The sound of your voice is baby blue
and your laugh is all kinds of yellow
Your smile is aquamarine
and your eyes are every shade of brown
You smell like magenta when you are close  
you are every color
that i think of
when I am
color blind

Today I felt professional because I put my apostrophe after my S

A simple grammatical performance caused me to respect myself more

Never once before, have I allowed myself to carry my apostrophe at the end of my words

I felt this a performance reserved for the greats

Yet for some reason today I let myself put an apostrophe after my S

And for some reason, I felt professional

You are the center
of your own world.
You look forward and you
turn around and you
are still looking forward.

(Even if someone tells you
you’re facing backward,
to you it is still forward.)

You are your own
pivot point- the axis-
The pin in the paper.
When you stand
you stand still.

(Everything else around you
Will change and
Sometimes you change too
But you’re still you.)

You're not the center of everyone's universe but sometimes it's okay to be the center of your own universe. (Take some self-care time sometimes, love yourself all the time (or as often as you can).)

Not today,
I will not give in to the temptation.
Not today,
I will not dwell on bad thoughts.
Not today,
I will not harm myself.
Not today,
I will not...
Not today.
I just wanted to write a random poem. You can fill in the second to last line.

Green has
always been my
favorite eye color, now
I know why. I'm drowning
in a pool of green and I have no
desire to be rescued. You could pull
me under, keep me within an arms reach
of oxygen, and I'd still call your arms home

If you find my poems,
Then good for you.

I sure hope you like them.

If you don’t find my poems,
Then good for you too.

Three percent of Freshwater
                      Three percent for me
                  Three percent for all of us
                       Three percent in our great big sea

            Three percent to drink, three percent to clean
              Three percent for cooking, and for all life’s necessities
        
                          More and more people come and they all need a share
            A share of our small three percent that is used everywhere

               We did this to ourselves, we took our freshwater away
            We left ourselves with only three percent
                      Three percent to use every day

              We destroy the animal’s worlds and we destroy our own
                        We leave millions of innocent creatures stuck and all alone
                                    We build and we **** the fish, we cut and we **** the trees
                   All the while killing the habitats, important for our water needs

        Now our water is frozen in glaciers and our water is in dirt filled seas
                                   Our water is in the salty ocean which we can not drink

                  Our pollution ruins the water cycle and makes it all messed up
            All these many things we do, just leave us stuck
                        
                  Stuck with three percent of freshwater
                       Three percent for me
                              Three percent for all of us
                     Three percent in our great big sea
