I feel light
         And timeless
                  The wind in my hair
                           Like an old-fashioned pilot

                                       I am flying
                                                In my loud plane
                                                          But I keep forgetting there are
                                                                    So many thoughts in my brain

                                                                     The plane descends
                                                             I am not a pilot
                                                     I am a miner
                                             In a whole different climate

                                      My thoughts are dark
                                The light is dim
                          If the canary is silent

                     T h e n

Drowning

S h e i s a f r a i d

Life is a storm
And she has no umbrella
It is flooding
She is drowning
She cried out
And they ignored her
But eventually
People heard
And they cared
And they helped
Her feet are on dry land
The storm stopped
The rain disappeared
Now the sun is out
Now she can swim
She’s not scared
She is brave
And she forgets
There was a time when

S h e w a s a f r a i d

This poem was actually for school

pretty people

P r e t t y   p e o p l e
W i t h   p r e t t y   w o r d s
B u t   t h e y   a r e   u g l y
T h e i r   s p e e c h   i s   s l u r r e d

They never show
Their real emotions
Because people watch
Their every motion

Everything they have
Is fake
They have noticed
And they have breaked

They were living in
A fake reality
But they've woken up
To actuality

We used to talk
Behind their backs
They noticed
And they cracked

They don't think we love them
They don't think they're pretty
And they really do
Deserve our pity

P r e t t y   p e o p l e

This is a follow up to the first PRETTY PEOPLE poem.

Space & Earth

They are like
S p a c e and E a r t h
Always have been
Ever since birth

They are not like
Fire and water
They never will be
They never were

Space and Earth
are two different things
Space sounds airy
But Earth really sings

Earth has color
Filled with glee
Where Space has none
Earth has three

Space is dark
Full of emptiness
Earth is filled
And doesn't feel numbness

Although opposites
They work together
They get the job done
They'll never wither

Without each other
They wouldn't work
The universe would die
The clock would stop

So be thankful
There are people like them
Without their existence
There would be mayhem

School

It's supposed to be
A place to grow
A place to learn
A place to know

Instead it became
A place to judge
A place to hurt
To hold a grudge

At school I feel
Anxiety
Everyday
It attacks me

From the gloom
I feel numb
Instead of learning
I feel dumb

Why does school
Torture me?
"Because," they say
"of society."

Eh it's not this bad I'm just dramatic.

PRETTY PEOPLE

P r e t t y p e o p l e
W i t h   p r e t t y   w o r d s
B u t t h e y a r e u g l y
T h e i r s p e e c h   i s   s l u r r e d

They never show
Their real emotion
While people watch
Their every motion

Everything they have
Is fake
If they'd notice
They would break

They're living in
A fake reality
They need to wake up
To actuality

We always talk
Behind their backs
If they knew
They would crack

They think we love them
They think they're pretty
But they really don't
Deserve our pity

Eggs

Eggs
They're just like us
******* the outside
Keeping everyone out
But soft on the inside
Caring, Helpful
But you hurt them to get there
You hurt the egg
