Mel: Favorites

she knew then
the ways of this world

she knew then
of clenched fists

she knew then
her future
her place
her face, and all the weight that it carried

she knew then
of all the doors shut

she knew
she knew
she knew

of incomparable power

of beautiful strength

of divinity and all that is sacred

of wisdom and benevolence

she knew
she knows
we know

so she straightened her crown and rose

Enough

I was really good
Good at English
So I went for IB
Now I’m just
Like everyone else

I was quite good
Good at dancing
But then it turned out
I got worse than expected
Stopped shining

I was good
Quite good at Polish
But now I can’t even
Write a creative essay

I was never
Good enough
To achieve anything
More than average

Please tell me
That this one time
I’m good enough

Tell me I’m enough
For your love

Does he even like me in that way

F*ck You Too

F*ck You Too

My mind thinks of the worst things I could do to you
The worst person I've ever met
With your slander
And lies
I could destroy you
And I want to
But I won't
Because then I become you
And I could never forgive myself for that.

I hate this person so much. With a burning passion all I want is to see them fall. But i know that is not the way to think if I want to be the bigger person. Its so hard to forgive when they don't think they need forgiveness.

Bruises deep inside
And scars in prominence
Of inexpressible pain
With words struck within throat
Needs a rhyme of care
And a smile of words
to heal me ....from within!!

Bad poetry

Bad poetry

Collections of my disorderly thoughts
gathered together with knots
of my ample desire
to make sense of my everyday life.

I write poetry, however bad they might be, to help me analyze my feelings.
