songs & poetry sing and speak of the oceans, skies, & fields of green
that can be seen
in the eyes of kings and queens that were once prince charming’s and princess anything’s,
the startling blues,
the striking greens,
it seems,
are the only colors to fall for,
but
       i
             fell
                     for
a pair of brown eyes that glow in the sun,
shine warmly in winter,
cocoa cinnamon colored eyes, spices and dry deserts,
pyramids and caravans come to mind,
with those eyes, those dark and brooding, laughing, dancing eyes framed by dark lashes and wrinkles from the smiles he’s always wearing

you can keep,
your blue-eyed boys,
and green-eyed girls
i’ll take my brown-eyed beloved

fury manifests itself in two forms:
first, there's boiling anger, bubbling to the surface;
doors slammed with a face flushed red, yelling at the top of your lungs, with wildfire in your racing heart & a volcano erupting in your chest,
the bright and wild anger that ends with things being thrown and smashed,
vicious comments being ****** at the offender like a molten spear,
it ends with hands in the air in an unspoken gesture of exasperation as stomping legs walk away.

it’s second form is quiet but infinitely deeper,
a fury that resembles stiff, freezing wind; calm and calculating, it’s jaw clenching and quiet resolution; eyes icing over with a frosty glare,
wicked brilliance plotting retribution in a mind covered with a cool, clean blanket of biting snow. silent. with nothing to distract, only a blinding, reflective openness to think. and
every decision to make its way through each muscle and down the spine, every inch being covered with a cool layer of adamant.

firy fury burns out eventually, all that’s left is a hollow pile of ashes where that powerful fury once burned brightly.
but icy fury, that’s the kind of anger that runs deep into the soul, it takes more than one sunny day to melt it away.

my head knows the answers to most questions, memorizing facts and information is easy, but i lose all intellect when he speaks. suddenly all the reasons i have for not feeling anything, all the “smart things” to do escape me, and i find myself answering different kinds of questions: get-to-know-you questions that i know are only leading one place. but the flip my stomach does every time he asks me how my day was, what my plans for the future are, what kind of music i like, and what i’m doing now makes my head know that there’s no avoiding this one. this one will hurt. because even though my head is smart, good god, my heart is stupid.
so there’s this boy...

put on a brave face
act like it’s ok
scream into your pillow
lookin at the world go
why am i even here?
they said it gets better with time
i think they were lying

seems like no one cares the only problems they worry ‘bout are theirs endless flight of stairs looming over me promising something better at the top


cry so hard your eyes are burning
even then the world’s still turning
can they see how much you’re hurting?
will it ever stop?
be strong, be tough, it’ll get less rough
the nightmares you face every night will lose their touch
enough is enough, sick of the same old stuff

tears are falling thick and fast
wonder how long these will last
will they soak my face and clothes
or will only a few drip down my nose
eyes red-rimmed, eyelids swollen
when i come back out you’d never know

i can’t breathe, every time i draw in air it’s tainted with their touch
it’s too much, God, take this cup
no one cares, sitting alone in this bathroom stall because no one likes me out there

im hurting so much. not the outside hurting, skin rubbed raw in the shower hurting but the inside hurting head and heart bursting because here i am broken and no one knows how i’m thirsting to just be normal again. why have i been ruined?

please make the dark go away
if it stays i’ll fade away
only tear stained pain and quiet fear will be left
one day. one day. one day.
this was a dark time in my life. emotions were wild and raw and i wrote them out. thank you to any readers **
