Midnight

The only thing to sing to me
Was the moon
In the middle of the night
When I would look up
And stare
At my bedroom ceiling
Thinking about nothing
And everything...
All at once
The memories flood in and out
Through my ears
The gentle blow of the wind
Is my calling
So I open the window...
And step outside
Because by the light of the moon
I will make my great escape

Dreaming

I twirl my pen
Inbetween
My fingers

The dream
I'm having
Is so vivid

It's torture
And bliss...
A perfect combination

I write my poems
At my desk
And you walk over

I hold your hand
Intertwining fingers
Why is this happening?

I didn't know I loved you
Up intill
This very second

I want to hold you
But it's just a dream
Thats the nightmare about it

A Game Of Tag

I run
You chase me
A classic game of tag

You tag me
We laugh
Well, you do at least

I keep running
You call after me
"Hey! You're it!"

I find a quiet forest
But you find me again
And get mad at me

"I'm sorry!" I say
But I don't
Really mean it

I was running from you
And your
Laughing face

But you thought it was all a game
But it wasn't a game to me
It was like a cat chasing a mouse

I was the mouse
Running for my life
And you were the cat

I don't get it
I don't want to play with you
This little 6 year old is too scared

This little girl has insecurities
So don't laugh at her
Life isn't a game of tag

But, please, keep laughing
Because to you life is a game of tag
And you should keep smiling before its too late

A letter from me to the world

Thanks for the memories
Of laughter and play
Thank you for not harming
The ones I love

Thanks for the sunshine
And the warmth of the sun
Where I found the small moments
Of happiness

But once you see a little girl
Just like me
Don't hurt her
Like you killed me

Give this little girl joy
And sunshine for life
For this little girl
Shouldn't go through what happened to me

But thanks for the joy
And my family
But don't let her go through
What happened to me

I won't cry anymore
I promise you that
But if you could be nicer to me
I'd appreciate that

Thanks for reading
But seriously
I want to be happy
Don't be the death of me...

Don't be so cruel to me

I Wish To Be Invisible

See me
Hear me
Over in the corner

I'm crying, screaming
Mentally of course,
I don't want them to laugh at me

I want to leave
The school building
To escape the staring

Can't they just turn away
Not look at me
I want to be invisible, you see?

I don't want your attention
Because in this place, when people know you
You're doomed to a life of staring

I wish to be invisible
I wish to fly away
I wish this world wasn't so mean
And I wish to be happy

But wishing on a star, you see,
Does nothing but bring hope
And you wanna know what hope brings?

A life of disapointment, you see.

Why?

why

why
why
why
...

Why me
Why must I go through this
Why must no one understand
Why do people's jokes hurt so much
Why do people have to laugh at me
Why can't I be normal
Why can't be happy forever
Why do I have to go on like this

Such a weird word why.
So weird that it appears
Way to often in my thoughts
And in my mouth
Untill I have to swallow it down
So no one laughs at me
And I don't cry again
At least in public
