that drunken slur
allie Apr 2017
Every morning the sun rises.
Every night the moon appears,
along with the drunken slur.
The stumble in your step.
The cloudy glaze in your eyes.
The heavy smell of alcohol on your clothes.
The mood swings that pull you side to side.
Flushed, red cheeks.
Screaming voices.
Slapping hands on skin.

I ask that small, feeble question.
*'Are you a drunk?'
I've been wanting to write this out for a while, so here it is.

If you sit on the chair
Will you watch me stare?
At your thin arms
Missing your old farm

She moved you here
And year after year
I look at your falling face
And think about your case

And this place
Is hidden from space
And it can embrace
Your grace.
Bad news came in. My grandfather had a stroke, so there goes the mood.

Is that me?

Is that my name up on that list?
Does someone know that I exist?
Is this a mistake?
Am I even awake?
Pinch me now to make sure...
Ow!
Is my name in black and white?
Maybe I'm doing something right
Wow! I feel so much better than before.

Callback list came out for a solo and made it! Legally Blonde (cheesy, I know, sorry) shows that perfectly.

Silent Pieces
allie Apr 2017
The Clouds whisper small words to me, scared to try. The Sky screams and flails, to angry to think. The Boat simply lays there and watches the scene of the clouds and the sky roll onto each other. Again and again they fight, Anger and Terror throws punches.

Yet the Boat* simply sits and watches.

Life is sweet.

Otherwise you won't taste the sweetness if has to offer.

Why?
allie Apr 2017
Rolling hills sigh.
No, I will not stay for them, I tell myself.
Yet I leave the container that grapples me.
I climb their sorrows. I climb their suffering.
No, I will not stay for them, I cry as I I cling to them.
Animals chitter with laughter as they scuttle by.
Who told you to grow into the trees that grip your ground?
Who told you that people were allowed to make you slowly destroy yourself?
Why did you let people build on you so they slowly demolished you?
*Why?

White papers fly around the room. Pages filled with various marks, but my eyes are glued to one letter.

The Separation.
allie Apr 2017
Looking down, I sigh.
Looking up, I smile.
Happily I climb
The mountain of
Separation.

I reach your side.
I hold your hand
I smile at you.
Finally,
We are
One.

The magical feeling that
Swarms me,
Executes my Sadness
And brings forth
The feeling
Of
Solitude.

We banished the mountain
Sure, we harmed a few
Wrecking *****.
But,
To see your green eyes again,
It was
Worth It.

I let the
Love into my heart.
It made me grow
It made me light up.
That stupid Mountain of Separation
Is utterly destroyed
Into
Pieces of imagination.
Today, something special happened. And, as someone I know would say, It Has Made All The Difference.

Magic.
allie Apr 2017
Magic.
It flies, yet stays still.
It wanders around aimlessly,
No home, no resting place.
It kills, it relies on the lives of others.
The polar opposites flee to it, and fight.
Sorrow drapes its arm over it,
protecting it for any hope of happiness
So sadness and madness is all it knows.
So it still flies around aimlessly, yet it stays still.
It has no home, no resting place.
It kills, yet relies on the lives of others.
Magic.

Not Today
allie Apr 2017
I don't know why
I just feel I'm better off
Staying in the same room I was born in
I look outside
And see a whole world better off
Without me in it trying to transform it

You are out of my mind,
You aren't seeing my side,
You waste all this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind

Listen, I know
This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
Who I feel I am right now

You are out of my mind, ooh
You aren't seeing my side, ooh
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind

Heard you say
Not today
Tore the curtains down
Windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice
There's no choice
Tore the curtains down
Windows open, now make a noise

Oh, don't you test me, no
Just because I play the piano
Doesn't mean not
I'm not willing to take you down
I'm sorry

I'm, I'm out of my mind,
I'm, I'm not seeing things right,
I waste all this time trying to run from you
But I'm, I'm out of my mind

Heard you say
Not today
Tore the curtains down
Windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice
There's no choice
Tore the curtains down
Windows open, now make a noise

You are out of my mind
You aren't seeing my side
You waste all of this time trying to get to me
But you are out of my mind

Heard you say
Not today
Tore the curtains down
Windows open, now make a sound
Heard your voice
There's no choice
Tore the curtains down
Windows open, now make a noise.
I can't take the credit.. Song lyrics sometimes create the best poems.

I think and I think
Pondering slightly under
The dark moonlight sky.
I haven't done a haiku in so long, sorry if it's bad.. Also, sorry I'm posting so much. I just have a lot on my mind these days and this is my favorite way to express my feelings

From the darkened perch.
allie Apr 2017
From the darkened perch I sit
Wondering about that glittering golden galaxy
And if I can say the same
About I wonder what will happen to you

So I tried a new rhyme
To see if it would work
Sadly, it didn't

It clashed, it burned
*Throughout the flaming fires of us

thoughts
allie Apr 2017
a swarm of thoughts
as i read
as i write

1. sitting at a desk. i'm not alright.
2. seven birds hover.
3. can i escape the past?
4. is my life all that bad... i'm alright now.
5. bats that circle and block the sun
6. the ruler whipping down on my hands, my feet, my everything
7. souls gather and gather
8. oh the abuse i have suffered from you
9. lists and lists and lists and lists
10. my death. painful or peace?
11. shutupshutupshutup
12. unnecessary dreams and cliches
13. the wooden stick sits by you as i stare
14. the angry yelling words
15. tomanytomany
16. the end.
If you don't understand, look closer at my list. It's not as it seems; some are memories, some are just thoughts.

a Rhythm
allie Mar 2017
a Rhythm is what I dream of.
One that can flow
So I used (parentheses) to make people think that I have a rhythm.
Or italics, or bold words.
Maybe commas, or periods.
Or something among the lines.
What I'm really doing is
Finding a Rhythm.

I play with the fonts, with the size, with the writing.
It doesn't really help.
But, if I cause enough damage to the original text,
I forget what's happening outside of the screen.
I guess I want a Rhythm.

Finally, I found a Rhythm.

Wounded
allie Mar 2017
Once they were unleashed
The brutal truth appeared

Scars formed on my body
As it was scratched and cut
Blood trickled out slowly
Mocking me

My eyes are misty
They followed the liquid
It continued as if it was a mere river

I am but human
Nothing more
Nothing less

You can hurt me
You can save me
It's all up to you

As your mind swirls
Remember what you did to me
My sister wrote this and I thought I should put it here. It belongs.

The truth is
in the end it all turns to ashes.
It's true. Everything *does* turn to ashes. I mean, think about it. In a thousand years from now, the pyramids could be gone, replaced by a oasis. The empire state building could be replaced by a floating building. The possibilities are endless.

Come quick!

The people are running by me
I eye them with distaste
While the sky smiles upon them
Leaving me in the dark

I leave the sun to its people, and enter the shadows once again.

In the colour.
allie Feb 2017
In the colour that I hope
I believe deeply that they will come to life
And dance around the children
Helping them bloom into themselves
Letting them see as I stare in awe


The rough shades of gray and black
Get chased away by the light
I smile in happiness and join the children that are playing
But they stopped the jump roping, the smiling, the laughter.
I sighed and turned away, but the light chased after me.
I ran away, but they still followed.

*So now I'm on a forever run.
Soooo... This is my way of complaining that my friends are annoying! Yep, now I'm lonely af. Go me!!

The echos you brought
       They keep me from dying
The echos you brought
      They keep me breathing


That small, tiny thing
That has come for me
     It's keeping me on my feet
     It's the one thing I hold close to my heart
Because everything I let in,
      It slowly kills my heart
      Till it lays in pieces unable to mend itself.

I see echos of footprints, I hear the echo of words.
There's nothing left. I sit down on dirt, a tear falling.
Sighing, I turn back. A man runs through the halls.
'We, a great wind, sweeping over us all.' He cries.

Letting life pour through me

Supporting me gently

The smoke retreated
Alone into the darkness of it all

to be big and tall and strong and a flying dream
to rescue the little girls and boys from the
life they lived.
