You’re a whirlwind
Always flying
Through my head
Never dying
Back and forth
To and fro
Like a merry-go-round
And around you go
You’re in and out
Up and down
Backwards, forwards
Smile, frown
Half-baked silly
Then stone-cold
Who are you really?
Will I ever know?

Polar opposites, polar opposites, polar opposites.
Because you wouldn’t date someone like you.
In your self-loathing, what feels like an indirect compliment, the first I can remember you giving me in 134 days.
And you admitted we were dating.
Which nearly made me blush.
Part 2 of 2. What was meant. Both parts might be less poetic and more journalistic, but I appreciate the outlet.

Polar opposites, polar opposites, polar opposites.
The words ricochet around in my head, repeating as I try to parse out their meaning.
Yes, different, our shared thread the secret sign language of the unhappy.
But there are other things for me.
Aren’t there for you?
I love your dumb differences, what you are.
And me? Is what I am not enough when it’s so contrary?
Should we die then?
Accept defeat as inevitable when we are impossible?
Do we attract, volatile and painful and strong while we last?
I have always known this would end badly for me.
You are worth the risk, worth the pain.
I knew this too, instantly.
Didn’t you?
Part 1 of 2. What I assumed.

I am small
But I'm eons away
From being insignificant
And trivial
I am tiny
But my mind possesses
Fathomless proportions
Indisputably
I am willowy
But my bones are ripe
With a strength
of the oldest living tree
My voice is faint
But I roar like a lion
With my actions
So think
Not only twice
But a million times
Before you decide
To sweep me off
Like an atom of dust perhaps
Beware
Of my imperceptible
Yet piercing brilliance

She lives in colors.
He lives in shades of grey.
She dances with others.
While he stays away.

She's an open book.
He's a locked tome.
She's always waiting for the next hook.
He keeps his chapters close to home.

She is passion and thrill.
He is patience and planning.
She is "let's go!", never sits still.
He is "it can wait.", for time is ever-spanning.

She is all ideas and dreams.
He is action and reality.
She believes nothing is as it seems.
He believes only what he can see.

Far apart yet close in heart.
Whole they stand together.
Half they fall apart.
Love draws a tether.

Always and forever-----

I don’t understand you
You’re not like me
I walk with caution
You’re flying free
I sit alone
You yell out loud
I hide away
You stand tall and proud
I thought you were shallow
That you lacked a heart
In one night, all those things
shot away like a dart
Then the very next day
I had to take it all back
You made the same mistake
Same foresight you lack
You’re contradictory
Just a flip of a page
From abrasive; young-minded
To older than age
I still don’t understand you
We’re not even close
But I hope someday I get you
When it matters the most.
Some things I just don’t understand...
Adrianna Roe Jul 2018
You see, we are so vastly different
You are the glorious butterfly
Already fluttering amongst your dreams

For you, the galaxy is the limit
And me, I'm still cocooned in my dark shell
Forever waiting to break free

Escape Death


Love, death, save yourself,
Sell your soul, burn your wealth.
Take it in, spit it out,
Inhale, exhale, scream and shout.


Live forever, **** yourself,
Take a trip, find someone else.
The person inside, you are trying to hide,
It bursts out your heart,
Like a shining light.


Freedom for sale, just inhale,
Make it through; prevail.
All I have is nothing at all,
Something corrupt, taught us to feel.
Taught us to hear, taught us to fear.


Death, death, death, I’m alive.
My head is full of suicide.
Nothing is all you are,
Hide away you shooting star.


Demon seeds grow in your mind,
Light is no more, my eyes are blind,
To all happiness, I do confess,
I love you, I love you, for it is you I do detest.


My last breath is wasted on you,
My face, my heart, you do not deserve.
****, ****, ****, your shame and pride,
All your feelings keep inside.
For they are yours and yours alone.
Burn away your mobile phone.


God is here, the devil sits at his side,
He made the devil to make you think he is nice
And pure and loving and good and forgiving;
But the truth is dead, God killed it with sin.
Heaven or Hell it’s all just a myth,
The truth is - death is the end of your existence.


Mother Nature hates human beings,
They hurt her, they don’t deserve her,
They broke her heart, so she has deserted us…
And taken our feelings.

This is a deadly game
This is a poisonous gamble
This is unwarranted passion
This is crazy obsession

And yet you choose me
Amidst all that chaos within me
That hurts you when it shows
Amidst all my flaws you love me

You are a bright flame
Warm and passionate
Fierce and boisterous
A raging beacon of beauty in the darkness

I am that darkness
Cold and unmoving
Dead and restrained
A chaotic enigma hidden in your shadows

I am around you
But I cannot touch you
And yet you shine for me
You choose to love me

No matter how much we try
No matter what we do
Light can never banish the darkness
And darkness can never touch the light

But here you are
Loving the darkness in me
Because you exist to need me
Because light must shine amidst the dark
And darkness must help the light shine

An odd combination
The two of us
And yet you're in love with me
And I with you
They may say its wrong
But who the hell cares
Because I feel its right
Even if we are never alike
Just blowing off some steam.
Finally, some vacation from school
What to do? What to do?

Thanks for reading!
