I may be too small to see
over the edge of the countertop
but I am not too small
to see past your lies
and into your heart,
mind, and soul
I have many good friends who are smaller than I, but watching other people underestimate them, motivated me to write this poem. Enjoy.

If you sit on the chair
Will you watch me stare?
At your thin arms
Missing your old farm

She moved you here
And year after year
I look at your falling face
And think about your case

And this place
Is hidden from space
And it can embrace
Your grace.
Bad news came in. My grandfather had a stroke, so there goes the mood.
Flying high above the clouds
Just to set out your shroud
Trapped inside with nowhere to go
But suddenly, the plane has gone slow

Skyrocketing to the earth
You wonder if it’s worth
It to die and to never be found

Watching you fly in the air
Plummeting to the ground and you want to help
But you have to stay strapped to your chair
You can hear a dog yelp
From off in the distance
You know there is no more resistance

You know that it is over so you give up the fight
You don’t want to die like a knight
So I decided to write
This poem about your flight
the flight that changed your life
and mine
but not for the better.
I still hate rhyming poetry but I had to do this for class, and it came out pretty good so I put it here and if you were wondering:
This poem is about my friend that I met when I was younger, and I only knew her for a year but we became really close but she died in a plane crash.
So, yeah, this is my ode to her.

Is that my name up on that list?
Does someone know that I exist?
Is this a mistake?
Am I even awake?
Pinch me now to make sure...
Ow!
Is my name in black and white?
Maybe I'm doing something right
Wow! I feel so much better than before.

Callback list came out for a solo and made it! Legally Blonde (cheesy, I know, sorry) shows that perfectly.

Silent Pieces

The Clouds whisper small words to me, scared to try. The Sky screams and flails, to angry to think. The Boat simply lays there and watches the scene of the clouds and the sky roll onto each other. Again and again they fight, Anger and Terror throws punches.

Yet the Boat* simply sits and watches.
How does that rolling rainbow glimmer
as the dark clouds roll into the fresh morning light?
You loll along the blue skies,
casting away the dark clouds in your wake.
Your colours of blue pink green and yellow brighten any day,
as you soar across the early morning skies.
I should be working, but I'm not, oops! ;)
Cuts and bruises line my face
my arms
my legs
and my back,

all from you
and what you did to me
of course they're not real
that's just how I feel
as they join the scars on my heart

Chin up. Nose up.
Use good grammar. Use good everything.

That's not me.

The sound of shrieking engulfs me
like large flames flickering against me
the tongues of fire reach my soul
setting my heart ablaze
but I still run
through the wall of fire that traps me
inside its blood red heart

Then your hands hit me
they land softly against my back
giving me a sense of safety
But when I look down
Your hands are the flames
Your eyes a bright orange
so I run
through the wall of fire that traps me
that keeps me hidden
inside your blood red soul

Suddenly, you embrace me
your palms against my waist
feel like ice
Your fingertips graze my face
and I look up into your clear blue eyes
and I don't feel safe
But, I know that I am

I am always safe with you
So keep me by your side

Rebel Heart
Well I'm crashing, barely breathing
The feeling I've lost all control
On the driver's seat, but who's driving?
I'm sitting slowly losing my soul

You told me it would get better
Told me to give it some time.
Is it time enough now though,
Now that I'm bleeding out in rhyme

Flipping over and over again
While broken shards of memories lost
Burn through my bleeding brain.

Crashing and turning over again
While sounds of sirens drown me out
Driving me insane

Yet the impossible promises never stop
"You're going to be okay"
I'm gasping and drowning for air
While you're begging me to stay

So close to the end
And I never felt more alive
I just took a shortcut out
Of this never-ending drive

"...in a major accident..."
And the voices are drowned out by chimes
Because the only mistake I ever made
Was struggling to live all this time

So what's so bad about that?
I'l never see the finish line
But there was nothing waiting for me there anyway
Except a simple "dead end" sign
A poem I dug up from about a year ago but still gets my feelings right today
