Blakely Gibson
Blakely feels so sick to death of the tries
 Vacancy feels her violet eyes
 Ahead of her stands a fuzzy forest of eucalyptus
 Which makes her wonder who she really is
 Is black hair and dark makeup to blame
 Or is her attitude to be at shame
 Underneath her coarse black tresses she congers up lies 
 Lies to covers the hellos and goodbyes
 Blakely leans her head back to gaze at the constellations  
 As she blithely convinces herself to be more patient
 
 Gibson stands over the depressingly dark colored cement
 The night turns the sky a dark blue tint
 She knows not to fight tonight none the less
 Because her mothers still quite a humongous mess
 The fights never lead to victory
 Fighting only ends with a plead 
 Just let it be
 “You cant end this world alone”
 But she’ll have to if she doesn’t soon leave home
 
 Blakely can sense that she’s in trouble
 And if she keeps down this path she might stumble
 Yet there’s no way out of this predicament 
 She’s horrified for herself and everyone can sense it
 All there’s left to do is twirl her thick black hair
 Try and make it appear as if she doesn’t care
 But the whole world knows she’s to blame
 And its funny because Blakely thinks she’s quite tamed
 
 Gibson squeals at full blast
 Lying in bed recollecting the past
 Her auburn curls seep down past her shoulders
 Could her life story be any colder
 It could possibly get better when she’s older
 If she could only get out and away
 But of course that’s not possible today
 She would have a better chance in life 
 Maybe settle down, have kids become a wife
 
 Blakely is a worried mess 
 As Gibson’s at home with distress 
 Blakely makes her bets and takes her chances
 While Gibson’s smarter taking in life’s lessons
 Blakely wishes on stars
 While Gibson keeps her dreams ajar 
 
 Both with vast causalities 
 Equally trying to find there own identities 
 When the sun is out the clouds must roll in quickly 
 So that’s when they say goodbye hastily 
 “I walk a lonely street”
 Now there above us free of defeat and full of relief
