i wonder if our bones feel it differently
when we realize we aren't permanent,
and  that  eventually, we  have  to  die
j u s t  l i k e  e v e r y o n e   e l s e  

do they grow tired knowing they serve
such a finite purpose,  or do they grow
restless  to show their complete  worth?

(because even though in spirit we never
truly leave, our bones do  nothing more
than waste away quietly in the ground.)

or do they not feel the pain
at  all  until  it  is  too  late?
i don't even know what i'm trying to say anymore.  i have all these words in my head but they don't sound right out loud and wow migraines are no fun

hello
For a moment
A tiny moment
I thought I saw you
I thought I
R e a l l y
Saw you
I saw you laugh
And smile
I saw your soul
And I am left in awe
Because I saw how beautiful
You
R e a l l y
Are
Or I could just be my imagination
And I saw you like how I do
Every other day
Quiet and ****** face
With a fake laugh
Forced smiles
Not a glimmer of
True self
In your eyes

At age 8 she wears ribbons in her hair

At age 18 she wears high heels and short skirts everywhere
She cries and mumbles about her childhood
With a cigarette stuffed between her lips.

they placed ten pin bowling *****
into the backpacks of the ballerinas,
strapped them on their backs,
and made them dance,
lightly on wet cement
and if they made a single mark
then they were  sentenced
to choose between
a thousand lovers without a single
love
or a thousand loves without a single
lover
and if any of them could not choose
then they
were buried alive
underneath a new round
of wet cement
for the next group
of uncertain ballerinas
to dance upon,
lightly.
