when you want to be kind
be kind
but when you want to be mean
be kinder
i haven’t posted in a long time, but i’m always writing; the poems just come to me in pieces.

Narcissus stared
at his reflection.

Everyone waited
for him to fall in.

He was bruised
all over but it
was internal.  

Everyone thought
he was handsome.

They thought this
is why he stared.  

Yet no one ever
cared to ask him.

He wasn’t content
because all that was
beautiful inside slept.

He was about
to fall but the water
turned to ice.

Yet he still
wouldn’t leave.

One day he
was old and gray
in the spring.

An axe flew up
from the water.

It tapped him
gently on the head.

Suddenly he was
aware of all that
he was looking for.

The spell was broken.

"I want you,
in the best of ways.

I want to make things go as far
as possible together
for as long as possible.

I want to make
you feel safe.
I want you to
support me.

And love me hard,
kiss me when I need it.

To never hide anything
but to tell me when
something is wrong."

But you never gave me any of that.

You lied to me,
and made me dig myself much deeper.
Deeper into a whole that would start to suffocate me.
I'm a Phoenix, and I will rise from the ashes that you caused after burning me.

I don't think I bloomed
I think my roots got deep.
But I didn't grow
I have to keep it all buried and not let it show

My mind is racing
In a dream
Drowning
In a shallow stream
Let my words
Eclipse your head
And revive
All that is
Dead.
