I'll take my own experience,
Wrap it up and tie it in a bow.
I'll take all the things I've felt,
Make it poetic and put it in a show.
I will build walls around my heart,
Then talk about how roses bloom in the cracks.
And I'll tell them how you kisses me where you punched,
But never tell them I punched back.
I will write monologues about the sky
And how it reminds me of your hair
Or perhaps a sonnet
About how I never really cared.
I'll take my abandonment issues and sob stories
Into the palm of my hand
Then crush it into stardust
And try to be the sea glass in a beach full of sand
But no matter how many
Metaphores or analogies I create
I can make words beautiful
But never my feelings fake.
We are poets stuck in a cycle,
Blooming blossoms that never change.
We are artists making art
Out of the beauty of pain.

She walks by,
Holding her breath
Everything crashes in,
Longing for escape.
Later it gets by the minute,
Only then might she stop,
Forever she has been walking,
And only now she feels tear drops.
Greater her pain is than before,
In her heart it’s swells like a storm,
Running towards the edge,
Leaping off, she is no more.

The girl with a sense for justice
Along with two red eyes
She looks to you as the leader
But you cannot guide her
The girl with clear, teal eyes
Sisters, you are
Until revenge takes it's toll
Now you're the scourge
The girl with twisted feelings
You take her hate and corrupt it
So she can see again
But only see black
The girl with a wicked smile
You help build a legacy
And friendship, even more
Blows to dust
The girl who can control not her feelings
But the mind she sees
And then tears roll out
Onto her necklace of pyrope

You sat outside,
Cigarette in hand,
And told me the stories of life.
You told me the things,
No one dared to tell,
And blow that smoke into the air.
You cigarette *****
You showed me that beautiful
Was the scars on skin,
And the dope in veins.
You took the shine in my eyes,
And sold it for your dose.
Talk to me three months ago
And I would of said how much I hated Cigarette Smoke.
But nights get lonely,
And tears will fall,
And I still stand alone.
I put people through ****
They threw me away,
And when I asked for help it was a nope.
Now in the night sky,
I still see your eyes
And find comfort in cigarette smoke.

Don't fall in love with my style,
Or the way I wear my hair.
Don't fall in love with my scars,
Or the makeup I might wear.
Don't fall in love with my skin,
Or my lack of self care.
Fall in love with my voice,
When I'm in awe or fright.
Fall in love with the poetry,
I choose to read and write.
Fall in love with my eyes,
Even if they dim and fade.
And save me from my demons,
And the heart they roughly played.
Just fall in love with me,
And the way I live.
This is all I can be,
And it is all I will give.

I used to tell people how much
I wanted to be someone new,
And tear off my skin
Through and through,
But it was only after I started to bleed
Did people see my truth.

it's not like
i want to love you
anymore
but not loving you is a war
with my memories of you
at the front of the field.
and you can only fight in a war
for so long

The best feeling in the world
Is reading
A poem
That speaks to your soul.
That drags out the most unknown parts of your being,
And settles them
In your heart
And puts that sparkle
In your eyes.
And yet,
It will leave you unsettled.
As you hang there,
With all these feelings
That you could never put a name to.

There is a small town
On the side of the road
Where the stars are holograms
And the people glow
Come and stay
Have a piece of pie
And just ignore the strings
Attached to the people from the sky
Come to a town
Where Aliens walk free
There always room
For you three.
Just don't look behind you
And shut the door
Put on your tinfoil hat
And ignore the screams galore
There is a small town
On the side of the road
Just outside of the governments reach
Where you realize you aren't alone.

We sway and turn
Letting tears fall
To the floor of ever-lasting love.
For you may say,
Not today
But you feel anyway.
Lyrics crowd your head,
As there colors spill out of your mind,
Dripping out of your pores and soaking into your spine.
It's is such a lonely world
You think
As you watch your breath swirl in the cold air
It is all to much
You think
As you stand on this stage playing with your hair.
Sometimes it is to much
To face the people you love,
and sometimes it is to much
To face the people you have outgrown.
But this is a school dance,
And while your touch may send shocks in my heart
I will never break my walls
And give into the sick game.
So let's up just sway and turn
