baited breath

waiting

waiting waiting waiting

w a i t i n g

how many times have i waited for something to get nothing at all

my heart races. i do laps around my room.

it’s cold but i have to wear a tank top to bed because i’m sweating so much

my mind thinking of 1000 thoughts in 1 second

whenever another friend tells me that they’ve gotten their email my stomach drops

i’m so proud of them and at the same time so worried for myself

i refresh the page every half a minute to no avail

i should just keep reading my english book and do my history project

but nothing can take my mind of of this

this one role in one show that will only be a distant memory when i grow old

it doesnt matter

does it matter

will it matter

i keep waiting
i’m waiting for a cast list rn and i might get a good role but i’m still like “no talent lol” so i’m just like freaking it

a dream

we are at your house
you are holding me in your arms
your friends are there, and my friends in their embrace
the two of us are so high

we watch a movie
(the lion king is your favorite -
but you love all disney movies)
and we make stupid jokes
and laugh until we cry
and i can taste the smoke on your lips
as you lazily attempt to kiss me
i can feel your smile

and to think that in this world
where nothing ever goes right -
i have someone like you
to turn sorrow into sweet dreams
yo i'm ******* gay as **** dude homie slice. is this even a ******* poem idk

chips
mouse Jun 2019
and they told me
"honey, in order to get her to speak,
you need to eat something
in front of her"
and i did.
it was the hardest thing i've ever
done in my life.

so i ate potato chips
oh and they also said
"you have to enjoy them"
and i did. and i enjoyed the chips
and i said "these are
good chips! yum."

and you were so mad
because i said "you're
not getting the chips until
you ask for them"
and you didn't want to
you could but you didn't
want to

and it took you hours
i mean it took the whole afternoon
i started eating in the morning
and you were so mad
so you went in your room
and threw a tantrum

but then you finally came out
and i said "do you want them"
and you grumbled
before saying
"chips"
and i said "oh you
want chips! yay!"
and i gave you the whole bag
you were three
and i gave you the whole
bag of chips
based on a story i was told. i didn't speak until i was three.

never any time in the world

i'm scared of art museums
but if you held my hand
i might be fine

i'm not worthy of your time
but i guess you're right
we all think lowly of ourselves

i kept my love for you in a locked room
but i wasn't prepared for you
to tell me that you loved me too

is it my way with words
and your way with a pen
that made me want to fall in love again

let us hold hands under the table
and you squeeze mine a little tighter every time
a sweet poem for a sweet girl

two sugars with a tea
mouse Mar 2018
if i snuck *** right now i'd likely die
i'm on 3 different kinds of medication
so i guess i'm sniffing glue to get high like all the teenagers do these days according to the teachers and people in big boy chairs

i hate my mother's daily cup of black coffee
it reminds me of me
unliked by girls my age without whipped cream and the starbucks logo plastered on the cup
(you can't get it anywhere else!)
my natural state is bitter and dark
but i never take the time to pour the cream and sweet into my soul even though i want to
so i just sit in the corner and sip the tea, which is never hot anymore
i don't really know what this is. i don't want to say anything i need to say

lovesick by his laugh
he plays cadences on the guitar strings that lay inside my heart
everything he hates about himself i adore him for
he's synonymous with beauty
i'll go crazy with him
and i crave to be by his side
and live inside his embrace
and my only sorrow about him lies in the fact that i can't
will, you make a homie turn into jelly

today proves that hard work will get me nowhere in the new world
today proves that opinions of the well known always take prescedent over the common man's word
today on twitter i saw two things  
broken teeth and art being burned in it's wake
thirst is thicker than passion
being is the same as succeeding
dedication has been replaced by snapshots of moments
if i broke my retainer my mother would scold me
if i dm a ******* twitter that is gaining followers i'm automatically wrong
sorry but i'm livid about this whole #bracesgate going on

jumped in a green water pool
swimming in circles when the phone rang
it was your sister on the line
asking my mom to spare her flowers

and the worlds a facade
but did you ever ask that girl out
i heard you were making out in the closet
did you taste me on her lips

and personhood's a phase; and we'll disintegrate
hes got wings like a pegasus, and i don't know his fate.
there's no meaning behind this, at all. don't know what i'm doing

— The End —
