Mental Dyslexic
Ive got to run
Run as far as I can
But in the palm of my hands
Are these letters
And I dont know what they spell
Im a mental dyslexic
Im no good at those puzzles
They puzzle me
I don’t know
Which pieces go where
Like the smell of your hair
And the look in your eyes
When the stars twinkle
In the sky and i
I wish I could hold you this way forever
But my brain says never ever
You’ll always be alone
And I don’t mean to be so sad
But sad is all I’ve ever known

Sometimes I wish I was normal
But you say normal is boring
Im so glad that my messed up life
Is in some way diverting
Sometimes I wish I was normal
And not so friggin numb

Only You
You make me smile when I feel like crying
Live when I feel like dying
Breathe when my breath is gone
Make me happier than I let on
You give me dreams instead of nightmares
You hold me tight when I’m scared
Sit and talk with me for hours
Make me in sing in the shower
Because you
You are the light in my life
You make everything right
And every single night
Im thinking of you

I dreamed a nightmare
I dreamed a nightmare
just last night
I dreamed a nightmare
what a fright
Your hands, they shook
as they gripped my throat
Your weary eyes
somehow seemed to gloat
"Look at my prize"
they seem to say
"I said I'd come
for you one day"
Those words you spat upon my face
like marks on paper, you cant erase
those awful things you did to me
and now you're climbing up a tree
with rope in hand
you tie a knot
and then you say
"Oh, I forgot"
You grab my wrist and pull me close
"Now its time for 'Adios'"
You tie the noose around my neck
bright lights surround, like discotheque  
and as you place me on the chair
I recognize that auburn hair
the way it frames your little face
you're evil but you look like grace
you look into my eyes eyes and say
you'll never see another day
you pull the chair and all I see
are my own eyes looking back at me
I wake up as cold sweats surround
the dead of night, not a single sound
my breath is fast
my face is red
and my mind...my mind
it wants me dead

Love Note
You give color to my days and splendor to my nights
you make my heart flutter
and I smile like an idiot all the time just thinking of you
you are so beautiful in my eyes
and I adore almost everything about you
I love you smile
your sense of humor
and your sarcasm
I love how much you love your siblings
and how much of a mom you are to them
i love that you love to cook
I love that you love to write
I love your mind
I love your heart
I love that you keep me lighthearted
and make me laugh when I don’t want to
you don’t let me take myself to seriously
even when I worry sometimes
I never regret a second I have spent with you in my life
you're tough as nails
and I know that your life is hard right now
but I just know that when you get through this
your life is gonna be so amazing
I am so excited to get there with you
and spend many many years
making a ton of really good memories with you
I kinda **** at the whole love note thing
so I hope this isn’t a jumbled mess
but I just wanted to tell you so you can wonder less
I love you more than the stars in the sky
This poem is written by the love of my life. He sent it to me in text form, I just put into some sort of poem form. I love him so much, I can't wait to be Mrs. Sierhuis. <3

What are you?
These three words merit a series of actions
at first your eyes light up
your mind is spinning
excited for the opportunity which I so stupidly gave you
next your mouth
oh that wondrous mouth
the corners turn up into a half smile
then it opens ever so slightly
you breath in then run your tongue over your teeth
finally the ****** of these actions
you lean forward and whisper in my ear
one syllable at a time
"your"
"boy"
"friend"

GOD!
I wish I could slap you!
You make me smile in way i never though possible!
I wish I could slap you
but
I think I'll kiss you instead

"Your boyfriend"
I never thought, in a million years
I’d be wiping away all your tears
The very tears that come from fears
Fears instilled in your mind from doubt
Doubt in your mind from silence
Silence from my lack of willingness to share
I caused you to cry
I caused those tears
I caused the doubt
I caused the fear
And yet you continue to love me
Why?
I’ve never known love like this
I don’t understand
I don’t doubt for a moment that you love me
I know that now
But I just don’t understand what you are
Don't you dare say it
but then he does
"Your boyfriend"

Move On
Don't text me
don't call
don't come to my house
dont ask your friends to contact me
leave me alone
I'm moving on
hes so much better...
he actually cares
for more than my body
he will sit
and talk for hours
he will hold me and say its alright
he wont say lets do a quickie
and then leave me sore and bruised and alone
and hurt
he loves me
and I love him
so stop
I'm moving on
you cant hurt me
anymore

See the stars?
Brightly shining
way up high
a breath of smoke
as I sigh
the cold crisp air
envelopes me
the twinkling eyes
wink at me
and tell me
not to be afraid
"Tonight" they say
"Tonight is the night"
I climb into his car
we sit and talk for hours
he open up the door
and looks at me
he says I'm beautiful
"See the stars?" he asks
"I love you more than all the stars"
I smile but inside
I wonder

Little Miss Nobody
I write and I stop
I erase and try again
Nothing, I write
With computer or with pen
No words can form a sentence
To explain how I feel
The rhymes, they come to mind
So, ideas, I will steal
I’ll rewrite what they’ve written
In my own sort of way
I’ll say all the things
And repeat what they say
My own ideas locked up inside
Never to be shared
Its not the fact that I want to hide
But truly that I’m scared
I’m scared to let those feelings out
To write them in a book
These things I want to scream and shout
But then I’d have to look
At the words
On the paper
That will never measure up
To who I want to be
I'm a little miss nobody

Get Over It
Fighting, yelling, screaming
words were said
Did you mean them?
crying, weeping, mourning
Actions done
can't take them back
Broken, shattered, damaged
thoughts were born
now i cannot move

You told me one thing
that will stay with me
forever

"Your mother left you, ok! Get over it!"

I hate you
I hate your perfect smile
Your perfect faith
your perfect family
that I dont fit into
because I dont fit the mold
I hate you...
Get over it
I got in a fight with my adoptive mother and she told me to get over my birth mom giving me up. My birth mom and I had a very tight bond...or so I thought.

Conflicted
I used to love you
from afar
watching your every move
longing for your touch
but you left
and you fell from my reach
and I fell in love with another
a miserable experience
He only loves me
when he sees me
now you're back
and I'm conflicted
because my heart belongs to another
but you want it
and I want you to have it
take it from him
he doesn't deserve it
but I love him
I don't know what to do
so I shall die
tonight
then my heart will belong to God

Pictures
I don't like pictures
they don't tell the whole story
just a fragment of a memory
a snapshot of one emotion
it's suffocating
makes me claustrophobic
I see myself stuck in one moment
so thanks but no thanks
you can keep the photos
don't give them to me
or I will burn them
just as they burn a perfect version of me
into the world's eyes
so that when they see
something that isn't perfect
they look away in disgust
I am a hypocritic conflicting person. Sorry...

Is this even poetry?
Lately, I've been writing
whatever comes to mind
dividing it into
short and choppy lines
writing what I please
as long as it takes shape
no rhyme
or rhythm
or meaning
just words
stale, rancid
words already spoken
tales already told
and I write in the hopes
that someone will glance
upon the poor writing I produce
and say "me too"
is this even poetry anymore?
or am I just ranting to a community
of people who see my work and say
is this even poetry?

Wallow With Me
God!
stop forcing your positive thinking
into my mind
perhaps I just need a moment
to unwind
Im sick and tired of you
telling me what to do
wallow with me
surely there is something
that brings suffering
oh how it pleases me to see you
with despair in your eyes
not because you are in pain
but because it proves
that you are human
that you have feelings
that I'm not alone
So
wipe the smile off your face
and wallow with me

In The Morning
In the morning
when I wake up
the first thing on my mind
is how much I miss you
I miss your hand in mine
I miss your arm around me
I miss your voice
I miss looking into your eyes
and feeling like you are the only person in the world
just thinking about you makes my
s              a                           i
   t       m      c                 l       p
      o                 h        f

and I hope
the first thing on your mind
when you wake up
in the morning
is me

Shakespearean Sonnet
Today I went to the park
But I did not see you there
I stayed until it was dark
I could go anywhere

But instead, I sat on a bench
and read for hours on end
with sadness my heart did wrench
my mind could not comprehend

My beating soul did ache
And tears flew down my chin
Because I knew that it was fake
I won't fall for it again

No matter how I try
The sky will always cry
I actually wrote this one with my classmate Christine Rabe during Brit Lit. We were to write a Shakespearean sonnet styled poem, and this is what we came up within 2 minutes.

I'm Just an Echo
I feel like I am repeating myself
Over and over
Same rhythm
Same rhyme
All points to a time
When my soul began to deteriorate
My poems all reiterate
Simple events that occur to us all
But some will rise
And some will fall
So I guess what I am trying to say
Is that by the end of each day
I feel like I’m repeating myself
And I feel like I’m repeating you
So I’m just an echo

Wishing Well
Hello, my dear friend
I’ve come to make you a deal
A coin for some hope

Love
Love
can be a beautiful thing
like the delicate wing
of a butterfly
in the sky
oh so high
but
when doubt joins the picture
it plants a seed that grows
and festers
on the aching of your heart
and I don't mean
to be dramatic
but for me
doubt is automatic
so when I don't believe it
when you say I love you
remember
I am broken
and you have the glue

Remember?
Have you ever had that moment in your life
when you look up to the sky
and your brain begins to cry
and your soul begins to die
because you know that
this very moment
somebody's making decisions that make incisions
on the dreams, you've had since you were just a kid
remember all the things you did
remember all the pain you hid
behind the mask that you were wearing
remember
                  never
                             sharing
                                          the
                                                thoughts
                                    inside
                           your
                mind
Because if they knew
they'd look differently
at you

I Remember the Rain
I remember the rain
When he died
and the raindrops kissed my face
I remember the rain
When my clothes were torn
and the kids walked away
I remember the rain
when you said goodbye
and the sky turned black
I remember the rain
even when the sky was clear
the sky isn't the only one who can cry

Is It a Good Morning?
Waking up to the singing birds
smelling the morning dew on the grass
breathing in the cold crisp air
feel the sunshine on my skin
eyes closed
then I remember
bruises
black eyes
scratches, scrapes, cuts
That's the reason for this glorious moment
I am sleeping outside
behind the small diner
because of you
Sep 2018 · 230
Why?
Why?
Why do you shut the door
and beat on her so hard
that she can't even scream
When you finish taking out your anger
you walk away as if nothing is wrong
even at such a young age, I would wipe her tears
bandage her wounds
and you sat
and drank
                   and drank
                                      and drank
until it is time to beat her again
what did she do to you?
Why?
Why do you act as if you are the holiest
when you envelope yourself in darkness
and act like nothings wrong?
Why?
Why am I the way I am?
because of you

Daydreams
I don't know how to say
that I care
so friend
please
step away from the edge
I want to say I love you
but my throat
is holding those three words hostage
can't you see the words in my eyes
as I cry in agony
friend
please
look in my eyes
know, understand
pain is real
but life is too
it can be beautiful
if you take my hand
and follow me
into my daydreams

Karma
Good God, give me a break
You know I know you’re fake
I just don’t understand
Why you think you’re in command
Oh Lord just stop it now
They’re gonna figure out
That you just stand and lie
While looking into their eyes

I don’t like the games you play
And trust me you won't get away, cause

Karmas coming your way, trouble’s catching up to you
And baby one of these days, you’ll realize all the things you do
Prepare for some pain, soon you’ll know what you put me through
And maybe one of these days, karma will get through to you
These are actually lyrics from a song I wrote called "Karma".

Shut up
Ugly

You will never be enough
******
            ******
                         loner
                                    weak
You will never be enough

shut up
Shut Up
SHUT UP

Never again
You think you can leave
and I'll come running
back into your arms?
Never again
Too many times you've made me a pawn
in the games you play
I won't do it anymore
I used to be a normal kid
who played with mud and chased boys
but now I sit in darkened rooms
and stare into the void
and it's all because of you
so when you ask for my forgiveness
my answer will be
Never again

Whispers In the Wind
The whispers of ancient advice
Float through the wind
And land in my brain
Perhaps from past persona
Who felt my pain
Unaccepted in the world
For the unique thoughts and words
So they covered up their soul
With a mask made of worldly views
So that they might fit in
With the people who don’t even know
The person inside
The voice says
“Do not hide”

Sacred Dreams
I stand alone
In a darkened night
With the sparkle of stars overhead
I fill my lungs
With the cold night air
With sacred dreams of serenity
There are no words for this moment
The earth stands still as I take a break
From the chaos inside me
This spark in time
Is so divine
I cannot fathom how or who or what or when or why
I deserve this moment tonight
Sep 2018 · 110
Goodbye
This fear, this anger, this pain
All the thoughts inside my brain
Neither medicine or prayers
Could wash away the stain

I’m too weak to draw the lines
Now I have to pay my fines
It just bottles up inside
You couldn’t see the signs

Now I lay here in my grave
This poor soul you could not save
As I lie here in the ground
To death, I am a slave

Oblivious
Can you just try to see my point of view
Instead of thinking about just you
Open up your eyes and see
The demons overcoming me
The winds of rage that rip my mind
The time it takes just to unwind
The pain and sorrow
Hating tomorrow
Wishing it all would end but I’m stuck
In this place until the end because
I’m scared to take a chance
I don’t know what's beyond
Trying to rip from rhythm and rhyme
But I come back to it by the end of time
Stuck in this gloomy mist
This haze that chokes my soul
And pushes me just to the edge
Before yanking me back to the darkest corner in the room
And
You
Are
Oblivious
To
It
All

— The End —
