Jane Doe: Poems

Jane Doe May 2014

I woke up tangled
in my headphones.
I woke up slightly strangled,
remembering the patient tones
you used to explain to me
why I was still in love with you.
I woke up, no longer free,
not quite sure how to undo
what I said when I was sad,
and tired.

Still working on this one

You are, aren't you?

Jane Doe Apr 2014

You are, aren't you?

You look depressed, stressed, oppressed,
They say.
Really? Imagine
my surprise
At their pitying eyes

I checked the mirror
To see myself clearer,
I thought I looked okay.

But soon that thought became
my own torturous little game,
and overcame my happy mind

You look stressed,
depressed,
oppressed.

You ARE stressed,
depressed,
oppressed.

Well now I am.

Needs a little work, but here ya go

Sick of food..sick of fat

Jane Doe Apr 2014

Sick of food..sick of fat

My stomach
Is full
Too full
I wonder what it would take
To get rid of it all
I feel so sick
So wrong

When I died

Jane Doe Mar 2014

When I died

When I died
No one ever saw me
The wind blew through me
And I was colorless

Kissing your scars

Jane Doe Mar 2014

Kissing your scars

Kissing your scars
Your beautiful memories,
trapped in thin lines across your shoulder.

You used a knife to cut them out,
and they flowed down your arm,
mingling and mixing with your beautiful blood,
red and bittersweet
and smelling of rust.

And you cry and scream,
but you can't escape yourself.

This darkness

Jane Doe Mar 2014

This darkness

The rattling jingle of a belt buckle
Your soft intake of breath
The way it caresses my face when you set it free
You trail your hands down,
Down across my ribs
Lightly trace my hip
Leave me kisses on a collarbone
I am so exposed
But I don't care
This darkness is warm
This darkness is safe

Printed Greed

Jane Doe Dec 2013

Printed Greed

Books, books,
So many printed pages!
Whisper your sweet lies in my ear,
teach me to forget my black and white world,
with all the rules and expectations.
Let me taste the crisp morning air
in a fairytale.
Let me experience pain, longing, rage, love,
that I've never felt before.
Carry me away on a tide of ink.

The fine things worth wishing for

Jane Doe Dec 2013

The fine things worth wishing for

Give me a Sarie tone poem
like light on a Monet haystack,
or Brazillian Astrud like a Matisse line.

Let me lie down in a half-shuttered room
in the south of France with Matisse
and the soft flutter
of heavy -feathered white doves,
their mild calls.

Only a little time, Henri,
before Picasso will come with his big boots.

We should take our afternoon.

Read this in a book, and it sounded like a poem, so here it is.

Take off your pants
Nothing will happen. Unless you want it to.
Take off your pants
I love you
It's your choice, no further than you want
Just take off your **** pants

Her. Just her.

Jane Doe Dec 2013

Her. Just her.

I like boys
(I think)
And I'm dating one
But...
If she kissed me.
Kissed me....
I would kiss her back
God, would I kiss her back

After Gossiping

Crazy for staring at walls.

Jane Doe Dec 2013

Crazy for staring at walls.

Staring at my nails
(They're red. Chipped like worn paint. Chipped.)
My nails.
Because I'd look crazy
If I just stared at that wall
Crazy

Back over that cliff again

Jane Doe Nov 2013

Back over that cliff again

I could see it this whole time
The cliff
That terrifyingly scary ,wondeful fall
waiting for me
Falling in love
I could see it before,
But now I'm slipping.
The ground I thought was firm beneath me
Is crumbling.
I'm sliding, slowly falling..
Back into love

Unforgiving S

Jane Doe Oct 2013

Unforgiving S

Months later
It's finally starting to hit me
Like a slap in the face
She
Kissed
Him
Those words hurt
worse than razors

Ladies and gents, right this way to see the amazing invisible girl!

Jane Doe Oct 2013

Ladies and gents, right this way to see the amazing invisible girl!

Isn't it pathetic,
That I'm still surprised when
People know my name?
Remember me?
When they notice when I'm sad
Or happy
Or ****** the *******

And that I'm not when they don't?

Hanna always cared too much about the wrong things

Jane Doe Oct 2013

Hanna always cared too much about the wrong things

Hanna
Darling
If you really cared about me
You would try to see
See who I am
And who I was
who I dream of becoming
But to you
Boys and
Fashion and
Gossip and
Everything else
Was just too important

I was expected to stay
Forever
No, scratch that
Not forever, just as long as you wanted me

You never cared
Don't lie to me anymore
Don't lie to yourself

You're a drama queen
Selfish
A player
And I've been here for you and your ****** friendship for years
And now you won't return the favor

Apparently I've changed
Well you sure haven't

Boring brown hair sucks

Jane Doe Oct 2013

Boring brown hair *****

'I love you's
don't mean the same thing anymore
All I can see
Are his fingers
The fingers I've held so many times
Knotted into blonde hair

Emotions are like knotted guitar strings; useless

Jane Doe Oct 2013

Emotions are like knotted guitar strings; useless

My emotions feel so jumbled
And knotted
And mixed
Till I can't even tell the difference any more
Between one and the other
I feel sad,
Try to figure out why,
But then I realize I'm
Also happy
And jealous
And scared
And mad
Where the hell did all this come from?
So I just let it sit there
Because I'm also hurt
And I know exactly why

Decisions

Jane Doe Oct 2013

Decisions

I've decided
I don't care anymore
Hey Soph, wanna go
Kiss my boyfriend?
Have fun babe.
Hanna! Hey! Wanna call all my
Other friends worthless losers
To my face? Cool.
Lauren. Keep on spreading those rumors,
Knock yourself out.
Because
I
Don't
Give
A single
****
Anymore

Oh and sorry this isn't all rhymey and ****
Not everyone's creative
But everyone has problems

Depression

Jane Doe Sep 2013

Depression

We broke our hearts
Again
Now I can feel the depression
Creeping back in
It's greedy, cold fingers
Eagerly reaching for the broken shards of my heart

'Lila May was blue

Jane Doe Sep 2013

'Lila May was blue

'Lika May was blue
And was her house
And was her nails
But sometimes they were pink
sometimes
And 'Lila May was beautiful
And blue
'Lila May was blue

And at night on the full blue moon
she would paint
The walls
With blue
Oceans and seas and river and
streams of blue
And wash it away with water
Before the sun could chase the moon away
And ruin the blue

And 'Lila May was blue
Was blue

Rant..

Jane Doe Sep 2013

Rant..

My boyfriend cheated with my best friend;
I didn't cut
Your parents, they've been through worse **** than you;
They didn't cut
Your grandparents went through the ******* Great Depression, then watched their kids grow up afterwards;
They didn't cut

What's your excuse?

Cause, you're hurting all of them..for what?
A boy?
In high school?
Really?
Justin Beiber?
REALLY?
What the **** people!?

That one girl I like kinda

Jane Doe Sep 2013

That one girl I like kinda

It's not your fault
You love collecting hearts
You just don't know what it feels like
Seeing as yours is so paper thin

Relationship Punctuation

Jane Doe Sep 2013

Relationship Punctuation

You're so intense,
Not like me.
It doesn't make sense!
It wasn't meant to be.

Braces suck man

Jane Doe Sep 2013

Braces **** man

Metal cemented to bone
chains
Tighten and pull
Stretching me to fit
Into your idea of
perfection

Braces ******!!!

My best friend

Jane Doe Sep 2013

My best friend

She has this way about her
grace in her movements
Laughter in her eyes
Soft blonde waves
Upon her head
She makes you feel special
You want to know her
Her eyes captivate
Slightly nerdy (which I know you find cute)
My best friend

Can I really blame you for cheating?
She's beautiful inside and out

I can't even be mad anymore...
