You can’t touch it
Like the gummy pink scar
You nervously run your fingers over.
You can’t heal it
With a kiss from mom
Or a few stitches at the hospital.
You can’t ignore it
Like a tumor
Slowly infesting your body.
You can only try to hide it
Like a hickey
From a crummy one-night stand.
And it never goes away -
It never goes away -
It never goes away -
It will never go away.

Fellow poets,
We cannot be merely strangers, for we share more than a passing glance
We share our lives here
Our true lives
Our deepest parts of ourselves
We know each other better than we know ourselves
It's your poems that inspire me, and my poems that inspire you.
I wish I knew more of you, for if we spoke, I'm sure we'd be the greatest of friends.
This site is called "Hello Poetry", so let's put that name to good use.
Let's say hello, unite, and become stronger than our fears.
Hello
I'm here.
What's your name?

Hello
Miss Red Petticoat
How I wish I knew your name
I see a spark within your eyes that says "I can't be tamed"
You caught my eye and now I know that I'm in deep deep trouble
Your teasing glances, though so sweet, will turn my joy to ruble
I cannot have you as my own, my parents wouldn't allow it
And anyways, I feel something for you, but I'm too afraid to show it
So please, beautiful, let your presence in my mind be called history
Because, as much as I want to know, your name must remain a mystery

I want to go home.
No not that type of home.
Not the type with a roof
And four walls, maybe more if you're lucky.
Ding ****
I go from door to door searching for the right home
How many doorbells does it take to find the right door?
A few of them invite me inside.
"Make yourself at home" they say
But how can they tell me to do that if I don't even know what home feels like?
But no.
I once knew what home felt like.
Home was his open arms
His warm body
His sparkling eyes
His unforgettable smile
Home felt happy.
But then I couldn't afford to pay the price to keep him as mine.
So they foreclosed on my home and snatched him away.
Now I wonder if I'll ever find a new home.

One day I found myself
calling my reflection
names I wouldn't even
call my worst enemy

Spontaneous dancing
Up all night
Making memories
Messy rooms
Everyday Adventures
Road trips

After you left,
I fell hard on the
sharp edges
of my own
shattered heart.
And as I poured out the remains of my soul
for you,
You bleached me from
your memory.

My soul brims on the verge of tears,
As I now face my biggest fear.
A number that I strongly hate
Its double digits dominate.
Paper: Shavings from a tree
How then could it conquer me?
I clench my fists with sweet revenge.
My grade, I promise to avenge.
For nothing gives me more remorse
than tests in my English 1 course.
This result truly hurts my brain.
Ninety and six. Oh! Such a pain!

Go collect white feathers,
and tie them up with strings.
I'll be your guardian angel
if you'd only make me wings.
