Take the form of flowers,
Till the day it fades
Take the form of leaves,
Till the day it turns yellow
Take the form of roots thereafter
Till the day deacay hits !
You are more than you see
A child stares at the movie screen
Strutting with the confidence of a cowboy
Imagining the characters that pops off the watercolor pages
As they jump up and down in their onesie
Holding tight to their plushy sidekick
That seems to whisper an end to moon landings
With every inch taller
You gaze at your potential like it sits on Everest's summit
So discouragingly out of reach
Your disappointment juts into your dreams
And makes you feel like the pinnacle of your being
Will only amount to a mound of dirt
But that isn't true
Every time you stand with the legs
That hold a rallying cry in its gait
Of the kind of independence
penned by our founding fathers
as an unalienable right
You gain footing
Up the rock face
That stuck its rocky tongue out at you
From the jester's thrown below
But you are far from a joke
A riddle maybe
The kind that a sphinx would lovingly smirk at
Its tail thumping with an instinctive eye roll
Mixed with the gaze of Eskimo kisses
Your hand holds lie
In the reach
That pulls you closer to the jewels
That dot the edges of your resolves
A bell ringing in the background
You're an angel who deserves their wings
And flying is falling
The first time a bird leaves the nest

"Would you stop hurting yourself?"

That was me before

But now I'm changed


I quit trying to be nice
I quit stop hurting myself
I quit holding my anger
I quit hiding myself
I quit everything I've been holding.

Pretend like nothing will happen

Slit a scar through my throat

Bang my head to a wall

Knowing it will hurt.

I'm tired of holding it.

The same nightmare repeating itself again and again.
Me being ignored over and over.

Let's jump into a horror of flames
Let us cut our hands of and drink the blood
Let me say hello to a group of murderers.

knowing it will hurt

No one can stop me now!
You can't do it!
I'll go wild!
See me!

Watch me you foolish small girl
See what you did to me
Small ignorant girl

See?





*Look at what you did to me now
see it with your own eyes i have gone wild and mad like a released dog

Why does quitting have negative connotation
I am drowning mentally
Yes, other people have been in my spot
Yes, others have surpassed my position
I want to quit not because I can't do it
But because if I do
I'll loose myself for nothing
No one will be satisfied
Including myself
I am only 19
And I pray for my death at least 5x a day
Just so I wont be classified as a quitter

Let,
The smoke go to your brain,
Even though,
We're told,
It only fills our lungs,
Cuz you just wanted fun,
For a night,

And now,
Your obsession growls,

While you try,
Not to let,
It,
Engulf you.

It feels like suicide

i'm with you


and that's

ok.

If you really
Want me
In your life,
Put me there.
I shouldn't be
Fighting for a*  spot.

It means that
Maybe
*You don't need me.
I don't want to quit expressing. No matter how bad I am... Hope it's a good decision.

Gone.
For the moment I was gone.
But the colors would not let me fade away.
No matter how hard I tried I could not dream in black and white.

Forgotten..
I tried to make myself forget..
But the voices would always remind me..
They spoke during beautiful moments of music and ambient thought.

My shadows..
My shadows would continue to write even when I was gone..
They wrote on the darkness of my soul leaving behind words of light..
They answered for me even when I was gone..

I saw my hands begin to glow when I read that my Lightcycles were still filling up with souls.  Even when I was gone my shadow and Miss B saw this through.  My shadow was out building Lightcycles taking new and old souls across the cosmos.. To meet up with Destiny!  I will soon catch up to my shadow and become one once again.. Storm blue horizons, lightning rider, thunderchase dreams Ill see you soon! The green rider will give me a ride.. (S.F.C)

I open my eyes to see my dying dragon.. Dragon eyes welcome me back..  She stands up once again and spreads her silver wings.. With a mighty roar she lifts her body up into the black cloud sky.. Her wings create thunder.. She roars to the cosmos! Im sure you heard her BigM!

On this night a knight picked me up.. Told me to keep going.. to keep fighting..  I thank this knightnight..

And to the LovelyLo! Ill come back strong for you..  You are my poetry
Old poem for memory

The only time you realize you're addicted to something is when you try to quit it.

tell me why
          you wouldn't look me in the eyes
tell me why
          he denied he grabbed me in between my thighs
tell me why
          you wouldn't bother to TRY to tell me that

I COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR IT AT 12 YEARS OLD.

this is the fear that paralyzes me daily.
this is the fear I have fought to take away.
a fear you will NEVER understand.

and that is why I say: PLEASE do not minimize my pain because
you
have
the
privILEGE
      


                   of not experiencing molestation yourself.
it's not just **** that people are trying to minimalize. don't try to tell others that their pain isn't valid when you don't see or feel it yourself. consider it a gift that you don't know of our pain.
