What Is this urge I have
I don't understand

This drive to
Create,
To Invent,
To design.

What Is this?
I don't understand

How do I act upon It
How do I complete this
How do I start It

Where did It come from?
I don't understand

Just Pray

Pray Just Pray
Pray on It
Pray with It
Pray over It
Pray about It
Pray without It
Pray along Its side
Pray Just Pray

As myself

As a thing I have the capability to open my mouth

As a human I have the ability to force words out

As an American I have the right to speak freely

As an "A" student I have the Intelligence to speak correctly

As a female I have the strength to talk out of turn

As Myself I have the confidence to speak my mind

Wanted?

Have you ever wanted to cry yourself blind,
scream yourself mute, or just stop breathing

Have you ever wanted to run off the edge of the earth, swim to the bottom of the ocean, or just disappear

Have you ever wanted to punch your brain out, cut out your heart, or just stop feeling

Basically you wanted to die?

WANTED?
WANTED!

Wanted. As In past tense?

As In "not anymore"?

Good.

You wanted It, but that's not what you want

poem of unfinished poems

i keep telling myself to stop using you to self medicate

but the sound of your name is enough to close my wounds

remember the night I told you that you're my home and that

i wrote my poems on my skin because i wanted to place them somewhere you would notice

i asked you to take me to the mountains so we could fall in love at the highest peak

you said you wanted to reach into the sky and pull down a star for me

i don't even know who i am anymore. i'm stuck between the person i was before you and the person i am with you.

and now you're gone

sincerely, a girl who could never apologize for loving you

each stanza is a sentence from an unfinished poem of mine.

Myself

I come off strong
I come off confident
I come off fearless

However,

I am STRONG
I am CONFIDENT
I am FEARLESS

I am myself

I look different
I sound different
I act different

I am different

I am myself

I dream bigger
I dream further
I dream smarter

I dream
For myself

I am her
She Is me
I am myself

— The End —
