what was the weather like when you were born?
your smile displays sunshine, but your eyes
betray clouds, and i know
that day could have foretold the way
the sun shines through the frozen clouds
every time you smile at me
and i guess i'm just hoping
that the sun broke through the sky in the same way
when you arrived in this world
because that would mean we're more
than just temporary weather
random thought, don't know why but weather seems to be a theme recently

Red splatters all around,
Once-white canvas cold on the ground.

Creation of sweat and blood
In an emotion-bound rage.

Not a work of art by any means, but a heinous crime.
It was an accident...

Letter to the Letter K:
To my favorite letter,

You are incredible. Present in the coarsest and most uncommon of words, you confound me. Your asymmetry is balanced by your astonishing performances. How I envy you, striking Letter K...

Letter to the Letter B:
To the letter that most irritates me,

You are infuriating. You are not soft enough to be considered delicate, yet not hard enough to be considered harsh. You include your self in words beautiful and bulky, bold and benign, never making up your mind. You are frustrating, Letter B...

I'll try to forgive you
but I can't pretend nothing happened.

You broke my heart.

That happened.

Granted, you let me down gracefully
but a pillow can't stop a bullet.
the words I would want to say to you (if I ever wanted to talk to you again) ((which I don't))
I check for hours to see if you responded.

I never knew
       this day would come
    as fast as it did.

                 I always thought
              that I would just
               stay young
                       forever.

Because
         honestly,

      being young
is the only
           thing I'm
      good at.
It's my birthday today c:
Today also marks ONE YEAR that I've joined this site and I would like to personally thank all of you for your support over this past year.
I would like to also give a huge amount of love to those of you that reach out to me on a regular basis, message me, or just make sure that I'm okay.
It means so much knowing that I have people looking out for me even when I least expect it.
You guys keep me leveled and strong, and I don't know where I'd be in my life today without THE COMMUNITY OF HELLO POETRY!<3
