Racquel Tio Jun 2016
my hair is the texture of the grass in the field I didn't wanna grow up by
it feels like I've been swimming in the ocean but really I'm drowning on land
I learn time and time again that some things are more beautiful when you just leave them alone and maybe I could've been one of them
I am as unnatural as my upbringing
Poetic T May 2016
Her cremated hands held the cherub
of her ingrained expression on lipless
holdings. In basins of white did she
linger sight beyond hers, showing all
the creation of depraved meetings.

The child was silent, motionless in
Its satin sinews that covered all but
its unadorned features, yet weeping
was expelled as dark shades wept
Charcoal tears upon nothingness.

Her hair tightly held back, obsidian
in nature like a tomb stone of neatness.
A mothers love, of that which is an
aversion of ill conceived conception.
Purgatory welcomes its inception

For fear I see the world
With clarity
I maintain my vision blurry
Glasses scratched
Creating Distractions
Fighting dragons
Not ordinary everyday dragons
mind you
This species
Are shadow beasts
Hiding and lurking
Always taunting
and tempting
Venom breathing
Talons ripping and clawing
can't be contained beasts
Just enough to keep
things interesting
beasts
Oskar Erikson Apr 2016
It's.
A trap,
the little lady
sings sweet cyanide songs.
Drawing lost lambs softly, quietly.
To slaughter them. Quite rightly.

Their names'll be forgotten anyway.
Who said that snakes were the only deceivers?

its distorted your brain
and now we're both insane
you're drowning in your whiskey
and i'm drowning in the pain
call me when you're sober
baby text me when it's over
the high says that you love me
i'm in constant discomposure
//our love was never pure\\

If you ever looked in the mirror
And didn't like what you saw

If you ever looked in the mirror
And thought the lowest of yourself

If you ever looked in the mirror
And turned away in shame

If you ever looked in the mirror and cried
Know this

There is always someone
Someone who feels the same
Someone who knows where you've been
Someone who cares

Look at yourself in the mirror
Look at yourself and know
There is hope

No matter how broken and distorted
Your reflection may be
No matter how you see yourself

There will always be someone
Who sees you as you truely are

Beautiful
Esther Feb 2016
Fragility is an electric blue
Shock in your system
From which you twist resistance
Gifted to hands open and begging
Consoling the green murkiness
Of people’s forced emptiness
Filling their scaffolding with
Temporary steadiness
Your abandonment shatters
Into heart shaped glass shards
He picks up even though they cut
And his blood brings no fear
Because your reality is malleable
And wounds are fixable
With scars becoming loopholes
Into worlds of distorted art
Branching out of lines protruding
Introducing your skin before your scars
I see the clearing of newly planted
Seeds of future possibility
In the words you gather
Passing by flowers scented with
All the aromas that haunt you
From your youth
Just to string a sentence
For one surrounded by the obtuse
Entirety of reigning bleakness
You are a beacon of what we
Dream to grow up to be
A star in the morning sky
You shine you shine you shine.
Rafael Melendez Dec 2015
My vision of beauty may be distorted, but I can still recall enough of my innocence to know that you were absolutely beautiful.
