“It’s not real” “There is nothing wrong with you” Just a damp floor where I laid for a while “You don’t have any bruises” “It’s not real” “None of your bones are broken” Only my head is pounding like a drum in an inconsistent beat “Take some aspirin” “It’s not real” “I don’t see any blood” Can’t move I’m suffocating It cannot stop “Just go out and taste fresh air” “It’s not real” “You’re such an attention seeker” Only, Its’s cold, the dark wood keeps me company “Stop Imagining things” “It’s not real” “you’re getting annoying” This tinge of pain will both set us free “Just stop thinking this way” The sun kisses goodbye The cold engulfed the entirety. We lost another breath. “She was just over reacting.”

What they say
Never ending stories come out of my mouth Yet never what I really feel. Surprising surges of happiness overcome my being Then endless rivers flow from my eyes. Love is what I give away to everyone around me Acceptance is what I wish to gain back. All the smiles and laughs surface from my skin When deep inside an unshaken fear haunts me My hands a comforting touch to other people They only claw at myself when I’m alone Spreading positivity is what I pride myself in Bottling up all the fear and insecurity is what I am good at.

Two Faced
Purple and fuzzy, somewhat unruly Sitting comfortably atop the bed. It’s missing a nose, it’s missing an eye It’s covered in patches with a loose thread Its ribbon is gone. It’s tattered and torn. It’s been hugged, It’s been thrown, yet he’s not dead. He’s often replaced, left out in the rain But he is there when you have all the feels He’ll stay right here, He’ll share your company Like the neglected Best Friend that he is.

Teddy Bear
On a dark, dank desolated street pavement Stands a street lamp. Made to guide those in need of the light. Groomed to be brave, fearless and unwavering Manufactured specifically to be aids In the dark times that the city faced. Served its purpose in the many years it stood Lighting the way for cars as best as it could. It shone for carriages, for kings and queens Keeping them from harm whilst vesting the unknown It shone for great leaders in the front line of their battles Served as a safety sign for everyone at night. In recent times it’s started to flicker On and off and on and off and on and off it goes While the mist in the streets grow thicker No longer did it hold its eminent glow Neck seemingly bent unlike it’s natural curve Once flawless skin covered in blotches of dirt and rust Its wires exposed, veins pressed against the skin No more muscle or fat hide it Vandalized by the impurities this world had to offer Seemed as though it’s the people it kept safe that turned on it He deserved a better way to die. Not buried in forgotten memories and set aside It served a great purpose in the hopeless tears that everyone shed in the dark Now uprooted and thrown in the junkyard More or less to be used like scrap metal like the rest of its kind.

Street Lamp
It was January when I met you February when we kissed March was the time it was all full of bliss April we went to the beach together May i took you home to meet my mother June we walked in the park everyday July we went and watched the parade play August was our first serious fight September you stopped coming over at night October I asked if we were okay November it was freezing everyday December we went our separate ways It is January and I met you again today

One year relationship
I wonder where i would be , wonder if somehow or maybe. Where the world would have took I who was too afraid to look would I be in space on planet mars? be floating above, up there with the stars? Look beneath the big blue waves beneath the sand or inside the caves. the sound of my heart lost to comfort big in regrets and deeply encumbered blue, it is stagnant in it's hollow waves crashing against it ready to swallow For I regret not having been curious. I forsake the days i settled for less regret not having followed adventure not finding myself in the process. having wasted my time with such adult ways been ****** into their incurious gaze curious was I before those days. Myself, who are you, i will never know who is this person who gave up on tomorrow are all my hopes now gone like how curiosity left me? you have given up hope to ever find glee? I sit among the "what if" shadows will I ever really find my purpose? never will i get back the time I have lost know I will make up for it at any cost Everyday I will search not a moment I will waste I will rush into the coming days with haste will I have ample time to ever find me? search I shall with all leniency. not a storm so large will make me sway a large pay check will not take me away moment I find myself I will say "I am greater than I am yesterday" will I find what i am looking for? waste no time I am ready for more.

First Word
I've decided to get over you decided I won't play this game anymore To rid myself of the fond memories that keep me holding on get these thoughts of our happy ending out of my head. over all this nonsense, I really am. you never saw me the same way. I know it will be hard know that i will have to interact with you everyday it is something unavoidable to people in the same friendship circle will I be able to do this, be strong and firm in my decision to let it go? hard as it is I have decided to get over you. It is going to take a while is all of this easy? No not at all. going back and forth and fall all over again if very frustrating. to suffer so much anxiety and be all over the place again. take my feelings away already I don't want them anymore. a cycle of falling again and forcing myself to move on. while hard to end, I've decided to get over you. And I am not over you yet though I wish I was. am I? I don't think so. not always in the best position as i am over acting making excuses. you probably think i am just avoiding you, which is partly true yet my friends are your friends and pulling away is not easy to do though I've decided to get over you But I will soon enough. I am going to scream with joy of getting over an us that never was will I shed a lot of tears though? I probably will but soon the pain will subside and I will get my way because enough is enough, I've decided to get over you.

I am terribly afraid of burning to death and I am not very keen on freezing either So if i would choose I would probably choose neither. or if the world had to perish in any manner I wish to be dead before any encounter

Fire and Ice, None Please
It is not what they built. all our cities, twin cities? When far away an interrupted cry! I know enough of hate To say that for destruction It is what you have forgotten.

Have we forgotten?
We all admire them in our own way Those Beautiful Blooming Bright Blue Bells in vases. Them Rich Rampant Red Roses scattered in the fields. All of them with such sweet smells Ever rich Ever Enticing Everblooms I put out on the window sill Odorous Ominous Orange Orchids you lay atop that cold tombstone. But like all living things return to the ground Death Devours Dainty Flowers. Wilting wastefully within glass cases, Withering Waning in the wild. For as much as we try As pretty as they may be All flowers die Like the love you promised me.
