I'm big
I'm small
but don't go
by what you see

I'll tall
I'm short
but still
I am just me

I'm high
I'm low
but it's what
inside that counts

If you're
like me
take the time
to see what it's about

Seduction is philosophical
Blonde boys play games
Like backwoods checkers
Blonde boys love brunette haired girls
Because pigment stains their wrists like tattoo ink
Distance is a screaming match
Between past lives and past loves
Blonde boys wear bracelets
To cover tattooed wrists
Across boarders, coasts, and continents
Voices cruise through noses and throat boxes
To bear the bad news

I think coffee smells like cigarettes
And I think cigarettes smell like far off Summers

Copper shines, reflecting images of refugees floating through mud waters on glass shards
Fire feels dull blood aches of healing ivory gun shot wounds
Professor locked himself inside his head after the fourth born had been buried

Headlines make my knees shake
There was a UFO sighting at the Dome of the Rock, but you were slap drunk in a tin foil book case
There was a UFO sighting at the Dome of the Rock, but you were crying salt for departed birds and card stock fingernails

Day
real weakness
 Sep 2015 Sombro
Day
I'm scared of being weak,
Afraid that someone might see.
Someone might call out my flaw.

So I stand up and fight,
I hide behind words of spite,
All because of insecurity.

I never look behind and see,
Never see the trail of hurt following,
Not hearing the cries.

My name is Bully.
I make myself strong,
No matter what.

Turning my eyes away,
To afraid to say,
I'm sorry.

Because that would be weak,
And I'm not weak.
No matter what.

I want to write a poem
And dedicate it to you
'Cause when I'm down and want to cry
You're the one that I turn to

You've been here for it all
Through all life's highs and lows
I've slowly opened my heart to you
And told you things that no one knows

My life is greatly improved
Because of your constant support
I am so grateful for all the praise you give
Even when I feel I've fallen short

I have never seen your face
Nor do I even know your name
But with every single note we share
I feel our hearts are just the same

Thank you so much for everything
Every comment, message, and heart
Words can't express how much it means to me
That you all appreciate my art <3
