I didn't realize that burying my head in textbooks
Drowning my thoughts in statistical calculations
Masking my emotions with a blank look of contemplation
Was my way of coping
Ashley Haack Mar 2017
And then the ground shook                                                                                    
with a mighty crash,                                                                        
slumbering souls disturbed,                                        
rains drenching the lands,                            
cities crumbled, winds howled.  
She fell to her knees                                                                                                  
on the hard tiled floor,                                                                    
her head filled with screams,                                      
as red ran down her arms                          
the silence slowly encroached.

They are young,
But they've forgotten,
We grow old,
We are the forgotten.

Her words make mighty mountains tremble

Those words
Are just a part
Of the pieces to
This wilting tower,
My crumbling crows nest
Built of the cracked legos that
I stepped on, again, late last night,
While stumbling to the bathroom,
Only guided by the lightning
From the angry sky outside
The window, trying to get
In and drench me to my
Core, chill me to my brittle
Bones, that are bruised
Enough, get out of
My head, just
Let me
Sleep

Day
boys and girls
grab your knifes
rule the worlds
with me tonight
they say
love and words
is all you need
be we're trapped
by insecurity
so today
we'll change the rules
and blow 'em up
don't start a war
but
revolutionize
with passion
ablaze in
our eyes
