stephanie-marasco - Hello Poetry

When it feels like you're drowning And the bubbles are rising As they pull on your ankle And you're screaming and crying "Let go of me, I can still fight" Your eyes turn up and you can still see the light You kick and you scream With all your might But those nails drag at your skin And you take a deep breath in Those hands are gone Oh how much easier it is to cave in Your feet, wrapped in chains You realize fighting was all in vain And you sink below As water fills your veins

Sinking

When it feels like you're drowning And the bubbles are rising As they pull on your ankle And you're screaming and crying "Let go of me, I can still fight" Your eyes turn up and you can still see the light You kick and you scream With all your might But those nails drag at your skin And you take a deep breath in Those hands are gone Oh how much easier it is to cave in Your feet, wrapped in chains You realize fighting was all in vain And you sink below As water fills your veins

Tear me Apart Put me together Give me your heart Take it away I need to start To search for better Before I fade away Give me space Let me Be I just need room To Breath It feels like I’m in the clouds Just to realize I’m upside down

Let Me Be

Tear me Apart Put me together Give me your heart Take it away I need to start To search for better Before I fade away Give me space Let me Be I just need room To Breath It feels like I’m in the clouds Just to realize I’m upside down

For what is life But a series of convoluted steps each interconnected with the finest intricacy of a spider's web. What does one do if they step off these paths or find their strings crossed? What do they think when they look to their left just to see another web perfectly whole? Delicate Symmetrical Beautiful Then they look to their own and can't help but see the left side is skewed. A line, fatter than it should be. They look at that other web. And so they stop. What are they to do but sit and think? Why can't I do that? What point did I go wrong? Suspended in the air with no way down because it is too late to turn back. And they give up.

His words are kerosene But his touch is my personal nicotine One moment it seems like a dream In the next, I am struggling to breathe I know I'm decaying inside But wouldn't it be better to die in the light Better than my gaze resting on the empty spot in my bed Broken promises swirling in my head The illusion of everlasting love The chaotic pendulum Is something to behold. But would it really be better if I was alone?

My Greatest Love

His words are kerosene But his touch is my personal nicotine One moment it seems like a dream In the next, I am struggling to breathe I know I'm decaying inside But wouldn't it be better to die in the light Better than my gaze resting on the empty spot in my bed Broken promises swirling in my head The illusion of everlasting love The chaotic pendulum Is something to behold. But would it really be better if I was alone?

The trees are a kaleidoscope of the green rivets of sunshine peak through the canopy of leaves as the light flows to the forest floor. Vines wrap their arms around the trunks of the trees climbing to reach the sun Each desperately fighting for the just a piece of the warm glow Robins, swallows, and Cardinals all sing their songs as they glide from branch to branch filling the woods with their symphonies. A fox dashes across a steady stream leaping over rocks and fallen logs making his way home again.

Another Day

The trees are a kaleidoscope of the green rivets of sunshine peak through the canopy of leaves as the light flows to the forest floor. Vines wrap their arms around the trunks of the trees climbing to reach the sun Each desperately fighting for the just a piece of the warm glow Robins, swallows, and Cardinals all sing their songs as they glide from branch to branch filling the woods with their symphonies. A fox dashes across a steady stream leaping over rocks and fallen logs making his way home again.

Who would have believed this soul of mine that had once been intertwined, that has known love and trying times would be cold, and lonely again.

My sister once told me There was an immortal jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii, Its Latin name if I recall it correctly. They revert back to their polyp stage. Their lives beginning all over I often think to myself Wouldn’t that be nice To have the power of the jellyfish A new life from beginning to end To have learned from my past To make it all last To start anew To let go grudges, and try something new To jump off a plane To go to the show To date a boy, I barely know To a spontaneous trip to the coast To say goodbye to who I loved most To make mistakes I never did Knowing that I could start again.

I close my eyes And dream of a world Deep in my mind A mysterious place Where I grew from the pain And where I learned I could fly

Hollow like a dying tree alone in the forest where its brethren stand tall and strong the sun peeking through their canopies of green casting their shadows onto its blistering bark cold, dark, rotten past its prime and waiting for the end but nestled in that tree is a nest and inside that nest three bright blue eggs rest patiently waiting to hatch

I sit at the end of the world my feet dangling over the edge wondering if just a little nudge will send me tumbling down to the earth below Like a meteorite falling across the sky. Or will I fly free Like a comet dancing with the stars
