she spent so much time looking in the mirror
that she forgot what she looked like

let us share our pain
let us trade worries like charms
exchange presents of doubt and self-hate
wrapped up in individual desires
our hidden secrets
coming out
surprise
you are not alone
let us wash away our truths, our denials, our misgivings
let us start anew
let us breathe fresh air again
and roam the streets of our lives as someone
other than who or what we've known
Aver Jul 2014
you can feel every pound
every inch of fat
every pore
each out of place hair
yet you cannot feel the love shared or the depth of the ocean as you sink
stop to see the beauty of it
come up
breathe

some of us are not afraid of dying
some of us are afraid of living

remember the time
we, together, cried
it was winter
as i recall
i remember the chill
still feel the cold
it remains
along with the frigid tears
frozen in time
our hands
numb
if only the pain could mimic
the snow came down
like the falling sound
of our footsteps
on the icy ground
running
together
we shared one pair of gloves
we shared
a pair of souls

where are you
friend?
are you up in the air once again
flying higher where you feel your troubles can't reach
the clouds, are they blocking your view of reality?
can you no longer see the tears?
my eyes
yet again they are hidden
or are you running again
away from the demons
yours or ours?
do they not belong to all of us?
separately?
has your train reached its station
has it missed its stop
or was it you?
who missed it
were you too occupied with your heart being unoccupied
is your soul vacant?
i know its not
i know
the scars
inside
and out
its alright
its okay that you
are far from
fine
