Bipolar(20w)

'I am happy.'
'It's her bipolar.'
'I am sad.'
'It's her bipolar.'
'I am scared and confused.'
'It's her bipolar.'

Why..just why

Remember Me (20w)

For every shade
of green you see
For every wave
you catch in the sea

*I hope you remember me.

Senior Year Killed the Syllabus Week Pt. 2 (20w)

You fell asleep before I even got my bra off
Giving me a B for half-assed, dreaded, and deadened effort

Feeling 20w

When I'm not writing,
I have the terrible feeling,
That I do not have feeling,
And can no longer write

poetry is my joy

Skin (20w)

Skin (20w)

Little cracks like weeping windows
we grow opaque
and under the pale blue moon
(tainted)
you seep into my soul

To Be(20w)

To be what they want
Is to win a battle
To be who you are
Is to win a war

Ginger (20w)

I've always liked gingers
But I've never met a ginger I liked until you.
Your flaming hair echoes my desire.

A Gardener, Not A Flower (20W)

Those hands,
Cleaned with our clothes,
Washed with the rice,
Rough like these days
Are feet that kept me going.*

Liking (20w)

Love Nov 2014

Liking (20w)

I say I've moved on
And yet I find myself still liking
Every new status
Every new picture.
How pathetic.

I really need to move on but I can't when she took my heart and ran away.

warm me up (20w)

your soul is much colder than
the weather and winter air,
but i bet your hands are
warm, at least.
