Poems
May 2019
i am
i am
cold toes and ripped jeans,
scalding tea and fake smiles,
too dangerous to love.
i am
worse than you think,
faded scars on hips and wrists,
ragged combat boots held together by duct tape.
i am
coffee breath in the morning,
chattering teeth in the afternoon,
a headache in the evening.
i am
in love with being in love,
too afraid to live properly,
draped in the color black.
i am
more than I can handle,
shining brighter than I thought,
waiting for the world to end.
i am
twisted, broken, and desperate,
shattered glass on a tile floor,
blood stains on old sheets.
i am
an art form gone awry,
burnt and discarded matches,
broken hearted and hopeful.
i am
glassy and bloodshot eyes,
shaking hands,
***** coffee mugs sitting in the sink.
i am
a skipping CD,
a restless night’s sleep,
shadows under eyes that look more like bruises.
i am
wholly and entirely me,
wrapped in flannel and denim and crystals,
something no one else can replicate.
i'm just myself
