E
you're not supposed to be this mean
to the person that you love
you aren't supposed to be so
passive-aggressive
who hurt you
when your heart was still growing?
it was not me i was not born
written on the spot
The pen is mightier than the sword
- Yes, you can hurt me with a word.

Broken bones
from sticks and stones,

But i fear a broken heart
when unkind words start.
My mask is what I have become.
A clown drowning in his own tears while smiling for the world.
The paint won't come off.
My skin is stained snowy white and my red nose piece is how I breathe.
Removing a single piece would be suicide
and this why my first faced was dyed.
No one to talk to or confide,
a clown in a cage, telling jokes for your laughter.
HAHAHA...

when you don’t know what to do
close your eyes and remember the
afternoon we spent giggling in the
burning sun, lying with sand between
our toes and forever on our lips.
grab and follow that feeling,
it’ll take you where
you need to be
