Joy
In the depths
      of life's chaos
there is hope-
     a light of salvation
to pursue.

Joy,
     in a fleeting glimpse,
but a small moment
     of tender peace,

Calms
    the restless
          eternity.
Rewrite of one of my very first poems, written way back when.

oh you
the you shining brighter
then any sun
you must take this day
in memory
recall it
one day
long hence
for you have innocence
it is  not so bright
come September
unless on a
whim you can call it up
with that snap
of your fingers
red  paint lasts
what a day or two --
even the sky
ages into
horizons--
without
chipping?

Even after I
Cut out my eyes I can still
See truth behind lies.

Come on, the reason
Come on raise this noise
One million people, and not one voice
Come on, it's not over
For me, sing loud

I'd drop dead in two seconds
if my life meant less to you
than it meant to me
I've kept the lights on all night
Why did I never notice?

My lungs are protruding
just to hear you tell me I'm pretty
What the **** is that?
Am I that erroneous
to keep my heart exposed
for a man with no morals
and keep my hopes up?

I live with spineless creeps
crawling over my back like bugs
Mother would be so proud
A billionaire covered in sugar
and the words "your lover"
tattooed on my forehead
because my heart got confused
by a boy with commitment issues
I **** until I cannot feel
Play with the sky until I'm tired

Tell me I'm more than a simple human
because some days I feel so empty
that I don't know who I am
I'm sorry my decisions are clouded
and I'm imprisoned by dissatisfaction
God help the next person
who becomes watered down.

Longest standing –
Missing the train,
The car, the chances.
The security of sterile hopes,
The breaking of the blood molds.
We are made of flawed glass,
Of cringed sand and timeless
Brass.
