"Life is Measured by Grains of Sand"

The hourglass fills

And heart is still

Heart is still

Last grain of sand to fall

And

Wondering what it is

To not wonder at all.

"Wolf in my Clothing"

Don't close your eyes

For there are monsters there

Monsters behind eyelids

Reminding you of everything you've ever forgotten

Monsters than show you who you can be

Eyes open and you see

Wolves in the streets

They want to eat you

Unaware that

You have wolf blood too

When they ask you to smile

You hide your teeth so they won't see

You desperately want to eat them too

And smile with their blood.
