I think
my scalp's anorexic
as my hairs
getting thinner



Billy the Bear he had no hair,
as bald as bald could be.
And never mind that he's half blind,
with but one eye to see.

His nose is broke his voice a croak,
his arms and legs quite weak.
but that's okay you'd hear him say,
if only he could speak.

Cause though he's old he's never cold,
not tucked up next to me.
he's kissed good night and cuddled tight,
and loved so thoroughly.
Thought it was time to pen something sweet. But one eye is a play on button eye

Sometimes I feel like I'm made of glass.
An easily shattered soul ready to break.
I still don't know how much I can take.
I wait for something to happen everyday in class.

I want to learn something.
I need to learn an important life lesson.
After winter I wait through the year as the grass goes cresson.
I think about all the time I spend on nothing.

As this goes on I'm very dull.
I become boring and zoned.
Everyone assumes I'm just calm and toned.
But really I am just feeling null.

I try to build my up my glass walls.
I try to be made of stone.
I want to sit on a nice throne.
Awaiting as it all falls.

I'm sending in an application.
This will be an indication.
If they accept me I will be happy.
I will go to a wonderful university.

I have wanted to go here for a while.
I will have a lot of work in a pile.
I can't wait to hear back.
I will have my life on track.

I will probably end up in a sob.
I will find a job.
I will grow up soon.
My application will be sent by noon.

I can for sure say I'm nervous.
Before I know it I'll be saying,"at your service!"
I'm scared to move on.
My new life will soon dawn.
Hello blue sky,
how are you today?
and oh the grass,
why are you so green
and soft?
Such a comfortable cushion,
for my weary body.

Hello blue sky,
why are you so close to me?
I'm on the green grass
aren't I?
I feel like i'm floating,
silently, slowly
up onto a cloud.

"Hello blue sky"
the wind whispered,
and the grass beneath me disappeared.
There was nothing to hang on to,
I was grabbing at the air,
hoping, praying,
that I would stop moving.

Go away blue sky!
I shouted in my head.
Let me go,
let me gain control,
of my chaotic thoughts,
and movements,
I must be in charge.

Leave blue sky,
you are no longer kind.
You're just faking that everything
is alright.
Well it's not ,
so please return the ground,
I need it.

Come back green grass,
and solid earth.
I need the support,
of you right now.
Please return,
so I can stand
and fight.

Why am I fighting?
I don't really know,
all I know is,
i'm being accused.
I'm defending myself,
and fighting for what is right,
with the only way
that will work.

I'm using my words,
standing on the green grass,
looking up to the blue sky
and shouting
"Show me who you really are!"
The sky turned gray,
and I smiled.

There will be no more lies in my mind.
We all have our own inner battles, some are darker than others. But if we can see the light and the opportunity to fight and speak up for ourselves, we could destroy those inner demons, that chose to reside deep within our souls.
Don't put me on a pedestal

cause

I've got acrophobia.
Acrophobia fear of hieghts hear that Hitchcock it's not called Vertigo
Watch the world spin,
slowly turning,
me around.
I'm stuck in motion,
so much choking,
that i've found.
My eyes can't see,
what's in front of me,
and im scared,
of what it could be.
All there is,
are,
chaotic eyes,
messed up minds,
disgruntled faces,
but moving grace.
The pain is real,
the thought is clear,
fear races through my
soul.
Rabid mouths,
twisted words,
raking gaze,
control has changed.
It plants a seed,
for fear to grow,
not into a flower,
but a ****.
The **** needs to be,
plucked out of the ground,
quickly.
If time could move slow,
then I would dodge,
all the hate.
But I can't freeze time,
I can't reverse it,
i'm stuck in a moving,
time zone,
where I always find,
my worst enemies,
who always have,
chaotic minds,
gripping hands,
frozen faces,
empty stares.
The Pain is real,
it's all they feel,
and it burns
into their souls.
But,
what I see now,
there is good.
And they have,
Pretty eyes,
beautiful minds,
a stable face,
and awkward grace.
There's no pain here,
and that's what I feel,
and it fills my soul,
with hope.
Joyous mouths,
encouraging words,
a soft gaze,
control has changed,
again.
Pass the gaffer tape
my mind's in pieces...

but like my meds

this is

just a temporary fix.
My mind is drained
looking for a way
to be less used
like the back side
of the page.

I almost never use the backside of pages in my notebook, thus this poem.
Tis time this poet put to bed
all the words he's yet unsaid
or written down to here be read
but fear ye not I will

So rest ye well and all good night
I'll see you come the morning light
as darkness once more put to flight
by sunlight on the sill

Sweet dreams to all my friends
