Origami

Hummingbird
Fold me like you always have,
Run your nails to set the creases,
Shape me to the form you crave,
Bend me into the art of your wishes,

My form forever yours to toy with,
I conform to your will and desire,
Expose my surfaces, above or beneath,
I will always be there for you to admire,

I can be flexible or I can be stiff,
That depends on what you want,
I am here to help fill your rift,
The one who says you can when you can’t,

Craft that which you seek of me,
I am but your art, your origami.

I hold the girl
I want to be
Trapped between
Lines
Of poetry.

We have holes in our hearts
That are either
Scars from the past
Or empty compartments
To be filled in the future

you

forever damaged
full of hate

you

today,
i wore it again
and people complimented me
they say red is my color
and it suits me.

today,
it's too thick and dark
did i overapply
no, it's the right amount
just enough
to make them think
i'm fine.

today,
i look at myself
in the mirror,
and they're right
red shines on me,
so i applied
another layer,
and another
until my lips felt too thick,
but my eyes still see
the scars beneath it.

this is,
my Christmas tree,
not matching a thing,
really,
ornaments,
from years ago,
to lights that don't all work,
you know,

this,
is,
our,
Christmas tree,
a little broken,
like our family,
presents underneath,
are less each year,
as ones i love,

disappear.


this is our Christmas tree,
a little dead,
but still pretty,

this is my Christmas tree,

and its,
a lot like,
me.
don't get to close to the twinkle lights i'm sure they'll bite

What are you?

Three words that changed it all
"What are you?"

I never gave it much thought/
I am human, of course.

But what am I really?

I am a being made up of finite particles and atoms
Derived from the creations of the universe.

I am made of Hawaiian beach sunrises, middle eastern afternoons, and Rocky Mountain sunsets.

What am I?

I'm soft strawberry kisses
Purple thread binding schoolwork and textbooks.

What am I?
More-so
What have I been?

I don't know what I [merciful?]
did.
It must have been a tch.

It could have been my main server
100101010010110101001010110100111010101010101000101010
Thi­s is what I am [merciful?glitch.jpeg].
This is what I've always been.
Just a computer
A server
Artificial Intelligence
Subjected to ones and zeroes.

Nevertheless, it's my fault.
I caused all of this.

Too high.

At­ least there are some survivors.
Am I not merciful?
I reaped this spaceship of a thousand, a million people.
All of which were dying or in danger of.
Am I not merciful?
Living in isolation, unable to go outside for a breath of fresh air
Or . . . lack thereof.
Helpless but waiting in agony while help is on it's way.
Do I not show mercy?
These refugees are healthy, and strong.
Not sick and weak.
I did them a favor.
Did I not pluck these parasites off of the ship for their own good?
Did I not rid these innocent people of a danger to their well-being?
Am I not Merciful?

All this "love"
Is crushing me
Was supposed to post two days ago but this website is a disaster.
