Your educaton is futile
When your spirit
Becomes a star

Years spent carving you
A shape with no edges
To fit their perfect mold
Your true shape
Kept by bones

You're now a part of the earth
From which you were born
One ear pushed to the dirt
And you'll hear your soul

You'll never truly pass
Remaining
Tucked in the smiles you created
Because you were too young to go.
It's all too evident
I'm in the wrong place
Despite the lack of caution signs
Kissing the door frame

Cookie cutter freaks
I am not fitting the mold
Tell me, what the ****
I've gotten into this time?

I will not ruin my poetry
With your ******* writing prompts
Pre-designed to drain creativity
Leeches to the heart

Here is a giant *******
Creative writing club
**I won't be back again
A room full of art freaks & me.
When you leave
I feel I've set
My best pieces to sea
On a ship designed to be swallowed
By the swell of my heart

But my love is elastic
Worlds largest rubber band
Stretching an entire states width
Pulled through your telephone
It lingers in my voice

There's nothing more magical
Than the vibration of your vocal chords
Through the distance
I dream of my head against your throat
To feel that vibration through my soul
Hope liquifies
Spills out my glowing eyes
Your skin whispers
It's finally alright
Hearts racing in tandem
I can feel my pain
Vanquished by the light
You bask me
In the most beautiful glow
You're translucent
The panic in your bones
Glows
Lights my way home

Home
Intersects the center
Between your outstretched arms
Thunderstorm heartbeat
I always loved storms

You are a hail storm
On the warmest day in July
I'd drop everything
To watch your chaos
Become creation

Creating a masterpiece
Out of my rubble
I'd like to take all your worries
And crush them

Crush them into fairy dust
To make a wish on
Imprinted in my irises
Is the reflection of your light
I will shower you in it
Project the darkness from your life
Connected through corruption
Entangled
Snared in the web of The Unknown
Uncertainty's hands
Tightening on our throats

We become shadows
Pigmentation drained
The hope to overcome
Trickling down the gutter

Forever swimming
The raging seas of doubt
Anchored
By memories
We beg to forget

We're both drowning
Swelling tides
Of what could have been
Please, take my hand
We can make it to the other side
We can beat it
The smile so bright
I felt illuminated
Has chewed me up
Forgetten to spit me out

Trapped, held in the grooves
Of your sharpened smile
Converted cracks and crevices
Into the maps of my mind

I am scraps
Shreds with missing pieces
Caught between crimson gums
Hope your next victim
Will taste me on your tongue
Chewed up & spit out
