The biggest stage in the world

Come to our stage The biggest in the world Surrounded by the watchful eye Of peasants with day-to-day jobs Like the other celebrities We have money to spare One million down the drain Every single year We talk like the whole world's listening And indeed they are They can't quite get past our scheme It's not even that hard So come to our stage The grandest view from afar And sing to us Or dance to us You won't make it very far Talent doesn't exist Within the limits of this room You've got cancer though? Propelled through golden paper And let the janitors here Clean that **** up While we give you false hope And we sit on our ***** And we speak in our posh And we light up that x We are the evil We are the horrible We are the ugly, spiteful mess We've been doing this for years And like any other show This is your reality While you pay seven dollars for gas We fly first class To watch you Fail On the greatest stage Here at America's Got Talent

Don't wear that baggy sweatshirt Your curves look much better. Don't wear that crop top Your belly button doesn't need to be shown to the world. Don't wear sandals Show off your height. Don't wear platforms You're too tall. Why are you always reading? Go talk to people. Why are you so loud? Read a book or something. Tell me about your interests I never get to hear them. Get new hobbies These ones aren't suitable.

Whatever you do, it will never be right

Don't wear that baggy sweatshirt Your curves look much better. Don't wear that crop top Your belly button doesn't need to be shown to the world. Don't wear sandals Show off your height. Don't wear platforms You're too tall. Why are you always reading? Go talk to people. Why are you so loud? Read a book or something. Tell me about your interests I never get to hear them. Get new hobbies These ones aren't suitable.

I read books Because my mother handed me Tuck Everlasting When I was just young And she told me "I brought this book to law school. Only this book. And everyday, I read one page. And when I finished it, I read it again." I watch movies Because my father would sit on the couch And he would massage my hand And he would quote the lines to me "You can't handle the truth. Nobody puts Baby in the corner. I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." I sing in the shower Because my brother would scream his lyrics With the door locked tight His voice rang through the door, into the hall "Rolling in the deep, you had my heart inside your hand, and you played it to the beat." I don't drink soda Because a girl I once knew Couldn't stand the fizz She would put down anyone who liked it "I hate soda. The bubbles hurt my nose and tickle my throat. I only like juice." I am kind to others Because I was once voted "Kindest" In a first grade competition I write poems Because my creative writing teacher Gave participation points For putting your thoughts on paper I row crew Because I read a book And watched a movie And realized I have free will I wore beanies for an entire year Because a girl I had a crush on Looked stunning In her hats I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever loved Even for a moment Even for a heartbeat

The tragedy of caring so much About someone so special To be extra aware of every touch And feel the most when you’re close Only to be told You and her could never work You will not have her to brave the cold At last, you will be trapped

The Tragedy Of Unrequited Love

The tragedy of caring so much About someone so special To be extra aware of every touch And feel the most when you’re close Only to be told You and her could never work You will not have her to brave the cold At last, you will be trapped

What happened to those nights in the cabin Where we confessed our true thoughts We shared what we disliked We promised to separate ourselves from her But I guess I was the only one who kept my promise Because I see your photo dumps ***** you ran right back to her But ignore me, I guess I'm just "jealous" And you know what? After all this time After thirteen ******* months After over a ******* year I haven't reached out to her I see her, my god I see her I see her stares in the hallway I see her convince MY friends I'm in the wrong Oh you made a mistake, ******* Oh yes you did Oh when she destroys what you thought you built Oh when you run right back to me I'll tell you, oh I'll tell you I ******* told you I ******* promised I knew this would happen And I was smart enough to run away Away from the manipulation Although maybe I should've seen it happening After all, you're not too smart ______________________________________ I see your ex everyday We're pretty good friends now He gives no ***** about you I must say, I laugh at it You have this thing about you Where you drag people in And then you throw them aside Me and him, we got out of there quick I learned when I left her That she was changing who I was And I spent a literal year Figuring out who I truly was I hope that deep down you know She is not the victim She's the boy who cries wolf And one day the wolf will come And the wolf will not be you You'll be up on that hill with her And it will not be your lovers They'll be long gone The wolf will come And drag you off that hill And maul you And massacre you And when you rise up to the heavens I'll be waiting there With the head of the wolf And a ****** knife ______________________________________ Dear AM, I hate you. There, I said it. I used to love you. I loved you for eight years. I loved you so much, I turned into you. I adopted your wardrobe. How you talk, how you act. I adopted your personality, your identity. I stopped believing in ******* GOD because you didn't believe in god. I came out as gay, who's to say I am gay? I started using they/them, jeez man, I've always been a girl. I stopped having hobbies, because you were so boring. I would sit there as you belittled me and abused me. It wasn't just mental, I still have scars from when you dug your nails into my arm. You broke the ******* skin! And now, I don't talk to you, I don't smile at you. But you talk to my ******* friends? And for some reason, I can't talk about you. Cause they just go running to you. I was told "hey, I don't like it when you talk like that about her, can you maybe not?" Oh **** off, you'll see what it's like when you're graduating and you'll look in the mirror at your bleeding skin, and the wardrobe that doesn't suit you and you'll say "oh shit." So, AM. I hope you find this, man I hope you do. I hope you find this and you know how much I despise you. I hate that you're having fun, that you have friends, I hate how cool you look. I hate that you're so skinny. My god, A. You need to eat. Because I cannot go to your ******* funeral, and all your dear friends crying on my shoulder and asking me "do you miss her?" because I will, and I will hate it. Dear MW, You're just as bad as her. Most of this is about you. What happened to those days in the cabins? Where we stayed up late and we complained. And then we shared side eyes in the hallways and during class? I'm not innocent, no. I stalk your tiktok like any old friend would. I see the things you post about A. My god, you adore her. Do you still think about me? Or are you still mad about the time I told you Heated Rivalry was unrealistic? I remember when you told me that lesbians can't like **** cause it's like straight men liking lesbians. I bet you watch your funny little anime **** with A every weekend. Yeah, I know this is immature. But I am so so so ******* angry. Do you not see? This is your doing. And you should know, N ******* HATES you. And I LOVE him for it. Cause he is so, so right. You deserve to be hated, god you do. I hope you and A find peace together, and I hope you get the **** out of the relationships you're trapped in. Cause you're probably going to die at the ripe age of 25, just like you promised and you're going to expect A to talk you out of it and man, will she not. And I will mourn your death. I will mourn it for a **** long time but you know who won't? AM, because she doesn't. ******* care. And I'm not jealous. This is not jealousy. I just want you to know that I am so, so sick of this crap. I am going to find my people, and I will cut you off. I am getting the hell out of here. And you're going to be trapped at home, codependent as **** and you will have wished, you were the one that got the hell out.

I need somebody to love me To hold me And console me I don’t care if it’s platonic love Or romantic love Or familial love But I am actively destroying friendships Searching for that love And it’s hurting me more than helping There is one friend Who I hold so close And we laugh at the same things And the funny thing is I’ve known him for much less time Than I’ve known my other friends I’ve built this reputation around me Where I scream out “Don’t help me, nor comfort me” But really I beg someone, anyone To hold me

I need somebody to love me

I need somebody to love me To hold me And console me I don’t care if it’s platonic love Or romantic love Or familial love But I am actively destroying friendships Searching for that love And it’s hurting me more than helping There is one friend Who I hold so close And we laugh at the same things And the funny thing is I’ve known him for much less time Than I’ve known my other friends I’ve built this reputation around me Where I scream out “Don’t help me, nor comfort me” But really I beg someone, anyone To hold me

I am told I was depressed during quarantine Although I don't remember I don't think I truly was I was just alone I was not truly depressed For the first time I think I am Truly depressed And I don't mean it in a pick me way "Oh! I'm so depressed" For the first time I think I've forgotten how to feel I can't make myself smile I could blame others But really it's all my fault If you've been following my poetry You'll see who I wrote about It wasn't appreciation It was more obsession I really am sorry about it I RSVPd 'NO' to a team event I'm unsure why I suppose it was for sleep Though I'd rather have friends Than sleep I want to cry I think that's the only way to relieve myself But I can't I don't have the strength to do so I miss her, and she's not even gone "Can we just be friends?" No. Please no. Did I misread everything? No. Please no. I swear I'm not crazy. I'm sorry this happened to you To me I'm sorry that it was you And my doing I'm sorry it weighs down on you And you don't even know Because I will not tell

When sorting my poems into categories I have three main • All About Her • My Love For Cinema • Whatever Else Falls Between I have something to say about each I dedicate so much of my writing To the idea of you To the concept of your body To the thought of your brain And when we talk I catch you staring And I see the way you yearn too I promise I’m not crazy So why can’t you be bothered To respond to my text On a Friday night Am I not important Am I crazy? It gets better from here I’ve realized this past year How much of my personality Now revolves around film It’s almost overpowering I know so much about it But I take pride In having other personality The other day in class We were talking about being pregnant And the boy next to me got real excited He thought we were talking about some film Let me tell you, I cringed so hard The rest is a net that catches what falls I love to write Whoever decided that we should write Our thoughts, our dreams, our lives Really scored After a long day I have poetry After a happy day I have poetry After a fight I have poetry And not just poetry I have prose I write stories And scripts too This is a love note to everything I hold dear
