I should worry less
about the talent in
your fingers and
take pride in my
own

               spin me
i don't mind
as long as my hand
stays in yours
and yours in mine

your eyes pierced through mine
and brought new light
to my blinded eyes
though too soaked from
too much crying,
too much weeping
the spark blazed on
into a forest fire

there are times,
a lot of it,
when i would
go against your lead,
dance off beat,
and even step on your feet
but you didn't let go
and leave me alone,
you held me tighter
and pulled me closer

i'm already buried
too deep in your chest
too lost in your embrace
that i can't hear
the most exciting rhythm
or the sweetest melody
that they can play
but i'm dancing to the most
wonderful                    
beautiful        
glorious
song ever made

i'm dancing
to the beat of your heart

I thought I knew everything
But everything I knew was nothing
A step to gaining wisdom, and understanding.

I woke up today thinking about you
I woke up today wondering what I'm going to do
Where is the eagle that used to soar high
An eagle that learned how to fly
Never wanting to touch the ground again

You have lost your flight
You fell high from the sky
Now you walk on the ground
Vulnerable to predators
To things that walk on the surface of the earth
What used to be your prey
Have now become your predator

What can I do?
I wasn't the one who taught you how to fly
I see you down there
Lost
Lonely
Not knowing what to do
Or where to go
Going deeper into the dark unknown

Will there be a time I lose sight of you?
Where I can not reach
And watch over you?

We used to fly together
Racing from one cloud to the other
Seeing the sun set and rise
Do you not miss these things?

I hope you don't lose sight of the sky
I hope you don't lose sight of yourself
An eagle who is born to soar high
Flying up in  the sky where predetaors can not reach

Don't lose sight

some fights are
as short as one
word or two,
and over before
you could say so
or think so, some
fights happen while
nothing is said, some
fights happen all in your
head.
(c) Brooke Otto 2013
He's as straight as a curved line
Or so we speculate, or so he denies
A thousand signs, a million hints
Never as refreshing as an evening mint

He praises the men who live in the screen
Projected in front for all to be seen
“Is he attracted?” we ask
“Or is he just trying to bring joy so that his sadness will be masked?”

Deeper and deeper the bird plunges
Smaller and smaller the sky gets
His limbs flow and soon, suffocated
The days of his junk is dated

A sudden movement, always an explosion
Always seems intoxicated by a freak potion
Unnecessary but not always unwanted
But still every inch of his body is demented

His wretchedness is our pleasure
The distance between his pain and our joy cannot be measured
I say, everything in the universe is against him
We say, his very existence is sticky and dim

Angry mom
Uncleaned room
Missing chair
Math grade in doom

Lost books
Crossed and shaky legs
Blemished looks
Intermediate pad in despair

Rotten eggs
Sudden rain
Dancing legs
Junk in pain

Moldy bread
Virused usb
Relationship with girlfriend now dead
Showing off his bare body

Humongous hands
Side comments
Life never bland
But forever in lament

Alas, I bombarded him with questions
He states that he feels no hatred is most situations
Sometimes we wish that his life would change
But that would make our own very strange
Bird = v neck
Sky = skinny jeans

Here's a poem that I wrote back in 9th grade about the 3rd weirdest guy in my class. I'm sorry that I wrote this poem, Julio Laforteza. Gosh I'm so mean.
all you asked for this Christmas was for me to be well

I'm pleading that for you
Centered,
a *** on the wheel
spun by some
unkown power.
Let this
galactic energy
shape me into
something
magnificent
