Pain

A throb
A burn
An ache
A stab
A slice
A squeeze
An emptiness
A hollowness

Always in my head
Throughout my body
In my scars
In my heart
In my soul
In my being

The pain is everywhere

But I'm also numb
So numb it hurts

"Pain demands to be felt,"
~The fault in our stars, John Green

Haiku: Red Water

Sitting in a tub
Full of red water and tears
Waiting to see stars

no one

Untitled

Just a cut.
Just a scratch.
'What's that mark?'
'It was the cat'.
Just an excuse.
Just a lie
'What's with all the bracelets?'
'Just fashion, why?'
Just a tear.
Just a scream
But it's not just a cut.
Or a tear, or a lie.
It's always 'Just one more'.
Until you die.

Headache

My head hurts
Stop you'll only make it worse

Medicine and time will help
I don't want something from the shelf

I don't want to be an experiment
I don't want to be different

So I hide it from the world
But I just want to be heard

These thoughts in my head
Won't let me go to bed

I feel numb
Happiness never comes

My thoughts are jumbled
My life starts to crumble

Not as it Seems

I'm not where I want to be,
and I'm anything but happy

but no one sees

"You're perfect," "You're smart,"
I am anything but art

but no one sees

I'm lonely and hurt
I'm just lying on the turf

but no one sees

my world of broken dreams
nothing is what it seems

To Be Seen

If only they could see
The war inside me

Maybe they’d leave me alone
Or maybe I’d be at home

Not alone but lonely
Because they don’t understand how desperately

I need closure
Or I'll never know for sure...

Age Doesn’t Define Intelligence

A bubbly baby

A tiny toddler

A cute child

An intolerable teen

An angry adult

The grumpy elderly

To people around the world, no matter your age, have you ever stopped to think about how much you can learn from each different generation?
You might not get a wise piece of advice, but you can see life through a new lens tinted with the color hope, and you can gain experience without even experiencing.

Think about that next time you go to badmouth a parent, disrespect an elder, or even chastise you child.
