just a b-day
Jade Quirk Mar 2020
When it's my birthday

People will ask my age

They'll say,

"You're not actual 18

Until this 7:12pm today"

And I will politely 

Tell them to go away.
It's my birthday? I am 18, and the panic is low at ride. I am 18! I am 18? I know turning a age doesn't change anything in me, just other people perceptions.


Gosh

I am 18?

Who decided that was a good idea?

Alone after shift
Jade Quirk Jun 2019
I feel the gloom come to me when I was alone in the parking lot.
It told me  that I didn't want to be. I knew that if I sat long enough I wouldn't know the difference between It and me.
Today was a good enough day.
Why can't I ever be good enough?
Sometimes I think too much

COLLECTING TEETH
Jade Quirk May 2019
I was a curious child, as all children should be.

My parents let me keep my dislodged teeth.

I started collecting,

I wanted to have a full smile.

Not only that,

But I had red clay that I made heads with;

How cool, would that be,

If I could make one with a smile?

Needless to say, I didn’t have many friends.

What I had were smiling heads.
True story. I don't think I was a lonely child, just an alone child in her world.

UNKNOWN

I believe I'm prone
to fear my unknown.

COMFORTER
Jade Quirk Nov 2018
COMFORTER

She looking through
Fate and you
Arms around her
It’s a blur,
in Fear's hello
She feels so
So so so so
S o s
Alone. Alone.

GLOWING THOUGH
Jade Quirk Nov 2018
“Jade, I am not crying”
“Never, your eyes are just running
...
You’re glowing though.”
“You’re glowing too. You know”
There are some people who's very continence glow.
These was a very precious  moment I had with friend

BRAIN'S MISTAKE
Jade Quirk Oct 2018
BRAIN’S MISTAKE

I could just be a brain
It should feel the same.
Made singles coming in
To my brain in a water bin

But if this is all fake
Imagining you- best mistake
But I don't think I can take the credit of making you

Hello again. How are you, Time?
Can you please stop stealing
Memories that are mine.

Pandora's Box
Jade Quirk Oct 2018
We're staring at the depths:
for there is a hanging rope,
Placed in the music box.
Still, friend, there is also hope.

2AM( THE SECOND DRAFT)
Jade Quirk Oct 2018
It’s still 2am!
2 AM stuck in the same zone again
I’m in a room full of louding echos
Thoughts I simply can’t let go
I’m quite sure the world is upside down
And some people’s smiles are starting to frown.
As I lay awaking with an open head,
I’m letting moments spill over the bed
Flooding the floor.
As more memories pore
And I am alone no more.
Time pulls me back and I sink
Tumbling off realities brink.
When times rewinds it’s awing sight
One is quietly assuring, “It will be alright,
we’ll be alright.”
Wow it’s 2 am.
Then I want to sleep ;)

Late, late night in bed it is hard to feel okay. When the thoughts can drown you.when I just want to go to sleep. But sometimes hope assures me just to go to sleep.

— The End —
