I've been tearing around in my ******* nightgown
24/7 Sylvia Plath
Writing in blood on the walls
'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad
Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not
But at best, I can say I'm not sad
'Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have...
not a poem, just lyrics that i cry to every day:)))

dont make that mistake
avery Nov 2018
we mistake a small cold
for a chronic illness leading to death
we mistake a bad grade
for failed success that leads to a job at McDonald's
we mistake a bad haircut
for a complete unattractiveness that leads to being alone
we mistake an awkward look
for a social downfall in today's botched society
we mistake a bad day, a horrible week, an ugly year
for a permanent lifestyle leading to suicide
the sun will come up
don't end the day before it has finished

THE AIR

IF NOTHING ELSE I LOVE
..THE AIR

and maybe you:)
Extension of my last poem

When I fell in love

I want to know why
I began to cry at the sound of your voice
Why you crossed my mind twice as much
Why I began to fall

The air
avery Sep 2019
When I describe the air in the current season I never have the words to Articulate This feeling
Fall
Autumn
Harvest
All hallows
A Season To Be Thankful
The corn
ready to be cut
Or perhaps molded into a maze for the little ones
Pumpkins
Full of spice and flavor for you to smell
Or maybe just to be severed for your porch
The air
Is crisp, refreshing
When you say “it’s nice outside,” this is to what you refer
Is nippy, full
On the edge of Sweaters
     On days I have time I like to lay in the center of the field after practice and breathe
      The air restores my soul, my hope
If nothing else, I love
The air

He’s kinda weird
The way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not looking
Do you think he notices
When I do it too?
I kinda like his hair
The way it curls makes me wanna run my hand through it
it’s kinda strange
Why these feelings never came up before?
I wonder

i like people.
avery Oct 2019
I hate crush culture
I’m in love with a gay guy
And a straight girl
I’m in love with people who will never be with me
Because of a dumb thing like sexuality
I’ve tried to define my self but the closest I’ve gotten is that
i like people... just people.

being cool again
avery Feb 2022
Acceptance is cool
Trying is cool
Colorful things are cool
Researching the things you like are cool
Eating healthy is cool
Doing things with your friends is cool
drugs, in order to expand your mind and grow internally, are cool
Working out and exercising all the time to make yourself healthier and more attractive is cool
Keeping your room clean is cool
Brushing your teeth every day is cool
Writing everything down because documentation is the only thing that helps you to remember who you are is very cool
Creating fantastic works of art and functionality are so very cool
Drinking 8 cups of water (8oz) every day is cool
Being nice and helping your family is cool
Loving being outside and active is cool
Actively fighting the feeling of heaviness and darkness that keeps you stagnant in life is cool
being content is cool
Being cool is the only way to survive while enjoying the whole thing

Sometimes it’s because I have no food
No money to go buy it
No means of transport
Sometimes it’s because I have no time to eat
High school takes up 13 hours of my day not including homework
No time
No time
No time
I’ll just sleep it off
It’s for the best
sometimes I’m just not hungry

Fly
A Fly
that's what you are
pesky little irritating low-life
if you were a fly
you would die
in less than a day
less than 24 hours I would be rid of you
with your disease, you spread pain and suffering
that kills
you have infected me
and I have a Fly Swatter
so rid me of your presence
before I rid myself
of you

it's happening again...
avery Oct 2018
my inspiration has fled me
as my innocence has left me
and my friends have foresaken me
I wish I could
find the words to express
why people choose to depress
and why I cast not to address
The feelings inside me
that tear me apart
rip holes in my heart
and retain my ability to start
writing again
the demons are back
they provoke my stability to crack
why cant I get back on the track?
feeling abandoned and left behind

smoke.
avery Apr 2020
i think of home whenever
i smell my shampoo
i soak in the sun
i see smoke
i am home

i don’t know what home is
home is familiarity
home is blanketed
home is safe
home is you

i feel as if
home is barefoot
home is short hair
home is bonfires
home is young
home is crushing
home is christian
home is swimming
home is family
home is smores
home is the nature club
home is loving to read
home is learning to ride a rip stick
home is painting with my neighbor
home is reading to laynie
home is warm
home is easter with everyone
home is memaw
home is october
home is cozy
home is Sebastian the cat
home is joy the cat
home is pe uniforms
home is 7th grade
home is running
home is coach lang
home is pickles for my history teacher
home is the river frio
home is camping
home is laughing
home is smiles
home is hide and go seek
home is confidence
home is childish blind love
home is not caring

home is home
home isn’t going anywhere
i would never return
home is smoke and smoke and mirrors

on the bright side
avery Mar 2022
Looking up
staring down
Heavy hearts only weigh what you feel like
The glass is only half-empty if it was full before
Loss is only a loss if you feel worse
The best thing to say is “at least”
“Well now I get to”
“It’s fine because”
Don’t worry about it
Unnecessary sadness
Think up
Not down

I picked up the key
I looked at the pencil
I glanced at the razor
I stepped on the glass
                                     And
                                               I
                                                           RESISTED
I Said No



and I lived
avery Jul 2019
Your eyes, prettier than you say I am
You got your nose pierced and it’s making you harder to resist
Your smile, brighter than our futures combined
But hey! I never would’ve met you if not for our minimum wage jobs
Your rep, worse than the instability you give me
People tell me no, that you just want me for reasons I want people to want me for
But hey
You’re cute and looking at you can’t hurt, can it?

Sterilized my ignorance

Feels the same
Imagine a space where it feels better
Be there
Be better

Stopping your car in the middle of the road
Jokes that people laugh at but hate (puns/offensive jokes)
Drugs (but not alcohol)
Wrestling with animals
Eat the entire pizza in one sitting. Alone
Arguing in public
Respect (apparently)
Making your mom jokes to people with dead moms
Being louder than your dad
Existing completely out of spite (as a result of your mom)
Living with your best friend
Ordering an entire pizza and instead of eating it you just lick off the toppings
Jokes about suicide

Expansion, sudden
New love, new
Take that -nothing matters-I rule the world- I hate everyone-

Grow, learn, say everything

As my playlist plays
The tears roll down
Picture this.
It’s dark
The bass shakes the salt from your tears
His voice calls the water from your eyes
My shirt
Soaked
You’re rolling in the feels
And he isn’t stopping you
I float
And shake
His voice pierced the waves


I’m trying to convey how this song makes me feel and how you and this song give me this same feeling but I just can’t use words to describe this, seasonal sunflower feeling.

when the stars collide
avery Feb 2018
when the stars collide,
maybe you'll mind your own buissness,
maybe you'll see that I don't want you intruding on my life
how I don't care if you feel as though we have fallen out
you care for me the wrong way
the way that I think is too much
mind your own business
stop creeeping into my life
stop socializing with my friends
just stop
                                                       At the same time though
                                                I miss how you hold me
                                        I miss how you touch me
                                  I miss how you look into my eyes
                         and say
                "It'll all be alright"
So maybe I don't want you to stop
maybe I just want a different love
one that isn't so tough
one that I can depend on
one that shouldn't depend on me so much


                        I Wish You'd Love Me From Farther Away

I bought a new dress and it makes me look like a lost sock
it fits me well and makes me feel grown, the kind of beautiful you find in a fish with funky spots
descriptively the lost sock has the kind of pattern to make you want to take markers and draw on the wall.
the one you go crazy and see women inside of it
gilman could get lost in my dress
makes me want to hold a microphone and unplug it, so that i can let the voice in my head talk over the others.
