March 4, 2015 - One of the first poems I’ve written!
I’m from half built tree houses
And vicious snow ball fights.
The one who gets to the sled first wins,
And the blasting of music to strangers.
I’ve seen the top of mountains
And felt the bottom of rivers.
Screaming, “MARK!” at signs, and
“Fluffy!” at strangers.
The bruise on the thigh that will never heal
And the obnoxious air that fills the place.
The crushing trees that are in it for blood
To the cat stuffed in a wooden box in the basement.
I’m from the alarms and the gummy bear stuck on the fan.
Haunted radios and jello in the fridge.
From knowing what I’m saying when I’m not saying much
To the rabbit foot key chain in the old rotten box.
I’m from the snapped and twisted,
The stubbed and burned,
Leafing and dead family tree,
That I am proud to call my own.

Stagnant kisses linger longer
High and bright on movie screens
Glassy eyes in jars, and secret scars
Blushing vibrant blues and greens
Here lies scattered static stillness
Where dullness drizzles to the bone
Dreams catch and crush lonely reality
The world of which is home sweet home
Fear flies fondly from my throat
A soft, strange sister speaks to me,
Beyond beginning and breathing, will be
Always another adverse anxiety

A sleep so damn peaceful she doesn't even dream

Your clumsy hands have
Slit my passion’s throat,
Right down the jugular
A crisp straight line,
A road that leads to
My dying mind’s eye
A black hole now
No thanks to you
Or to the girl you prefer
With words like honey
Simple and sweet
So you can understand
No tricks up her sleeve,
But oh, my words confuse
Your simplistic mind
Like a child
Too meaningful and
Full of emotion
Too raw for your
Shrinking ideologies
Open your stupid little eyes
So you can see
The world I have painted
In your shadow

I have nothing to lose but my wounds.
