Mercury - Hello Poetry

I have my eyes closed so I can't see the world It's burning and in pieces I don't like looking at it I don't care if there are good things in the fire The smoke hurts my eyes and my lungs My mother says to open my eyes My father tells me the fire is gone My friend hugs me and says the world is okay How do I know I can trust them? It takes a struggle It takes a fight But they pull my hands away from my teary eyes The sun stings my eyes for a while But then... The world is better than I left it Flowers and bugs Colors and happiness I wish I had opened my eyes sooner

Eyes

I have my eyes closed so I can't see the world It's burning and in pieces I don't like looking at it I don't care if there are good things in the fire The smoke hurts my eyes and my lungs My mother says to open my eyes My father tells me the fire is gone My friend hugs me and says the world is okay How do I know I can trust them? It takes a struggle It takes a fight But they pull my hands away from my teary eyes The sun stings my eyes for a while But then... The world is better than I left it Flowers and bugs Colors and happiness I wish I had opened my eyes sooner

My head is so foggy I can't think at all It's stupid, I shouldn't whine about it... But since you're here....... I haven't had motivation I haven't had my spark I haven't had my voice I haven't had my head to myself These clouds have made my head their home I hate it up here But I think I'll be ok The sun will come back soon I think it's already peaking through...

I'm afraid of Wasps They sting and buzz Their legs give me the ick I'm afraid of Needles They poke and burn I can't look at one without feeling dizzy I'm afraid of Tight Spaces I hate feeling trapped When the walls close in, I lose my breath I'm afraid of Loud Noises They make my brain rattle A pop or a bang makes me want to cry I'm afraid of Failure I don't wanna let them down I just want them to stay Fears. I've had all of these since I was small... What do I do now that the thought of dying scares me less and less?

I go from being too much... To not enough... My heart is so torn My soul is now hollow The world feeds me venom and I'm forced to swallow Its taste is so bitter Its bottle, so cold This whole routine is getting real old My hands shake with rage My heart sinks with sorrow "Happy anniversary!" I know you'll leave me tomorrow Leave me alone! I wanna be held! I don't know why I can't come out of my shell! Is this hell? Is this hell? Happy anniversary... He left.

Fighting Screaming Boys *** No No NO! I'm tired of your face popping up in my head! I'm tired of tasting the foul flavor of your tongue! I'm tired of feeling like a coward for not doing anything Thinking it's normal... "It's normal for an 18-year-old guy to want to date a 13-year-old!" NO, IT'S NOT! The fighting and screaming and fighting and screaming and fighting... SHUT UP! Why did you take all my comfort away? What did I ever do to you? Why did I have to find out my feelings about *** like this... Why are boys so ***** So stupid? Or am I the stupid one? For falling for your obvious lies... For ignoring every BLARING red flag... No... I wasn't stupid I was just 13... I don't need to feel guilty I don't need to feel dumb I was young I was just 13 I was just 13 I was just 13 I was just 13 Just 13 Just 13 Just 13 13 13 13 13 I hate you.

Its wings were so pretty! Its colors so bright! It took my eyes on a mystical flight They started to yell "Get outta the clouds!" I snap back awake They called me a clown Why can't I do it like everyone else? Why is my brain so scattered? Why is this so hard? Oops! I forgot to rhyme... Sorry!

There was a bird A bird with bright feathers He won the love of many He won the love of all Each color Each feather A stolen treasure From someone else who loved him There was a bird A bird with dark feathers She once was as bright as him She once was brighter than him He stole her color Causing her shame Causing her loss The colorless bird sat on her own Singing her beautiful songs on a wire Her call drew many to her Many others Who had their colors stolen All together Their colors returned Stolen back from the thief Don't let anyone steal your color Don't let any **** birds steal your pretty feathers
