the girls look right through me
I breeze past these halls
the boys like to stare
these narrow endless walls

I don't have a thought
past what's for dinner
for this outgoing girl
sure doesn't have that in her

but what people don't see
the depths of the oceans
deep in her mind
it kills her to go through the motions

it feels good to be pretty
but that's all she is
you need to act perfect
or you'll never be his

makeup will cover
hair can be taimed
but when your heart starts to flutter
the knife is already aimed

for the face you put on
is that what you become
he sees you as nothing more
than a doll too dumb

The Game of Jenga
Susie kate Jan 2014
My blocks are all built up
You think you can play
You begin to take it out
Piece by piece
Don't pick that one I beg
Why must you insist
I watch as it crumbles
One shattered mess
The pieces lying on the table
Mocking my destruction
I liked my tower
I always kept it high
I shouldn't have let you play
You start to take away pieces
The ending is no longer in my hands
You can't leave me shattered.

The Depth in Small Talk
Susie kate Jan 2014
What I say:
I love your new haircut
Did you get your eyebrows done?
Are those new shoes?
It's been so long wow!
You look so good in that shirt!
What are you doing this weekend?
What'd you get on that Algebra test?

What I want to say:
Are you insecure?
What do you think about the sky and all it's colors?
What do you think about late at night before you drift in to perfect sleep?
What makes your heart sing and tingle?

Small talk is for the simple minded
The depth of a conversation can change the world
Expand your horizons
Don't stop at the water, keep swimming
Dive into your heart
Feel my presence
Work to understand the humans
And don't just stop,
Keep looking
Inspired by something my best friend wrote

Heliocentric
Susie kate Mar 2014
You pose as my sun
In my synchronous orbit.
When my life becomes dark
The night begins to fall along with my leaves.
The sun appears
Transcending it's light down.

Warmth and happiness radiate off the sun.
The flowers grow to meet your beautiful gaze.
My eyes glisten in adoration every time I look up at you.

Lost in my world of leaves and roots,
The sun still rises every morning.
Waiting for me to wander outside.
Without the sun my life would be a barren sky.
The world would be a bleak and ominous place.

I shall always know you're waiting outside,
Shining down on me.
My world shall always revolve around the sun.
There is no brighter star in the galaxy than thee.
I shall always look up to you, my sun.
I wrote this for my older sister and I really hope she likes it

Learning to Love You
Susie kate Feb 2016
when I was 3 I scraped my elbow
the bandaid healed it
I learned that all pain goes away
I didn't know
I was learning to love you

when I was 5 I hit my brother
my mom put me in time out
I learned that there are consequences to actions
I didn't know
I was learning to love you

when I was 8 I wrote my crush a love letter
he ripped it up and threw it away
I learned boys are not nice
I didn't know
I was learning to love you

when I was 13 a boy chased me around the playground
he kissed me
I learned that people can make you feel like you're flying
I didn't know
I was learning to love you

when I was 16 a boy told me he loved me
he left me along with my innocence
I learned not everything is meant to be
I didn't know
I was learning to love you

when I was 18 I gave up on finding love anytime soon
I took on the world alone
I learned how to love myself
I didn't know
I was learning to love you

when I walk down the aisle I see a man who lights up my world
I live my life for him
he looked up
and I knew
I was finally ready to love you

Intrinsic
Susie kate Jan 2014
Aloof from reality
People permeate through you
Reach out
Hold it in
You cannot seem to conjure a pure thought
Your troubles engulfing you
The people become elusive
Hello?
Are you there?
But you give no signal
Reassure those who try to reach in
Don't them in
Let's play pretend
That life is ok
That you know me
That I am real
Hello?
Are you there?
Silence is all they hear.

Keep the Moment Covert
Susie kate Jan 2014
The meaning it holds overpowers what it could not.
Those reft of the truth
shall stand with innocence.
Once one sees the flower
one must express its beauty.
But the inwardness between
the clandestine beauty and oneself
powers beyond all.
Once shared to see
the beauty begins to mitigate.
For what is unique
is what is secret.
And what is apparent
is what is barren.

Testing the Love
Susie kate Jan 2014
The fire is lit
The rain irrelevant.
People surrounding trying to bring upon the burs,
But the fire unalterable.
Toasting the air with every deep inhale.
You assure me with your warmth
We see the spark of every enduring flame
The cold chill of winter ceased to exist
Nothing can rid the fiery heat
of this beautiful fireplace of each other.

Happiness in Centimeters
Susie kate Jun 2015
we measure the smile on our face by the width of our pocket
we tell ourselves "if only I had this" I would truly be happy
we spend our lives wanting more
more possessions
more materials
more tangents
to Hell with that
I want less
call me the crazy one, but I want life
more experiences
more love
more beauty
more nature
spending your life trying to reach a goal that is implausible will lead you to a life of unhappiness
but spending your life wanting to live, that will lead to a life of passion

Flowers Die
Susie kate Jan 2014
You hand me flowers
I giggle in glee

You say you love me
I trust in you

You show me the world
I gasp in awe

You care for me through the worst
I feel nothing but comfort

The flowers died
The ones you gave me.

You left me cold
You're love was not true.

You took my all
Then you cut me with your saw.

The worst was yet to come
I've never been so hurt.

You told me you loved me more
I showed you the meaning of more.

Significance of the Sea
Susie kate Jan 2014
The sea is a tease.
The waves are almost tangent to my feet.
The water will come and just gaze the tip of my toes.
It then soon departs,
leaving me with a sense of loneliness.
I am empty of all life.
I was so close to the sea, yet so far.
I barely have sight of the sea bubbles.
They seem to be distancing with every breathe that comes from my lungs.
It is so far
Come close
Save me from my land.

Phasing
Susie kate Jan 2014
I was 3 years old
When I pretending to love this
"It'll be just a hobby"

I was 7 years old
When you told me I was good
At this game I played

I was 10 years old
When I began to love it
Just for you
And our time together

I was 13 years old
When you told me to try harder
I was a mere teen
You shouldn't have pushed it

I was 15 years old
When you told me I was awful
I cry all night
For you no longer see it

I was 17 years old
When I realized I was more
Than some silly game
That I pretended to love

Open-and-Shut
Susie kate Jan 2014
Intensify my thoughts.
Make the unseasonable thing in life delightful.
Untangle my interlaced knots.
When you are exposed will you be spiteful?
The heart of mine is leaking
Accept my unmet qualities that you see.
The heart of yours is peeking
Please don't wag away from me.

Instead be fain to stay,
And see what will become of this lovely day.
Didn't mean for it to be a corny rhyme poem at first, but it'll do.

Storm-filled Nightmares
Susie kate Jan 2014
The drops dissipate below the clouds.
Asking themselves why the sun has become transparent.

That feeling of agony,
Then comes the thunder.
In the pit of despair,
It just can’t get worse.

And then, the lightening strikes.
The cloud begins to seep into the dark,
Reaping havoc,
Moving along.
The winds hiss out in treachery.

The broken tree sinks into the forgotten.
The land lay still,
Silent in numbness,
Forever marked by the destruction of your storm.

Veni. Vedi. Amavi.
Susie kate Jun 2015
we came.
we saw.
we loved.
we are more than conquerors
see the light in the darkest people
love can transform a realist into a romantic

plant flowers in others gardens
water them daily
they may die
but you were there when they needed it most

don't let them belittle you
you are more than the words spilling out
you are actions
you are passion

love: surround yourself with it
even when there's nothing in return

Power of Sadness
Susie kate Jan 2014
How does this engulf me
Physically
Mentally
Emotionally

I'm addicted
I'm hooked

There's always something to mourn

It's easy
It's depth full

I can only feel sullen
How does this feel so uplifting
While simultaneously so crushing

I can't think straight
I can't walk straight

It's taking over
I'm sinking
And I don't want to be saved

Elucidate
Susie kate Jun 2015
I met you
and I knew
why people sang so loud
why the stars shine so bright
why God told me no before
why the word love exists

I met you
and I felt
like I could tell you the world
like I was on a roller coaster
like the world stopped
like the only thing that I understood was you

I met you
and everything reminded me of you
those love songs finally made sense
I knew I could show you my oceans
and you'd still stay

I met you
and life began to make sense

Addict to Hell
Susie kate Jan 2014
The pain is exhilarating.
It feels as though my body has sunken into a dull state.
With one word my skin can crumble.
I am distant from the reality of myself.
I can go to a bad place.
A place where I'm comfortable
Simply because there's nothing to be comfortable about.
I can go away.
It may be called bad,
But it feels so empty
It's full.

Be Free
Susie kate Jul 2015
I see you looking at the sunset
I want you to run out and touch it
don't sit there with wanderlust
live out your dreams

spend time chasing horizons
don't hold back
I want you to experience life
create memories that will last

but when you're done chasing adventures
come back

I can't hold your hand as you climb through life
I can only watch as you mold into yourself
just know that I'll be here
I'll be here when you look back

but baby please
please, *come back

Think What I Think
Susie kate Jan 2014
The material has taken over.
No one questions it's substance.
"Well that's what I was taught," she says.
Not a book,
Not a documentary,
Not a single article,
Ever read by thee.
Nothing but words at the dinner table.
Never been put in that situation.
Never thought of those who have.
Simply,
Caught up in the material.

Lover of the Sky
Susie kate Jan 2014
Your eyes dilate as they stare into mine
My name trickles out of your mouth like a song
The stars align concocting your ****** structure
Lovely is all your smile can be
Arms grasping my body like hope
Water trickles down your cheek; revealing the thousands of lives you've lived
Breathing the air of subtle beauty
The sun beamed it's rays to create your shine
Twinkling lights fill your thoughts
I shall need you until the day I'm not allowed to
I will bask in your words until they cease to speak.
A bunch of my writings thrown all together into one. Sorry it's messy and slightly gay

Pepper and Salt
Susie kate Jun 2015
from winter to spring
all the lovely things
from summer to fall
my sullen face says it all

winter please be rid
those dark placid nights
under the covers I hid
my hearts in tights

spring filled with promise
new faces filled with intrigue
new love; we are novice
lingering question "are we in the same league"

Summer comes as school does go
ask any little face and they say it's the best
then why do I feel I'm putting on a show
but sitting at home I'd have to detest

fall is a season I meet with glee
for change and new places
what will I be?
love fills the air as my heart paces

from winter to spring
all the lovely things
from summer to fall
my sullen face says it all

the seasons do change
the daily faces become of the past
time does heal all
the future awaits; time to meet it with awe
this *****. but just let it happen

The Written World
Susie kate Jan 2014
The words all align on the paper.
Written in between the straight lines.
The words that spill out give you a trickle
It caresses the back of your neck.
The simple meaning can change your life
For better or worse.
You have power to put down whatever you feel suitable.
Nothing can stop you from expressing the feeling in your heart.
No law can keep you from thinking
You can change lives with what you say
It's uplifting
You are in charge
Make the world informed
Entice people with your knowledge
Show the world
The beauty
Of life
The beauty of writing

Infinite Purity
Susie kate Jun 2015
when I see a flower
I want to pick its roots
for I want to share
the beauty with you

my, oh my
every petal leads me to you
the wind whispers
a name that is yours

What I want to hold forever
just slips my grip
soars high above
never to touch the ground

something so pure
is something untouched
the adventure is waiting
to give or give up

I'm Giving You 50%
Susie kate Aug 2015
love is scary
I can't explain
how you make me feel
in the words I know

I hold back
knowing you do the same
because love is scary
it isn't just a game
Susie kate Oct 2019
And how you feel like home,
When I’m with you everything slows down.
I know things are still moving,
They just seem to be so much lighter.

You’re that feeling I got when I was little,
Right after a big storm.
I’d run outside after the rain cleared,
And I’d sit and think that the world never looked more beautiful.

Green Grass
Susie kate May 2019
I’m trying so hard
So **** hard
To be good
Trusting and faithful
To be understanding


But I didn’t tell you
I was told by another
Tonight
That they love me
They want to give me it all

And we haven’t talked much lately
I’m trying to be patient
And have faith in us

I’m not asking for anything
Waiting to see what you do

It’s just so **** hard

When I have this attention
From people who want to give it to me

But the only attention I want
Is from you

— The End —
