Expectations on these special days Reality hitting hard Tears streaming down your face Why are you so scared? The dam of life overflowing Guilt Sadness And despair Never good enough to those around Always left with open stares Feeling anxiety building up Attention all around Birds flock above your head Buzzing fills your ears Imaginations taking over Reality barely there Accepting the position of the soggy bun Left In disgust And despair

Barely there
Yesterday was the christmas feast at school And I went with a lot of wishes And to open my heart to you. I went in my best attire To see you in your best To see your hair untied flying its softness in the x'mas air To watch your raised eyebrow questioning my shyness. A wish To be the first one to greet you as you come to school. To be the first one to see your smile. To be with you while hanging the balloons. To wipe the glitter off your nose. A wish to be with you when the cake has its first slice To splash the cake to your soft face past your lips when creaminess meets softness. A wish that you would do the same to feel the magnet of your hand on my desireful face To see your laughter coming out like crystals. A wish to be with you always and to melt in each moment. And I had gone with all these thoughts only to be confronted by the long distance between me and you And my heart and body sprang with high velocity to vanish that distance. And then my body halted but not my heart When I saw another pair of legs walking to you To see him feeling your hands To see him walking past you and To see you laughing and smiling to his words. And I was left alone on the ground With wishes scattered around me. Nothing but futile wishes..

Junk of wishes
I walk with a head full of clouds, a mouth full of wisdom Trudging in a sea of doubt flippantly filling in the void with words unspoken Teetering on the edge of what is "right" what is "wrong" Floating on the tempting water between what I am and what I "should be" What the letters upon the box should say, were they stuff me to forget me Their labels still sting the inside of my nose, the latex embedded in the skin from each ripping and re-sticking. I wear a face upon my skin her butterfly headdress bleeds the color of their contempt, the slick lines of abstract freedoms morph to become the fluttering of a thousand wings What I want most I have bled to show, how my mind works and sees has printed on the skin Put there to remind all I am more within.
