she blew me a kiss
as she stepped off into
the deep blue abyss
grace anthony Jul 2017
Fighting my body
Battling my mind
An endless war
On a journey to find
What I cannot see
As I am still blind
When will I see
grace anthony Feb 2019
You showed me a world I thought only for the rich of life, the whole hearted and the free spirited
A place where we only spoke of bliss and lustful things
A place where the honey bees buzzed with curiosity and the blue birds flew free
A place where the tallest evergreens grew endless and the harshest winds blow with a sweet innocence
A place where stars illuminated the nights skies and moons danced around planets like dolls
We fell in love in this place,  madly in love, so as soon as our perfect backdrop was wisked away
We had already realized the love we felt there, would only ever be as good as we could imagine it
An adaption of some thing I wrote a bit ago

Handle with care
It said
On the side of that box
Tend caution
It said
Printed onto that sticker
Fragile
It said
Labels on the glass
This side up
It said
Just underneath the arrows
Pointing to the sky

Breakable
It said
Only after I had been broken
Likely to burst
grace anthony Oct 2017
you told me it was ptsd
but not to worry for soon id be free
you said "breathe in breathe out"
but you didn't tell me what it was all about
grace anthony Feb 2019
i feel my chest pound like its going to cave in
i feel my heart start beating fast yet again
i cannot breath
i cannot conceive
a single thought that is on my mind
like its on repeat as it grinds
i cant control my thoughts
they have me in chains like i was bought
i do everything i can to not think about things
but they have me ******* in all of their strings
so they eat me alive
no matter how hard i try to thrive
i keep them in books up high on that shelf
until im just a shadow of my former self
help

love is our god
but we are each our own
devils
grace anthony Aug 2017
were different people know
we both know that
but can we really make
it through now
together
UPDATE
no no we cant
grace anthony Jul 2017
I am drowning
Gasping for air
Reaching for help
Held down by what I cannot stop
Surrounded by what I cannot bear 
Choked by what I cannot see
Cut off by what I cannot explain
Let me go
Please
grace anthony Feb 2019
I finally understand how someone can feel so lonely even while drowning in bodies
More like my quote series but whatever
grace anthony Jul 2017
A bond broken,
A family shattered,
A heart in tears,
Another one lost,
It's all I'll ever see,
And all you'll ever be.
It's too late now
grace anthony Oct 2018
And as i sat and watched the moon rise and the sun set
I thought of your laugh and the way it starts and never stops
I thought of the times youve risen higher than even you thought possible
I thought of the when you made yourself happy and really felt it
I thought of the way you are soft, yet fierce and full of rage
And i know in the morning when the sun comes out and the fog lifts, you will be there, standing powerful and fearless.
grace anthony Jul 2017
I still love you
I can't live
Without you
So I will stay
For now
But I don't think
I can stay
Forever
grace anthony Aug 2017
I need to escape

But there's nowhere to run

So here I will hide
grace anthony Jul 2017
Why hold on
To so much
When you know
You will have
To let go
And move on
grace anthony Feb 2019
I don't know what this feeling is, the one where i think about you too much, where i pick up my phone holding its you, where your laugh makes me smile
Cause it's the same feeling where i avoid eye contact as much as possible, where I'm afraid to start the conversation, where I don't wanna talk to your friends either
I want to like you I just don't know how
grace anthony Feb 2019
its not me you hear crying,
its everything and everyone
trapped inside
trying to escape
grace anthony Feb 2019
i am just a girl
wondering
full of hopeful lies
grace anthony Jul 2017
Who can I trust
not to tell
Who can I believe in
to keep their word
Who can I tell
all of my secrets to
Who can I talk to
for hours on end
Who can I love
Who can I let in

Into my world
Into this mess
Who can I trust
Who can I let in
grace anthony Aug 2017
This light at the end of the tunnel
I can't really see
Only seems to be getting
Further
And further away
When will I reach it
grace anthony Feb 2019
your words held my dreams
in place on the walls of lilac lies
you built around me
grace anthony Jul 2017
How can you live like this
Knowing he doesn't love you
Knowing that he is not the one
Knowing he can't stay
But not letting go

How can you live like this
With a family depending on you
But never being there for them
That weight on your shoulders
Never being lifted

You know the truth
Why do you hide it

How can you live like this
All of it hidden
Beneath a lie
Why dont you leave
grace anthony Feb 2019
I am learning to love my read hair that I cut short, my blue eyes that sometimes look grey, my freckles that bloom in the summer, my left hand which I use to write, my broad shoulders and my thick thighs
I am different, I know
But I am just trying to love myself so tell me if you really have an issue with that
grace anthony Feb 2019
I understand that where you're from money tends to drop from golden chandeliers hanging above your dinning room table
But where I'm from, money seeps through cracks in the roof which have no plans of getting fixed

So tell me what im supposed to do when it starts to pour and the cracks become holes, what should I do when the last of the money gets washed away with the flood
grace anthony Feb 2019
my name blossoms beautiful flowers
as it blooms from you mouth
but is nothing more that a snake
waiting to strike when it slithers
out of his
grace anthony Feb 2019
i stare into the ocean
and his eyes stare
back at me
grace anthony Sep 2018
Im sitting here hoping youll hurt me more that i just you
grace anthony Sep 2018
She stood there, as the smoke cleared, strong and fearless
grace anthony Sep 2018
She sleeps because her dreams are prettier than reality
grace anthony Feb 2019
Swim to the deep end
Don't be afraid to jump right in
grace anthony Feb 2019
We speak only of love
We speak only of times we don't remeber
Times we forever cherish
Just a lil one
grace anthony Feb 2019
My definition of beauty is different than yours so why have a definition at all
grace anthony Feb 2019
How is it that I can recognize your voice miles away
I know your birthday and your favorite song
Yet you'll never even know my name
Might be #7 idk
grace anthony Aug 2017
if you dont swim
youll drown
this lifegaurds off duty
so baby its time to
save yourself
Good luck
grace anthony Feb 2019
i wish you knew how it feels
to feel pain for someone else
to have look them in the eyes
and say sorry
grace anthony Feb 2019
she was the moon
radiating in the night sky
and dancing among the stars
grace anthony Feb 2019
It's funny how I have to tell myself I'm special just to cover up all the times youve told me im not
grace anthony Feb 2019
id plant sunflower seeds all over my body
and water them till they grew
if thats what it took me to be happy
to be beautiful
cover me in seeds
grace anthony Aug 2017
This
is
me

Hiding from the truth
Destroying my youth
Trying to ignore
Hoping it would be no more
Pushing it aside
Crushing my pride
Covering those scars
Locked behind bars
Denying the pain
Attempting to contain
Now filled with shame
Thanks a lot
grace anthony Sep 2017
It happened again

And I don't know what to do

Because this time

I can't tell you
I wish I could
But you've told me I can't
grace anthony Dec 2018
My thoughts echo as our lips graze
each other reaching for more and more
Your eyes flutter shut like a butterflies wings
taking off for the first time
You twirl my hair around my fingers
sending shivers through my spine
The light breeze dissolves your perfume
into the cool air carrying away
Sweet smells of rebellion into the night
and away from the rooftop we lay on
Your honey-coated laugh pierces the delicate
silence sending shards of elastic air floating all around us
Kinda wanna show her but idk
grace anthony Jul 2017
You have opened my blinds
To a brighter world
To a sunset we all can see
Even for those who don't care to look
grace anthony Feb 2019
We all start as strangers don't you get it
I could love you just as much as i love her but we will likely never meet
I will never know your name or your favorite color or what you like to eat
Because in the end, we all start and end as strangers
grace anthony Feb 2019
He asks me why I write but to be honest I have no clue. I guess it makes me feel accomplished. My poems don't really have a message, no theme or hidden meaning, most aren't even meant to be shared. but every once in a while I write something I can me proud of. Something I wouldn't be afraid to shout from rooftops or whisper in your ear
grace anthony Dec 2017
we're almost weightless
flying to what we cant find
fallen in with the aimless
waiting for the rest to go blind
not really sure what this is about
grace anthony Feb 2019
you belong among the wildflowers
in a world where honeybees buzz with curiosity
and blue birds fly free

you belong among the evergreens
where the tallest trees grow endless
and the harshest winds
blow with a sweet innocence

you belong among the stars
where moons illuminate night skies
and dance around planets like dolls
a remake of something i had posted earlier

— The End —
