sob of hate, we aren't broken.
