I'm living
I'm breathing
but I am not alive.
I have been dead for 3 years now
and nobody has visited my grave.

upsetting
uplifting
both share a common word
two letters. two million meanings.
uplifting
going up
upsetting
going down
going so far down
that you break through the barrier on the other side
and then go up
It can take two weeks
months
Two years
decades
you will end up
up.

My teeth are caged behind metal bars now
all because of one unacceptable tooth.
It wasn't facing straight
therefore it needed to be fixed.
It needed to be changed
and twisted into the position it was supposed to be facing all along.
*
"You like them?"
"They're like hell in your mouth, quit lying."
"You're not cool for getting those things on."
*
Sometimes the cages tear the inside of my lip
constantly poking and cutting
never allowing for me to forget about their existence
*
"They're not even that bad."
"At least you're wealthy enough to afford them, be thankful."
"I had to keep them on for 2 years, you know nothing."
*
These cages should be placed in my ears instead of my teeth.
They should filter through the many sounds of language
getting rid of the grim and letting in the good.
I can do so.
I can move my cages to my ears.
I can free my teeth.
I can free my damaged mouth.
Though it requires self installation.
I would have to move my cages
with no help.
How could I ever install something by myself
when my whole life has been nothing but listening to others read
rather than being taught to read myself.
What if I mess up
just like they had always said I would
if I ever dared to try.
Commanded.
Demanded.
Oppressed.
Depressed.
Forced.
Caged.
and I haven't managed to find any key, yet.

You replied
She meant something
You smiled
She meant something
You asked
She meant something
To you
She meant something
And that's why she's smiling
She means something

It's no big deal you see
Looking at that text
and forgetting to reply
Not wanting to reply
Too lazy to reply
Which excuse are you going to use?
It's no big deal you see
You can talk to her in the morning
Afternoon
Evening
Whenever your heart pleases
Will the reply ever come?
It's no big deal you see
The text can wait
It's meaningless
Not that important
Is that what you think?
It's no big deal you see
But to me it's a huge deal
So much meaning within that text that you saw
But chose to forget about
And to push aside
It's no big deal you see

Knuckles clenched
Knees bouncing
Fingers twirling
Step
By
Step
Watching his feet travel
With the ball leading the way
Time ticking
To the beat of my heart
Bending the knee
Like a bow and arrow
Pull it All
The
Way
Back
and Release
Ball is flying
Breath is held
Time is silent
Sudden roar
Smiles and hugs
Finally
The game has been won
His smile brighter than the flashing score
He raises his hand and moves it side to side
I do the same plus make a fist and let my thumb stand tall
His feet start to jump
Sprinting up
Two steps at a time
Closer
Coming
Closer
To me
Grinning wide
Extending arms
Ready to congratulate him while holding
His body
In mine
But it never happens
He sprints past me
His feet keep traveling
Higher
Up
The
Cold
Metal
Stands
Heart slowly falling apart
As his arms fall around
Her
Hugging
Smiling
Laughing
But
Not
With me
Softly kisses
Her
Cheek
As he softly
Breaks
My
Heart
