I haven't spent time on writing good poetry, just on venting. That's what this is, my "feels" page
Passing through the days in a sort of stream Walking through the hallways like a movie friends on either side People to smile with at lunch A person or two to send a wink. A club and sport to participate in. Its a delicate balance isn't it? Like the average teenager, nothing special at, almost boring. But it's still a little gem of this thing called life. Filled with all of those experiences that help us grow and learn and become

I have to be strong, smile through the tears Everything is fine, don't worry I'll take care of it I have to walk with confidence even though I want to curl up in a corner and fade from existence Don't worry about me I just need a day to reset Ill be fine I'm strong, I have to be Unbreakable A warrior Tough Gotta take care of others time for me later Doesn't matter that I didn't eat for a week That didn't show enough self control It will never be enough I can't cut parts of me out I can't rid my hatred of myself I can't stop becoming what I don't want to I can't just get away from everyone There's no escaping I'm trapped But I'm a warrior, a fighter. There's nothing wrong with me, I'm fine Even though I'm not healing fast enough

Self hatred
my mind in in contortion thoughts swirl and dance in endless random currents there is no head nor tail to the madness as i trying to grab hold of these thoughts they flit away and I am driven insane trying to clasp onto thoughts that cannot be caught

strains of thought
He used to be in the center of it all always living in the moment, Enjoying life in its very essence Then he got a camera changed himself and his name Now he takes pictures if those in the center of attention Taking amazing photos of those living life in its essence Now he can't be found as he is hiding behind the camera Disappearing into someone that is invited to parties for the photos He has grown small and secluded into a view frame One sees what he sees and does but not who he is He is the boy behind the camera

The boy behind the camera
Stormy blue eyes search the horizon from atop a parking garage The storm despritely rages around the pupil as it searches for the sea But alas, even eight stories up, endless towers block distant waves from the mixed blue Yet they still search on, darting back and forth Trying to find something tht matches the wavy blue eyes

Stormy blue
I never realized I carried this little shadow That awful mistakes from the past actually have consequences I thought I was invincible before that I could act and feel and actually be above someone else When in reality I was far below. Thanks to these times when I had hurt others with no immediate punishment I suffer now By being closed off to all those wonderful people That I broke apart for pleasure

A little shadow
Sitting atop my perch the wind howls on While some might find it annoying as it whips around their hair It is a comforting feeling for me As the others move behind glass I stand until I am alone Just me and the wind and the rushing cars below

The wind and I
I need to cry, shout out in frustration That would bring attention in the city streets and I cannot set a bad example in my uniform I have to quietly walk these halls with a smile As an internal storm rages on

There is a dangerous aspect of summer Some friends may leave for a while and there is so much time to think of those that remain I wish I had work today even school sounds nice Anything to keep my mind off of you. With the coming of summer is the coming of time Time to really think, To open your heart and turn off your brain But it's my brain that has saved my heart I don't need another thing broken So I stand in the tiny crowd That wishes school would come quickly

Abstract
A toddler is a giant when standing on the highest surface in a playground. Later, reaching the top branch of a tree means a child has reached the top of their world. Now I'm sitting on top of 12 story building and can see the tops I thousands of trees. Shouldn't I feel like I own the world? Like everything is tiny in comparison to me? It doesn't. Instead I feel small and so unimportant. I can't go any higher. There is just an empty sky above. I guess that is the result of being above what you really are.
