kathleen-rose - Hello Poetry

In my apartment I often hide Catching glimpses Of nature that exists outside Deeply rooted the trees remain dignified… They know it’s not them But the people who have me terrified

They Call it Social Anxiety, I Call it a Consequence of Urban Expansion

In my apartment I often hide Catching glimpses Of nature that exists outside Deeply rooted the trees remain dignified… They know it’s not them But the people who have me terrified

Sometimes being authentic Is allowing yourself To be who you are Even when who you are Is someone really special

A Note to Those With Imposter Syndrome

i walk along the shoreline filled with the familiar need to disappear the emptiness beckons me it plays its rushing melodies temptation drawing me in shame pushing me out crouching forward i press my palms into the earth cool and damp beside the water i now lay i pull myself in closer curled up so tightly i dissolve into sand

if i could be anything i would be nothing at all

i walk along the shoreline filled with the familiar need to disappear the emptiness beckons me it plays its rushing melodies temptation drawing me in shame pushing me out crouching forward i press my palms into the earth cool and damp beside the water i now lay i pull myself in closer curled up so tightly i dissolve into sand

I know that I am doing just fine But I still think of you from time to time It's been a year since first we spoke Since we shared your favourite smokes I'm half way through my first degree Your intellect still inspires me The pain is dull but remains the same Seeking the closure that never came It's like I'm in The Twilight Zone No longer seeking someone to call my own It's simple, yet strange to see That this is what you did to me I am grateful knowing I don't need anyone There will never be another to hurt me and run But there are times I think of you And they **** they really do There was a light I no longer know From when I believed that love could grow I miss the times when I believed... That there was something bigger than me

I know that I am doing just fine But I still think of you from time to time It's been a year since first we spoke Since we shared your favourite smokes I'm half way through my first degree Your intellect still inspires me The pain is dull but remains the same Seeking the closure that never came It's like I'm in The Twilight Zone No longer seeking someone to call my own It's simple, yet strange to see That this is what you did to me I am grateful knowing I don't need anyone There will never be another to hurt me and run But there are times I think of you And they **** they really do There was a light I no longer know From when I believed that love could grow I miss the times when I believed...

This morning I dreamt of you I can't help but ask... Did you dream of me too? We took refuge In a fort in a tree With Minecraft t-shirts And cartoons on the TV My nose was pierced But I took it out There was nothing but certainty No feelings of doubt Your hands traced Over my body It was the first time we had That kind of intimacy I felt the freedom When you entered me Kissing deeply And giggling light heartedly We tried the position You always wanted to I laid down My back to you It was when I turned over Playing the little spoon That I heard my neighbour Coming home too soon As the door slammed I knew it was fantasy I still felt my hand on yours Resting on my hip gently Falling from the astral plane Feeling like celestial being I took a dive from the stars It felt like my soul was torn from yours I crashed into my body Tears in my eyes I swear to God you were with me Soaring above those skies

**** Off From My Dreams

This morning I dreamt of you I can't help but ask... Did you dream of me too? We took refuge In a fort in a tree With Minecraft t-shirts And cartoons on the TV My nose was pierced But I took it out There was nothing but certainty No feelings of doubt Your hands traced Over my body It was the first time we had That kind of intimacy I felt the freedom When you entered me Kissing deeply And giggling light heartedly We tried the position You always wanted to I laid down My back to you It was when I turned over Playing the little spoon That I heard my neighbour Coming home too soon As the door slammed I knew it was fantasy I still felt my hand on yours Resting on my hip gently Falling from the astral plane Feeling like celestial being I took a dive from the stars It felt like my soul was torn from yours I crashed into my body Tears in my eyes I swear to God you were with me Soaring above those skies

"There are others, Don't worry, just wait and see!" There are others they say, So patronizingly Yes, there are others, Lots of fish in the sea, Lots of others that are Cookie cutter debris "You'll meet someone perfect, they are waiting for you!" I met the one I want He just didn't want me too Am I too forthcoming, Or not giving enough? Can it be my dreams Are too far to touch? Why must I lay, So empty in my bed? Imagine the glory of my lips Wrapped around your cock's head

I liked you I thought you liked me too I liked you I didn't need wine to pull through I liked you But I was a fool I liked you I just couldn't play it cool I liked you And it was easy, you see I liked you You said it yourself, you were another version of me I liked you Now all that has changed I liked you I'll date dudes and won't care about their names I liked you You were so complimentary I liked you Until you let me fall empty I liked you As Icarus for you were the sun I liked you You taught me to burn them and run I liked you It's clear now to see I liked you I'll destroy them all before they destroy me

Peter Jackson your brand of cigarette still sits in my ashtray all the smoke that passed our lips and settled in our lungs how do i forget you when your kiss still dances on my lips I cannot forget those gentle lines & the smile that fixed itself on your extraordinary face how can I say that i miss you when I don't have the right to look left it is the doubt the feeling of swelling and sinking in tell me it is safe to drown when the rest left me at half mast with the tide setting in throw me the life line that brings me back to you bring me back to you
