The sun flies bright
Yet my mind is dim
The sky glows clear
Yet my thoughts are cloudy
The flowers smell sweet
Yet my words are bitter
It's a beautiful day
Yet my heart is hurting
Alexa Sangren Apr 2019
The ordinary
Becomes the extraordinary
When the visionary
Depicts the good

Why am I always
Silver to her gold
The subtle, not the bold
Second in your heart
Alexa Sangren Dec 2018
I rhyme best when I'm in agony
When words fly smoothly on my lips
And barely graze my consciousness

Before they bloom, with no second thought
To writer or emotions alike
I rhyme best when I don't think

When trust is broken, shattered
I pick up the pieces
Melt them with the fires of my hurt
I recreate the destruction
After so long, the fire is extinguished
I can't be hurt by you
Trust stays, on the floor
I leave the pieces as you left them
Alexa Sangren Dec 2018
Is it even worth trying to talk when I'm
Walking behind all my "friends" on the sidewalk
None of you ever asks how I've been
Always pushed to the side again and again
I'm not sure who I am or what I stand for
I just know- I don't belong here anymore.
Alexa Sangren Dec 2018
One day, I spoke the truth
You called me a liar
Truly, I am one
I lied for seven years
Every day before today
Hiding the truth to save face
Both mine and your own
I guess grief changes you
Because after all this time
Something snapped
I sacrificed everything I've worked for
To save the few who you affect
You have reputation on your side
But still, I spoke out
And I stand today here to tell you
Every word was worth it
