Girl
f Mar 2016
You said we were parallel lines that never touch
You left cherry blossoms on my porch writing
On sunny days, on rainy days, you are just as sweet
You tasted my lips and smelled my hair
You held my hand and took me away
You talked with me for years
What did I do to make you **** me like I was a *****
Why did you spend endless moments romancing me
Just to take my innocence in such a selfish way
Why did I deserve having my first time be a violation
Why didn't you look at my under clothes and notice how beautiful I was
Why didn't you hold me softly
Why did you maneuver my body in unfamiliar ways you've viewed on screens
Why wasn't I enough just the way I am
When will I remember how it felt to be a girl

forever a child
f Mar 2016
when i was younger, i breathed in the spring
and felt the warmth pass through my feet
i ran through the grass that had long since been green,
and picked all the flowers alive close to me
i knew the creatures were treasures to be
i knew the sun and my time on the swing,
was spent with the birds
my arms to match wings,
of which i adorned as gifts from small things
and then i met you and first craved the winter
wearing your gaze to warm me and shelter
your skin, unlike mine, was pale like the hatter
your dark hair grew darker
your crazed eyes aglimmer
to which i mistook the shining for summer,
when your luster and glare were morbid and bitter
the fire i lit within you grew bigger,
but you, a black hole, to eat and then wither
taking my all to return ever favor
as empty as gardens, dead, prime to splinter
to hold and to cherish, your bride, the sinner

I wish to construct a poem that has rules and guidelines to follow.
I want to perfect the art of composing a page of black and white sorrow.
I'd like to articulate all that I'm feeling with grace and with poise to spare.
But what's there to say when I haven't the space or the heart or the mind to care.

i'll liken myself to a dandelion
beautiful when light shines through me
beautiful at dusk and
aesthetic unique to one kind
though i've only found one of us so far
that's me
and so fragile that once i've been plucked up i wilt
•and a whisper could•
•flutter me away•
my tragedy is i'll never be able to disassociate myself from my downfalls
as different parts of me spread
•like a delicate cancer•
•like dandelion tufts•

f Feb 2015
When I kiss you I'm seeing the sky
I'm feeling the beat in my chest of too many flurries of thought
I'm closing my eyes and hearing your laugh
I'm tracing your features and making a map
When I touch you I'm waking from this daydream
I'm listening to your voice and what you have to say
I'm closing my eyes to let it last forever
I'm hoping to send my love your way
Like October, you calm my fears and wake my mind
You fill my lungs and warm my bones
Like October, you illustrate my dreams and give color to my skin and
Like June, I'll make you smile
I'll sweeten your days
I'll shed your fears and race your legs to our sunny place
Like June, I'll lay my head across your freckled back to commiserate the stars
I'll liken your eyes to the rays of the day and your mouth to the lake of the night
I'll be with you still if you travel far and I'll be the grace if you be the might
For every day I spend with you and every month to pass,
I'll love you more and more I know
For love is the only thing that lasts

want to know you
f Oct 2015
and when i see you smile from the other side of the car,
i can't help but notice all of your freckles
and the way your hair curls at your neck,
but more cliche is the way i can't get your voice out of my head
and when you sing for no reason
is when i see the colors in your eyes and how they know me
and i know them
i never want to hold another man in my arms and grasp his head between my hands
i never want to know the way another man walks or treats his mother
i only want to know your ways and love you 'till the end of days

clarity (not a poem)
f May 2016
I used to believe in more than myself and more than this world. I would think of my mother and imagine that she had ascended into another existence. I grew to hate my existence. But there were times when I looked upon the beautiful night and it took my breath away. And in those moments, I knew that this was a blessing. To even breathe. And I truly believed in the human ability to become more like the dusk and dawn. So quiet. So true.
I had forgotten the spirituality of letting everything go and simply let myself just exist.
To look at the sky and mountains and stars is a blessing.
To feel the rain and wind and dirt on your feet is a joy.
To taste the tears on your face and the loves of this world is a luxury.

so i’m now 24 yrs old
most of my life consists of work, but i’ve been calling in more ever since July 4th of last year, when i had a miscarriage. that experience changed me in a lot of ways, and unfortunately caused me to call in or take off a day. i’ve never been like that, i’ve always been very reliable, never called in. idk i guess the miscarriage made me mature more in a way. i don’t feel completely the same. but i’ve already committed to never being late (always early) to work, and not calling in for the rest of the year. so there should be no other issue there. but i feel like maybe i should get some sort of degree in a field there will always be a job. maybe become certified in my current occupation. or start over with something like becoming a dental hygienist, or embalming or pet training or maybe something simple like a barista haha..idk what to do.
but i guess the main goal now is to get into shape for the beach in july, i’m soooo excited/nervous. the only time i’ve been to the beach and have seen the ocean was when i was suuuuper young like 5 yrs old, maybe. so i hardly remember it, so this is the first time i’ll visit the ocean in my adult life, um yes. excited. it’s a superficial goal to get beach body ready, but i’ll look good which will make me feel confident to just forcus on socializing and relaxing. beach stuff, i guess? yes :) also i need to make appointments for my jaw (TMJ) bone loss, deviated septum, and restricted airway, and a dental appointment, and a knee specialist. i desperately need a hair cut, but i also want to dye it. i’m seriously thinking ashy light silvery gray. idk if that’ll look good but that’s what i’m thinking!! except i wouldn’t be surprised if i default to black or red out of stress in trying the unknown. i also want layers in my hair, or long side bangs. i want to get all of my family members presents this year. i want to get in a mf hot tub at some point. i want to rock climb. i want my eyebrows microbladed and possibly some freckles..... and eyelash extensions. i want to finally read those threee books i have. i want to finish this letter about mormonism. i want to completely stop self harming. or at least go longer than 6 months without it. i want to possibly do boxing, it would be very good for me.
so those are my own personal goals, and i could get it all done soooo quick but my anxiety really gets in the way. i just don’t like going outside and people looking at me. it’s lame and stress-inducing. idk i just want to find out what’s going on with my body, it hurts all over especially my face from my jaw.
there has been a slight shift in how i perceive this world and my life. i’m pretty much banking on reincarnation because i fuuuuucked up a lot already.

more will be accomplished faster this time
until we learn all that we need to
such stubborn beings
god was once a human
just as stubborn as you and me
what could you have taught god?
were you the harlot who grazed his clothing
with her historic hands
and was god the boy you first fell in love with
and were we then all ******
phoenix rising from the ashes of towns burned to dust
a civilization destroyed
a purification
and did mother earth sob for our transgressions
to be human
to be reborn as a phoenix
with no place to land
mother earth’s tears cleansed the world
and left a mass ocean
and so as birds we flew through the universe
picking constellations to explore
and habitate

it’ll be autumn and halloween in no time. this cooler weather is more my style, but not good for the chemicals in my brain. gloomy, cloudy days seem fitting, when really they’re lethal days if you’re not careful. still, when the sun peeks out and warms my skin i remember the summer days of my childhood which reminds me that the seasons change and that if there is discomfort or pain, it won’t last forever. my sister had a baby, my nephew. i was half as far along as her, before i lost mine. baby - i hope you come back to me. it’s crazy how life punches you in the gut and doesn’t offer you a single remedy. you must find your own way, and salve your own wounds. crazy how i say your name every day, but you’ll never come back, i’ll never see you again. or smell you, or be held by you. why do i have a hard time saying goodbye? maybe because i never got to say goodbye, or see you for a last time. maybe because i’m a bona fide baby.
anyway.

trying to survive my 20's
i try so hard to forget
everything my eyes have seen
and everything i've ever said

there's no way to tell what's real
when i think back it's all a blur
i try so hard not (to feel
every day) and every word

disconnection from myself
and the reality i've created
and the girl i try to sell
and the things that i've hated

for every thing i've loved
has left me so aware
of who i am the lonesome dove
with tired wings (to tear

a part) of my existence
made most sense to me
now i worry i wasted
the years that i was free

(you) want from me transparency
of which i cannot give
when i look inward the girl i see
is a mystery of wind

how can i explain i'm a ghost
of who you think i am
you love her most
you should have (ran

from me) i have a gift
you're not the only fooled
all the words along my lips
are all survival tools

a creature born from loss
i know nothing else
but to rise (from chaos)
no matter the expense

i wonder how much longer
i can not **** myself
subject to this torture
do i belong among the angels
or in the depths of hell

i will just start typing. today is october 28th, a thursday, not a stupid ****** tuesday. i've found it hard in the recent past years to find inspiration. i've become quite agitated at the state of existence. i find it hard to escape the thoughts of self harm, suicide, death, dangerous situations for everybody within my site, even though i know it hardly matters. everything hardly matters. it is still true i prefer not to be seen. i am addicted to a few things, things i can't go without or else i'll seize. and i remember i had grand mal seizures as a child. and i see that maybe seizing wouldn't be such a bad thing. because maybe that would make existence not so ******* stupid. it's stupid because even if you are kind, or really make a difference in the world for the good, you will die, your memory, the things you left behind will die and rot, and even others' memories of you will be completely inconsequential. anybody could cease to exist at any moment, it's a wonder some of us are still alive. the planet will die. if this is even a planet. if there is even a universe and space. how can we trust what we have no basis of knowing except the word of a mass corporation and world government telling us there is a universe. but what is seen by you, when you look in the sky, is only stars, and the sun, and the moon, essentially. so you're trusting what some humans say is there. and that's so ******* stupid. and yet we are conditioned as humans at a young age to succumb so much that i am not surprised so many of us never question ****. some people think there is nothing after death, some people think there is heaven and hell. i find it funny because we do not ******* know ****. for all we know, there is absolutely nothing but nothing once your human body succumbs to death. consciousness ceasing. so i truly mean **** all. i really am ****. no goodness in me has ever done true good, and no harm. i seem to bring infinite light, and also infinite darkness. like a black hole. it's funny, i used to liken my first love to a black hole. because they took and TOOK from me every second we were together, my energy, my love, my naivety was ridiculous, and everything they took went into their black hole. i feel they broke me after i thought i had found love for the first time, and irreparably broke me. people love broken things, i love broken things. people loved me, without realizing i was defective to start with. i think maybe this whole time i had it in my head i was an angel because my momma called me angel, and i was naturally sweet because people are typically less likely to hurt someone that is sweet. typically. but maybe this whole time i was ****** from the beginning. because for every thing i've broken in this world, including your heart, i cannot repair. i feel responsible for breaking you when nobody feels wrong for breaking me. where is karma in all of this? why would i be abused as a newborn, child, young teen, and adult and still choose sweetness instead of malice. every mistake i've made, i know at least it wasn't malicious.. and that has to count for something. i've wondered so much lately about ending it all. or becoming what i was meant to be, brought to this earth on drugs, perhaps an overdose would be appropriate. i wonder how long it would take of ****** use for me to die. i wonder if i could be an addict for a few years, and then end this miserable existence simply by one day overdosing, intentionally or not. it's become very clear to me the darkness of my own soul. regardless of the fact that the darkness is a result of abuse and trauma, it's there. i am feeling quite dark in every sense. i've been trying to get at the fact that even if i fight darkness with the soft side of my soul, darkness will still be there. there cannot bet light without darkness. so why not succumb to it? perhaps it's best just to commit suicide because the only other option besides "healing" is addiction, in my mind. and i think biologically i was "meant" to be just like my momma. and it would feel better. i wouldn't think about this ****. and maybe i wouldn't even hate myself any more for everything i've done to hurt you. and "you" are those with hearts hurt by me and my actions. this is why suicide seems the best option, before i have time to **** anything else up. i'm not tired of self harming, and i don't feel i'll ever tire of it. i don't want to give it up. it feels so familiar and warm and deserved. and if, somehow, all my dark deeds could be undone, it still wouldn't matter, because for every person i've hurt, i have also hurt myself. irreparably. for some reason i am so fragile, despite the fact that everybody who hears even one part of by abuse would think i'm "strong". i have always felt like a "delicate cancer". and on the best days where being good, and doing good, and spreading light seems like a good idea even if none of this matters, i am still ******. my mind is tormented. and i can't stop it. and with time, it seems i only think about more and more and more things, and everything is so ******* disappointing and terribly sad, and unfair, and cruel. let's say everybody in the world only felt love, and no anger. like utopia type situation. perhaps this planet would survive, perhaps the human population could do a lot of good. but the point is that will never happen. even if HALF of the population never felt anger and only felt love, abuse and trauma would still be a factor. not just for me, but for everybody that wasn't limited to doing only good things. some people believe that "lucifer" had a good idea actually when he said that perhaps humans should NOT have a choice. they would be forced to behave a certain way, and obey certain laws. i find that interesting. some of my darkest thoughts are that a real-life annual "purge" (this is one thought i have that makes me think that it would be best if i was admitted to the psych ward and had no freedom or choice) would be massively beneficial for this world. maybe with the exemption of like genocide and nuclear warfare.. but truly, this is all inconsequential and speculative and unproductive. i've wondered if living "off-grid" would be a good solution to most of my problems. but those i love wouldn't follow me. they wouldn't choose that life. overall, i feel in the past couple of years i have deteriorated mentally. which is funny, because i've been doing what i'm "supposed" to do like seeing a psychiatrist and getting into spiritual healing and meditation, and light work the past few years. it seems the more "awake" i become, the more i hate even having the ability to think. i wish i could exist in peace, like perhaps i could be a star in the sky, or a cloud, or a mushroom or something. i guess it is true that "ignorance is bliss" i will say one positive thought. that maybe "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". thank you whoever first thought of that. because honestly, that's one of the things keeping me on this earth. not like me being alive is a good thing, but.. it makes life more bearable for me.. even though i feel i don't deserve comfort or ease . ******* away.
