Take a strong gaze at my wispy arms,
For you will never notice such a small bond.
You stare upon my one bloomed smile as its auburn crunch awakes you.
See I’m not stable on my own, I need help to stand as short as I can for you.
My broken bones sway away in the cold grey wind as I became chilled in your seduction.
It seems my roots are the only thing to hold me tall
For it is all I know to grow to be.
I shall never be your center stage for you know too many stronger than me to be bold.
A century sick of my slim strands scoping to be saved,
still I stand single.
My bloomed leaf is so slowly sailing off my ill arm like the known failing life.
Waiting for your end
or perhaps its freedom.
Until I am stung by neglect from this incomplete fevered world.

The Dark

They say silence is a good thing
A way to clear your mind,
Relax,
Realize your true goals,
What you really want

But the thing is,
When you dig,
You don't always strike gold
Sometimes you go too far
And all you find is the dark
And before you know it,
You're falling in
And you have to claw your way out,
Force youself away from the dark

And when you reach the surface,
You'll try everything,
Anything,
that will keep you out of the darkness

Makiya
you give off
a sort of disgustingly wonderful sweet music.
I find myself humming it every time you pass me.

spill out your heart, sister,
show me you're warm inside,
show me you're not just a popsicle with a
hard center holding you upright

show me
please
show
me.
