Many inquire why I'm so sadistic
Cold blooded
Callous
Barbarous
By this point, I'm sure your insufficient minds ponder who or what I am
Once you find out, you will surely be ******

I live in everyone, but only appear when the time is right
Many dread when I blacken their light

I eat souls for breakfast, prey on the weak
I often leave my companions with a streak

What am I? You ask
And I will tell
*i am death that dwells

Walking down the street
I noticed
A woman began to weep

She dropped her heart
It had turned cold and black
Tears rolling as it fell apart.

She tried to reassemble the pieces she could find
While the sidewalk swallowed it whole
I noticed that she was now blind

Do you remember what God said to you child?
When you were conceived?
Before your parents knew...

I remember now, he whispered. His voice sounding of the forceful ocean,
But as nectarous and consoling as a summer breeze
*Be love child, BE love.

Yesterday I was blue
Today I am yellow
She was orange
So very mellow

Their bodies were green
Faces of blue
They watched as we kissed
While they only wished
Emma Sinclair Feb 2015
And I wish I could've seen you. Posing next to the roses

but I should finish the spanish homework I never started

And I wish I could've seen you. Kissing each other on your noses.

but I just ran that red light

And all I know is how to forget
how to walk
how to talk

Where do I live? Where will I stay?
can I come home with you? Oh please say yes, I don't mean to bother...

Did you know you were playing tag with time
And the game was rigged

you lost

I'm so sorry. I wish I could've been at the game
I would've pulled and tugged
stop the universe

You didn't know
and neither did i

The devil won this time
i promise I promise I'll make it up to you
I'll store your photographs
Make you new

*I'll make all the other stars wish they were you

They cried when I was a child
Their eyes would burn with resentment  
i was exquisite

They laughed when I was a teenager
Their stomachs overflowing with glee
i was grotesque

So I tried to be...
Smart
Stupid
Funny
Outgoing
Shy

Then I....
Lied
Starved
Cheated
Bullied
Betrayed
Hurt

Daughter, don't you see? The world will always hate you; you are competition.
Why?
I didn't want to compete
Didn't want to win the race
Didn't want a gold medal
Didn't want to be first

You are competition because you are alive.
You have fire in your eyes
Flowers in your hair
Sun in the darkest of your eyes

I was a brilliant fish swimming in the ocean, against the tide.
Why?
Because only dead fish follow the current
This poem sums up the last couple years of my life. I'm finally happy:) (and most importantly) myself.
