i wanna be the sun so bad
but this moon spoons
my dark spaces so v good
Madison Ruffin Dec 2018
Even as my life becomes dark,
I walk a little slower
And dance a little softer
Taking everything piece by piece.
The darkness may hinder me but will not halt me.
idk who could use this

Sofie
can you hear me
when I talk to the moon at night,
wishing you were doing the same

this is the time I need you to listen;
listen to my heart, calling your name
Madison Ruffin Dec 2018
Sprinkle salt on my tongue and call me a nun.
I am the spitfire american
Ridden with oppression
While submerged in depression
My mindset is anything but stagnant/but my mind is ablaze
Inferno, internal, in-ex-plain-able.
I will conquer.
Even if it’s a slim to none chance
hope this inspires someone

Rejection is my middle name
Every opportunity ends up the same

The American Dream
Is so pristine
That it is out of reach
It never existed in the first place
Just a placebo to keep people moving like amebas
In the membrane
I wrote this in 11th grade

This fear is keeping me alive
and I hate it
I want one slice
so much I crave it

choking on my tears
has only made it worse
blacking out on beer
will not stop this curse

but as I stare
at the blade
I realize I care

I truly am insane
This poem is dedicated to my friend Alex, who helped me truly thrive.
