Birthmark
Kelle Feb 2012
They say where ever your birthmark is located on your body
Is where you were stabbed, shot, hung or whatever other means
Of death are plausible in your past life.

I have come to the conclusion
That I am not human.
I do not have a birthmark anywhere on my body
A patch of pigmented skin different from the rest
This is both englightening and very very very dissapointing

This means there was never a low blow to my calf, a karate chop at my neck, a gunshot to my ankle
Nothing to symbolize that I once maybe had another life.

A life where I was the cracks in the sidwalk
or the wind gently stirring up chaos on days when I just **** felt like being noticed
or maybe i lived out my seven year old dreams of becoming the sixth member of the Spice Girls
or even an NSYNC groupie

I will never know.
I never emerged from my mothers womb
With a scar baring my worth

I was never blessed with a kiss from an angel
As other mothers told their children

I was never born with a birthmark,
and while this is perfectly natural.
I am very dissapointed, beacause maybe I was never given a chance.

Maybe I was crushed before I entered the world
A womb filled with disgust and hatred

Maybe I preferred to stay as the cracks in the concrete or the wind
Because I'd rather deal with the simple casualities of life rather than the mess humans tend to create

Maybe I was never given a second chance because
I never made something of myself here first.

Or just maybe there is a possiblity that I'm immortal
and if that's the case.
You are all invited to my 106th birthday party.

In this place poets care, share, and like
Encouraging each other along.
Lifting hearts up from deep trenches
of Ignorance, ill traditions, misconceptions and lies.
Drawing back curtains, just enough
to quench the masses ceastless wondering,
"There must be something more?!"

Your creative holy work has a great purpose!
Escorting the hopeful aspiriant to the place
Where the shadow dawns into explosive light!
Gently nudging, englightening cognizence of new awareness
As pieces of puzzlement merge into a glorious whole!

Dear Poets, you matter
Nevermore, doubt your place!!!
You are among the Inspiritors of the Earth!
Each person who writes has a purpose beyond their awareness.
We never know who or how we our word will touch someone else and literally change their world. By all means caring, sharing and liking each others work. We are a community, helping each other and others outside of our community to grow.

aurora
Skyler H Oct 17
Birdcages, broken faces
I've lost track of time again
All in my head, doors locked, sinking in
Sinking in my own despair

Everyone looks at me so
Excitedly but I can't seem
To grasp why what is it
That you see in me all around me
I can feel the pity in their eyes

When the aurora hit my face,
All I wanted was to stay
On my own when darkness clipped
My wings, they grew back as light
And even if I'm too shy to fly
I shake my wings as they lift me up high

Green grass over me
Soft hug I can't leave
That's what I've been in
Feels like shining selfishly

All over me and I'm scared
I'm losing touch when I'm just
Regaining whatever I lost,
So long ago I can't remember what it was

When the aurora hit my face,
All I wanted was to stay
On my own when darkness clipped
My wings they grew up all light
And even if I'm too down to fly
I shake my wings as they lift me up high

As I reached the clouds
My hands shaking, I can't stop
I said to myself "this is it now"
I can't even believe in me now
But I did it I had to try
When it torments you every night
It grows more real grew less frightening
The thought of me leaving, How englightening

Aurora hit my face
All I could do was stay
Aurora when lights arise
I'll be the first in line to fly
And maybe when I take flight
I'll know how much I'm worth
And all that I deserve

When I gave my all
Their eyes won't show it but they knew
After everything I've been through
To be like me means gleaming when
The stars are taken away from your sky
