Don't Drink While Sane (Villanelle)

Don't you go drinking in the light of day

It is what they say so that you keep sane

What is sanity without some fun, eh?

They don't understand life is but a play

Too much grunt and too much rules to maintain

Don't you go drinking in the light of day

They say sanity is the righteous way

And that bohemia at fault remains

What is sanity without some fun, eh?

The ways of the art may express that way

They get uncomforted with other's gains

Don't you go drinking in the light of day

But drink with some measure you may convey

Leave some of yourself for the liquid grain

What is sanity without some fun, eh?

Rest assured your eloquence will remain

And don't listen to the words of dismay

Don't you go drinking in the light of day

What is sanity without some fun, eh?

Last Meal (Dramatic Monologue)

Hi, I am Anna, just an ordinary girl

But you will soon find out

There is more than meets the eye

I am a vivid and intellectual explorer

I like to get into people’s minds and free their souls

Magnifying glass over the truth within

I believe we are fools trapped into rules and dreams

Oh, no, dreams never come true, it’s just an illusion to keep you going, in case you wonder..

And while you go, you forget what really matters …

First it’s opium and then reality hits

Lithium, and you see the truth

I committed those crimes and this is my confession

Won’t plea innocence, the deed is done

Please, just understand that I am no monster

I just want you to see that while my hands feel these cold bars

My mind sees the truth within and then, I free my victims souls

And before my last meal, I just wanted to say that I am just

An ordinary girl, no harm intended

Nice to meet you.
