Shower
Alice Kay Oct 2013
The water is so hot it burns,
but it still isn't burning away the sadness.

Melting away skin is not enough,
if only feelings could melt just as easily

But if that were true
I would never step out of the shower
I just found this from a year ago, decided to post it.

Turmoil of choices
Alice Kay Oct 2013
When you are caught between two choices
you can be

good           bad
and say a prayer            and get angry
                            try to find the best in the situation          blame everyone because you know it's their fault
                                                           act like its fine           let them know that you hate them at the moment
             try to live on and be the better girl by peace           prove you are the better girl by causing them pain

always wanted to go the bad way
but striving towards the good.
My best friend really hurt me recently and I'm trying so hard not to lash out because I know it will just make things worse. But it's so difficult because I can physically feel my heart tightening from hurt.

calm turbulence
Alice Kay Sep 2013
Some vortex
or a twist in time
a mistake you can't change
Your favorite memory that you forgot.

One moment passes
as you watch it go,
another one is already gone.

Never stop looking forward
you never want to miss what's coming.

because it might be your new favorite moment.
I know I said I wouldn't post here anymore, but this is one so the Alice Kay part of me doesn't die yet :)

Book (Bye guys!)
Alice Kay May 2013
Other people have written parts of the story for me.

I'm done with trying to write it myself

as it is always met with remarks and disappointment, rejection.

Time to close the book.
It's been great being on HelloPoetry!

I've met some amazing people, and read even more amazing poems.

It's been a nice run, but I'm done. Thank you everyone who has followed, liked, and commented on my poems. I appreciate every single one!

Bye guys and happy writing!

Child Star
Alice Kay May 2013
Forced into an adult world

so early, pushed to soon.

When will he ever be a kid?

Not have to run away from the flashes to have some privacy?

And thus we come to the important question.

Even though this is his dream,

should he wait before giving up his whole life to the cameras?


No longer is it a question.

Ready of not he will be forever pushed up onto the stage.

High in a tree
Alice Kay May 2013
You stare off in a day dream,
in a place where you are looking down at your feet,
flying high above the ground.

Dandelion
Alice Kay May 2013
Every bit of air is spent on that one breath
to blow away a dandelion

Every seed scattered will come to rest and then grow
becoming a bright yellow flower that is a symbol of spring.

But do we let them all grow for wishes to be made?
No. The older people learned that dreams don't come true.

So they cut down the flowers before the children can make wishes
and so they can't hope that their wish, something held dear to their heart will become a reality.
Alice Kay May 2013
Everything you want, handed to you
But nothing you need is here

They'll give you the stars, the moon, all the planets.
but you can't have the Earth, you can always die of thirst.

Four Walls, a Hidden Door
Alice Kay May 2013
Nothing to say,
nothing to do.

What do I do now?
Who do I turn to?

One of the best in my life
may soon be gone.

There's no place or person to turn to.
But if nothing is done, it won't be to long.
I'm really bad at rhyming, but I tried!

Black and White
Alice Kay May 2013
The tendrils of smoke,

they drift on the slightest zephyr

and find their way to you

they will find any crack and break you

the smoke from a fire, the sublimation of dry ice

they don't agree but the goal is the same.

Acceptance....maybe?

Fly Love
Alice Kay May 2013
Wasn´t really thinkin',
wasn´t lookin' ,
wasn´t searching for an answer
In the moonlight
When I saw your face

Saw you lookin' at me,
saw you peeking out from under moon beams
Through the palm trees
Swayin' in the breeze

I know, I´m feelin' so much more than ever before
And so I´m giving more to you than I though I could do

Don´t know how it happened, don´t know why, but you don´t
really need a reason
When the stars shine
Just to fall in love

Made to love each other, made to be together, for a life time
In the sunshine
Flying in the sky

I know I´m feelin' so much more than ever before
And so I´m giving more to you than I thought I could do

Now I know love is real
So when the sky high, as the angels try
Letting you and I Fly love
Song sung by Jamie Foxx, this is the english translation.

Final Song
Alice Kay May 2013
I cling onto each note,
each word like a life support system,
and I'm on the decline.
Thanks for paying the hospital bill with
the song,
the words,
the notes
you left behind for me to live off.

System
Alice Kay May 2013
I used to have enough anger and frustration

to go right through a brick wall,

and then build it back up again, just so I could destroy it again.

But they forced it in me.

That yes, you can always be yourself,

but you can't go against our rules.

Everything I have is that will the fight against the systems they have set up.

And the beat all that will, all the fight I had in me out and into the radioactive rivers flowing by

so calmly, so peacefully.

And now I'm nothing

but another clone

another....thing that has been beaten out of their system.

Signs and Sounds
Alice Kay May 2013
Every teacher, producer, moneymaker.

They fly by with their huge signs and loud prints.

Everything is a constant cramming in

REMEMBER THIS!!

BUY THIS!!

DON'T BUY THAT!! THIS IS BETTER!!

DON'T FORGET TO STUDY FOR THE TEST!!


No one shuts up,

or burns down those signs.


Maybe someday things will get better,

But they won't.

One day our eyes will burn out

our ears blow.


And maybe then we'll have some peace.

Life
Alice Kay May 2013
Why should I keep going?

We spend half our lives preparing for the other half of our lives.

And half of those halves of our lives are spent doing nothing.

are spent doing nothing other then studying, preparing for things to come (that never even come)
Is this way of living really the right way?

To late
Alice Kay May 2013
A simple jump,

like so many others.

Only this one would be defining for so many people.

She was at the very end,

nothing was worth living for.

She had made up her mind when she stepped off with her eyes closed.

But as she felt herself fall she realized

that this isn't what she wanted,

she needed to live,

to live and fix all her mistakes, say a few sorries.

There was so much she hadn't said to those that cared about her

and that she cared about.

How did she forget them right before she jumped?

But now there is nothing to hold on to but air.


It's to late.

Paper and Twigs

She's the girl with the spring in her step,
a posture and attitude that radiates confidence.

Lecture
Alice Kay Apr 2013
I don't currently feel like giving anyone a lecture,
so I'll try to put it simply.

If you keep setting your mind on the negative,
you will never be anywhere near positive
and you will never be better (which, I might add, you say you are try to do)
and you will end up alone in life and even more miserable then you are now
(or say that you are) and then you might actually end up where you think you are heading now (dead)

You are always rated to someone else.

No one cares any personal improvement.

If you don't win, you aren;t good enough.
This is directed at my track coach. She is never happy with anyone except for 5 minutes after they win first (nothing less is allowed) and then they are back to the "You never try your best, and never care" :/
