Thirty Nine Dec 18

They laughed at the fish
Because he couldn't climb the tree
And laughed at the koala
Because she couldn't swim

My father said
Short poems like these aren't poems at all
But rather a sentence
A box too small to hold metaphors, similes and emotion

parenthood

"All parents are like this"
You said annoyed at your child's 'sensitivity'
Then wonder why your child wont become a mother or father
They won't risk becoming the thing they fear

Untitled

The mind was designed to learn
To expand
And to be curious
So why does school **** so much?

I hate the education system not the teachers

Bleeding Wounds

I don't want to mend my relationship with you
I want to let it bleed
So that everyone can see what you did to me

The night you didn't die

The night you didn't die
Because the rope snapped
Or the razor didn't cut deep enough
Or you didn't take enough pills
You woke up the next day
To realize that nobody noticed

Oil and Water

Its not love
Its abuse
Open your eyes
To see the truth

Oil and water shouldn't go together, just like love and abuse
