I am a kid. A teenager. A human being. I write to write, and that's all there is to it. I may not be perfect, I may not spell correctly...my key board sucks. I really just want to share what I have written, it intrests me on how people react to my writings. I am no proffesional. But I want to be.
It’s all about texture, cracks on the dried up leather where you curl up and and bury yourself, it’s all about the way your skin moves around your bones how far you can touch your toes like details crashing, instant passing we glance and look over those cracks, scars, stains, lines, scratches, anything that makes us human, anything that pulls the paint farther across the canvas than smears it up and down with angry finger prints we are reaching out with red or pale marks, purple dust that turns into mountains you work with the colors you are given but you build texture you create movement you discover what makes you, you

painting on skin
Flower bloom/ Flower forever blooming Flower always bloomed/ Flower never blooms Flower functions like the skin soaking, soapy Dough skin slipping, like dehydrated petals Falling from torn green legs, limp to much ****** dusty hands pretending we are Forever, always bloom(ing)ed Because that’s what we want, to Be unknown green grass drying in the sun

Bubble gum was A past time favorite, smacking lips, sugar kiss Teeth warming up to ******* tongues, licks Of whistled no you can’t do that, **** in Pop! Tripped bubbles, blow onetwothree Inside each other and then Bam Bam Bam, the bad man is head over heels For the girl with pink lips, licking sticky Bubble gum crumbs off her skin. And you say we always win; winner-winner Chicken dinner for two or three or Just you; a lone loner is alone; It’ll be okay pink bubbles, one after another, They’ll keep coming your way.

(2) *****
I don’t care about the set of patients with high blood pressure Or finding the number of people who did not have exactly two of the indications listed: patients with high blood pressure, patients with high cholesterol, or patients who smoke cigarettes. I couldn’t careless that three circles make up this (venn)-diagram And that you must start in the center, Nothing good will come from me knowing that 46 people have high cholesterol when I don’t even know how to fix them. They’re all made up anyway. I won’t obtain anything from sitting in a cold classroom, listening to a student hack up his lungs because he’s over 50 and still threading smoke through his lungs; he probably has all three problems. All I do is poke and **** at time that moves so slowly And exchange ideas with my fingers, ignoring calculator instructions and written kindergarten numbers Hoping the day stays young and my eyes stay open

My Thoughts on Math Class
This is by far the best moment I can recall, besides the ones when I’m with you. I hope this will become a favorite past time, When my child looks at me Asking how I felt when I was 19, I’d say pretty **** well; For I sit on my bed after my alarm sound, class would be calling in 45 minutes. I spend most of my mornings alone, thumbing through past words exchanged or written poems still hungry to be edited. I blanket my legs And wear his sweat shirt With a coffee mug sitting on my left thigh, my four fingers curled around the handle. I can still feel the heat of it all. This is by fair my favorite moment when I’m not around him, because I have just woken from a dream and my eyes are still heavy with sleep but the caffeine seems to be digging its way through my blood stream. The air conditioning sounds remind me of a hotel and if I close my eyes I can smell the ocean. But the coffee, I’ll taste through my English class As I adore my professors ways, Thinking it feels pretty **** good To be nineteen.

When I Was 19 I Listened to Beck
You’re indifferent to time and space; You look at the stars and know that God doesn’t exist But you don’t argue with organized religion, You don’t even bash it. Your lips are pale but your face is red, You’re always calm and coughing, always Waiting for coffee or tea. You feel the weight of your bones, and sometimes It terrifies you, I can tell Because you kiss me harder when reality is drifting Away from you. But when you feel like 1,000 Pounds you gently press your lips To my forehead. You tip toe across the earth Scared your foot print will be too permanent For the wrong reason. And I often find you digging through Words, puzzled, and asking why The universe is shaped like a cheerio, You leave me with possible facts like Ghosts are just sounds humans shouldn’t be able to hear And then I wonder why you are afraid of the dark

You Smile at the Sun
You’re not a smoker, You may buy packs of cigarettes And even own a few lighters, but your Lips do not curl the way smoker’s lips do You do not **** in the smoke with a death wish Nor do you enjoy the thick air slowly threading It’s way through your lungs. You might find yourself holding one like a smoker But you do not have ash stained fingernails; You do not cough like a smoker You do not inhale nor do you need one more After you finished your last one. You’re not a smoker, You’re fingers do not lack hope They are not broken or fading away They are not yellow and they are Definitely not grey. They seem to be alive, Very much alive.

A Smokers Fingers are Lifeless
The moon had a belly ache and He told gravity to slow down He told time to slow down He told the universe to slow down. But they didn’t listen to him, Because the moon is So quiet, So quiet, So quiet, They didn’t hear him Whisper his worries And the Earth wouldn’t even Vouch for him When he mentioned it at the next Office meeting.

Shy Pale Shy Pale Shy
All he wanted was a wet kiss Stained red. And all he was, Was a concrete floor. And all I did Was slap him once, because All he wanted was my Blood on his skin, and all his skin Was nothing but destruction. And for once, All I wanted was destruction. And he Finally kissed me back, and all I remember Is bleeding and laughing and crying. And he Didn’t say much. So all I did was lay On top of his concrete body and wait, Because I knew they’d come. All they Wanted was to see him love, and all I Did was love. And I promise I won’t Do it again. (do it again) (do it Again). I promise.

He asked for it
Fluctuating back and forth on the idea of how to relieve The theme of cynicism throughout your life; Tough like nails: too stubborn to let go of whatever They were hammered into; the hits we take Make us unstable and unmovable from certain aspects. You chose to Stitch your eyes up With a thin piece of cynical string and a metal needle. Threading the idea of light and dark in each vessel, Causing your body parts to glow and show Off the direction of ideas, in out and down, But never up, for the sake of falling for the Instinctual trust and hope humans so conveniently thrive for. Conquered and obtained the conflict from your child Hood, fluctuating on the idea of morally right And morally wrong. Cough, cough, cough. Right Lung punctured by stale smoke, your lips twitch in The environment. Blood swells in your veins, forget That women’s ******* are to feed her children. Wipe the grin off the old man whose sipping warm Whiskey, tell him his wife is six feet under and partying With the demons he drove her to acquire. Like water, you are the universal solvent Cleaning, clearing, conquering and Creating a new symbiosis with human beings and The world they are submerged in; We take it for granted. Cynicism in brevity, is beautiful for the fact that it claims to be Open and calm like ocean waves during low tide Or a baby child’s gaggle and coo. Fluctuating between calm And ignorant, more so unintentionally rational to the point Of tearing your human anatomy apart and dipping the Soon to be suffocated air in heavy smoke. I’m afraid Humans just can’t handle the **** truth of reality.
