You're like a cold...

You keep popping up, everywhere;
your name flashes on my iPod screen,
your face on my Instagram feed
your Facebook account on the 'people you may know area'.

You
Keep
Showing
The

Will I ever become immune?

Mistakes, Mistakes.
y i k e s Mar 2014
soon enough,

you'll realize your mistake

but

there won't be any acceptance

because it's too late.

i no longer want your remorse

i could easily find it

at the dollar store

without a million other

****** knock-off food brands

which made me sick.

i don't need another stomach-ache

from a fake apology.
I would love to fix this up more, but I have no way of rewording or editing

so this will do, I guess

take me to a place
far, far away
where everyone is made
from the ideas in one's head

take me to a place
far, far away
where all the places come from
the worlds that live in one's head

take me to a place
far, far away
where all the conflicts end
the way that they're supposed to

take me to a place
far, far away
where in the end,
the good guys always win

take me to a place
far, far away
where i don't have to be living
to actually be alive.

Daily Occurrences Bite.
y i k e s Mar 2014
When did you become a daily part of my life?

I wish I could erase you.
Lock you in a box and disregard the key, toss it in the trash.
Avoid you on the street, like an ex partner or an old pal.
I wish I could throw away your body, lock it in a car and drive it off a ledge.

I wish you wouldn't be a daily occurrence anymore.
It's not fair to me.
Or anyone else that has to deal with you.

If only they made erasers big enough for you.
i sure do hate math class.

i have feelings
you have feelings

... we all have feelings!

some feelings stick
other feelings are magical
and some feelings even connect with other feelings

... how magical!

feelings are meant to be shared
like a gigantic 64 pack of crayola, the ones with the fancy sharpener

however, some feelings hurt
like a nail going through the layers of skin, causing blood to pour out

so always, be careful of your feelings
not everyone will share them, or want to be aware of them
feelings can cause misery, and joy

be careful with them!

I'm Free of You
y i k e s Mar 2014
one year ago, you left me

like a helpless child without a mother to raise it
a baby bird left in a nest
a motherless puppy, left to die.

dazed and confused, i learned to accept it

everything happens for a reason

and now, one year later, i am stronger
more willingly to accept
and free

thank you for freeing me of you and making me stronger

i'm more alive than ever.

Everything You Are.
y i k e s Mar 2014
you are the sun on a hot summer's day

you are the clouds on a cold, rainy day

you are the first flower that blooms upon spring's arrival

you are the first tear that falls when a young adult gets into their dream college

you are the smile that grows along a child's face when they meet their hero

you are the first hit song from a breakthrough band

you are the first line of an inspirational speech

you are the first 'A' on someone's straight A report card

you are the quality of sound that comes from a brand new pair of headphones

you are the first star to shine at night

you are the first letter written with a brand new inkwell pen

you are the cheers of a teenager, when they finally get their permit

you are the sound of laughter

you are the sound of happiness

you are the blush that grows along my cheek, when you make an appearance

you are everything well in the world

and you are my dream.

to become something great

deep down, i'll rot in a box
that holds the memories of what i once was;

a budding seed with so may chances at being successful

How Not to Write a Poem.

Welcome Home, Sis.
y i k e s Mar 2014
laughter echos through the air
smiles grow along their faces
their hearts filled with glee
and their blood rushing, just a bit faster

pacing and pacing, their feet pick up
laughing as their walking -no- more like rushing
to their destination

this new-found glee that is rushing through them is abnormal
usually dinner is just
a
bit
quiet

now it's filled with laughter and uplifting amounts of joy
the dogs bark a bit louder
the bird chirps more often
the cat's meow is more high-pitched
and the wind blows a bit weaker

however,
laughter  is not echoing throughout the air that surrounds me
smiles are not growing along my face
my heart is not filled with glee

and it's all because everyone is only happy
when
you're
around.

Everything is Real.
y i k e s Mar 2014
i can sit here write another poem about how i feel
or i can open my eyes and notice that the world is real

there are trees outside, blowing in the wind
and there's curves to trip over, and fall, hurting your shin

there's grass to watch slowly grow
and there's dirt to ***

there's people to meet
and new friends to greet

there's people to watch fall in love
and there's winter to greet, by buying a new pair of gloves

there's an actual world to live in
and there's prizes to win

there's new things to master
and there's smiles that come after

everything is out there is real.
and your wounds will heal

smiles will grow, where frowns once lived
once everything is no longer hid.

What a Chain of Events...

I'm caught in a trap
a spiderweb
in quicksand

I've find myself in a conundrum that i can't seem to escape
a quagmire
a vortex
an issue

And in the end,
regardless of what happens
I'll make the wrong decision

And I'll end up in an even larger pit of quick sand
an even worse vortex
which I won't be able to escape
what point am i even trying to make here

becoming less and less of myself
and more and more of what you would like

this is all

                                         of

your dumb jokes
your hair which is so odd, but fits you so well
your stubby fingers
your ***** sneakers
your raspy cough, caused by too much smoke in your lungs
your way of walking, which is leaning down towards the ground
your laugh, which cracks in and out
your weird way of making friends with everyone

your everything makes you absolutely perfect
and i'm almost sure that it makes me love you.

First off, we need to become friends and date first but..

Hold hands in public and pow through the hallways
Meet each other at our lockers after class
Walk to school together in the chilly mornings, sharing coffee
Make out to Arctic Monkeys
Make out to Cold War Kids
Make out to Gorillaz
Make out to Arctic Monkeys again
Make out to good music
Make out to bad music, why not?
Go to a concert together
Go to Warped Tour together and laugh at everyone
Go to one of those underground shows you talked about
Cuddle and watch old cartoons
Hang out in a park after dark
Get high
Get high and make out
Share a cigarette in the sunset
Draw weird things together
Take a walk on the beach during a chilly night
Go to one of the radio's block parties together
Get front row at a concert and hear complaints about how tall you are
See Gorillaz when they come back (if they do)
Take a bubble bath together
Tell stories about all the trouble we(lets be real, you) have gotten into
Have dinner with your parent(s) and my parents
Swing on the swings at night
Hang out with my friends some day
Hang out with your friends some day
Combine our friend groups!
Talk about books
Spend a day in bed and cuddle together
Cuddle while we're high
Fall asleep together
Wake up in each other's arms
Get McDonalds at 3am one day
Hang out with my best friend's family
Annoy my best friend's little sister
Annoy your friends
Annoy my friends
Annoy your brother
Annoy my sister
Annoy the teacher together in class
Hell, annoy everyone!
Pick me up so I feel tall
Hug a whole lot
Make out some more
Cuddle a lot more
Create things together
Write a book of ideas you come up with you're intoxicated
Hang out with my sister and her boyfriend
Get high and talk about the future
Fall in love
Spend infinity and some more together
Get cute coffins so we can cuddle together in the dead
heh-heh

My name is Amber
and my mind is like a hamper

a storage unit of far holding a ton of information.
processing the temptation

everything is overflowing
but it doesn't hold enough knowing

of what to do with every emotion
or how to deal with anything in motion

instead of holding it all in, like a caterpillar in a cocoon

my mind is a hamper
that ends up leaving me even damper

than the night before
this is all such a bore

because it's always
the
same
god

ending.

'yo be my partner'

you extended your partnership
i accepted it gracefully

we slammed the competition
tossed the shuttlecock back-and-forth, back-and-forth

everyone was in shock
oh how that tiny shuttlecock soared

okay, let's be a little realistic...

0-3* was our score
we lost in pride
and in demise  

at least i could dream we were kind of good
i accidentally touched his hand :)

Just before the amusement park ends, I want to take one last ride.
The longest day of them all is about to come to an end, so this ride will be the best.

Stepping up onto the beginning, size doesn't matter for this one; the stepping stool makes us all tall enough
The hardest part of anything is probably ensuring that everything in place and ready to go

then...

BOOM!

We're off!

With this ride, all or nothing.
Either it happens or it doesn't.

Everything is so sudden, the ride is beginning to take it's toll.
Dangling, everything is below.

Is this really it?
It's like a blast from the past, everything is rushing back.

Do you remember how happy your mom was when you got all A's on that report card?
Or how happy your dad was when you got into that special high school?
Or how you made that whole class laugh with one joke.
Or how you made that guy laugh with that same horrible joke.
Or how happy your sister was when she got into college?
Ya'know, life isn't all about you.
What about your cat? Where's he going to sleep now? In your empty bed? You're selfish, he's going to get cold!
What about your best friend? Who are they going to text all night now? A phone that won't answer?

The ride is getting closer to the end, it's getting tougher to process even

the
           tiniest
                         thought.

Closer.

You're
              closer
                       toward
                                        the
                                                  ending
                                                                ­ now.

blink
blink
blink


that's it.

                                                      You're­ done.

It's over.

A Letter To The Living
y i k e s Mar 2014
here's a letter so i can ensure this is not your fault
and never will
don't you dare think that
you're one of a kind

don't be alarmed
when i'm gone
it's not your fault
you tried your best
i tried too little

you were good to me
i was bad to you
i was bad to everyone
i deserve my fate

i'm sorry i broke my promise
please don't hate me
don't shed a tear for me either
i'm not worth your golden output

remember that i love you
and i love the memories we shared
and the jokes we made
the worlds we created
and the worlds that never got to be visited

please still live on the memories i destroyed
they're meant to be shared
not just for us, but for the world we would have changed
the world that is in your hands
and is left for you to take on

you're strong and are able to do this
without me
without any burdens
because you're strong, brave, and powerful
everything i am not
and can never be

i love you
regardless of where my body lays
