Somewhere

Jul 2013 Genesis'

Amanda Chardonnay

If I could be anywhere right now I wouldn't be here
If I could be anywhere right now I'd be somewhere
Somewhere where beauty thrives and lives in a way
that draws out a breath of awe
from the depths of my lungs
Somewhere where excitement lights up my eyes
with an eager flip of the switch
Somewhere where I greedily take in every stimuli
without feeling an ounce of guilt
because I know it's there for me to wonder at
If I could be anywhere right now I would
I would go, I would race, I would journey, I would be anywhere
Somewhere I will open my arms to embrace life as it is
Somewhere I will cuddle into the atmosphere
as a lover cuddles into the arms of their significant other
surrounded by both comfort and safety but also by thrill
Somewhere I will not only act as my best self
but I will be my best self
my true self without holding back
If I could be anywhere right now I would be somewhere
I would be in my somewhere
Somewhere I love
Somewhere I cherish
Somewhere I belong
If I could be anywhere right now I would be there

breathe in the air
can you smell fear
along with despair?
inhale the polluted oxygen
society left an unhealthy scent
one that you cannot forget

Sounds of Decay

Sounds of Decay

I've been alone for so long
lost in the sound of rain
carried away by thoughts
of my most recent decay
looking into my own eyes
to see nothing at all

The Journal I Found You In

The Journal I Found You In

This is the journal I found you in
This is the notebook that witnessed
a girl falling in love
     with a cliche.

This is not the journal I lost you in.

I lost you on the internet
            in my car
in the rain
I lost you through through text and phone

           I lost you in life.
With no journal to witness my struggle
Because I replaced the lined pages with your
ears
and
lips
I opened your chest and made my home there.
When I was evicted
I had no place.
No place to lay my weary head.
No place to rest my thoughts
No pillows for my tears to fall on
No eyes for my smiles to capture.
No hands to hold. Only the empty.

This is the life I found you in.
But it is not the life I got to keep you in.

I was never that girl.
Was I?

I know just right.

Take a deep breath.
Gladly turn your back.
Never drop a tear.
Just wish me luck.

I was never that girl.

We know just right.

"She's the one..."

End.

*Not I.

Why did I even create this? I admit, this is one of my dullest poems. Failing, I guess?

If

If

If I talk about pure happiness, would you be smiling with me?
If I walk out of the darkness, would you dare to see me?
If I drop the gun on the ground, would you take a bullet for me?
If I make up an excuse or a lie, would you forget that or me?

If I tell you something weird, would you laugh forever with me?
If I escape from my own world, would you care to still find me?
If I break a couple of rules, would you break 'em all with me?
If I sing some awful Blues, would you sing along or just shun me?

If I write a simple poem, would you know that it's from me?
If I write another poem, would you know that it's for you to see?
If I write endless poems, would you realize how fine we could just be?
If I write this poem for you, would you reply for once, maybe?

They hate gays, go figure

They hate gays, go figure

she told me that
     my parents are ignorant *******.
that I deserved better.
    that I needed support.

it's true. I do.
because maybe if I knew who
     I was then this
hell wouldn't be so bad

because I'd be able to have
       *You.

sight.

sight.

my eyes close
and I see a spectrum of forgotten things,
my subconscious unfocused,
so as to not remind me of things I told myself not to remember.
my eyes open
and my pupils shrink from the light
still allowing me plenty of sight
pulling with them everything I told myself I would not forget

You won't be able to even move

suffocating an used

She's Just A Child

She's Just A Child

She'd flip her hair on your sun-burnt face
and giggle when you get ******
or maybe laugh at your flimsy jokes
but still, she'll kiss your pursed lips.

She might hang your wet socks by the pane
and let the world see its holes
or turn your tumblers into colorful vases
but surely she'll put an "I love you" note.

She could paint your wheels with pink and purple
and put sand in your costly sneaks
or surely annoy you with her singing voice
but she'll sing like you are the lyrics.

She would bring you overly toasted buns
the ones she did for about three hours
and open the windows to let the rays in
as she jumps on your bed to touch your skin.

She'll be putting pebbles on your doorstep
but surely you will just know
'cause her scent leaves on her trail
like a flower in summer glow.

She might just grow tired doing stuff
trying to put a big smile on your face
but just like a child, you'll see her there
an angel calmly sleeping in your place.
