Which Way's Home?
Skyler M Aug 2022
Let's take this operation and send it south,
Where all the hopeless children go to rot,
Im a carcass with a soul,
An angel with no God.

You better stay inside,
Watch the sun come hither,
To destroy our purgatory,
Well, I say bring it on,
Show them I'm not afraid to die.

Let's take this operation and send it south,
Where all the sinner children go to scream,
I'm a coffin without a tomb,
A demon with leftover love.

When you don't know,
Which way's home,
Look to the sky,
I'll send you the bird,
With mischievous glee.
Skyler M Aug 2022
To the municipality of my right side brain,
I send you this letter wishing you well,
Asking you kindly for a drop of water,
I know the well has been run dry,
And the rivers are beginning to tire,
Know I'd be forever in debt,
If I were spared just a drop of water.

Villain
Skyler M Aug 2022
YOURE A VILLAIN
YOURE A VILLAIN
YOU’RE A VILLAIN
OH MR. DEAF MAN
YOU’RE A VILLAIN
OH MR. DEAF MAN

Call us crazy,
Write the slurs,
Every name in the book,
And he’s scared,
You’ve scared him now.

YOU’RE A VILLAIN
YOU’RE A VILLAIN
YOU’RE A VILLAIN
OH MR. DEAF MAN
YOU’RE A VILLAIN
OH, MR DEAF MAN

Find a home inside your hate,
Scream at us when we won’t break,
Videos to prove the discomfort,
Are now all hidden inside.

Blame It
Skyler M Aug 2022
There's a head on my shoulder,
I'm detached from the floor,
Nothing unusual but it feels brutal,
Though I feel pretty glued,
For now, while the head's on my shoulder.

From a racing heart,
To exhaling smoke,
I'll blame it on the ****.

By A Thread
Skyler M Aug 2022
It's all a state of limbo,
The sound of the song,
To the rhyme of the lyrics,
I can't get it out,
If I'm not quick enough,
I feel it well up inside,
To the point where,
It's all gonna explode,
And I could make a mess,
I'm certainly a mess,
I know my bedroom floor,
It would hate to be dirtied.

A Touch Of Cinnamon
Skyler M Aug 2022
Now, sir, where have you taken my heart?
It's not at the dump cause I'm feeling great,
And it's not in limbo cause I've got closure,
So what have you done?

I think there's something special in the works,
Brewing and stewing in my vocal chords,
I could call it an, 'I love you' but it's too soon,
The center is still much too cold,
I hope you won't mind the wait.

There's a touch I'd like from you,
It's more than just the touch of lust,
The hand that's gentle and warm,
Like a cup of fresh cocoa.

I know there's something special in the works,
A buttery sweet sort of brew to sip upon,
I might begin to call it an 'I love you' but in due time,
The ingredients haven't all been added,
I hope you won't mind the wait.

Even as I dance with you,
A cheesy ballad or two,
Maybe a cuddle to boot,
now, sir, there's nowhere else I'd be.

I think there's something special in the works,
Brewing and stewing in my vocal chords,
I could call it an, 'I love you' but it's too soon,
The center is still much too cold,
I hope you won't mind the wait.

Screw Up Vibes
Skyler M Aug 2022
I'm gonna self destruct,
Drop everything and break it off,
Color my limbs every shade of red,
Make sure that you know I'm done.
I'm ******* done.

**** up
***** up
Calling out
Going out
Am I gonna get another chance?

Told you all my faults and left,
Insulted you and put you down,
I didnt really mean it but how else do I live with this stress?
This happens every time I feel pressure building.
So I tell you to ******* and I dip out.

Ivory Fanged
Skyler M Jul 2022
It's a forest parted from the trees,
All of it is incomplete,
I will run until I’m free,
Till the end of dooms-day,
Faced by the wretched beasts,
Radioactive six foot wolves,
Mutated hungry killer bears,
Am I here to be consumed?
Or do I concede to them?
Never free am I then?

Made to hate my bones,
Came too close to a grave,
Underneath the porch I'll stay,
To hide from the ivory fangs.

Clever, Clever Cookie
Skyler M Jul 2022
If there has ever been a time for me to hide,
It's now cause the tide is coming in high,
Oh, mighty sky, I can't see through to the outside,
I see the walls, how they climb into a terrifying lie.

I've broken my leg one too many times,
In fact, it might have been exactly nine,
I'll thank heaven that I wasn't born a feline,
I'm a clever ruse hidden inside a fallacious disguise.

It's this pride I've locked eyes with,
I refuse to ever say goodbye cause this vibe,
My dancing shoes are on and I'm getting high,
Oh, wretched fright, I want to see inside your mind,
Do you trust me to go with the flow and jive?

Limping across the sand to the lifeguard's stand,
And within my hand I will find a land,
It's my land, my brand, an undeniable dance.

Tongue-tied
Skyler M Jul 2022
If you're tired of the storm, like me,
Then come sit by the fire, by me,
There's stories to be told, you see,
He's not making the storm, the sea.

Tie your tongue into a knot,
You don't know the wars we fought,
While you searched the land for a plot,
We were lost deep inside the maw.

Alive Inside the Walls
Skyler M Jul 2022
Get into your seat, writer,
Find your home inside the ink,
Construct the walls out of paper,
Your desk out of pencils,
And your pipes out of hollowed pens.

I know you fell for the feeling,
But it's easy to get lost in it all,
If you walked away now,
I know you'd go insane.

Upon your mirrors there's words,
Reflections that spell your introspection,
Flip it around cause it's too much noise,
Cause, writer, the sound is burdening you.

I know you fell for the feeling,
But it's easy to get lost with it all,
Crashing down on your thin walls,
I know you're going insane.

Final Bow
Skyler M Jul 2022
Your bones got colder and your blood got thinner
I see you've been cut so you're sure to bleed out,
All the while your eyes are dimmer,
and you are so much slimmer,
You don't have a lot of time until your light goes out.

You beg, "hush now",
Silence from the crowd,
You're wondering how,
You'll take your final bow.

Dragging Behind
Skyler M Jul 2022
You’re dragging behind
Dragging behind,
Your kids left you behind,
Slagging behind

Maybe if you were more kind,
The eldest wouldn't have left you behind,
Maybe if you gave him peace of mind,
The middle wouldn't have left you behind,
Maybe if you never commented on her outline,
The youngest wouldn't have left you behind.

You’re dragging behind
Dragging behind,
Your kids left you behind,
Slacking behind as you whine.

In time,
I know that you will find,
Karma loves to feast on the rind,
Of those who are purposefully purblind.

Barbed Wire
Skyler M Jul 2022
Sunrise is my best friend,
When I’m up till 4am,
Kindly trying to pretend,
I chose her to defend,
But in the end,
Solar flares can’t amend.

Bury my feet in wires,
Spray my hands with fire,
I’ll take the smoke higher,
Blame the flames, I’m not a crier.

I welcome the sunlight in,
It’ll brush against my chin,
Pulling my lips into a grin,
She knows when I’ll begin,
To start a riot with my kin,
But then again,
I will never win.

Bury my feet in wires,
Spray my hands with fire,
I’ll take the smoke higher,
Blame the flames, I’m not a crier.

Don’t you go,
I can’t bare to be alone,
In the evening I’m more prone,
To leave the house and roam,
On the streets, I hear his tone,
The moon knows I’m getting cold,
He’s urging to head on home,
No I won’t
No I won’t
No I won’t

All Our Guts
Skyler M Jun 2022
The ramifications tear my guts apart,

All our guts apart,

This is our guts being pulled apart,

for the children,

The ramifications for the trans,

for the enby,

The ramifications for the women,

for anyone.

How many will die in just a week?

S.C.O.T.U.S
Skyler M Jun 2022
Send around the violent mend,
On the precipice of a bend,
A ****** that sees no end,
From a tired decrepit friend.

Eroded bones of gold,
As we dig into the fold,
"Use your words" I was told,
Words don't work on black mold.

Oh, I See.
Skyler M Jun 2022
Get your ***** hands off of us,
Shove your prehistoric lips into the floor,
Rug burn up your paper thin skin,
Splintered your hollow bones.

Those two got a track record,
Here's to the brandy drunk uncles,
hooded back street lurkers,
and the bar top companions who go by one rule, "you snooze, you loose."

Thoughts and prayers, I love the savior,
Mister Joe, you've got our back,
Tell me what you have up your sleeve,
Next it'll be just an 'abracadabra' away.

Improvisational Chords
Skyler M Jun 2022
Where am I if I’m not standing,
There’s a play I want to be in,
I wish I didn’t shake and cry,
Every time I try to fight back.

My arms go limp,
Then my eyes tear up,
Finally, I loose all feeling in my legs,
I refuse to hand in my self-respect.

I hurt the morals I stand for,
No I won't lower the bar I set,
There’s a pale morning light but,
I still haven’t understood where my hands lay.

My arms go limp,
Then my eyes tear up,
Finally, I loose all feeling in my legs,
I refuse to hand in my self-respect.

Worked so hard to find my peaceful twilight hour,
At some point I’ll pull a golden curtain's rope,
Something that never comes without a fine,
I will not keep my pride for your sake,
I know not all that I say is right
There’s a stage and a song that calls,
I’m going on, entering from stage right,
Tripping over my ankles but that’s in the script.
Upon the stage I see there’s a telephone,
I answer to find my stage directions,
Follow until the prologue completes,
I won’t need directions for Chapter 1.

My arms go limp,
Then my eyes tear up,
Finally, I loose all feeling in my legs,
I refuse to hand in my self-respect.

Land of Freedom
Skyler M Jun 2022
Say the US is the land of the free
Starting to think that's the thing,
You've been so obscenely free,
Free to run your mouth,
Free to brandish your gun,
Free to take, steal, and ****.

Aren't you proud?
Oh aren't you proud!
Daddy's favorite side of the earth.

****** on a Sunday,
That’s good money you paid
Oh boy, you just can’t wait,
To make their world mold away.

Aren't you proud?
Oh aren't you proud!
Daddy's favorite side of the earth.

Dragging death on a Monday,
See their skin begin to fade,
As if slowly peeled with a blade,
This is a mess that you have made,
No regret for inflicted pain.

Aren't you proud?
Oh aren't you proud!
Daddy's favorite side of the earth.

Say it again, the land of the free,
In the middle I will never meet,
Cause all you ever do is squeal,
You don't know how to conceal,
Your historical cannibalistic meals.

Self-Infliction
Skyler M Jun 2022
Just fresh out of my teens
Now fresh out of dopamine,
Good thing I’m full on fluoxetine,
All my vacant dreaming scenes,
Cut, now, tell me what it means.

I’ve fallen in between,
I’m my own misery,
A breech delivery,
In all my holy glory.

Look away from my tattered rind,
Fell away, I’m naked and unconfined,
“Kiss my ***” tatted on my behind,
Is anyone inclined to **** the divine,
It’s all sibylline story time, in my mind.

I’ve fallen in between,
I’m my own misery,
A breech delivery,
In all my holy glory.

Red dots trained on my cranium,
Bullets full of lithium and ******,
Collapse inside the auditorium,
Shot down for hefty sums,
Go ahead and sell my lungs.
Sell both my lungs and then my tongue,
Come on lets go you ******* ***,
Sell both my lungs and then my fun,
Come on let’s go become totally numb.

I’ve fallen in between,
I’m my own misery,
A breech delivery,
In all my holy glory.

Mortality
Skyler M Jun 2022
You’re right, I haven’t got a clue,
I’m chinaware and easy to abuse,
Deaf to every new break through,
Your worldview needs a peer review.

Beaten tender,
Return to sender,
Frail transgender,
On a ******.

You're right, I won't be here for long,
I'm moving on and feeling headstrong,
Sure I'll play along but I won't sing your song,
Without you, I've been redrawn, ripped up my lawn.

Beaten tender,
Return to sender,
Frail transgender,
On a ******.
Skyler M Jun 2022
The cops and my boot licking boys,
Start a gun show but no guns show,
We are the miracle that America so desperately needs,
To prove it to you here’s the constitution,
In the fine print we can read, “In America the white men are free,”

We will subdue your women,
We will **** all your liberals,
We will bless all the gays,
We yearn for the old American ways.

It's the third civil war, oh galore, all the gore,
I implore you run cause it's you I'm gonna come for,
Won't be a bore, no more, we'll settle the score,
More and more, I'll cut your bones you *****,
Populate the world with white hoods, preach the lore.

We subdued all the women,
We killed all the liberals,
We blessed all the gays,
We cherish the old American ways.

We subdued all the women,
We killed all the liberals,
We blessed all the gays,
We cherish the old American ways.

Calling For Change
Skyler M Jun 2022
Put down the gun
Put down the gun
We’ve got you son,
We’ve got you son
You’ve had enough fun,
You've had enough fun.

Gunned down the store,
Modified gun, **** man,
Took a step outside,
Made it out alive.

“Let us inside!” They cried
“Let us inside!” They cried
The men in blue won’t abide,
The men in blue won’t abide,
Cover up the **** up, they lied,
It won’t blow over, they lied!

21 and under,
No need to worry about cars,
It’s your survival skills,
What are your exits?
Can you fight?
The rule-makers won’t give up guns,
Now you dropped to second in the food chain,
Arrogant white boys, they won’t die, so they’ll plow on.

12 years, we’ve been hit,
1,400 laid in graves,
Here’s to your souls,
Here’s to the kids,
Here’s to the families,
Here’s to the innocents.
I don’t know where you go,
But I hope you’re happy where you are.

Typical Facade
Skyler M May 2022
I don't care where I'd be,
I'd take anywhere I can drop,
A typical person facade,
And take my heart out of it's box.

I'd lose my mind,
I'd lose my mind otherwise,
Soon, here, now I'll be giving,
Everything I got for the night.

Once it's gotten all out,
I better be a heaving,
non-breathing mess,
Untangled upon a ***** floor,
Non-burdened going further,
Than I ever have before,
It's what I've been looking for,
Years, years of non-concrete fears,
Pushing relentlessly as I'm near,
This is all I want to feel.

I'd lose my mind,
I'd lose my mind otherwise,
Soon, here, now I'll be giving,
Everything I got for the night.

I'd never be alone if I allowed,
For this chance to slip below,
I know I have just an hour,
The numbing pressure to cower,
Is so viciously overpowering.

Heavy Shoulders
Skyler M May 2022
The air is feeling quite tight,
Heavy weight on the shoulders,
All the eyes inside aren’t too bright,
Churning in an earth-shattering fight.

Must I write of every tragedy?
Does it accomplish what I want?
Or is it a selfish, eccentric perspective?
I don’t really care to correct it.

Coming On. Dead On.
Skyler M May 2022
Another day with another list of victims,
I'm learning of our newest tragedy,
Brainwashed the world to believe we're free.

Now it's all coming out super clear,
Rolling out from the media's factory,
Man, look at this absolute travesty,
Too bad I can't read the whole story,
Cause I don't pay the monthly fee.

Another day where the white gunman lives,
Talked down with the trigger in between his fingers,
With the kids littered by his feet,
Why didn't they **** the ******* ****?

I hope I see the rest of the country,
Pull the flag off of their eyes,
Cause the cops are power-drenched,
Killing all the innocent ones,
Cause they're all addicts and thugs,
Never mind their empty hands.

It's alright.
Course it's easy to wipe the drug blights,
'cause the blue hides the red.

Another year and the more I dread,
Hope keeps getting flipped on its head,
It seems to me that signing threads,
Doesn't do **** to change governments,
I think it'll take a little more than being gents',
Fight for the rights we've barely got.

Facade Of The Decades
Skyler M May 2022
I'm the trouble in the air,
The monster under the stair,
Building myself an evil lair,
I know 'cause I don't ******* care.

You will never know the face,
Behind this killer nutcase,
Line me up and pull the mace
Maybe then you'll feel His grace!

Hang me up to dry on a cross,
Long enough and I'll grow moss,
It's a revolution I will cause,
Look out below cause Im ******* crossed!

You will never know the face,
Behind this killer nutcase,
Line me up and pull the mace
Maybe then you'll feel His grace!

I dare you to flee from this beast,
Cause I'll pull you down to feast,
Upon your ***** flesh, you ******* reek,
Tear you up, I have been unleashed.

I will know the face of God,
Uncover His killer facade,
He will beg for you to give laud,
Beg not, you'll lock eyes with a firing squad.

American Dolls
Skyler M May 2022
Don’t wanna be restrained to,
Allow for the politicians abuse,
Freedom from the celebrity ruse,
As I struggle with these hues,
Red, White, and Blue.

We’re like toys,
We make noise,
Bring them joy,
We’re easy to poise.

Grab me by my hair,
Throw me in the chair,
Scream at me, “It’s not fair!,”
You say, “You’re a burden I can’t bare.”
I’ll kick your teeth out, it’s only fair.

Life couldn’t give you a more silver spoon,
Sat up in your high chair, tightening our noose,
Drinking from a sippy cup, it’s alcohol abuse,
I hope you forget that karma is on the loose.
Cause we’re coming for you.

Half-dead brutes,
***** of dried prunes,
Master of child abuse,
You are the fake news.

Others will avoid,
You will destroy,
The bombs you deploy,
For the middle east oil,
Brainwashed toys are easy to exploit.

My Hideout is a Tub
Skyler M May 2022
I can’t gain any weight,
I will never like my height,
I won't look in my mirror,
Cause there's bound to be,
This boy who's so incomplete.

Phasing in and out,
Picking at the yellow grout,
Taking a bite of raw trout,
Inside my tub, my hideout.

Sometimes I feel so real,
Other times I’m Saint Gabriel,
Sending letters out my tracheal,
The atoms of mine wholly immaterial.

Befriending a nightmare or two,
They are my disappearing purple glue,
Holding the sole of my irreplaceable shoe,
The padding inside is sky-blue powdery mildew.

Holy Cannoli!?
Skyler M May 2022
It's funny you think heaven will let you in,
When all you've done is blame the sin,
Did He never say, "Love Thy Neighbor"?
I beg of you to do me one little favor.

Pull out your wholly rotten teeth,
Cut off your boot-licking tongue,
Cram your throat full with holy script,
And stitch up your quivering God-fearing lips.

Take just one swing, fellow sinner,
It'll just give me another good excuse,
With a few good kicks, I'll curb-stomp you,
Straight to Hell 'cause you burnt my fuse.

Pull out your wholly rotten teeth,
Cut off your boot-licking tongue,
Cram your throat full with holy script,
And stitch up your quivering God-fearing lips.

I don't fear your guns,
I just fear for you,
No, I don't fear your guns,
I'll count to three, we'll have some fun.
For legal reasons: I won't be doing any of the violent acts described above. ;)

Trained Well
Skyler M Apr 2022
Screaming baby on haunted doors,
Cereal running off the store shelves,
Spectral shining house of solid gold,
Truth been told in the sight of the moon.

I want to know where,
I want to know when,
I want to know who you are,
Beyond what I’ve been allowed to see.

God said that similar traits aren’t friends,
Discordant houses won’t know the good end,
Old blood can’t enjoy their new blood,
Rub the face with **** and mud,
Show the puppy dog what's been done.
I call *******. Hit Dad in his dried up prune head!

I want to know where,
I want to know when,
Yeah I want to know who you are,
I want to know where,
Beyond the bird prints by your eyes.

Demon hauled out of yellowed plastic sheets,
Tailing Lucifer down to where it reeks,
Anti-heroes are full of rotten fun,
Devil pushes, I bid farewell,
Bulging grey pavement falls away and fades.

I know the game I played,
I know the pain I made,
I know the brains I plague,
You're helping a monster who’s defense is serrated,
Cutting talons and spikes still it seems he's hated,
A beast who'd prefer not to be.

I want to know where,
I want to know when,
I want to know who you are,
Beyond what I’ve been allowed to see.
At least I know you see me.

Just ***** inside and ***** outside,
It’s not mud ill truthfully confide,
Got caught, spider trap, cause you weren’t doing time,
Vampire bat bit my neck I can’t feel any limb of mine,
Tiny body of bones and red fruit punch liquid, oh yeah, you’re super pure, likewise!
Now I’ll show you something,
Yeah, I’ll ******* show you loving!

I’m a ***** little birdy

Keep telling me I’m “Purdy”
Just so mature
Just so mature
So mature, yes sir!

If I could. Oh, if I could.
Take my time, you stay tied,
Black chair, plastic sheets,

By the end I’ll bleed you dry,
Just for that, I’d pay the price.

Own Up

You work hard
To make this house a home
Then turn around
And break all my bones.

Come down through the mountain range,
Hop off of your high horse, he's been smoking,
You've been gloating and bloating,
Telling fables of how our house is blazing,
A nuclear family who's your pride,
Cause we are sticking by your side,
Glued-tight at the seams, turn on the beams,
The glare will blind our closest,
Is it worth it to not disclose it?

You work hard,
To give this house some gloom,
You don't care to see the children bloom,
Cause nothings worth losing your little kids,
You own us. You own our things, You own our love.
You own our home, You own our food.
Would you ever own up?

Helluva Sinner
Skyler M Mar 2022
I am a stain,
and I am a saint,
I've never confessed,
And I swear I've lied,
At least a thousand times.

If you keep up with me,
You'll pray to the Devil,
And loose all your morals,
I will savor the fire He rains.

I will walk the lines,
That trace my pentagon,
Cause I'm a sinner,
Eating Christ for dinner.

If you keep up with me,
You'll pray to the Devil,
And loose all your morals,
I will savor the fire He rains.

A blight in your sight,
I will tempt you to Hell,
In all my lavish seduction,
A burning desire to do you.

Does it feel better?
When God points your compass?

If he were proven unreal.
Where would you go?
Would you burglarize?
Would you assault?

Would  you  ****?
If you believe morals are reliant on a higher power?
You gotta reevaluate your own morals.

Unstable
Skyler M Mar 2022
I feel unstable,
Like a fairytale,
Walking home,
Driving home,
Flying home,
On my own.

Complicated
Skyler M Mar 2022
Build me up from the bottom,
I was wholly rotten,
From the inside to out,
So blatantly incorrect.

                             "Just an unfortunate mistake."

Least I've got love,
Least I've got heart,
Least I've got a roof,
Least I've got food.

What if it's not enough?
Oh, I suppose it's not enough.

                             "Rotten monster
                                                         Selfish creature"

I wanna see the stars.
It's just so much to ask.

The world doesn't work well for me,
I work for the world but inefficiently.
Constantly crying and breaking down.

                              "Pitiful adult
                                                      Utter­ burden"

It goes on and on.
This intersectional conundrum.
It's me. I'm the problem.

I can see where I'm worth.
So It's not me that's a problem.

It's the world that has no step stool.
The people like me know what I mean.

Praying despite misbelieving.
Lord how could I work through this?

Might as well.
Or no.

What if it's not enough?
Oh, I suppose it's not enough.
Never enough.

Scattered
Skyler M Mar 2022
Pick the pieces of me off the ground,
Then scatter them around,
Don't bother to sneak,
I won't ever know,
Cause I can't hear a sound.
Skyler M Mar 2022
The worst of the worst,
Has seared itself into my cranium,
Cementing itself as scar tissue,
An ailment that'll never fade away.

The best of the best,
Worn out and transparent,
Slipping away with every blink,
Poignant moments that have jaded.
Trauma
_______
1.
a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.
"a personal trauma like the death of (my childhood)"

Plunderer
Skyler M Mar 2022
Twist and contort my voice into something unrecognizable,
So I can feel something other than my own self-destruction.
A fortnight or two until I'm totally blue,
Water cast to fire just to satiate his primal desire.

I've got not much to walk for,
Nothing to run for,
Nothing to scream for,
It's all just a chore.

Carry me down my own obsidian path,
Leave you barefoot to slip and bleed.
Only then you'll see what it feels to be me,
Maybe then you'll hold me closer and tighter than before.

I've got not much to walk for,
Nothing to run for,
Nothing to scream for,
It's all just a chore.

Let me watch the sun drown in the shimmering lake,
Why do you always block the beautiful view?
Doesn't it make sense that I have stopped respecting you,
For all that you do, For all that you say,
How is it any stretch to feel so enraged.

Remold
Skyler M Mar 2022
"Come home"
"Come home"
"Come home!" she begged me so.

"I won't"
"I won't"
"I won't!" I told her so.

"You're mold"
"You're mold"
"You're mold!" he's shouted at me so.

"I'm already home,
At a place that I can fold,
Breathe without a head cold,
Where I own all my clothes,
Won't come back 'til he's been remold."

Nitup's Force
Skyler M Mar 2022
My dog is better than yours,
Bigger than yours,
Meaner than yours,
Prettier than yours.
My dog is better than yours.

I know so because yours cowers,
I know so because yours cries,
I know so because yours hides.

I am better than you,
On a horse,
Shirtless too,
Dominant force,
I am better than you.

I know so because you're weak,
I know so because you're broken,
I know so because you don't have me.

5'3, I think?
Skyler M Mar 2022
Fair to say I wanna be tall,
Standing 5’3 but I’m not picky,
I just wanna see over the forestry.
I think im 5'3..but i might be 5'4?

Pawns
Skyler M Mar 2022
Sun setting over the suburbia,
Pale orange light reflecting into my eyes,
From shuttered windows on the second floors,
Golden hour just doesn't feel as right as yesterday.

Far outside of my point of view,
The president is a soldier for his country,
Kissed his wife and kid goodbye,
He says he might not see them tomorrow night.

Rain over, and over,
These bombshells falling,
Tears from the school and the orphanage,
God forbid, they fight for their dreams.

When your own people,
Surrender their weapons,
Cry to the enemies to finish this war.

Your reign.
will come.
To an end.

Friday Night Bonfires
Skyler M Feb 2022
Blinded by a setting sun,
8pm on a summer night,
You say to me,
"My, my, look into those eyes."
Looking back at you is the sun,
His eyes are deep down brown.

Why won't you leave?
I'm begging, please.
Blinded by a marital dream,
Don't see the harm we receive.

Spend the midnight hours,
Rummaging through the old,
You say now,
"I could be free. Maybe one day I will be."
Looking down upon you is...


Wretched hands that don't believe,
Who am I to speak,
Except I'm the one who felt it,
Searing. Burning. Cutting flesh.
To the bone. Through the marrow.
Screaming till the throat is ******,
I know who I am but I'm not real,
An imaginary character to the sun.
Did I wrap the moon around my..
broken and bruised finger?

Why won't you leave?
I'm begging, please.
Blinded by a marital dream,
Don't see the harm you receive.

Rats In My Basement
Skyler M Feb 2022
There are rats in my basement,
Crawling through cracks in the pavement,
I can hear their chatter, how they crave it,
Their hollow skins soon to cave in.

Join me and rejoice,
He will give a new vice,
One to see all the putrid sights,
We are all living blights.

Expect A Fish to Climb
Skyler M Feb 2022
Does anyone really listen?
Unless I've got something to give them?
A confusing creature made of something?
But maybe it's just my head?
Never-mind, nothing.

Problem is, I'm tired of being rushed in,
I'm not ready for the consequences,
I've been told all I gotta do is tough it,
Pull my big boy ******* up and dive in.

The world wasn't built for my kind,
Hope you know they're all friends of mine,
Far and few between from the other side,
Don't know how to help them thrive, on the outside.

Problem is, I'm tired of being rushed in,
I'm not ready for the consequences,
I've been told all I gotta do is tough it,
Pull my big boy ******* up and dive in.
