#live poems on Hello Poetry

Amanda Kay Burke Jan 2021

I am always in a hurry
To get you out of my mind
Love stops me at every turn
Can't leave you behind

Though I have tried

I sit to write this poem and what do I see?
The paper holds a spot of blood
Better inspiration there couldn't possibly be
More accurate metaphor for who I've become

I remember how the planet buzzed when I felt alive
Wrote fun about simpler subjects
Now notebook is the only safe space to confide
Slew of hidden horrors
Stories
Regrets

I remember each
"what if"
I let slip away
I'm feeling low
Their ghosts drop by
Taunting with foggy images of wasted yesterdays
Thrown away to get high

My back pressed against a wall
Words I hate to admit are true
Guess I was wrong after all
Said people don't change but they do

Just sometimes not for the better

Caged Chaos

My thoughts fail to keep in check
Are too shocking to share
I keep the madness hidden
Under layers of clothes I wear

Whether world approves or not
Of cares I will never know
Am better off with them tucked away
Secrets secured down below

I will not display my demons
The words they say
Keeping them confined
Where games they play

This is my cumbersome burden to bear
Belonging to me alone
Trying to corral
Out of line
Never staying in my comfort zone

To be insane
Greatest fear
Cage any chaos within
The weakest parts of me
To body I am living in

I try to suffer silently but it shows in the way I move and the way I talk and even in the way I breathe

I Run Away

Simplicity.
Complexity.

All I need is to breathe.

Formality.
Familiarity.

There is a person who awaits for me.

Three words.
No home to return to.
I want to feel again.
I want to see again.

So,
I run away.

We all want to escape, someway or somehow.
We should all run.
Run to our destiny.

Carter

(We could break the last straw.
Running through these trap doors.
Baby this the last call.
Going gone, blast off.
We goin hit the roof top, moon walk ...Baby we are N.A.S.A
N.A.S.A
N.A.S.A)

Don't need no G5 denied.
I might free dive the sky.
Live like I retired tonight.
I got these tigers in my eyes.
I wanna re-re-revive you
re-re-revive you.
re-ig-nite the fuel.
We live our life for two.
We got the nicest moves.
There's no time to lose.
I got my eyes on you.
That's my kind of groove.

(..We could break the last straw.
Running through these trap doors.
Baby this the last call.
Going gone, blast off.
We goin hit the roof top, moon walk ...Baby we are N.A.S.A
N.A.S.A
N.A.S.A

Check my momentum.
We're glowing through the spectrum.
They want the nectar.
Do it until they necks hurt.
All over the map we in a whole different vector.
This the knight life apple of my eye.
Yaa we do it like the templars.
I'm always gone
So I never know wen digo
wen digo
wen wen digo
wen digo
wen digo
wen wen digo
wen digo
wen digo
wen wen digo
wen digo
wen digo
wen wen digo

(..We could break the last straw.
Running through these trap doors.
Baby this the last call.
Going gone, blast off.
We goin hit the roof top, moon walk ...Baby we are N.A.S.A)

Take some
