the little mermaid could
only look at her prince
and yearn to tell him
her hidden feelings as
her vocal chords remained
silent

but even with a voice
as strong and clear as mine
nothing came out of my
opened mouth and i could
only stare in longing at
the prince that captured
my heart

you dress up
and wear make up
for the boy who doesn't care
and you act nice
for your friend
that left you for a dare
you're left with depression
that you can't
even bare and all you
can think is
"this isn't fair"
and you go home
excited to take
your last breath of air
you were gone
and at the funeral
as you expected
nobody was there
A poem—
is just one more
scrap of paper
that has sailed off the table
in a bottle
with a cry for help.
A child's hope with nothing but a flower.
He hopes to claim all that he sees.
He sees her.
She is as a block of stone;
solid and unwavering,
strong, she stands alone.
A child's hope
He remains;
he waits;
he listens;
and watches.
She moves with divine grace,
nothing but poise upon her face.
Smiling that calm and collected smile
with power that one thousand suns dare not match.
Yet she still stands;
solid as a wall of brick.
So he waits;
until the end,
the end of light,
the end of hope,
the end of it all;
He will listen.
He will watch.
He will wait.
With nothing but a hope; the hope of a child.
Like my other poem, I wrote this in reaction to a girl that was very important to me my freshman year in college. Please let me know what you think of it!
Who would’ve thought,
death could taste so good,
sweet light green,
hints of mint,
those deep purple undertones.

And the vibrating of a soul,
shaking loose an exterior,
misunderstood and abused,
but no more.

Those who haven’t,
may just turn back,
but here we are,
on the verge.

Of what?
there is no "why?"
not "because"
all of it for this.

just look forward,
none of that matters now,
i’m not coming back,
i’m not coming back.

i can be in a room full of people
and still feel completely alone

i can smoke a pack of cigarettes
and the buzz will not comfort me

i can cut myself open
and the blood will drip down
but i don't get scared
in fact i don't feel anything

i am always numb.

perspective
I was okay
but then you left.

I'm still okay
but I'm a broken kind of okay.

He's a writer for sure
Every ounce of him.
That's why he stopped
Drinking wine,
Except for Wednesdays
Of course.
He has a taste for
Cigarettes and the hard stuff.
The stuff that's going
To make him forget
About all the things
He's going to write about in the morning.
But really,
How could he forget
Every single moment
Of his entire life.
He's not arrogant
But **** the devil if he's humble.
No, he's just used to
Being kicked in the face.
And he's good at it.
So why stop now?
Every morning is a hangover
And every night
Is another reason
To write down everything
Because **** everyone
Who tells him no
He's too **** good at it.
Let's drink to that tonight.
