there are brats and rats and scumbags
crowbars and cheap cars and phantom stars
in the town of denial
down by the frothy beach
in the middle of a place called insanity

there are temptresses and trespasses and messages
phony ploys and bloodthirsty boys and aimless joys
in the dust-accompanying countryside
the place that silver wolves and pistols occupy
in foreboding high midnight sighs

there is loneliness and helplessness and acid
soda cans and grunge bands and peculiar bans and queer vans
all inside my throbbing heart
in the space i refuse to stay
in the place where it’s never “ok”

down by the frothy beach
in the middle of a place called insanity

me.
this is when i like rhyming

*holds hands up to face like a villain in a sci-fi movie*

you and me
and our cheesy
selves
twinkling as the ashes
burst out of the effervescent
bonfire
i’m wearing your
awfully
baggy
sweater and
i look like a little
marshmallow
in an old mug
of hot cocoa
you pull me into your
sturdy arms
the breeze whips through
whistling like a singsong
we’re cuddled up next
by the snug heat
of the wood burning
orange sheet
you’re holding me
around my belly
(you know how much
i hate that word)
the fire builds cityscapes
and countrysides
and warm embraces
cheeks are rosy
hearts are cozy
ashy smoky
atmosphere
burning bark
and rustic willow
leaves chattering
murmuring
in the silence
of the
frozen in time
night
i fall asleep
in your lap
so you lay me down
tenderly
and i still smell the
smoldering fire
as you put the flame
to rest
and the hazy smoke
envelops our stationary
bodies
flawlessly
appressed
just imagining a woods with a small opening in between a million (probably a thousand, but a million sounds more dramatic) thick trees. little bonfire love and hearty hugs <3

oh, how i wish i could be those girls in miniskirts
those girls who make 360 turns
in their Range Rovers
those girls who have boyfriends in perms
those girls who never recycle
those girls who party all night and never see real struggles
those girls who find opportunities on their rich stepdad’s floor
those girls who walk lightly cause they’re attainable  

but those girls die early due to their depression
they overdose on medication cause the media’s attention is too
unconventional
they scream into their pillows at night and
cut their tongues to make an effort to be silent
they kick and punch, but the world has no sympathy
they get discarded and left for the next best thing

and so
maybe i don’t wanna be those girls
i wanna stick to my world
where normal isn’t boring, it is a staple
and in a world where the only thing the future holds
is the future
not sick and twisted girls in miniskirts
i hate myself so i wanna be someone else, but i know that’s not the way to go...

funny how smiles make wrinkles on your face
and we deem no wrinkles as “beautiful”

we as a society love sad people
kinda deep lol

daisy’s spread out in a vast field
twirling as the wind whips their blossoms
salty lips and caramel hips
dips and tricks
picking up the flowers that fill the ground with
color
laughs in Flagstaff
sidesteps and triceps
gracefully holding sweaty hands
in fields that only flowers inhabit
liberated limbs in little lands
with boundless promises
sway with arms on shoulders
hands on slim waists
spreading fake wings while lying in the yellow
field
smelling the scents, but with no allergies
spinning until floating
two in one without knowing
falling into enchanting spells
flower field remaining sweet
while kissing is faintly heard in the brisk
night air

oh, what a magnificent thing is to be in love
i love to love love and love loves to love me loving love

i missed his party so i didn’t get to see you
   and i write as if you hear my anguish
   as if you care enough to listen
**** it, i would give you my poems to read
    i miss you
    because without you, i blame it on myself
perhaps we were made to break
   to crack on hardwood floors and windows
   to grow apart as the famine destroys
i missed his party because i was sick
   so we didn’t get to mend our relationship
   and our beaten hearts are ruined

      i missed his party so now i miss you
oh, shut up by now. ur voice makes me mad and it lingers in the humid air. you know i hate saying i miss people, but maybe you don’t know. maybe you never knew me and i was just some little gimmick, some arm candy. cause u moved past this faster than a roller coaster ride, and i feel as if i am obligated to move on too. i forgot about you for basically 4 years, and i really don’t think i have been too affected by this until now. but it’s whatever. cause i will move on and be in love and stop creating fake storylines to feel alright. that’s soon, i can feel it too. letting go is the most powerful thing a person can do, and you are slipping out of my bitten nails and becoming less of a worry and more like an old story. ok, bye, you’ll never read my poems so you’ll never know that i actually care. and if you still care about me and want to talk to me, talk to me. i wanna reach out to you, i am just afraid of rejection. pls forgive me. i’m sorry
                                      so sorry

i sang from the rafters
only echoes came back to me
lonely, locked and loaded
cries of desperation caused the vigorous vibrations
i sang until it took me over
my voice didn’t sound like beach houses in malibu anymore
it was car horns and rooster crows and confounded snores
the only benefit was-
i was trapped up there alone
no one else i could harm with such a hideous voice
haha sometimes i realize that i am a bad writer and sometimes i just like to pretend :)
