Mexican In a world of fire I am ice / help
What is a name? A label that defines a person Describes them flawlessly Yet it also confines them Puts them in a box Live up to your name A name serves an important purpose To call you To haunt you Because names stick forever Like glue They follow you like a dog You own the name? Or does the name own you Don't let a word define you Drag you down with it

Who I am
One for the lies Two for the pain Three for the hell of it Four to stay sane Five to stay grounded Six so you're alive Seven for all your hate Eight for relief Nine so you feel real Ten as a last resort And another because you can

That lingering scent of death in the air The smell of decay Where is the carcass? Is it an animal? A human? No it is just me For I myself is just as corrupted as a foul smelling comatose creature Forgive me for being simply Me

Is jealousy the green eyed monster?  Or is it something closer An arrow pierced my heart to leave me breathless Crumpled in pain  Boneless  He leaves me in his wake If only he could see that when he smiles I die When he frowns I die  Any move he makes I die  The pain of constant love  Keeps me paralysed  The numbness of my secrecy  Keeps me strong The excruciating friendship we have Keeps me by his side  It's better than being without him  Or is it Is he worth the pain he causes? Is a smile worth another frown? Is the light worth the darkness? I don't want to know the answer  A blessing  A curse  My angel My demon  My freedom  My death  I love him He is my Cupid  My green eyed monster

Hey guys, Thanks so much I wanted to tell you that I got chosen as a finalist for my library's poetry contest But most of all my sister Elizabeth has decided to quit poetry, if you have ever read or liked any of her poetry could you message her or tell her some how because she is really talented but she thinks that because she wasn't chosen that she isnt could you help show her that she does have talent

Hey guys
****** light straining through a mess of clouds barely alive awake without energy sunlight fading to darkness as my life fades to death I die left broken on the rusty floor killed by the struggle of the day as morning light burns bright again I rise a phoenix triumphant new or am I an elusion to be tomorrow a great gift of life its self to carry on if i were tomorrow

to be tomorrow
Salt Tears flowing down my cheeks You have no right To pull us in To this web of painful tears They sting I try and hold them back Yet they fall I do have right I do have opinions In vain you try to make me conform I will not You have no right The voice in my head echoes You are pointless It says You dragged us in to this war Well I am fighting I will not hold back I didn't want this I wanted peace Yet the insults fly And the sting returns In my head a new voice appears Apologize It whispers You'll lose them You know you will They don't need you If you disappear they wouldn't notice You are nothing A waste of space You ARE stupid You ARE useless A tear falls No I won't apologize I love them I need them but I know I deserve more than what I get I know they might leave me Is that a risk I will take? So tired of this So tired of everything Lying on my back staring at the white ceiling Insomnia Again Looking in the mirror two pills in my hand Hopefully I can fade now Sink into the earth I will not apoligize for being treated badly But I will apoligize for creating this You say it's nothing You say it's meaningless drama It matters to me

Sting
I wander Faces fade as soon as I pass A shadow A faint memory of the girl with the frown The unanswered question Who is she No one knows Places blur together forming a cloud in my head No place to call home The road The only constant thing in my life Every turn I make leads to another mistake Are there any paths To lead me in the right direction No it's always my choice Even the desision to be free was my choice No guidelines just the empty Page Can i form my own Pattern Do I fit any where Lone Can I call anywhere home if I fit nowhere

You lie Like the fallen snow Slumped against the garage door Flakes drifting Sticking to my lashes Melting down my face The black tears of makeup running I'm fake Unreal I cover myself with color Afraid to show I'm not dumb Not naieve I am not innocent If people look past my blonde Facade They could actually see me Not my mirror image The giggle The signature giggle My trademark Is fake The three claps are real If I revealed the real me would people know Would they care Would they notice What if If I Am I Fake as a barbie

If
I see my purple bags  From all my sleepless night of standing at the sink hands full of the medicine I hope will dull the pain I see the rolls that make me cry slumped in front of the mirror unable to move for fear of looking up at myself  I know soon it will be over soon this hell hole will stop burning with the constant pain That finally I will go back to my three month heaven of friends that are so close to family  The wind in my hair  Ocean spraying  I know it is Closer than it feels  Each moment ticking forth  Is a moment closer  To peace  January March  April May  June a simple five months  Can feel like a lifetime Almost infinity
