18/F/Seattle I never claimed to be a poet, yet still I write
My best friend turned 18 today And instead of cake, he looked away He thought of thoughts he couldn't admit Zombie sung by Karoline Leavitt History taught us anger Is best thrown in the harbor But when you know the people War is so much harder I wish the world could his eyes Bright blue and heavy before a cry And he faces upwards towards the sky "Will I go to heaven when I die"

Rough Draft
I just wanted to say happy birthday To the man I never knew enough He was my sunshine; I was his sunshine Before the starlight turned it off I remember the days he held me and cried And his mug trembling in his hand I remembered my grandmother's tired faces And my father's first time being a man Nothing felt heavier than when the sky took him And the airplanes circled through the air And even though I never believed in God I felt his presence there And Everytime I think of the man who left my arms to soon I remember the adorable things he loved: Planes, cookies, the moon And it doesn't matter how it took you Nor the strange conclusions we draw I just wanted to say I miss you And, Happy Birthday Grandpa

I Just Wanted To Say
Hello, my name is Ocean. Yes the Ocean, yes you're home. The one who provides the wine, Your life, your corazon. And yes, I've watched your ships As they've strolled across my surface. And yes, I've watched the oils spills, terrified and nervous. Yet, I still wave at your children: Their palms full of sand. And I smile at your innocents, Whom live on the land. But the sky and I watch the pollution. That pollution which makes her weep. And I watch it **** my fish and coral, And round my waves it seeps. So forgive me if I cause a storm That knocks over your buildings. Forgive the sky for passing by, Weeping on your weddings. Forgive the land for shaking, Knocking bodies to the floor. We never meant to hurt your people But we've never felt this pain before

Your Ocean
Fifty percent of memory is changed Only 3 years after it happened So when I look back and I see my friends Their face face and person: forgotten So how am I who I am When who I was is a lie How am I supposed to live When I can't trust my mind

Who I Was
It shattered into a million pieces Shot daggers through my heart My brother and his anger Watched his whole life fall apart Bruised, broken, battered the moon shone it's beam Shot arrows off the glass Aimed it's bow right at me Silence stood in place Where once their was a clatter His ghost a solemn gray A mug; my brother - shattered

Here With Me
I know I can't help them So why do you try Why do you spend hours Awake at night Why do you tremble Why do you scream The pain isn't yours It's not what it seems You stand there alone Starfish in hand You try and and throw far But it stays on the land Your arm becomes sore Your heart becomes tired Even your conscious Is no longer wired You're breaking alone Deathbeds begun But everything's worth it If I can save one

My Story of the Starfish
A child: so happy Each day to day She smiles 400 times And each one stays An adult: so broken if happy then empty But the times we smile Average to twenty

Fourth of July?
Mirror mirror on the wall Reflect my sorrows reflect them all And when I cry when I scream Reflect the way I think of me Mirror mirror on the wall Reflect the way in which I fall But catch my teary eyes in sight My eyes of gold reflect the light

Pretty when I cry
Look at me I'm beautiful Just don't look at my face Or my body or personality Or any of my mistakes Just Look at me I'm beautiful But don't look at anything I've done Anything I despise and hate Just to earn your love look LOOK I'm beautiful Just look at anything which I've dealt But it's hard to say I'm beautiful When I can't love myself
