nobody
Destract me, quickly
I'm starting to see...
I don't want to feel nothing
I don't want to be empty
Everything is detracting me
I'm starting to see...
I don't want to feel anything
I just want to be clean
The best medicine is destration... August 3rd 2016

I am trying to be a poet
but I felt like your poem.
Am I an artist or
am I the remnants of your paint
splattered on my favorite jeans?
Or the beautiful words you gave me
including "I'm sorry"?
I am trying to be a poet
but the words get spit back in the bottle
and stick with strangers who I have told too much to.
Am I a writer
Or am I just gagging on the words you threw at me
when you smashed the plates
and slammed the door?
I am trying to be a poet.
But I am tired.
Isn't
That
Poetry?
My head falls deep into
Her shoulders, gently,
As she would not need to nudge.

My Arm finds its place around her back,
Stalking in good terms,
I lean and feel receptive touch.

I feel as though
My approach was out of place.
My hand throttles back, firmly, But in fluid grace.
I put it out in winter soft,
That she might not resort to sob.
I prepare to leave my seat as if told,
Remarking her that it was out of love
Do you remember that cliche scene in movies when a guy asks a girl to watch a movie, and when they sit together, the camera focuses on the guy as he attempts to make "the first move" and puts his arm around the back of the girl's seat...and he fails
-this is pretty much what the poem's all about

Beauty comes from within
But I can't picture it without good lighting?
And I don't like going outside
And it doesn't exist in my house

Lose it
to
The sound

Just keep breathing
And
Dreaming out loud
I like music to much

We've got to the point where people are accepting peoples differences.
However, are yet to get to the stage where those who accept will support aswell.
It's your soul letting you know
