That moment when you can't get the pencil to write
When the paper bites
Writer's block
Is worse than getting stuck with your brother's smelly sock
Too many thoughts on my mind
I need to write so I'll know I'll be just fine
Into a ball I want to curl
I need to stop hiding from the world
The moment you are so numb that nothing helps, not even music
I know I have the power but I'm afraid to use it
It would just cause me trouble
Make my world as I know it crumble
You start to think
At writing you stink
You don't want to write it all
Can't risk another fall
You are plain 'ol stuck
Wishes on shooting stars for better luck
What you don't realize is that it's all there
You need to take the dare
Too many thoughts yet at the same time I have an empty head
So for now I'm off to bed
I find it funny that
White roses tarnish with age
I'm scared my love
Will have wrinkles the next time I will meet
Will it be you or me at the welcome mat?
Maybe I will keep your coat hanger for my rage
Like Cinderella shoe, or someone’s glove
I keep your writing as a treat
I'm in need of a deep conversation
And I think you'd be perfection
I wonder your thoughts on bottling up fear
And using the pressure like a Coke and Mentos rocket
Blast off with irritation
And safety goggles for protection
We could talk about what we think of Shakespeare
And girls pockets
When it comes to talking
I just don’t know how or where to start
Maybe I'm in need of a brave summer vacation
I have don’t have many ideas though
I just have to keep a rolling and a rocking
I also have to learn how to part
With hesitation
Learn how to jump head first into something when people are saying no
I have to learn to not think, just do
Every time I go around I want to reach for the gold rings
And see everything I can see before I can’t see
I want to know that if I failed, at least I tried
I find it funny how we all do the same motions but are different each time we carry them through
How we change slowly and want and need different things
I'm scared and I want to break free to be me
Lets see where life will show me and take me to, I'm in for the ride
I don't like to be
Distracted by the hand held
Devices of now
I just like the quiet
I'd rather just be silent
And just listen to...
Boardwalk bridges that
Sound like a xylophone that
Lead to spiderweb,
Facial masks, that lead to
Nature's cotton candy, that
Are cattail trails, yet
With all these great things
It seems like people don't like,
To listen and watch
You seem so real
And this whole relationship is a big deal
And I still can’t decide
Even though you always take my side
It seems like an easy one
But I went for it just for some fun
You're magnetic and draw me in
I can’t help but feel the pull on the sting attached to my tin
My ex was a cartoon
And you hit me with a harpoon
As I tried to do to him
But he didn’t understand he was so dim
He was fake happy, living in a world with no storms
And precipitation comes in many forms
So how’d he get the rainbows?
He hung out with too many hoes
You're talking about kissing on new years
As I thought about with Juan last year before he caused me tears
But I wouldn’t want to with you because you're not near
Oh my lovely dear
You're prince charming
But because Juan was doing the heart harming,
I can’t fall head over,
Heels; Juan is what's left of the stover
I'm nervous
But I showed up and here I am
I'm choosing to go down swinging, hard
I have to know that I tried
Even if I know I'm gonna get my butt kicked,
I like to at least attempt to kick back
My life has trained me for the sport of butt kicking
But it sometimes leaves me feeling pooped out
Every time I yawn I roar like a lion
A silent roar of sleep deprivation
But a roar of determination
Call me stupid
Call me crazy
But I'm gonna get this right no matter how many times it takes
I'll get it eventually
You can annoy me and make me feel uncomfortable but you cannot get through my stubborn head
I'm nearly impossible to brainwash
Without other methods being used
Looking at the big picture
Can be daunting
But you can just use fractions
And break everything up
Shatter it thoroughly
Take a step back
Breathe
And look with new eyes of simplicity
One step
At
A
Time
Let the miracles happen, and have fun storming the castle
Little do you know
That I still think you’re really cool
More than the status quo
When we talk my words are like tiny dancers
Trying to be graceful
With one worded answers
Little do you know, I do care
I still love you like a messy two year old running around in a diaper
With tangled hair
Little do you know I seesaw us like sisters
And when you're not around
It’s like I'm getting blisters
In me the two year old
Still wants to sit on your lap and leave with a French braid
You still have me sold
Little do you know that even though I am no longer two
And I cut my hair short
I'm secretly stuck like dried glue
Last time I saw you
You said that for a summer I had made you feel special
And I can’t believe that’s true
Because little did I know that I was nothing more
Than two
And was probably a bore
So before,
I become older than 18 just know that
I have a sensitive heart and nothing more
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
The past is the past
It may not have been the best
Let’s just leave it at that
But soon I'll be free from this wrecked nest
Right now it's not fun
It's those memories
I should hurry up, get over it and be done
Families that feel like enemies
The stares that pierce through you
They judge
But they don't have a clue
Their stubborn heads won't budge
I now look forward, so don't make me look back
I will be better someday
I won the treasure by slapping the jack
I didn't mean it like that way
No one to trust
No one to hold and clutch
Heat full of tumble weeds and dust
Not even a love touch
I was invisible
They didn't care
But anything is live-able
So I built my own lair
They didn't pay attention either
Suck it up and deal
Never got a breather
No one cares how I really feel
Say that you love me then break me like a china plate
Why did you make me sit on a towel?
Well now you're too late
Never had good bowels
Always felt out of place
I'm sorry but some things can't be forgiven
After things happened I don't feel safe
But I'm going to keep on live'n
Always felt different and weird
In a bad way
I tried to make all of it disappear
Nobody I wanted ever stayed
Tears roll'n down my cheek
They hit the floor like glass
The feelings that are deep down are antique
It can happen that fast
I've learned how to turn myself into a rock
Always picking up my own head
It causes me to have writers block
While people eat the meat, I don't whine and take the bread
No one cared if my head drooped down
I was forced to walk alone
They ignored me when one my face there was a frown
That's when my heart turned to stone
You should be worried about yourself
And yet you're worried about me
Even though you were in the ER the other day and still don't feel good
You worry about me staying up too late
And tell me, before you go to bed
To make sure that I don't stay up too late
When you're the one who is cold
You come to me with a pile of blankets
Even though it is you who is cold
And the same for when you're hungry
You come to me to ask if I'm hungry
Even if you know that I just ate
You worry about me choosing to walk alone
At night and in the dark
And you make me carry a flashlight because it makes you feel somewhat better
You turn the lights on
So that when I get home late from school
I am welcomed by light
And when I found out with morning confusion
That you were in the ER
That was when I got worried about you
Teacher of hope
You were dope
I need to remember you
Teach her of hope
You once opened a freshman’s locker without a nope
A long haired girl with blurry eyes, and a bright green backpack
Teach her of hope
She’s going to need it to cope
She has a famous blue sweatshirt
Teach her of hope
She knows now to hold on proudly, to the soap
I really hope you're right
Teach her of hope
That way all over she wont mope
You netter be right, I'm broke banking on it
Teach her of hope
Get yourself in her heavy cantaloupe
She thinks you’re wrong, that she’s a successor
Teach her of hope
Lead her towards the rope
Just don’t let that girl forget, what can be forgotten
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
