Waves
Maura Feb 2015
Depression is like waves
it comes and goes
it is never a friend
it is only a foe

Sometimes the waves are rough
and the wind blows too strong
and I am the allege
that clings to the ground

It never really goes completely away
but for now with you I'm okay
so please just sit with me a while and stay
please just sit with me a while and stay.

Bitch Move
Maura Feb 2015
You're a real *****
just to let you know
and I don't want to snitch
but you're such a ******* *****

just  because you're rich
doesn't mean you own the world
you're making me go up a pitch
because I'm so angry that you're a *****

people call you a witch
and now I know why
its because you decide to switch
from being nice to a stupid ****** *****
Seriously. You are. This is a passive aggressive poem.

Spilt Ramen
Maura Feb 2015
There goes my Ramen
oh
no.
there it goes
it drops to the ground
on a fresh patch of snows

There goes my Ramen
oh
no
I see it start to sizzle
tears roll down my eyes
and slowly start to drizzle

It wasn't the Ramen I was upset about
it was life!
it just added to the things that I could doubt
about myself, and thats what made me shout:
***** YOU RAMEN
I JUST WANTED TO EAT YOU
AND NOW ID LIKE TO EAT YOU
ABOUT AS MUCH AS A PILE OF POO
'CUZ NOW YOU LAY ON THE GROUND IN A PILE OF SNOW STEW

Ally looked at me and began to laugh
"Oh Maura take a chill pill or go take a bath.
you need to calm down and really relax
If stress got you down I just want you to know
people cut off their ear because of stress like Van Gogh
so if the stress is too much you should really just go
and get out of here, go home and lay low"
This story really escalated quickly.

Monster
Maura Feb 2015
The monster growls
and snarls
and bares her sharp teeth
Anxiety wakes up and begins to creep
she's been sleeping a long while
but its time to wake up
and slither around the dank and the dark
and ravage on weaklings
like a cold blooded shark
she hungry
ready to prey on raw emotion
she gets ready for the hunt and commotion
suddenly she hears a soft squeak
a sob coming from human flesh
the prey is perfect for her for they're obviously weak
Anxiety chows down and swallows them whole
so you better watch out
Anxiety is coming
and she'll eat your soul

Sleepy Dog
Maura Feb 2015
My dog wants to sleep
but here I am awake
I slowly type
so that no sound I'll make

Fallen Apples
Maura Feb 2015
We're all like fallen apples
that are bruised to the touch
some tumbled from great heights
and smashed on the ground
others took longer to ripe
and others are more round
some are sweet
and some are sour
some are blooming this very hour
I know apples that have holes
bites were taken
and they're broken to the core
some apples are rotten
and some apples are not
but just like us
some apples are in between
and I'd eat them anyway

Anxiety
Maura Feb 2015
I worry everyone knows
the embarrassing thing
and they talk
and scrutinize
and judge
and I worry and worry
even though
maybe nobody knows

Exposed
Maura Feb 2015
If you opened me up
what would you find

If you opened me up
would you close your eyes

If you opened me up
would you chose to stay

If you opened me up
would it be too much
would you have to look
away?

Pains
Maura Feb 2015
My nose ******* hurts
because of this stupid ring
I bought it on the internet
because it looked like great bling

But you know what hurts more
than my stupid ******* nose
my stupid ******* heart
and it really ******* blows

Little craves
Maura Jan 2015
I crave that deep sleep
or that deep awake
but the the kind of awake
where your mind is asleep

I crave a sense of peace
or a sense of inspiration
but the kind of peace
where were your mind
wanders through your imagination

I crave a great embrace
or just a soft hug
but the kind of embrace
that works like a drug

I crave a spiritual wake
or just a nudge from God
but the kind of wake
that'll heal my heartache

I crave oh how I crave
for God's grace to save

When I grow Up
Maura Jan 2015
Somedays I can't decide
I want to be absolutely everything.

Other days I can't decide
because I want to be absolutely nothing.

ugh. life is hard work.

Undecided
Maura Dec 2014
You see I'm always prepared
I'm always decided
I always know what to do
except for the fact
that I really don't know
how I feel about you.

If I could I would
Maura Nov 2014
Dreams are floating around in everyones head
we believe we can’t do it,
I’m not good enough is what we all said

We dream of tantalizing images floating by and by
and we wonder, why can’t that be me
oh why oh why

We walk by each other each day
the grass is greener is what we all say
we go to our beds and as we lay
we dream we were something different
we wish their was another way

You know what I say?
ignore the thoughts
pursue that dream!
look at yourself again
have higher esteem

If you never try you’ll never know
If you never fail you'll never grow

shoot higher and higher up in the sky
until one day you'll realize
that you were always able to fly

Nobody will Remember
Maura Nov 2014
Your pants rip
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You fall down the stairs
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You say something stupid
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you **** really loud
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you cry in front of everyone
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you get yelled at in public
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You fail a test
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You get rejected
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you stutter during a speech
Oh well, Nobody will remember this in 20 years

See these are all embarrassing situations,
don’t fret, this won’t be remembered for many generations
don’t cry, just put on the breaks
and laugh at all your silly mistakes

— The End —
