Doctor Who
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
The happiest day of my life,
Began with a whisper,
My best friends and I,
Addmitting our innermost insecurity,
A body,
Or the thought of failing,
Or an imperfection with the eye.
She talked about it,
How embarassed she was,
That plain on her eye,
It was there,
"A horrible blotch."
"A sty"
We continued talking,
Moving on to senselss topics,
Ice cream,
Doctor who,
Our favourite jokes.
But I stole a glance at my two friends
He was whispering in her ear,
Just loud enough for her to hear.
"You are so beautiful"
He rejoined the conversation.
Just as a solitary tear ran down her round face. She was smiling.
I continued talking about Doctor Who.
Like nothing had ever happened.
Because some moments are meant to be stolen.

Nothingness
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
The loss of innocence is harsh,
I used to find nothing lasts forever
a terrible thing
I was dreaming for a happy ever after.
But that's different now.
I find it comforting,
to know one day the waves will no longer hit the shore.
The birds will fall silent.
The stars will be lonely,
for lack of admirers.
The whole universe will one day die.
Human existence doesn't matter,
not one bit.
and I love that thought.
Its all fleeting and small,
like a movie trailer for a film you'll never see.
But not all is lost,
not the things we feel,
because they live in the depths of our souls.
and no matter what happens
that place is completely and utterly impenetrable.
ugh. Late night ponderings on brain melting material.

FUCK
Nicole Ormerod Jul 2015
**** **** **** **** **** **** u **** **** **** **** ***,s uuuu
what the fuuuucl
**** ****
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I HATE YOU
BUT ALSO LOVE YOU AND THIS ******* *****

I don't want to start something I can see the end of
we all know what's inevitable;
we all know this tunnel is going to end
we all entered it and know we must pass through it at the other end
but we don't see the end yet, humans don't worry about what we cant see,
with you I see the other end
I see the end of the tunnel and I know how ******* bright and harsh and jolting the light will be,
I'm not ready to start this with you because I know how it will end
I know I will be left blinded, hurting with a sharp pain on the right side of my head
pressure building where you used to place your hand whilst you kissed me
I can;t bare to put you in a position where you have the full power to utterly destroy me
I will bathe myself in fuel  and you will not light the match
I will sit here covered in fumes until they suffocate me
its easier to fall into a coma then burn to death
I would rather slip into nothing on my own
without it being at your beautiful hands.

A Girl Eat Girl World
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
Words shoot at her, slicing open her skin,
some reaching right through to her soul.

Scarring all the things she thought she could be.
A living hell, that scorches her skin.

Being eaten by the monsters that envelop her,
Pretty, innocent, young girls

Sweetly feasting on the soul of one of their kind.

A cannibalistic way of living.
"A girl in the shape of a monster, a monster in the shape of a girl."
- from the play The Shape of a Girl by Joan Macleod
In Memory of Reena Virk 1983-1997
Nicole Ormerod Jan 2014
sometimes it seems we're all filled with sand,
keeling over and giving up,
the sweetness that we once tasted,
now seems to turns our stomachs sick.

But I do not believe so!
I will forever insist on the existence of fairies,
wishing on stars, candles, eyelashes.
I will finger paint to cleanse my soul,
colour with crayons to find peace.
watch cartoons to induce smiles,
and wear flowers in my hair.
because maybe the most important things you learn in your life, are taught to you in your first 5 years.
If you take life seriously, you live absolutely no life at all.

It Was Quite Lovely
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
Remember the days we spent,
with flowers in our messy hair,
running through the fields,
hand in hand, with our eyes closed.
Trusting the wind as it led us both.
Remember when we'd play in the river,
and that one time with the water rat,
the only time you looked to me for comfort,
roles reversed for those few seconds.
I ******* miss you,
but to tell you that,
would be stepping to close to the edge,
the edge of the volcano that stands between us.
the place separarting what can be
and what cannot be.
arguing with that volcano would only make it errupt,
suffocating,what was, what is and what could be.

UGHHH
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
Do you think he means it to hurt this much?
Is love a fault of nature or the very binding of it?
Beauty is a treacherous thing.
every flower wilts,
all the young age,
everything dies.
Nothing lasts.
not even "love"

I hate myself.
not because of the way my hair falls
or the way my lips turn downwards
or even because my body is imperfect
I hate myself because I was taught to.

I'll tell you,
to hate something your stuck with
makes you so very tired of living.

A Scary Mind
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
It is getting bad,
it is happening again,
I can not stop it.

Why is that we all have an overriding need to be pretty,
Girls growing in the moulds of frilly dressed,
Constantly being told "you are so pretty",
Is that all they are?
Are they not interesting, intelligent, powerful.
No they are "pretty,"
Like flowers that stand still their whole lives,
But at least they're pretty.
I refuse to stand still and be pretty,
I refuse to watch wonderful teenage girls trying to scrape their bodies together in an unnatural form just so they will be called pretty.
Be you, be loud, be obnoxious, be strong, be powerful, be amazing. Whatever you do don't be pretty,
After all that's what flowers are for.

Be Here
Nicole Ormerod Dec 2013
You must be here,
in body or in mind,
but just be.
Because the world is going to fall.
Cave in and crumble.

Be here to watch it,
to watch it fall,
with me.
Watch everything you are about,
everything you hate,
everything you love,
turn to a great pile of dust.

You wont miss it,
they'll be nothing to hate,
or to love, or to care about.
The way its supposed to be,
a world with just you and me.

So you must be here,
you must watch it all leave,
everything,
just you and me,
so you must be here.

The thoughts of others seem so much more insightful and wondrous than our own.
I sometimes wonder if anything  I've ever thought is original to me.
A lot of people have walked on and then off this earth.
All thinking as they went.
Is there enough original thoughts left?
who knows?!?!?!
is there any at all???????
The thoughts behind this poem could most likely not be original.
