The moor was dense
But the film was loose
and my blistered heel
broke the surface
and paralleled your cry,
ringing.
reverberation was never so kind in
this fog,
and it swallowed you.
Mist licked my open eyes.
Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Homes: The Adventure of the Priory School
my throat is
sore
with the effort
of keeping my
words
to myself
(c) noa harriott
Alone she stands in the battlefield
Bruised and battered not ready to yield
Brave she is , a soldier strong
Alone she's fought for a time too long
She will not falter she will not break
She will conquer every challenge she will take
Her wounds are heavy and they don't heal yet
But she will not rest till her goal is met
The end has come , she is hurt and bleeding but the fighting  is done
She is brave , she is a survivor and her battle stands won .....
Its the first poem i have put up here or shown anyone besides my best friend ... need an opinion
i sit on the streetcorner of your mind
and every once in awhile
you drive by
throw money at me
say
hey baby
how about a
smile
and i smile for you
because im in the red
naturally

you do not mind
paying for my ******* smiles
and playing with the curvature of my lips
you do not mind
buying me for an hour
to smile at you

i am glad
that my crinkled eyes
are enough to make you feel better
i am glad
that you feel you are good enough to me
to demand a smile for free
sometimes

and only because
i want you to feel better
do i give them to you
even when the bank is looming
shaking all the outstanding debts
at me
that i really
owe myself

you do not mind
ravaging the smile
you paid for
you figure that you are allowed to ****
that which is yours
and i let you
because you
paid for it
I want to be talked to,
Held,
Caressed,
Cared for.
I feel like I don't deserve it,
I’m too
Selfish,
Awkward,
Distant.
I have a hard time connecting,
I feel
Judged,
Incompetent,
Inexperienced.
So I’ll just stopped trying.
