They’re everywhere
In the halls of school
Crevasses of my home
Holding my secrets
My pains
My lies
My love
They sometimes are found
And ignored
The bottles want found
They want to be known about
But they never will
Until someone special will come along
And actually care why there's a bottle
Open it
Read my pain
Secrets
Lies
Love
And help

Drip
Drip
It’s pouring down
Leaking
My eyes
My heart
They leak like the rain
Heavy
Light
People get out their umbrellas
To ignore my pleas for help
To ignore my pain
And they walk away
To get away from the rain

Fire roars
Blood runs
People don’t see
They never will
Ice cracks
Tears shine
People don’t know
They never will
Stones break
Screams muffled
People don’t care
They never will
Together the pain feels unbearable,
undurable
But yet,
I survive
Drowning in my silence.

Tiny little stones
Littering the ground
Like shattered glass
Shards of the moon
Can’t be diamonds
Couldn’t be pearls
You’re something greater than those
You can make even the smallest difference
You, my little stones
My little shards of ice
With your hint of blue deep in the eye
Must be the opals
Precious little opals

Nothing changes on beaches
Same Sand
Same ocean
Same Trees
But the people come and go
Leaving little reminders
Footprints in the sand
They leave slowly
The tide washing the marks away
Leaving a clean slate
New beach
No reminders of what has happened
No little marks
But the sand remembers
The sand never goes
Sand never forgets
