Visions
 Mar 2016 RynThePoet
Lexie
Some days I won't have any words
But on days like these
It seems I have to many
I cannot even say them
For is not silence
Better than a storm
A storm I fear
For it I cannot weather
The flashbacks
And the tears
And these nights
Made of fears
So I will leave you
To do what you wish
With my heart
My mind
And my body
But you do not even
Come close
I cannot feel
Your heart beating
So I must question
If it is even there
But it is okay
I will close my eyes
And return to my world
Where I think
I am a mermaid
Or a unicorn
Sometimes a dragon
Or a fairy
Depending on the day
Either way
I will not
Have to worry
About boys
Or shoes or makeup
Or what to say
For I run free
Or swim
Somedays I can fly
Always I sing
But never alone
It would seem to me
The curtain fell
Before we even began
Our duet
I think
In my heart
That is a waste
Not of talent of gift
But of love and time
For I will always question
Yes
Was it?
A waste?
Of my time
I think not
But yet
I cannot help but wonder
If dreams do fade
Into the horizon
Because the sun
Is shining down
And as awake as I am
And as dead as I feel
I do not even know
The difference between
Alive
And unreal
These visions I create
They are not monsters
Nor are they friend
They simply exist
To help me along
These guides in my mind
Show me the way
For if
I stay
In one place
For to long
So many things
Will start to go wrong
And stuff I do
And stuff I say
Always seem to get in the way
You rocked the boat
And I fell over
And the waves claimed me
It was a chance
It was a dive
And I never thought
Dying
Could make me feel
So alive
But my vision is clouded
My judgement is poor
And all I hear
Is a knock at the door
You call me out
On everything that I am
And I cannot find the strength to stand
You were my crutch
Lifting me enough
But on my own
I am not nearly enough
I am wet and tired
Cold and afraid
And I am alone
In the darkest glade
I think in the dark
That I am an elf
But I took those feelings
And put them on a shelf
They do not belong
Inside of me
I do not need them
Oh let me be!
Alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Singular
And monotone
It is enough
To breathe in air
Even if
You never care
Emotions I hide
In visions so red
And keep them there
Inside of my head
They are strung up
Like Christmas lights
And they give me comfort
In the night
These green walls
They bleed so fast
And all to quickly
Then they pass
I lay here
Upon the floor
The carpet smells of vanilla
I sit here
In this room
My mind all a mess
And I dance in my head
And cry in my heart
And wonder where
It all went wrong
I cannot go back
Afraid to look ahead
And so I lay here
With my hand on my head
And I whisper promises
I cannot hold
But still I cling to them
As if they were gold
I will walk
The streets at night
And look to the moon
For a source of light
And as I raise
My tears to the expanse
I wonder if
This is my chance
I could soar
On wings of skin
And never feel
To fat or to thin
I could feel the wind
As it kissed my face
I would know
This was my place
But no,
It is not to be
I sit here
And start to bleed
As long as this marker
Stains me red
I will return
To your bed
I will crawl
Into your arms
Though you don't love
The girl who self harms
There are a few
Who have seen
The soul that was forged
But many yet
Who walk on by
And they will never learn
What it is
To see ice and fire
As they steam
Higher and higher
To fill the sky
With her love
So it reaches
Much further above
This world could not contain
All her love and all her pain
She never slept inside her mind
It was just a mask
That she hid behind
She says 'Goodnight'
And she whispers 'Goodbye'
And it is sad
That she might die
But still she clings to slivers
Of stabbing hope
A chance for a 'better'
A chance to cope
On a wire I stand
I might yet fall
In the noise I listen
And I hear you call
My name.
And the way you say it
Like a prayer
When my skin is asleep
And my heart is awake
And I wonder
How much more can I take?
So I crawl
Into my cage
To hide myself
From mine own rage
And I kiss my hands
And all their scars
I wonder a little
If I took it to far
So I breathe in
And let you out
Of my heart
It was not your place
Nor was it mine
It was not
The right time
I place my hand
Upon your cheek
And ask you
If in your memory
I could sleep?

A Mothers Voice
The first that you hear kisses your tears and soothes your fears
A Lovers Voice
Who's whispers of *** entice and perplex your body's reflex
An Awesome Voice
That shouts out loud stands up and is proud not lost in the crowd
A Powerful Voice
One that rallies and fights without losing sight asserting its rights
A Survivors Voice**
Riddled with pain no longer in chains her monsters slain
A Warriors Voice
Strong and controlled without being told breaks free of the mold

This is My Voice

All the above
Warm like a glove
And full of love

Happy International Women's Day!!

Before we became
As alive as we should be
I killed us
And took the air away
So that it would hurt less
Especially for you
Because I already know
What it is like
To not be allowed
To breathe
For you it would be painful
And fresh at that
So I never
Let us get there
For me it would be less
Because my lungs
Are already deprived
I do not seek
For your gratitude
And you
Do not ever
Have to acknowledge
Me again
So move on by
With your working lungs
It's okay not to finish
Everything you have begun

I would!

I swear if you ever left
I would care
If you died
I might not know you
But I have felt your pain
I would care
If you gave up
I would understand
And I would also cry
For I was not able
To give you my strength
So you could keep on breathing
I would
I swear
I would
I will
Always care <3
