17 I am not a great poet, but then again I am barely anything anyway. / obrigada a todos :)
Have I gone and died or lost my heart in the sea of pities? Have I a reason to go further than I find to be lively and typical? Have the birds ever flown in such a way as if to crash so damaged wings may rest? Have we any healthy lungs that still breathe voluntarily despite their fixed routine?

Maybe
my head aches; perhaps I should sleep or eat, beyond that of the smaller scraps which I allow myself, I contemplate- who is telling me I have to wait? apprehension, for an unknown purpose there is so much out in the big world everything I have yet to be told, still, we could do it, and are not confined by the circumstances of your upbringing life is grand, and large to looming I may be frustrated and full of hatred but avoidance is possible so maybe peace is as well

I Don't Know
the context of a lie often dictates its entire existence or does it? does it matter why we say things, or how? are there really exceptions for bad behavior and if there are, then is anything really always bad?

Kant and Fletcher
he wants to come visit come visit? I say yes when? (I am hesitant) at the end of May okay... what's wrong? you don't want him to come? it's just that... he scares me (and I start to cry) I can understand that I don't really know why, he just- I don't like being around him either he's never done anything to me well that's good and I don't mean to be mean, but the things he has done are forever etched into my understanding; how do I say that I don't want to see him?

All I'd Have To Do (tw)
it's cold, frozen mud takes their footprints sun sets or rises in the distance those without limbs walk to the edge any who have them are scared half to death a brother is gone, a sister is beaten children eat anything they can sneak in sleeping's so tiring, when will it end going home isn't so lovely again because hardly any will, you know their tracks start fading when falls the snow freezing, starving, screaming and bleeding women are taken for torture and breeding I'd like to applaud the leaders of nations and what pleasant wars you're deploying; good gracious.

I Don't Usually Write About War
the bell tolls oh my; what a big and scary world I don't know much and no one will tell me definitively, what to do with the feelings I feel after all, is everyone not just a child, but in the body of responsibility? I am

Kid
Who am I kidding? I know it's just me. It always has been and always will be, and yet, I wish to understand I want a new feeling When is it my turn to be a human being? Why is it always the end before I even begin I shouldn't complain; aware of my sins, but please, I don't even know if you're there still, oh God on high, send some way to tell me really who am I?

Mirror
when I hear noises downstairs I always assume the worst and I am surprised when I travel down the steps, only to find that my mother has not been crying the tv is just on and all is well but feels so wrong
