Sleight Heart
Kyrstin Bowser Jun 2019
To my dear friend, or so I thought, your actions have made it clear,
Our friendship’s come to an end, and you truly have taught, that I no longer need you here.

I truly know now, what a true friend should be, and it ‘s not the definition of you
Because today you showed me how, to open my eyes and see that your intentions were never true.

Now you’re just digging a hole, it gets deeper as you say, things that make others weak,
Next time think of the toll, that you will have to pay, when you don’t think before you speak.

The moral of the story, that I want you to hear, is that you shouldn’t be an untrusting friend,
Because you’ll lose all your glory, you’ll cause many tears, and bring relationships to an end.


In life you’ll have people who’ll say they’re your friends, but honesty is what they lack
Because they will take out a knife,
To end your whole life,
But instead stick it right in your back.

Skin and Bones
Kyrstin Bowser Feb 2021
how can someone see under skin and bones
how could someone be only skin and bones.

It’s hard to believe I’m only so
My body yearns to grow and grow
Even I will never truly know
Why I am only skin and bones.

Can you not see the eyes upon my face,
The ones that were made with love and grace
Or my mouth that speaks of a past that’s broken
And I wish from this nightmare to be awoken

Do my scars not mean that I am human too
My heart is breaking and yet you have no clue
I long for a place that feels like home
I long to be more than skin and bones
You see nothing other than my appearance alone
And it makes me question if I’d like to be grown

How can you judge me on how I look
When I’ve got so much to tell I could write a book
Beneath all this skin is a heart made of stone
And I know in my heart I’m more than skin and bones.

— The End —
