Can you take my anger? And pass me the settledness? I think I need a coat hanger for my anger To hang it up
I keep my dreams in the closet And my hopes in a drawer When I grow up I can take them out And wear them higher I keep my fears Under the bed They live with the monsters, Who keep my fears from getting misplaced I keep my misery in the basement Where I hope it’ll get lost But I see it every time I do laundry One time I tried to hang it out to dry I keep stupidity in the attic With the light on Often times I have bright ideas I keep passion on the floor It's too much for me to handle, When I keep depression Strung around my fingers Which keeps me from forgetting That I left jealousy Brewing and boiling on the stove A poignant smell that makes I keep happiness On pieces of yellowed paper Which are stuck up on the fridge with magnets The messy drawings of not caring mock me as I pull pity out to eat for a midnight snack
Smooth
Smooth
Groove
I can say I made it out alive
I can say that all the times I got pied
Humiliated, it felt like you, snide
Groove
Smooth
Smooth
You seem needy for a female
When will you realize, I will not be for sale?
For news you're stale
Smooth
Groove
Smooth
You wish you had this one
Away from that one guy I'll run
By someone else my heart has been nicely won
You are not smooth
You're vain which is not my groove
Please stop thinking I am your smooth
I met a women named sue
She had ladyfingers that created the best of messy handwriting
And she drank coffee
She was guiding me
And she was sometimes Tyranny sue
But I loved that she knew, what she was doing
When she mentioned that she was leaving
She saw into my eyes and saw the tear in me
Sue…oh Sue
After she was gone
She caused a hole,
A tear in me Sue
People think I'm lazy
But I'm awake for the same amount of time they are
I am just awake and asleep at a different time
They see me sleeping all day
But that’s because I'm awake all night
They say the early bird gets the worm
But what if I happen to consider myself the worm?
Not only that but…
The second mouse gets the cheese
I'm nocturnal
Either that or I was meant for the other side of the planet
But I do like seeing the stars
Street lights and few cars
It’s nice to be unbothered
By anyone really
Daytime people
Won’t understand the mood
Of Ziggy Stardust or the Dark Side of the Moon
Only Spacetime Oddities
Know about the secret societies
That only meet in the night,
Only to mess with the forces
Of the good, the bad, and the gravity
Along with pronking springboks
Broken,
No one knows
No one cares
No one can see my depressed shadow
But that shadow is mine and it’s the other half of me
It is taking over
My hallow, dark inside, body makes a shadow
Please stop walking on my shadow and thinking nothing of it
You think stomping on it is funny
But you don’t realize that, that is me
I want to put a cast on my broken shadow but I can’t because it moves with me and is always behind me
You fall for the fake smiles and laughs in the front but you forget to look in the back
If anyone really did love me they would look in the back and try to control it
They would try their best to stop and conquer it
The sun only brings out my shadow more
I hate the sun
I like rainy dark days
I like the feeling but I hate it at the same time
Honey don’t listen to them all
Don’t let yourself fall
Just keep doing what you were doing
The dream of life keep on pursuing
Don’t fucking stop
Pull out of that garbage smelling parking lot
Don’t let go
Keep moving even if it is slow
I know you sweetheart, you always make it
Keep that fire inside of you lit
Don’t let it go out
Cry your heart into a drought
Come on, love pull yourself out, now more than ever
You are definitely clever
Run you clever girl
Stop believing that you aren't a pearl
Just keep on your feet
Let the future uncurl, I promise it will end up feeling complete
Don’t ever let them force you to sit
One thing about you that amazes me is that you always make it
I know that this isn't what you think, I know it all seems like a mess
But you'll make it don’t think any less
You, have no clue
How much I believe in you
You will find a reason for that pain
Sorry I won’t explain
It will be a great surprise
You have the ability to see through lies
That perfectly terrible loop
Your brain right now is, thought soup
Just another bump in the road
You can take the heavy load
I am the future yet at the same time the past
That desert of the darkness is very vast
But "the best way out is always through"
So for now just make do
I feel comfortable right now
In this moment
I’m warm
I’m tired
I’m not freaking out
I feel like a little kid in this state of innocence
But this moment has just been ruined by my colon
In other words
I have to poop
Fucking mother nature
You must be laughing at me
But since tomorrow is my birthday
I suppose I should let you have a laugh
But please be careful
With your volcanoes
And your avalanches
But thank you for this moment
Full of my favorite things,
Music,
Warmth,
Fuzzy blanket,
Yarn,
Silly conversations with friends,
A head of ideas,
And lastly,
A feeling of completeness
Or wholeness
The face of it
The eyes fully open as if it was looking for something in me
The short hair sticking straight up, floating in the gentle movement
of the little puddle
But the eyes, cold, ice, blue
I dared to touch the dead person's face
I could see the sky, wind, water in those blue eyes
Wondering what their story might have been
The eyes were still alive, searching
You could tell that the body was withering away
In those eyes there was everything but fire
The bones becoming visible
There was nothing scary in those eyes
Who left them behind like this?
You could tell from their eyes that the person was gentle but they were too
delicate,
Like frosting on a cake
What was the last thing those rich eyes saw?
How many winters?
His eyes give me meaning
Something to live for even though he is dead
But his eyes stay awake
Then it hit me like a sword in the throat, he did it to himself
But his eyes are so big and beautiful
Why did he do that?
Those eyes of ice
His body was ice
His eyes spoke of sweet passions and dreams
He must have been a hard worker
But I fell in live with those eyes of ice
My heart will forever be frozen in time
His eyes alive
If only by miracle he came back to life
My eyes are locked with his
I always fall in love with something I can't have
Why must my eyes do that?
I don't like having a safety blanket
The kind that your grandma knit
When I have one I cut it
It makes me feel vulnerable
This is why I'm not exactly hug-able
Unfortunately for me I'm like-able
So in my case
I don't like the safe space
Or seeing your face
I don't want to get attacked so I'm going to keep my distance
Yes, I am probably causing the resistance
No, I don't need any assistance
Yes it's bizarre
Watch out when you're not looking I'll crash your car
I'll earn a new scar
Go out smashing windows
That's not even one of my lowest of lows
My safety blanket does not run with the flow
Without one I'm able to go around looking for trouble
Making love to this town's rubble
But if I had one, you could easily make me crumble
When I do have one I cut it
Especially the kind that your grandma knits
I dislike having a safety blanket
Filthy skin
I'm itching
To be an orphan
I'm waiting for lives to be gone
By then I'll be old
I'll be too late
I'm a failure either way
I need it badly
It's stuck on me
It has ruined me many times before
So I must go off to battle
See you long
Hidden secrecy
Private
Not stolen
My head is free unlike any words trapped on paper Memories run wild,
Fading
Should I let them slip,
Away?
I'm stuck in a lazy jail cell
I can't dig my way out in rhythm
If I could I'd still be stuck,
In an unfortunate life
I keep telling myself it's not going to happen
I already had my hopes set on fire
They're ashes of reality now
Oh reality...
There was no point in making me join my meeting
Because my thoughts were fleeting
Because I'm too fucking anxious to share my voice, please spare me from the madness
I couldn't even share a simple greeting You asked if I had any questions, comments, or if I have anything to say
And I do... but I guess anxiety doesn't want me to talk today
No, not even now
In this month of May The nurse isn't my cup of tea
And I feel that I am allowed no privacy,
This makes me very uncomfortable as a teenage girl and,
Details of my butthole are obviously my favorite topic for stranger to know about me The thing is, if I was dying,
If I was crying
I'd prefer to stay and sit in class rather than go anywhere else
I'm not lying She thinks I'm stable
And yet she's a mere stranger in my life and I probably still have proctitis on my table
I have so much on my plate it has overflowed
But I'll find a way to be able Having a bad stomach and anxiety make a perfect match that work
They are a dangerous loop that lurks,
In my background when I say that I'm okay
Yeah, I am a little jerk I'm still anxious and I don't sleep at night
Because my brain is playing back all the mistakes and times that I wasn't right
And how embarrassing it was, and how I will probably never live it down
And tomorrow will just be another blurred day of living in the fog of this mental, intestinal fight
Hello over there! I love writing poetry. I have a dream of becoming a writer! I hope that my poetry makes you feel like you're not in this world all alone.
