Based on the Lyrics of Melanie Martinez's Carousel.


Clouds in my mind floating ‘round like some fresh new hell, I know,

That I’m the one to blame I can always tell,

It shows.

Looking ‘round but all I can see and smell,

Is my,

Unending fear that things will never go well.


Oh, oh it starts small,

It creeps up the wall,

Til you hold tight... fearing it all.


It begs for your hand,

It calls you to stand,

To fall down toward... its gaping maw.


And your mind is a maze,

Shrouded by clouds of love.

But there’s nothing less inviting,

Than a life with your past.


Clouds in my mind floating ‘round like some fresh new hell, I know,

That I’m the one to blame I can always tell,

It shows.

Looking ‘round but all I can see and smell,

Is my,

Unending fear that things will never go well.


The course of this woe,

Leads to your great foe,

Reflected, right there,.. your face mirrored.


Your face it’s so clear,

It’s you that you fear,

There you go, fight off the lies that they’ve told you.


And your mind is a maze,

Shrouded by clouds of love.

But there’s nothing less inviting,

Than a life with your past.


Clouds in my mind floating ‘round like some fresh new hell, I know,

That I’m the one to blame I can always tell,

It shows.

Looking ‘round but all I can see and smell,

Is my,

Unending fear that things will never go well.


Lies and fear, they hold on to your heart,

You seek a fresh new start, don’t stop.

You have to shove and shove.

Pushing, fighting, thriving.


Clouds in my mind floating ‘round like some fresh new hell, I know,

That I’m the one to blame I can always tell,

It shows.

Looking ‘round but all I can see and smell,

Is my,

Unending fear that things will never go well.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
