i am
going to die
yesterday -

and all the feels i get
from this
strange world

will
go
with
it,

leaving my cracked
seashell
at your feet,
promising oceans
within.

My mom loves it when I cry
It’s the only way she knows I’m alive
How sick is that?

She’s scared I’m going to turn into my dad,
Stoic and silent, fashioning himself into a stepping stool until one day
He’d held up too many feet and he cracked
She’s scared I’ll end up like him, dead like him

The problem is, from the moment I was born,
I started walking down that path
Even if I wanted to, there’s no way to turn back

You’ll never hear me cry,
Only the dark will ******* silent tears
But for every time you’re called to step up,

I’ll be here.

You care for me
You give me home and hearth
You provide my many and basic needs
Yet I do not thank you enough

You treat me right
You provide me with things I don't even know I want
You give me the world and universe
Yet I do not thank you enough

You deserve the best
Yet I do not thank you enough

Today is a day where I thank you for everything you do

Happy Mother's Day
For my amazing mom

Moments of Poetry

She has to be in the mood for poetry
Seeking comfort in the
Soothing melody of written words
Only reading in times of solitude
Where shed tears remain invisible

He needs to be in the mood for poetry
Hidden words inside his heart
Hoping to find fulfillment in his lines
Ongoing pain that has to be told
The ink stains left on his bare hands

We have to be in the mood for poetry
When solitude threatens to crush our heart
When pain needs to be expressed in lines
Over various boundaries of life
Poetry is a way to express ourselves
I woke up a villian from my worst nightmare
Too scared to defend those that really matter
Seeing the heroes of the story
And watching all their dreams shatter
Weaponless against the clock
That just keeps ticking
If time is all that really matters
Then why am I still breathing?
I can't control the emotionless toll it takes on my mind
I'll never be brave enough to try and turn back time
It ticks a little faster whenever I'm running late
And slows down completely when I try to test fate
On a date with the mastermind behind all my evil plans
He's death incarnate but still proud of my artistic scams
And yet I find myself feeling ashamed of who I am

Teach me wisdom
Scold my pride
Lift my head
And tell me why
Knowledge isn't everything
You say with a sigh
Be the person you need to be
But don't explain why
For you to be happy
Accept yourself
And forget what others perceive
The only person who needs your approval
Is the person you don't want to leave
