spilled chemicals
Day Feb 2016
positive energy flows from the corners of your smile
- negative attraction when you leave the room
= like a perfect polar bond

Being a poet, it's frustrating,
not having the perfect words

I want to be okay
with the way that I am seen.

patience
Day Jun 2017
it's hard, you see,
to wait, for you and me.
yeah, we're young
and this is fun
but patience..
god, i have none.
i don't comprehend
anything except "now"
and its sad how
impatient i can be
one day alone
by myself at home
and suddenly
my head wont shut the **** up
thoughts drifting
to years i await
married, content
makes me hate
just sitting
and thinking
for as i said,
patience?
what is that?
unedited, simply just my brain flowing

Mom said
Day Apr 2019
"Don't be Day, she acts like the devil." to my sis,
but, I have never felt Satan's dark and humid kiss.
Only to myself, have I attempted to be true.
So, a message to little sister , "Please, just be you."
I need to be writing. Time slips by me, but I am trying to scoop it up again. Re-finding the things that drive me to be alive is truly a neverending adventure.

Cookie in my hand.

Crumbs on the seat.

No gas in the tank,
but a nice sweet treat.

A story about a lil old man eating a cookie in his car at a stop light. <3
Hope your day was good.

Why do I cry?
I'm not sad.
It's because I feel empty.
But the tears prove I'm Not.

picture me happy
Day Nov 2015
i'm so scared of losing you
that i can't picture myself
having you.
i can picture waking up in an empty bed
filled with drunken regrets
i can picture sitting alone
watching you across the room
i can picture rejection and pain
after embarrassment and shame
but i can never picture
you and me
because i'm to scared
of you leaving
right now you're here
maybe not with me
but here
and the fear of that changing
is enough to keep me quiet
i'm currently writing  a book (random thought)

one side of two thoughts
Day Oct 2015
sometimes i wonder if i made you up,
if somehow,
from my innermost thoughts,
you were spawned into existence.
the other part of me,
somewhere out there,
walking,
breathing,
thinking,

somehow knowing that i need you,
as if i called you,
from incohesive musings,
and untraceable cries.
in the womb i spoke,
and you heard,
responding instantly,
saying nonsense,
its impossible,
you are you,
and i am i.

but i heard the falter behind it,
as if an unborn child,
could comprehend anything,
nevertheless something so important.
but no matter,
because i found you again,
and i'll listen,
for something i haven't heard in a long time,
not since the cord was cut,
and **i became alone.
this is a really personal peom for me and i know it may not make sense to anyone else but i had to write it down

one month
Day Dec 2016
31 days, seems so small
compared to 31 years
one month, only one
of you and me

I'm not the cliche
'Happy one month Babe!!"
kind of girl
but this time seems different

Hoping for the day
I can look back
and look at you saying
"Happy 31 years, Babe."
Teenage love comes and goes. Buts who's to say it can't last.

flying notes
Day Oct 2015
Words to me are like paper planes,
some fall instantly,
some go on and on and on,
but in the end,
all are forgotten.
i don't really know why I wrote this. it just seemed to make sense to me i guess.

He answers
"All dogs go to heaven, so why worry about it?"

What is the definition of myself?
A modpodge rendition of a pinterest post I saw?
A poem I wrote drunk off my ***?
A half-hearted rhyme I can't tie tother?
This is not a poem. It's my life.

"tired of feeling"

is this is my life?
Day Apr 2019
Eyes open
Phones broken
Alarms on
Cars warm
Show up
Clock in
Do my work
Get paid
Clock out
Drive home
Feel drained
Close my eyes
Can't express
How I feel
Do I feel?
Sigh
Breathe in
Breathe out
Sleep

do you give a damn?
Day Jun 2018
today I feel like finding a bridge
and ending it all
blaring angry lyrics
scream "*******" as I fall

but in the silence
I find peace
and in the distance
we've felt release

sweet love
Day Sep 2017
as we laugh, sing and dance
i stop a moment, heart in hands
turn to you, and then i say
promise me, you're here to stay?

lifts my chin, looks in my eye
forever and ever, until I die
and even after, turned to dust
your heart is safe, you can trust

even though my hands still shake
and i have never believed in fate
i hear the truth in what you say
and feel the love you give away

things i say during sex

"I've never felt like this before"
but what i meant was
"I've (always) felt alone. (I guess I've never known)"
Is this (real) love?

i never really noticed that there were no colors here exept for red.
i guess that makes sense,
we all bleed out our feelings into words.
our innermost thoughts intermixing with logic and meaning,
creating something beautiful.

Peanut butter and poison
Day Mar 2022
Under my sink is a grave
Here lies a cockroach

I don’t think he meant to be brave
Surely that’s just what cockroaches do

Hide under sinks
Waiting for the rainfall of crumbs
After the smell of **** fills the room

A last meal
Perhaps he had made a request
Or perhaps he had made a mistake
Unable to see the difference between
Peanut butter and poison
253 · Jan 2019
Please, tell me
Day Jan 2019
How do I handle
waking up
with a strong-*** desire
to bleed out in the bathroom?
Imagining my toothbrush
as a weapon,
bleeding gums are the least
of my worries.
Before I leave for work
quickly check
underneath my mouse pad.
Yup, it's still there,
my blade.
I don't need it,
I tell myself
as I start my car today.
Turn on 104.9
and journey on my way.
Passively suicidal mornings have dominated lately. No apparent reason why. I do it to myself you know?
253 · Oct 2015
my cigarette
Day Oct 2015
you asked me if you smoked too much,
and i said no,
because i know what its like,
to have something that lets you escape.

you asked me what my high was,
i instantly knew and  replied,
just keep smiling,
and ill be alright.
if only i could tell him

but it's summer
Day Jun 2017
i wish, someone would notice,
that the depression came back
long ago
sometimes i just have a thousand million feelings inside me all just floating around aimlessly, surfacing at the worst of times. times that dont even make sense. and its really killing me. i dont know how to handle it. instead i just push it down, and down and down. here, on hello poetry is one of the only places that i allow it to fully come to the top and bare its ugly face. im tired of just dealing with this thing. .this thing inside. i look at other people and i dont understand how they appear so happy. it looks so easy to get, so simple to achieve, and yet i sit here wishing and wishing for it and still nothing. just a mixing *** of confusing pain inside. and i just wish someone would see it, i wish someone could help. but i know that even if someone did bring it up that i would brush it off, not that they can help me anyways. im handling it. right?
Day Aug 2016
it's hard to express a feeling you don't understand yourself,
to explain an emotion unknown to you.

it's like asking a child why they're crying for a toy,
they don't comprehend, they only know that they want it.

honestly, i've stopped attempting to locate this mindset
or at least the origin of it.

I have learned to stop asking questions,
and rather, search for answers.
i guess i'm back, if anyone was looking

dear mom,
Day Oct 2020
I know that you love me,  
the way you love a lost part of yourself.

Sometimes, I wonder
if you see
the being I am becoming  

It’s hard to get good sleep

I know that’s why you pray

I don’t believe in God
but,
who am I to say?
Love,
Yours always

listening
and
waiting*
for something,
anything
to write about,
as if tragedy
is meant
only

us.
i decided to continue this because i really liked it the first time. i'll probably write one every once in a while
246 · May 2015
More than a poem.
Day May 2015
does it really matter what I write in this box?
if it never makes a difference?

does it really matter what I have to say?
if no one really cares?

does it matter if I  write one poem or a million?
if they don't really mean anything?

does it really matter at all?

No.

because I'm just another shadow, wanting to be in the light.

Day Oct 2018
always counting
the ways i could be better
(-1) lesser voice, (-1) smarter things to say
constant reassurance
of why i am enough
(+1) seems stable, (+1) showers almost every day
daily working
to prove myself right
(+1) constant patience, (+1) being productive
breaking a cycle
of crying at night
(-1) hating myself, (-1) not wanting to live
odd how,
wanting so desperately to be someone
i've forgotten
what it means
to be myself
will it stop?

No reason to stay,

P l e a s e, go away,

the clock's running slow.
Got bills to pay,
turn this body on auto.

Did you know I loved you
when you left, last fall?
I didn't tell you
but, I thought you saw.
Now, you're not that far
still you never call.

I'm happy now
well, I want to be.

Sometimes, I wonder
do you think of me?
