RedLightWriting - Hello Poetry

While doing my laundry with dish soap surrounded by sticky tape littered in flies I wonder if Jesus walked a mile in my shoes What he would react like? Would he smile & wave & hold back his tears Would he scrub out all of the blood stains Or would he just throw it all away Would he take down all of these flags & put up Anarchy ones instead? Would he DM a girl? Would he accept the world? For what it really is, Or try & make it new? Would he make the correlation That we walk on soil filled with sin That was broken down from the core Of the forbidden fruit? Nothing is nice My life isn’t okay. Would Jesus keep on pushing or, Resurrect my sister & take her place? That’s a trade that I’d be willing to take; While knowing that I’ll own up to these words One day.

As I slowly become an afterthought; the winds pick up & change. I pray that you fail in every love that you touch &, karma finds you one of these days.

Wake; There’s a heartbeat in my head. ******* lines my nose &, There’s an angel in my bed. “My Views From the Bottom”

Go ahead; Break me down. Become the reason that I never come around. Go ahead; Cut my throat Leave & take what matters the most. /// I was told once; “Be right with God & all things will pass” & although I’ve never taken this stance It appears to be all that I have. So Broken, sick &, poor, My god I turn to you. Walk with me in my valley of death & be the rays that guide me thru.

The Dr. said that I'm not doing okay I replied, "What is that?". Then he shrugged his shoulders & dropped some change into my hat. See me as the garbage; The tarnished stain that's turning green from oxidation. When really I've just opened my eyes to hear the lies from my heavily medicated nation. My tattoos say that I cant find work My felonies say that I'll die in prison. I was hospitalized for mental health conditions three separate times when I was 13. /// Dear Mom, I was only being a kid. I never thought that talking back; would take any chance for my life to be lived. You made me an addict before I had a chance to say No to drugs. I am the product of a war against the ghetto & all I did was play with bugs.

That awkward moment when you think, maybe you weren't meant to travel so much. When no matter where you end up, all that you can think about is one place. The problem occurs when the only person that you can think about isn't in that place. 6 from 1 &, half a' dozen from another. My life steps back from time; Into a void without my lover. Bring me back to life; Take me from the weeds. My world is solid brown; When it used to be so green.

Some days go quicker than others Some hours can last all day Every minute you're on my mind With a break down seconds away.

Some days When I wake up My glass is half full. Some days When I wake up My glass is half empty. /// Tonight Before bed I threw it against the wall. Tomorrow When I wake up I’ll realize that was plenty.

I heard that if you gaze into a fire That it will begin to gaze back into you So locked inside a cell I picked up a book & proved that theory to be true. /// I also heard that where you die Depends on the floor in which you crawled However this I’ve proved is false My first steps were in a home With roaches on the walls

Today I saw a human That used to be a stranger Until we realized that through each other We could dissect our inner angers So piece by piece We sat together & picked my brain apart Until I found out that it started During the first trimester when I evolved & grew a heart /// (My attempt at describing the way that I interpret life) -Imagine the broken plate haiku- I’ll be the plate & the world can be the spite That shattered me on the floor Just to get me out of sight Only this time the “sorry” Actually brings me back to life But each time a piece is missing & it’s on repeat for every night.
