riveraleka - Hello Poetry

greenery is the new scene, the flowers bloom the birds sing in the daylight, and, i, too, emerge from all of the cold and dread and hollow earth through the cruel winter i felt much too many out of sync, dissonant days, where i crumbled such as the dirt and whenever the sun would kiss me good night, i, too, would melt away with the day greenery is the new scene i have emerged from all of the cold and dread and hollow earth i stand tall just as all of the yellows, purples, pinks and reds grow beside me next winter, i will be in harmony, too, even on the crisp, bitter days i will not wilt away

where do your flowers bloom, if at all? in a meadow? the cracks in cement? beneath the snow? tell me, where they grow, do they sway with the wind? or do they wilt under the sun's harsh rays? tell me, do you flowers bloom at all? i know you're so dark but dawn rises everyday, just choose to open the blinds

i'm not scared of lots of things heights spiders flying when i was a child clowns never made me cry silence was always my friend it was comfy and safe but now it's tormenting now it's frightening nightmares having me waking up in the middle of the night with a racing heart and tears in my eyes pitch black eyes staring down at me; i wasn't a human anymore i was an object for someone elses' delight i didn't scream i didn't cry silence silence silence it's as if i died he threw my shirt at me so i could clean up the mess he left behind i wasn't scared of lots of things heights spiders flying they still don't scare me but memories haunt me and they tear me up inside

it strikes my body like lightning it fills my veins with the blood that flows when i see chests fall and jump, i apprehend existence ensconced on the floor, i think forevermore my bloodstream is full of the faces i won't see again hair pulled back; why aren't you hiding? you let the sun gleam on your skin; you are you waterdrops on leaves, that little bugs drink a trembling hand holding another stars twitching in the sky, the moonlight your silhouette fireworks exploding in the sky hearts melting, delightful sighs candlelight surviving through the night i'm losing my mind introspection consumes me whole i'm in a maze, my sight is hazed

i do everything i can to feel alive. i’ve ran until my knees felt weak. i’ve jumped into the cold ocean waters. i’ve gotten high. i’ve gone on the wildest of roller coasters. i’ve canopied before. i’ve eaten crazy spicy foods. i breathed. and i don’t know how to explain. i think it’s just all the headaches, sleepless nights, and lies i’ve told. i think it's just all the times i’ve cried and tried to die. maybe that overcomes the things i’ve done to forget time. maybe that overcomes the cheer of when the sun rises in the sky and the wind that caresses the trees under the bright moonlight.

i don't know. i feel crazy sometimes, more than others. i see people, and i see what i wish i could be; fine. everyone has **** going on, but when my friend told me she was stressed and i asked why, she replied "i don't know what to wear tomorrow." if she asked me what i was stressed about, it'd be "i don't know how to stop hating myself."

it was raining last night really hard and i thought that the storm would go on and on and on when i fell asleep, i slept in peace because i knew that when i woke up even if it was still raining the sun would come up, anyway
