I'm 14 years old. I have been through a lot, and I love to write.
Dear Bliss, Some day I feel as I I may be able to write an ecstatic poem Of abstract hues Of shimmering light Avoiding the blues Avoiding the fright Dear faith, Some day I feel as if I may be able to write a hopeful poem Of curious faith Of embracing hope Avoiding struggling fate Avoiding chiseled rope Dear Me, Myself, and I Some day I feel as if I may be able to tip toe Across the ash Without burning my calloused feat. Some day

Dear...
The sweet taste of the warm tsunami brought a smile to my lips It left a bubbly moustache, surrounding the mishap peach fuzz above my lip Suliva also clung And I held onto it so Don't let go of me Lie with me in the snow You can sing a soft tune That's all I needed to know When your soft lips pressed against me A lingering feeling crept up on me HOPE I will take it and run with it

Turtle
I'll regret zipping up the back of her skinny, white dress I'll regret watching her walk down the aisle, one again I'll regret watching her latest lover Hanz Taint her lips with a snobby, rich kiss I'll remember her chanting words he said "I'm a disappointment ..." I'll remember her laying in bed all day "Want a smoke?" She'd crazily choke out I know I shouldn't live In the future or past But there's nothing left to turn to No happiness will ever last I will try hard to be normal Careless, not meaningful But my thoughts jumble up And I'm labeled an *** A snobby rich kid spat on me today "You look like the kind of boy who shops at Glitters." Oh really? That makes me feel great "The last time I was in Glitters my mother had a seizure." He also decided to call me a nerd Reminding me of the boy last week who called me, "That gay one." Everything, all of it, is my "mothers" fault I don't want to be something I am not But what I'm not is what I need to be If only my mother would give it some thought To **** herself already, I hope you rot

Why "Mother"
She had the habit To shove her fingers Down her raw throat Re-flexing her repetitive gag Her imperfect eyes, beginning to sag I asked her what if... We had a second chance Belt up your baggy pants I can feel two sides of me Ripping my unsteady being apart Your craziness drove me insane as well You are still this way A child with no words could tell I can't help but repent on the past In the back of my mind I listen to you yell No blink of happiness will ever last I watched a boy hug his mother Their smiles outshine the tips of damp grass How I would die to be him To feel something within That faint spark of joy To wrap your arms around the one you love I wished we had that for each other, mother Will we have it above?

Anorexia At Its Worst
"Shut the **** up Or rot in Hell" I shrieked at my mother As she scolded me Her oblivious, furious stare Making my broken heart unaware I triggered it She's going insane She wouldn't let go of my arm "Tell him to come back here" She choked at my father I saw the Devil in her eyes Pure craziness Disgust and despise Why won't she get out of my life I have nothing left inside It took my life not to scream "You're the reason my life was Hell then and the reason it's Hell now" What else do you call Waking up in your life To feed your torn down mother Seeing divorce papers in sight Only then she decided to hold down supper You tried to yank me from my fathers arms An unknown protection A belt with great harm I am starting to think Calling you mother is wrong You don't own the title And you don't own me now Please swallow one more thing for me ...A bottle full of pills Leave my sorrow soul be

Insanity
His wails put a knife to my chest He can't comprehend the world Where his mother went Why his father is never to be seen Why his family is struggling Why strangers are so mean Why school is frustrating Why danger is obscene His smile jammed the knife deep down His mother is trying to get back up But the only thing coming back up Is her delayed dinner He can't express himself Without making a scene He just wants to be normal His normality is aware to me His struggle pulled the knife out I tell him that I love him I laugh at his jokes I pull his legs into bed at night I check on his medication I-I-I How self centered I am I need to try harder, stop his confused cries His future helped me close my eyes Say good night to the helpless This strange little boy That I describe in this rhyme He is my brother Can't even tell the time But he can stand tall When the world decides to fall

Autism
My words to you Always silenced by me I starve them at the tip of my tongue The same you did, when you were young Not with your words, but with your food I'm begging you, keep your sanity Stay on your feet, a little longer for me Or I will lift off mine, and onto a rope in your purple tree I'm grieved with a lonely absence The silence cannot set me free Only your shriveled touch The one I never see You told me not to worry So worry I had not You told me you would get better And better you had not I only wish you understood I would love you, if I could I lie under your purple tree A rope in my hand A weary kid at ease No longer on his worn down knees To hang myself In your purple tree

Mother's Purple Tree
What will you say When he stops breathing Take the blame Form a lie Watch your torn children fall in line Forget about him Hide the tragedy Let your teething guilt eat you alive? Wait, I forgot mother Do you ever eat? Where did you go? You're what I need I yearn for a real mom To tuck me in To play a game, let me win I'm a victim of your heartbreaking sin Your starving toll to death Became my triumphant downfall People say I'll be okay But what was the Devils price to pay? A slap on the wrist A depressed kid Ending his life Not wishing he never did

Your Son
I Want To Forgive You, But What Is Left To Forgive With? I have nothing left Where is my apology? Your starving life was only theft I have nothing left I'm not sorry I do not love you Who was to declare, what was right and wrong? I know it wasn't you Help

Forgiveness
What do you feed the wind? I told her she looked lovely Her ribs plastered on the outside of her body Mother was the wind, complete perfection Only one flaw So tiny, So small That was the problem So tiny, so small What do you feed the wind? You fit through the holes of my fingertips Yours were painted red, falling like your perception on digestion I placed your cain into your wind And we stumbled off, your beauty within I wish you were to eat today But there are always other days Unless I take the easy way out, dismay What do you feed the wind? Father, stop calling I know it's time to eat I'm trying to feed the wind I only pray it doesn't **** me in Mother, what will satisfy your needs? What else is there to feed the wind Other than loneliness, your selfish binge
