"shotting" poems
i scroll through
the symptoms;
the signs once more
finally screen-shotting them
only so i do not have to keep
looking and re-looking
them up
i rummage through the very
personal box of writings
hidden under my bed
i find the paper
with the heading of:
How I See Me, How I Am
following the undepthed title
is a list of short, spiked written words,
words that, all though so very short, mean so much
and ache even worse
down to the bottom of the list my finger skims
my eyes scattered throughout the words
and my tears scarring the paper
finally at the the bottom
i grab the pen and finish the list
with one simple word
depressed
(a.b)

keep fighting youngster
your thought controls your mind
and you mind controls your body
so dont let your hope fall in the dumpster
i know who you are
and then again i dont
but i can tell without a doubt
that you wont fall from this earth, like a shotting star
your a fighter
you will make it through this
and when you do
your life will never shine brighter
please i expect good news
and when it comes
i want to know
let me know, these are your dues

I'm not what you want
But I'm exactly what you need!
Take a bite and feed
Your satisfaction guaranteed.
I'm your sunshine, woah
I'm gonna burn down your parade!
I'm the shotting star that you wish,
You wished you never made!

In thee it flies, down thee it sighs
There got thee back to the leap
of graceful nihilism we dwell upon
of forgottened veil unfolds in.
Confessed, the sin invites.
In me it strikes, down me it ties
Cuz’ ain’t you a stranger too?
Absurdity afloating back and forth,
Alienation flattering be and not
Nauseated, the chestnut tree sprouts.
In hell it inane, down hearth it ablaze
Until the sprakle’s all but gone
Not in the way off the grounded What
But on the sheer of That it is
Unhindered, the cradling halo fades.
In blue it prattles, down black it blusters
Can’t the passenger paint a red eye?
Sailboat shivering on the sea
Salvation shotting at the sky
Stumbled, the fallen angel flees.
From a whisper sinking so close away:
Here’s a flight doomed to fall
a leap led to lost
But I’ll show you how

Most of my life, is a blur
undeniable words that slur.
I have my share of secrets,
who knows if ill keep them.
I like to think of all the reasons
the reasons I dont fit
All the reasons I have to want an old life back
A life in a dream..
but i wake up and see it isnt what it seems
Reality is mean
I think of all the resons Im fine that Ive changed
Still changing.. not staying the same.
So out of place
id be a shotting star in outter space.
And here i am
not looking back
I dont what what I had
I have what ive got
and this is just me
moveing forward.
well see what we see.
