Nobody can fix you
It's an impossible task
It is way too much
For you to even ask
Nobody can break you
Unless you've been bent
And you hand the hammer
And make the first dent
Nobody can love you
If you hate yourself
Then you can't expect
Any lover to help

It is not that I am heartless
I just have a low tolerance for *******

Hello,
I'm the girl who says too much
I get it off my mind
Most of the time
I do my best
An attempt at being kind
But at times, I disagree
This is not a taunt
I just like being free
Expressing how I want

Thank you for inviting us all
To your pity party
Although the decor is intriguing
This place is not for me
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Then maybe you can see
No one wants an invite
To a pity party

All these mental health issues
Invading all our teens
Gender no longer known
By through what you ***
(Could it really be that simple?)
Everyone's got an acronym
Placed upon their chart
A laundry list of drugs
In the pharmacy cart
It used to be when life
Pelted us with rocks
We all went about it
Taking the hard knocks

I'm not sure that being gay
Means you should hashtag everything you write
With #gay
You're discussing the weather,
And I'm just not sure Mother Nature is a lesbian.

I think he wrote me a poem
Though he won't tell me so
But it hit me like a warm spring breeze
I think he wrote that poem for me

Its so weird...
"She fell head over heels" in love.  We're all almost always head over heels!

The opposite of love is not hate.  It is indifference.  

(I might a heard that somewhere else; I can't remember.)

We all have that one dream we can't admit to our friends.

I love a person
Who can admit when they are wrong
Surround yourself with them
You'll be happy your whole life long

"The blind must believe in the absence of sight."
-David O'Reilly

He's working his way into the rhythm of my life
In that I expect him there.

I have seen people obsessed with God
This is the last acceptable obsession

Nobody can break your heart without your consent.  
Blame is always a two way street

One of those souls
You can tell
He's gorgeous
No matter what he looks like

This Boy done disappeared on me
I know he'll be back soon
Shortly he will need a fix
Of what only I can do
I keep him on no leash, you see
For I know there is no need
All women in the world
None of them can be like me

He's that guy I'm flirting with
When I'm across the room
Having a conversation with anyone else

Hey, you oddball guy
Who has just messaged me out of the blue
Acting like we have some common history
Going on about some imagined (or at the very least, forgotten) exchange
I'm not sure if this is some new pickup tactic,
Or maybe, you're a freak
Either way, please
GET THE MESSAGE, and stop sending them to me

You keep saying you want that boy to change
And maybe, just for you
But how could you expect him to love
Someone who can't accept him for who he is
Would You?

I'm such a snob
Any time I see the word "sonnet"
I can't help but roll my eyes

Convenience and entertainment has turned us all into hypocrites.
We all want to save the world
But the task too big to even try
Plus, plastic bags are so convenient
And Styrofoam keeps coffee hot longest

Thinking about you
Is like flying with my mind

It is hard for me
Someone who has been through all the worst life has to offer
To understand depression
I want to empathize
And a big part of me does
I remind myself that depression is not linked through life's circumstance
But a chemical reaction of the brain
As someone who has had a brain explosion
I understand the inhospitality a brain can put upon you
I am sorry for your troubles
Even if I cannot understand them
Maybe that's the thing about mental illness
It is un-understandable

Political correctness
Dictates subjects we should not address
Yet we've elected a leader who isn't politically correct

You tell her she's beautiful
I think you should tell her what you really mean
You think she's beautifuck

I love when I know you are in the same space
When our minds are clicking
And working off each other like cogs that love coming around to their shared space on the wheel, kissing once every so often, and then back on the rounds
Working separately, yet together, for the same purpose

I used to live in piece, but now I am in peaces.  
They're is no way
The voices are louder
And now, there coming closer to their

Please do not tell me what I cannot tell you
My voice is my own, your opinions can *****
I suppose you think I'm rude
But I could say the same to you
I'm not the one tryna go around
Telling people what to do

I'm always comin' around to you
That thing that only you can do

So Far
But the guy I fall in love with is going to be made from pieces of you.

There is no problem worth your life
We've all had our share of strife
Looming monsters, big today
Tomorrow will seem child's play
Take the chance, and give a try
Don't believe in your brain's lie
Tomorrow is another day
You can make it go your way

Come on, Boo
Write for me
Ignite me, delight me
Set my spirit free
If I live in your poem
That's immortality

I've never had my heart broken
However, it has been dented a few times
And even dragged through the mud
Luckily, I'm a tough *****
Here I sit
Heart as good as new
Waiting here, for someone just like you

Would've, could've, should've, didn't
Played the game, but not to win it
Angry at the referee
Blame him, or her, and even me
Ah, the guilt comes flowing free
From those who take no responsibility

I love that he's so confident
He opens himself up real wide
Gives us all a peek
What's sitting there inside
He's not afraid to feel
But keeps it real classy
That man is wonderfully loyal
To his family
He sends me on mental gymnastics
The exhilarating kind
Oh that guy can give me
An ****** of the mind
I prefer to keep it casual
As that's the only way
I'm not looking for a lover
Just enjoying his friendship today

Oh, I'm gonna give it to you
I'm gonna give it to you good
And once I have done it
You will always wish I would
Up and down
All around
Oiled, with my scent
You should know my back massages
Feel like Heaven sent

I'm sorry, miss
We have to revoke your hashtag license
You put the tag of "****** abuse"
On a poem about breastfeeding.

I didn't lose my mind
I know where I left it
It got stuck to some guy's jacket
And I couldn't follow him around
Without being a creep
My mind will come back to me
It always finds it's home
But I am an owner of a mind
That surely loves to roam.

Dearest wordsmith fellows
Poets whisper in bellows
But it's impossible if you can't
Discern a poem from a rant.

All the smiles for no reason
That special, **** glow
The secret new rituals that suddenly feel so ancient
Holding hands, even just walking to the car
The tingly feeling, wherever you are
Aaahhh....new love.

Queen of my heart
That woman was
And so, she'll always be
But every time I sparkle and shine
Nana lives on, through me

Tangled up in you
Paying attention
To everything you do
Of course, it's all so new
It could be fleeting, too
But the tangle could become undone
And we continue two
As one

He entranced my mind
So clever was his wit
I would gladly bind
Myself ever to it
Unfortunately his mouth
Was full of
Jealousy
It took just a short while
To see he wasn't for me
Yet, still I think about him
The boy who ignited my brain
Oh, the chance I didn't take
Saved me a lot of pain

In poetry
You can do whatever you want
You can pull a Dr. Seuss
And create a skiddelybont
You can travel to the future
And also back in time
You can imagine you're a unicorn
Or even be divine
In poetry
The world is yours to mold
Warm, sunny nights
Or stuck out in the cold
But it is no bother
The trials you may find
Are over as soon as the next poem
Forms itself within your mind

It was lost
But not at such a terrible cost
For, you see
It's not possible
To find something that's never been lost

I can't tell whether it is meant to give warning or gain attention
We all wanna pull that trigger
Without consequences, of course
I'm starting to think the words
"Trigger Warning"
Have become the trigger

None of us want to read about
You bragging about you
We don't care how many "*******" you can find to *****
We don't care about your fresh clothes
Or all your daring dos
In your narrow world
You dominate your own news

I had a stroke, you see
So now my son takes care of me
It breaks the heart in me
I want him to be free
He is the bright spot in my day
And says he wouldn't want it any other way

Hey, Mr. Risk Taker
You thought there was no deal breaker
But, like the gambler you are
You pushed it way too far
Even with all those cards I hold
You forced this girl to fold

Sit and rest a while
Maybe we can bring back that smile
Lessons can be hard to learn
And we have all had our turn
But just like we have made it through
You will find that you can, too
Just sit and rest a while
