Lyn - Hello Poetry

My father told me I have sad eyes.

So my hair fell out, and my skin peeled away.
My bones dissolved into dust, and eaten by the wind.
My muscles were peeled apart, fiber by fiber.
The sun melted my brain and stole my blood.

Then all of me only existed in those sad, sad eyes.

North and South

I love when you talk to me,
but I hate when you ignore me.
I love when you make me laugh,
but I hate when you make me cry.
I love the feeling I get when you're around,
but I hate that you don't feel it too.
I love how my heart fills when I'm near you,
but I hate how it breaks when I'm not.
I love how your laughter gives me confidence,
but I hate how your silence breaks me.
It seems that I truly love to hate you.
But god do I hate loving you.

If Only

I'd lose everything
To have you

The Kite

I fly through the wind,
Pushed and pulled in every direction.
I start to get comfortable going one way,
Only to be spun around in the opposite one.
I spin in circles, desperately lost.
The wind carries me higher, higher,
Until I can't see the ground.
I dangle my hand,
Wishing someone would grab me,
Pull me to the ground,
Save me.
Instead, I spin, and spin, and spin,
As this symphony of wind screams in my ears.

I heard a song say 'kite' and my mind started twirling. :-P

Rain

Today, the rain shall wash
That of yesterday.
It falls from the sky,
Soaking the grass and the streets.
It catches on the grass,
Dripping off one drop at a time.
The animals hide,
And the humans do too.
After all, who really wants to get wet?

Invisible

Here I am. This is me.
I’m smart, but I’m not the smartest.
I can sing, but I can’t sing the best.
I’m pretty but not the prettiest.
I cheer loud, but not the loudest.
I’m there, but nobody remembers me.
I can play, but not the best.
I’m funny, but not the funniest.
I get good grades, but I’m number two.
I like boys, but they like my friends.
I’m popular, but not the most popular.
I can run, but not the fastest.
I can scream, but not the loudest.
I can smile, but not the brightest.
I can cry, and I cry the hardest.
