War
The only way to end the pain,
To siphon excess anxiety,
To quiet the raging whispers,
Is to set the body free.
To give an escape path,
A perfectly straight line,
Symmetrical with the forearm,
That sags into a grotesque crevasse.
The pressure escapes,
Lessening the screaming in my soul,
The clawing at the base of my skull.
When the body is a battlefield
In a war between heart and mind,
There are bound to be scars
Left on the surface after the fight.

It's painfully easy
To share a condescending veiw,
Even when more will change
With action than will with word.
Yet another lecture is what I get.
I'm fully aware I disappoint you.
You've made it widely known.
But I'm not sure I care anymore.
It's just as easy in my mind
To splatter some ink onto the page
As it is to splatter my brains on the ceiling.
I guess we'll see which hurts less.

i'm saying goodbye -
even if you don't
want to meet me again.

i'm saying goodbye -
knowing i will probably
never see you again.

i'm saying goodbye -
being sure i will never
love you again.

i'm saying goodbye -
to free my mind

again.

today a black man told me:
our lips, our noses, our hearts -
they are all the same it's
just the melanin in our
skin that makes
people think we are different.
and I thought man - that's true,
but you could as well say we
are all just humans.

strong girls do not cry themselves to sleep, they wipe their eyes, change out of their jeans, and sleep normally. Even when they're empty, especially when they're empty. I am stronger then I appear to be.
Look at me all grown up,
Told myself to **** it up.
You can't touch me

I'm worried,
If I let my hair down,

You might set it on fire.
rightly so

Ma
Ma, you're the best gem
You are my life,
Ma, the world is filled
with your love.

Ma, you give me everything
all of you, self-goal
Ma, you are the most special
in the earth, first of all.

Mama, you are starving
but give me food
Mama, you are the cure
when I am sick.

Ma, my heaven is
in your care
You’re the most important one
in my whole life.

Ma, I hurt you so much
but you still give me love
If something happens to me
You got beat up!

Ma, you understand my sadness
that I can't language
Ma, let your tears fall
in my sadness,
Ma, you are so happy for me
when I am happy.

Ma, you are my everything
all my love for you, Ma
You have my love and respect
for my whole life!

I am like my poems
And they're like me
Like I write about you
And you're like the sea.

I am your language
And you're my thoughts
Like I write about you
And you're like a lee.

I am a small garden
And you’re its flowers
Like I write about you
And you're like a bee.

I am the blue skies
And you're my dreams
Like I write about you
And you're like me.

I am the early morning
And you are the new day
What do you look like today
I would like to see...

It's the edge of summertime
I'll soak in these last drops of
Sunshine
Cool breezes
and
Peace
:) technically it's the first days of fall but it feels like it's still summer...I'll take it while it last

Fall rested her head on Summer
So she could stay warm for a bit longer

I know I already wrote a poem about the warm weather but it's so nice and this just popped into my mind
