uncertain
Shannon Kelly Apr 2013
I think I found the
meaning of life,

to be happy,

but no one seems
to agree with me.
They think its

to make money
to be sucessful.

I guess I don't really understand.

Maybe, Maybe
Shannon Kelly Nov 2013
maybe
if I write a poem
that encompasses
all of
my thoughts,
I can finally stop thinking

but
since all my thoughts are about you
I don't think
there are enough lines
or words
or letters

so I think
I will continue to write
all my ideas and poems
and all it-
until you finally
think of me too.

you make me
Shannon Kelly May 2013
the saddest love story
I had, I had worshiped you
but you did not see me,

see me for what
I could be, could be every other
thought I think, I think of
love with you

of love with you, with you,
you make me the saddest.

Leave Me
Shannon Kelly Mar 2013
You can probably tell when I am mad
or sad
Any woman can hide it all,
so true.
But only the real ladies leave it
on the table
to see who will be there
through and through.
You might leave me,
but at least it's for
the real me.

A million blades
of grass- yet so few to have
ever walked on them

A million blades
of grass- a few million
yet ever walked on

A million blades
of grass- a few million
yet to see, to grow

A fear
Shannon Kelly Oct 2012
I'm not scared of death.
That's what scares
me.

The Conscious
Shannon Kelly Nov 2013
"please be happy"
she said begging,
pleading

"no" came the voice in reply,
deep within herself

Keep A Record
Shannon Kelly Jun 2013
every love poem I wrote,

I wrote for you

my muse,
one ode for everything unsaid
and a skew rhyme for the reasons I fret

every line
and all this



                                           space,

every word:

for you.

Timing
Shannon Kelly Apr 2013
"Him", her mouth says

and he looks away

before he could see
her eyes screaming
"you"

and she tried not to show
just how she hurts

but it's hard.

He knows it too.

These Words- Part Two
Shannon Kelly Jan 2013
I want to drink
until I sleep
Stumble into oblivion
and cover my innocence with sheets

Find the truth through
my dreams
and not care if fog rolls over,
blinding reality
not revised

Being
Shannon Kelly Feb 2013
I'm hungry but there is no need to eat.
I'm blind but there is no need to see.
I'm sad and don't feel like being

here.

wanting you more
Shannon Kelly May 2013
I wish
I had someone
to show my teeth to
late at night
after I have had a
good cry,
but mostly
I wish it
was to you
I was
smiling.

Sorry for
Shannon Kelly Apr 2013
my lack
of speech,
I could
not fathom
spurting random
words from
my mouth
when my
mind was
filled with
"I want you"
"I want you"
"Oh god, you don't want me"

I do not know.
Shannon Kelly Feb 2013
I think
I was sad
today.
I think
it rained
today.
I could not
get out of bed
to find out.

So Stay
Shannon Kelly Feb 2013
Could it be
that a life without you
would be the end of me?

Yeah. Probably.

Shannon Kelly Apr 2013
Your mind holds
the answer
of a question
I seek inside of me,

give me the permission
to love you.
