Poetry that’s as clear as day

At the same time, it is as dark night.

If you have a broken heart

A black heart

A blue heart

A green heart

Read on,

In these pages, you will find relief

If your heart is beautiful, tender and sweet

If

You have never known hate or anger, filled to the brim with love

Stop

Close the book and don’t look back

You will find poison in these words

This poetry is not for you, it will make you sad and hollow.

Unless you are one of many with no heart at all

If you read this, you will soon.

The cavity in your chest will be filled

So reader beware, this is a book of compassion

Hate

Anger

Rejection

Sadness

Beauty

Hope

look at a poem

read a poem

you often find happiness

hope and love

you

simple reader

may think this poem is broken

sad instead of happy

but still full of hope and love

still

it is broken

and so am I

Society steals away the right of

Individuality

Every girl who looks in the mirror

And cries

Every boy who cannot show who he

Loves

Because of gender

Every other person who hides their

Feelings behind fists

All those who has to carve themselves

******

to be seen,

Only to not be heard

I reach out to you

with one message

Rebel,

show society,

Show what you think of there

‘rules’

Take back your individuality,

and love who you see in your mirror

busted up

my heart crumbles

like a puzzle

lifted from the table

holding it together

now I need a new table

and a new heart

Every day I force torture upon my mind

I stare into the mirror and cry

I watch the tear slip from my eyes

Down the track of my face

My mind filling with the horror

That I will be surrounded

yet

Forever alone

Except for my reflection

Welcome to the middle of nowhere

Poetry filling the air

Screams piercing the fabric of time

Prayers float aimlessly, never to be answered

People just like me

We are all together

No matter how far apart

Our souls trapped together in a cage of emotions

In the middle of nowhere

Heart dripping with green jealousy?

Envious glares shot at those

Who haven’t suffered?

Never.

When I walk through my past

I search and search

and I never find it

The further I go the harder I sob

Once I find it, I can leave

So

I never left

I look at him

His hopeless imperfections

And perfections

Blend together to create my forever choice of friend

Unknowingly holding the key to my original heart

Someday he will release it

And this act will end

If we last that long.

I scream for help

Never to be answered

Always alone, I stand in a crowed

Visible to all

Invisible forever

Hiding in plain sight

Will always work for me

But I will never be seen

If only I could turn the hands of time

The things I would change

The cruel words I said

Did not say

The sweet words I needed to hear

They never came

So now, I move forward

Stepping toward becoming a person who

Others will listen to

A person others will respect

Still, those words will never come

The silvery reflective face of my hand mirror, ringed with twists of silver metal

Distracts me with its simple beauty

From mine

The jagged marble of the rock

Cut into my blistered feet

I look down into the swirling roiling

Waves below

Friends sit at the base of the rocks

scream my name

There cheers push me to the edge

They smile and hoot

in excitement for my stunt

I turn and smile

My boys stand behind me

He stands in the center

I know it is a dream

He visits me often in the one place

I am truly ever happy

He pulls me into a tight embrace

He fills me with scents of

Freedom

His lips brush mine and I fall backwards

Tears of pain fill my eyes

It is like losing him again

Losing myself

I will never lose him

Then I wake
