Sometimes I feel like there is someone inside of me and she's scratching at the walls of my mind and struggling against all the knots I've tied her in. Sometimes I can't fight anymore and she walks around wearing my skin and my clothes and talking like me and laughing like me and breathing like me. Sometimes I know she will do things that I would never do- she screams and cries and cuts us apart and says things just to hurt you and pushes everyone who's trying to help us away and gets angry at nothing and breaks everything. Sometimes I hate everything about her especially how she hates everyone she's ever known and how well she knows how much the lines of love and hate intersect. Sometimes she blurs us together until we can no longer recognize ourselves as separate. Sometimes I am her. Sometimes she is me. And sometimes,
We are us.

We are all
Nothing
But  our bones
And our mistakes

I don't love easy
And i am not so easy to love
I know in my heart that I can use some work and will never be perfect
But I promise if you love me I'll make it worth it

One
Chest to chest we breath as one
As we danced under the stars to the beat of the drums
The music inside our heads
We will never fall short
You held me tight so you knew which way to go
Together as one you help me make me first leap
Into the air you threw your all
But i know when I come down you'll catch me
Because you knew if you didnt we both would fall
its based on the saying down make me fall if you dont plan on catching me

You waltzed into my life with your boyish charm
To everyone else your quite but to me your actions speak louder than words

You make me feel like a little girl
You make me feel like i can't breathe
You make me feel like you can see right through me

Your smile brightens up my darkest times
Your eyes are the stars that masked me mistake the night for day
You make me feel like i can trust again, love again, live again

A piece of you
Reflecting back
The bitter words in your mouth
Too raw to speak
A poet is
Someone in pain
And someone in love
Someone who looks at the world
Through a kaleidoscope
Who takes a magnifying glass to each
And every
Word you say
And lets them imprint on their heart
A poet is
A star gazer
A dreamer
A chaser of
The improbable
But hopes anyway
A poet is
Tissue paper skin
A heart of glass
And a soul of titanium

A poet is
A sharp tongue
And a gentle kiss
She is a sob
He is a sigh
A poet is
The sun at midnight
Bright and
Burning
Hot
Alive
But cloaked in a darkness
They cannot shake
The brightest day
And the darkest night
A poet is
The human experience
A paradox
An oxymoron
So complicatedly
Simple

A poet is
A lover
Who refuses
To stop wearing their heart on their sleeve
No matter how much it bleeds
But rolls them up
So you can’t see
The blood stains


A poet
Is Poetry
