Walls

I am so tired of shining lights
on my bedroom walls late at night
to make shadow puppets
so that I feel less alone.

I meant to turn this into a 3 or 4 stanza poem but it's funny how most of what I plan to do never happens

Tell Me Please

Mommy and Daddy tell me please
How and when did you lose your happiness?
Don't you remember back when you loved and kissed?
Tell me it wasn't a curse
One that tore the love away
Please stop fighting and fall in love once again
for now. forever. for the rest of your days..

somehow I know too many people with broken homes..

Pointless

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everything I think
Is just a motion.

What is the point?
What is the purpose?

I used to get excited
I used to be sad
I used to enjoy life
But now I am numb
There is no feeling

I scream in frustration
I do not understand!
What has changed?

My life is the same as ever it has been
It is only my view that has changed
And now I wonder
What is the point

What is the point of getting up
What is the point of working hard
What is the point of eating
Or sleeping or talking
What is the point of fighting the monsters
When they always come back

What is the point of my life?
Can someone please tell me my purpose?
Can someone give me a reason to keep going?

I do not want to die.
I want to live again.
Would someone please tell me how?

before her
fall in love with the feeling of
your own skin
marvel at the light hitting each contour of
yourself, inside and out
her name on your lips
cannot, will not mend you until
you learn to adore
the color of your own eyes
and the feeling of your own hands intertwined
