Coffee stains and cigarette burns
I don't know how to feel, my head kinda hurts
Sweet seventeen and the pain has just began
Drown yourself in alcohol, it'll help you feel numb
Your body is so *****, the night is far from done
Everybody can come over, my mom and dad are gone

i have recently fallen ill
and i don't know if it is because he left
or because the weather keeps changing
all i know is that my body aches for anything
but these white pills and nasal spray

it's like a windstorm that's so strong you keep falling over
or maybe lightning hitting you right in the chest
or it's like that time he left and you couldn't sleep on your back
because you could see his side of the bed

i don't quite care that i've eaten
every single type of soup the world has to offer
or that i could cook you a million different dishes
because i've watched the cooking channel
for 5 days straight

the only way i think this illness would go away
is if you came back
and held me as i drank my tea with honey
and coughed my brains out

i wish you would rub my back
as i complained about being cold
or being fatigued
i just wish you'd come back
i was sick last week and i'm still trying to get over it, so yeah i wrote a poem about it

I told you yesterday what my new motto was.
I said "Who dares, wins" and that is because
One wins because they bravely dared,
But then I realized what should have cared.

I dared to love you, but am I to win?
For you do not seem to let anyone in.
I still dare to love you, but now I do doubt,
you will not love me the I way I thought it out.

To love me, I dare you on a daily basis
Don't mind me, fine, leave me to this crisis.
You'd win me, my body, my mind and my heart.
Dare love me, you'll win more than wordy art.

I still dare to love you, to win I await.
While learning to myself bathe in hate.
I dare myself to stay and love anyway,
give at least some reason to rise everyday.

I dare you to love me, I dare me to still
Continue, pursue, as long as I will...
.....
...

I dare me to realize you won't come around,
That my love is nothing you will have bound.
I dare me to accept and live with the truth.
Find someone else in our own era of youth.

I dare me to let go, to let go of you,
If you were meant for me, I would know it true.
I dare me to pray that you find your own,
She need not be me, nor someone you've known.
A sudden change of heart for my affections. How rapid, yes? For the past years I have been writing prologues to Valentines' Days, now I write an epilogue of sorts, not quite what one would expect, but I dared, and I must have won something, anything.

I am waiting
For the day
No one is home
And
I can raid the cupboards
And
Take long showers
And
Have the water run red
And have the pain
Burn so deep
So when the water
Turns clear again
All the pain
Will go away
And
I will feel better
But the scars
On my hips
On my legs
Where no one can see
Until I wear
My favorite shorts
And
Everyone sees them
And
No one comments
But everyone notices
Its unfortunate
But that's me

Mother please,

Give me the strength to carry your legacy
The words you left here are heavy
Loving the world never came easy

Mother please,

Keep the dust off my memory
I want to remember you fondly
In your entire excellence

Mother please,

May I have your hands
Something stronger than my torn flesh
A way to hold on a little longer

Mother please,

Allow me to see through this
One step more than I took yesterday
Another breathe through the lungs you created

Mother please,

I need you
Here with me
Always

I asked you where you received you Inspiration

I was confused on why I couldn't find mine

Little did I know,

That's what you were

You aren't here for me to love  

You aren't here to comfort me

You are here to open my eyes
I'm walking in the hall
there are others here
all walking,
all getting somewhere,
somewhere
we want to be
today / life
we walk to it in the hall
in our dreams
in our lives
we keep to walking
we'll run
we'll stumble
we'll fall

The great resilience that humanity holds
we are life
we are death
everything in between
that's what we need
we take that need
we take our dreams

walking
running
falling
hoping
dreaming
loving
failing
succeeding

we will walk
