16/Rochester, NY the world halts when the poet speaks
My closet is glass, Therefore holds no skeletons within But the glass is tinted One must smash the glass in order to discover what is within. I never expected that person to be me. I just wanted to figure out who I was on the inside, I wasn’t aware it was going to cause everlasting damage to my closet, To my soul

My Closet Is Glass
I saw that text one night. I read every line over and over again I can’t believe you said that I thought of the best way to respond I was honest with you Though my message was shorter, I meant every word Once it sent, I blocked you On everything. You wanted nothing to do with me Why should you know about me? I heard what you told our friends one day. I was told over and over again I can't believe you said that You wanted me to be scared You wanted me to change You cried to them saying that’s what you wanted to happen Life isn’t fair I meant every word We were done. There was nothing you could do I know about the things you said about me. You repeated them over and over again I knew what you were going to do You tried to paint me the bad guy Make the fallout seem like my fault What happened to you saying you would **** yourself without me? How come saying you were done with me painted me as the terminator? Life isn't fair You should know that by now Actions have consequences If you didn’t want me to leave, You shouldn’t have reacted the way you did You apparently told someone what you were going to send before you did You told my friend since preschool They sided with you I’ve known them my whole life They’ve known you for not even two years Life isn’t fair I should know that by now But it still hurt I saw that text one night. And I hate to admit it, But I cried

That Text
I stare at the lonesome creature in the mirror; The dull blue eyes share stories, But they will never be told again. The sickly pale skin yearning for the light, The cracked lips that remained in a frown, Limbs that looked out of place, Hair that was wild in the worst way, The clothes that felt like they never fit, Was this who I was supposed to be?

The Mirror
Blood stains the hands of the guilty a nauseous crimson. From first contact, To the last breath, Remains no emotion Beneath their fine skin Turning a sickly gray From the chaos within a human, To their ability of empathy We are no different from the animals We also have a purpose But one must not be afraid of theirs For as long as we live, We are controlled by someone Unknown or known to us. Their grasp on reality isn’t as strong as ours, For that’s why we are above them

Humanity
I look at her standing in front of me; Her eyes are empty and dead, It reminisces her soul. I break down seeing her, It’s my fault she’s like this, I am not who she wanted me to be, I wish I can go back and fix my mistakes. I let the tears roll down my pale cheeks. Her face hold no emotion, The is no string tying her down to earth, I’m afraid she’s going to float away, Out of my grasp, And I won’t see her again. I wish she can know how much she’s loved. Her frame is slumped, I feel nothing but guilt. It’s all my fault. She didn’t deserve this. Neither did I, But this isn’t about me, What’s done is done, But I wish she could have it better. She thinks it’s all hopeless, I want to scream that it isn’t, I know she can’t hear me, I’m watching her from a distance, As invisible force keeping me from her. I want to hug her, Whisper to her that everything’s going to be okay, But I can’t. What’s done is done. So take me home to the life I wish I could change.

Her
I recall the little white house, With the navy porch It stood next to the gray house that was once green That big maple tree resided in the back The inside was spacious The ceilings reached the sky Up the carpeted stairs, There’s a little room That room had memories, That will forever remain inside the walls The tears the remained in the floors, The screams in the ceilings, But the hope through the doorway

Home
As the gods spew their inchor across the sands of time, The ones who were deemed unworthy must revolt Leaving nothing but ash and dust in the path of those who deserve it Once the world comes to a halt and the flames subside, There will only be room for improvement of society as we know it. So don't be afraid if your knife is dull, For once what was broken mustn’t be fixed, Instead given new purpose if all what was given We are the ones worthy of fame and fortune, Yet the time for us to reign hasn’t rose like the sun But one must watch the moon leave in order to obtain sight of the sun Us too want nothing more that power Tyranny has left its ****** hands on our backs, Giving support to the blind New doors await on the other side Yet no one dares to take the leap We are cowards among the gods If we want to keep our heads, We must let go of our souls But keep your courage, For that is the strongest thing of all

Tyranny of Us
The hands on the clock reflect nothing more than  a concept My hands aren’t meant to keep everything on a schedule My bones don’t bend like the rest The eye of the world doesn’t see its flaws With the light fading, As everything stills, I realized something. Maybe I wasn’t cut out for living But I know better than to give up. I don’t face danger head on, The use of my mind will get me by, Because I can’t be reckless, My life is on the line, And I play a fair game. So when my pawn becomes a king, and I obtain power, I will dominate in my field of life The flowers around will bloom, And the earth will course through our veins. For my casket will be bare until I decide I’m going to reside I will find a new place to call home in the meantime, But when I watch the moon fall, The tears will follow For I stand in my wake, Of a stream I have yet to experience.

The Game of Life
Heat and hearth give birth to the pain of the people Burning down whatever was created Blowing away the ash left behind from memories The wind whispering tyranny into the ears of the leaders Portraying violence among the people we once called friends The understandings of a mind get burned Causing strain in society There is no more room for hope The noose is around our necks We are getting whipped into place One foot out of line and we’re gone The fear coursing through our veins should be replace with anger Anger towards those who wrong us The ones who decide what we can and can’t do The ones who say they’re doing it in the name of God Well, I hate to break it to you There is no God, There is no one coming for us except ourselves

The Government Left No Hope
As if our stars were crossed Our fate was left in the cruel hands of the gods Slowly compiling us into madness. For as the gods stand, We are the ones they look down upon. For that is why we change the course of history To feel alive. Something the gods will never feel
