I leave my journal laying open at night, hoping that the words will fly off the page
And drift out the window into the night air
And dance around the moon
I should start dreaming soon
Too many bugs flying around my world
You wouldn’t want forever
People change
And you’ve never seen my rage
I miss your calming
Smooth
Sing-song voice
You left me no choice
But to trust
And live in the exhilarating moment
And taught me that you don’t have to chase
Or try to erase
Moments
Of happiness and sadness
The magic is already there
Sparking in the air
Getting stuck in your crazy hair
That I miss more than you'd ever know
I'm stuck in negative time
While forgetting how to rhyme
Where are my feelings?
Behind my eyes
Sharp
Hidden under the weathered tarp
One day I will finish writing my story
And I’ll let the words swarm you like a tornado of bees
Or a meteor shower
A universe with all the power
Your voice rises as you get emotional and yet you forget to feed your robot a coin to pay
Skips are calmer and thought out in a, we’ll get through this sort of way
Your tiring voice like a shitty song playing on and on
Talking about the same quarrels over and over
Like you’re trying to wear them out
I'm waiting for time to kill
I can’t wait for my future
Except for the bills
Making me broke
I'm going to choke
On air
Dare
Repeat
Take a seat
With rare rests
In this home of a nest
Going fast, fast, fast, which I think is boring
You need dynamics in your pointless argument
You need to put down some sort of hard flooring
Trying to make a point with your pointless, unneeded voice
You're trying too hard like a coal miner with a death wish darker than soot
Get new material! Stop using old artifacts of the ancient Egyptian empire covered in dust
You make things more dramatic than an entire theater with all the living parts of a stage fight
I'm sitting back mouthing words and hoping you are illiterate in the lip reading of me about to bite
Sweep sweep
I can hear you sweeping at 11 at night
And I like it
I felt like I was the only awake at this time in the world
All alone
Trying to figure out how the world works
But your bristles whispered a sweet lullaby to my ear
And it sang of frustration and hard work
And the classic evil shadows that lurk and try to get to me
The only one left
To feel the weight of the unknown variables
Trying to make sense of my senseless senses and poorly formed sentences
Shweep shweep
Maybe you are nesting
Maybe I want to be resting and in bed
I bet the garage light is on while you sweep
And I bet it looks warm
From my calculated cold point of view
Your insults are shitty
But I'm wittier. Why?
Because I belong to the comeback committee
You’ve changed your way
You were kidding before but now you mean what you say
And for reasons, I stay
I'm a willing fool
Just to be somewhat cool
In my uncool way of being uncruel
The volume on my thoughts is too loud
It's like a big obnoxious crowd
But I like it loud and I'll wear my thoughts like a stereo system, proud
You keep trying to put me in my spot
But you're not
Because I don’t have one, so you might want to change that thought
Rubbing yourself like an eraser in my face
Wont erase,
Me and my bigger, better chase
You make sure that I know that I'm annoying and gross
Maybe you need to up your none existent dose
Or have your fire put out with a fire hose
Because you aren’t doing it for my own good
You're not being a friend how a friend should
In this type of hood
I thought you knew that we have to stick together
Just like how I made your essay better
I try to give you all but you choose to wear her sweater
A superhero is someone who has strength Not super stretchy length
Strength is when someone else can put themselves in back of you In other words they put you first, that’s what they do
Superheroes are ordinary people Not the ones that have a cape and are flying over the church steeple
Superheroes are caring They are never judging you and staring
The medics that show up at a fair Just so everyone is safe, no outside facing underwear
Superheroes have courage but still fear I don’t blame them, they don’t have the head gear
The ones that rather compassion Over fashion
The ones that are brave Everyone they can’t always save
This is reality, some of the innocents are dead Some go unfed
Who are your superheroes? I hope that you answer doesn’t start with a zero
Let the rain,
Let it roll off your back
drip drip away your pain
Before you hit the sack
It's alright to let it go
Don't be embarrassed to cry
Rain is warm, cold is snow
After you'll be able to dry
Snowy cold
Trust me you want to be warm
You'll fill your cracked mold,
Your chipped, poor form
Don't fall asleep with an open mouth
You'll surly drown
Keep on hitch hiking south
I should have known that to happen it was bound
Well I must not lose time
I have to keep moving
If you drive to me to Texas I'll give you my only dime
To myself I do the proving
To keep myself going I keep my belongings light
Are you on my tail?
Sorry but you, I still don't trust quite
Please stay here don't bail
It's has little to do with you at all
Please just wait and stay
Are you here to catch me or will I hit rock bottom at full force when I jump then fall?
I'm really sorry it might be a long delay
5:55 at still not, alone
The sun is coming up
And I’ll see it down again
As the day gets brighter
The darker my day gets
If I'm walking uphill
That does not mean I am not going downhill
And if I'm in the eye of the hurricane,
That does not mean from the storm I am free
The higher I get, the lower I sink
The more I wait for the perfect moment
The faster it will pass because I am a small, white, rodent
A rodent so quiet it forgot to squeak
A shrugging girl so quiet she forgot to speak
Tempting, as it may be, I'm too tired to argue with your opinion
Scenery flashing by as I try to run on my legs of rubber molasses
Frustration drips down my face and my body
When I run from my problems I am running right into their tangled arms
Living away from them, they get bigger
Living with them, I go crazy claustrophobic
I want stars; I want the moon’s blood
I do not want to be lonely but I want to be alone
In galaxies of snow
You were blinded
You said I opened your eyes
But you are still near and far sided
You were lost in your own galaxy,
In fact you still are
And you have to rescue yourself,
From the fact that I live with part of a star
The sky with a blue tint
And the bright grey,
Did they not give you a hint,
That I need physical space on some days?
You are all touchy-feely
I’d prefer just being and you just being
You are all lovey-dovey
That you're just not seeing
I know that everyone shows love differently
You need to focus on yourself more,
Rather than focusing on what my lips feel like
I'm starting for the door
You seem to like the idea of this broken relationship
But it’s taken its toll,
With you, literally being attached at the hip
You need to get over yourself
In the way that you need to know every conversation
That has the slightest relation to me and you
But you think you need to know
Even if you already knew
Similarly to the whispers of your parents you don’t need to know about
The whispers of what they personally believe
And if they are wrong, you will try to correct them like a toddler while you pout
In galaxies of snow, you are unrightfully playing a selfish god as a child
You do that by saying, “You should totally let me hold your hand”
And you thought it was funny
But you can’t make me land,
And I'm so sorry that you cannot fly without money!
Burning, tired anger
What am I doing with this stranger?
The world on fire, is a danger
Let it burn My existence is a shout into the void
I came out irritated and annoyed
Talking and joking just to avoid,
The fact that the world is on fire Live and burn
It’s always my turn
Why can’t I learn?
It’s because I’m trying not to catch a fire Teachers make me fail
Dietitians make me eat lousy kale
I’ll never stop listening to the storm with the hail
In order to mute the crackle of the flame I don’t need saving
But the charred roads need a new paving
But for Sara I’ll try to keep braving
I’m not brave; I’m just immune to the burn I can’t send mail
I think I’m made out of puppy dog tails
Not sugar and spices that you can buy in pails
Red, orange, yellow, blue Where are you mystery one?
The world is now the sun
Living in hell with no where to run
What moment did the world catch fire?
Was it the bread
That got to your head?
Or was it the butter
That made you stutter?
Maybe you think it was the salt
That made it your fault
I know that the berries
Didn't make you marry
But what was your deal
With the oatmeal?
Was the grapefruit too tart?
Maybe it’s why you had to fart
You gave a nickel
For a fried pickle
Maybe the pie
Was the reason that it felt like you were going to die
I mean the honey
Did seem to taste a little funny
Did the steak
Give you a stomach ache?
Was it the chicken soup
That made you have to go poop?
Or was it the icing on the cake
That made your stomach break?
All's not lost
Until I have lost my mind
Now I will write
Into the night As if I am some sort of time lord
I will write
Until I feel alright
A poet’s tailbone
Is where they keep their tales
My tailbone is tired
I shall steal my sleep
From tomorrow
I am a true night time poet
With dry, tangled hair
Who knows where I’ll be able to take myself
Some is lost
And I'll admit that I fucked up
But I can almost trust
That this shall continue
I shall continue on this journey
That is full of losing
And gaining
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.
