I have a friend
who's damaged to the bone
she holds knives in her chest
and worry on her breath
she swears the world
could swallow her whole
without a second thought
Little does she know
she's stronger the she's ever been
with a heart that's bulletproof
her armor grows each day
and with a mind that's curious
but striking
I swear the world would stop spinning
without her

when did we stop trying
to fight for what's right
we became
a nation
under turmoil
with no love and respect
for the cultured
we wash our sheets
bleach white
cleaning evidence
of our past conflicts
we chanted the words
of hatred
to those who showed love
and we drenched our nation
in dismay

I've become the worst poet,
you always seem to love my work
when the words aren't mine.
I've become the highest pushover,
I tend to take your unwanted advice
with a closed mouth and a lying nod.
I've become your vassal,
working my hardest to make all your days luminous
wondering why mine are so overcast.
I've become this ball of anxiety,
making sure you are calm and collect in life
while I am stricken with trepidation.
Most of all I've become a liar
for blaming it on you my whole life
when not once did I speak up the truth to you
or myself.

When did you escape
the spaces between
the blank feeling in my chest
and the weight I dragged
with my feet
Teach me how
to let go of the grip
the past troubles have
given me
let know its okay
to come home
Empty handed
and light hearted
I wanna walk into
my bedroom
and breathe in the
purest form of exemption
that has existed
in my life

Learn to forgive
the moments
where you aren't at your best
Learn to accept
each day as a new beginning
because yesterday is gone forever
Learn to love
the life
you were granted, there is only one
Learn to forget
The littlest of troubles
for they are only a fragment of
your happiest moments
Learn to live
this wonderful life
as if its your last day on earth
because it could be

How long did it take before you realized
you were searching for something
that was never lost
Did you travel the world
In search of something
that was always inside you
When you finally reached
the end of the earth.....
did you find a warm house
one that feels like home?
Or is it as cold as
the one
you were born in
Did you finally realize
filling the heart with temporary things
only leaves the mind to wonder
where your happiness has gone
