Mother
Acey Dec 4
My mother is one of the nicest people you'll meet
with her you'll never go hungry with nothing to eat
My mother is no saint but she is a hero to me at least
like a hero she gives up what she needs to save
The 'city'
from harm, that city is my family
who seems to be forever needy
My mother is a boulder. she is no rock
in a sea of pebbles she stands the tallest in my eyes,
This sea of pebbles seems to swallow her whole;
MY mother is strong like no other the things she's endured makes
me, not want to think..
it hurts me to be mean to this sweet loving being,
I seem to forget it's her first time living too
things make me so blue but not as much as this Woman
I call my MOTHER!
for she lights this dark tunnel but her candle is burning out
maybe she doesn't notice but I do, the tired feeling weighing
on your shoulders is strong but with a mom like mine it doesn't feel as heavy as before. I'm sorry mama I forget you were once a child lost in the blue
the memories I make with you leave me feeling so lucky and I'm reminded
i'm so grateful to have you
<3

Stuck
Acey Dec 4
I wish to be free like those birds you see up in the sky in the morning daylight. Oh to be a bird. Flying so high where nothing can touch me, just barely high enough to touch the clouds..
But i'm stuck
Here on the ground listening to the sound my mind makes when it overthinks. This body feels like a battle ground.  my mind, the enemy and I the soldier. Battling these fears that weigh me down
This battle ground is scarred and inside burning like a wildfire, the flame climbs higher inside.
I feel like a waterfall overflown with tears but I have none left to cry.
I am stuck.
Playing a role, a person I don't recognize any more.
Where is that little girl excited to live, the one that let everything blow over her head?
She's stuck.
In me begging to be freed, i am sorry little me for pushing you away and locking you in this cage i call myself
We’re stuck.
I feel like a thorned rose stabbing anyone who gets too close, it's dangerous playing with plants and I choose the wrong ones to plant.
I feel heavy like water is weighing me down, like I'm holding a pound of bricks sometimes.
Though dying is so much easier. Then living no living is way harder.
I fight with myself to survive because I don't wanna die.
I'm stuck
Where the only escape seems to be sleep. These dreams take me on journeys where I know who to be .
I'm tired of being me, I'm tired of everything but I keep pushing. Even though it seems i'm not trying.
I'm stuck, stuck
Is all i say when i need to help myself instead of staying away from problems i need to face but
At the same time i still feel
Stuck…
um I'm not that good and this is one of my first poems i'd love for some advice or feedback if you can do that on here
