Ragtag

Just a small quiet girl
holding onto ragtag dreams
stitched together
with patches
of memories
just a small girl
never mind her
such big dreams
that will never come true
I’m just a small little girl...

Just a small little broken girl, spinning stories that will never be.

Soul on display

She dances
with such ferocity
She puts her soul on display
and doesn’t let people
discredit it
where does such confidence arise

Numb

Everyone is so cold
so used to the terrible
that it no longer registers
how did we get so numb
so distant
why is violence a norm
why do the important incidents
never get reported
how did we get so messed up

We all have the capacity for evil.

Uncertainty

If you constantly
remind me of the past
then tell me to be happy
that’s hypocrisy
you opinions are not helpful

Still panic

I can’t scream
I can’t move
I can’t breathe
they air leaves my lungs
but I don’t care
tears well
but do not run
they are still, like me
perhaps only they know
how fragile this moment is

Reckless

What if we all wrote
with reckless abandon
reveling in mistakes
not watching punctuation
or spelling
writing every word
in our souls
till all was right
what if....
we didn’t wait

Outstanding

Do you throw
your smile around
for just anything,
or only
for something outstanding?
