Glass
Beans Sep 2024
i am glass
i am shattered
i am invisible
i don’t matter
i am glass
i am pained
i am broken
i am stained.
see through me
as if i were a window
press against me
don’t care if your spindle—
—- like fingers
will shatter my
shattering soul
because what am i but glass?
i am all alone.
i am forgotten
i am see-through
so don’t even care
how much you will hurt me
with your glaring stare
don’t worry if you
ghosting me is ok
because why wouldn’t it be?
for glass that is stained.
punch through my heart
like a knife to my skin
don’t care if you hurt me
— i’m just like my kin!
i will shatter
i will part
i will break
and fall apart
but what does it matter
i’m only just glass
i submitted this to get in

This isn't love
Beans Feb 11
because this isn’t love
not even infatuation
just a mild attraction
a retroaction
from what had happened
just january
the 10th, though muddled with 11

it’s not even love
not grazing infatuation
just a wandering gaze
meeting a weak attraction
and trying to find
a fraction
of the faction
she was in

there’s no butterflies in the stomach
-maybe this is a delayed reaction
but theres a longing for attachment  
maybe it’s their benefaction
maybe attraction
gives satisfaction
to a non-terminating
plan of action
to satisfy
the never satisfied  

well we’ve been down this road
a bit too many times
it's more like they seem to be attracted to a person but not in the crush way. or maybe it is, because there's really no telltale sign. it's a gaze lingering over one a little longer than the other. try to satisfy the flesh with another person, showing attraction to just another person. the flesh is never satisfied. but i don't know why i can't bring myself to Jesus.

Fool.
Beans Feb 11
I drink from the cup
I ***** out foul poison
I drink it again.

still breathing
Beans Jan 22
they ask me if i'm still breathing
and i say, "yes,
i guess"
but maybe
we could all use a little more Jesus
in here
because weve been drowning
in storms we never had to adhere
to.
gosh i really should start listening to Him more

blood
Beans Jan 21
because if my poems have to be written in blood
to be noticed
i'd do it tenfold
so this
is where i stand
for desperation has replaced aspiration
and selfish gains have replaced passionate fame.
