painful realization
Allison Parker Aug 2013
why do we cry
is it our body trying to let others know
that we need help?
or rather is it to let ourselves know
that we are not so broken
that we no longer feel pain?

deep roots
Allison Parker Aug 2013
let me into your garden
i want to know
what flowers grow there
i want to watch you care for them
and love them
can you teach me?
how to be a flower?
maybe the you'll take care of me too
i am dying
and long to be waters

who am i
Allison Parker Aug 2013
trying to find the balance
between expressing myself
and looking for attention
is like being it in hide and seek
when you're blind
you know exactly what you want
but haven't the faintest idea
of where to look
