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

rolling down the hill
mixing blood and dirt

remembering once was
remembering what everything i thought, never was

rolling down the hill
mixing blood and dirt

kissing my knuckles
putting stickers on my wounds

rolling down the hill
mixing blood and dirt

saying goodbye on a stained paper
leaving it on the bedside, under a bottle of cough syrup
y i k e s May 2014
you're

a flower that just bloomed
so beautifully divine
and gracefully eloquent

the model of beauty and grace
and the paragon of righteousness

and i'm so lucky
to be raised by someone who knows
first hand about how unfair and unjust the world is
but still has positive hopes from everyone

happy mother's day, mother.

slow and steady, the drops fall
one by one, smashing on the pavements
puddles form, growing larger at the second

feet hitting the pavement, one by one
faster and faster, they pick up speed
splash!
they crash into the puddle, water flying everywhere

laughter, everyone is happy
another joke cracked, the laughter grows louder

clack!
the sky rumbles, furiously
the sky lights up, almost blinding the people around
gasps fly from the mouths, then more laughter
more puddles are disrupted
the rain falls harder, faster, more steady
the direction curves at a 45 degree angle, soaking everyone

but at the end of the day, not even the rain, or the thunder, or the lighting, or even the pending tornado watch looming in anyone's mind can ruin the joy flowing in everyone's veins

because for once, i am alive

and nothing can stop the blood pumping in and out my heart.
today was an amazing day.
i felt alive for once
joined by four other friends, i walked home in a storm which brought a tornado watch in the city.
the rain was harsh and we were all soaked, but we made it out alive.

"I'm just happy she didn't fall into that trap"*

Boy, my neck snapped from that trap long ago
But you don't focus on me unless you see what you want to

It's hard to think one idea changed my life.
An idea created by five people
changed my life

An idea that combined music and words
molded into one track
about four minutes long
made me feel comfort

A picture of four or five people
in an idiotic place
with an idiotic pose
made my heart race

The wording of one phrase made me want to tattoo it on myself
in the most craziest, oddest spot on my body
when I hate needles

Lyrics written by five men
made me feel comfortable.
At ease, confident, and happy
all at once

And once that idea ended, like all good things.
I felt empty and weird.
Because all those feelings were gone
or at least I assumed so.

But they're not, because things stay.
And I have all those feelings
stored in my mind
and my heart.

Because good ideas stay with you, even if you didn't create them.
And this idea, was a great one.

And even though, I never heard any of the noise and words
repeated, shout, and sung in person
I'm okay with that because it leaves hope.
And in a life with nothing to look forward to
you need hope.

And you know an idea is great
when it creates hope.

cozy and protective
arms of warmth
wrapped around a bundle of mess
about to self destruct

feelings of comfort and enjoy
wrapped inside a bundle of wonder and perfection

New
y i k e s Nov 2013
New
If I could, I'd run away.
Start a brand new life as a brand new person.
I'd create a fake identity, and start all over.
Get a job, a cat, and a fancy apartment
Live up in a skyscraper so I can be in the air everyday.
Cleanse my mind of all things from the former existence.
Meet new people, new friends.
Just have a whole new life.
Become a brand new person
And just start all over.
If I could.

This year, I plan to become a new me.
A happier me.
A more cheerful me.
A more pleasant me to be around.

Because old me was so last year.

All humans are born with a purpose

but what if i can''t find mine?

What would become of me, a human with no track?

Would I live out on the streets with the animals?

Would I become a successful doctor with the cure for cancer?

Would I become an actor, staring in the brand new bestselling book saga?

Would I just die, and live in the dirt with the worms?

Or would I stay here, writing a ******* poem about how much I ****?

Or maybe, just perhaps, I'd fade away and die.

Do you form your own opinions?
Are you your own person?

Or are you a robot?

Conditioned to believe the beliefs of your makers?

Do you always believe what you're told to believe?

Or are you your own person?
With your own opinions?
Inspired by John Stuart Mill's piece titled On Liberty

Often I grow attached to the wrong people

And it takes a couple of rudely worded phrases for me to realize that


Often I wonder how I will go on without speaking to them

And it takes a few months until I'm okay with being on the other side
Simply worded on purpose

And I loved you, oh so much

I was unsure what to do

But you didn't love me back

That was the only thing I was sure of.

One hundred poems, expressing how I feel
One hundred poems, pleading for attention
One hundred poems, allowing text to speak for me
One hundred poems, posted out of whim
One hundred poems, written out of spite

One hundred poems, just the start of one hundred more
this is my hundredth poem, gasp

and a dismal past behind

and it's quite certain that i'll be fine

You're leaving
And I know it's for the best
But I can't help but remember
The smile on your face
The squint of your eyes
And the feeling of your hands

I can't help but think
What if-
What if-

But in the end,
The what ifs have no purpose
Because you're leaving
And I don't think I'm coming back, either.
I wish you the best of luck

Let's run away
to a small city
full of grass
trees
leaves
and silence

Let's build a house
with as many rooms as we want
in any size
shape
and color
after all, it's ours

Let's dig a yard
large and wide
as green as grass gets
and plant flowers
any kinds, even weeds!
whatever you fancy, we can do it

Let's be free
just you and i
me and you
us
alone and happy
free of schoolwork
and people who cause you stress
or the girl that asks you to move your desk

Let's live happily ever after
alone
just you and i
me and you
together

i'm back at home
and you welcome me with open arms

"welcome home, we missed you!"

a warm embrace leads to a tender kiss
a night in bed, very well missed

a one day stay, leads to a week long stay
eventually, i pack my things, it's time to go

you stand in the doorway, holding the **** firmly

"you're not going anywhere, you BELONG here."

you're right, i do belong here.
i can't argue that.

i unpack my things, get cozy in bed.
you lay next to me, place your arm on my chest

everything wells up, the feelings set in
the familiar settings, the normal mindset.

darkness welcomes it's self around me
it's my second home, i can't argue.
I'm back, I missed you.

oh so addictive
you're driving me
                                over
                                           the
                                                    edge

i'm changing because of you
i can feel myself changing everyday
becoming less and less of myself
and more and more of what you would like

this is all
                    because
                                         of
                                                      you

i'm going to enter rehab
because enough is enough
i want to rid myself

Faces painted with colors that make girl's skin pop out.
Eyes large and done up with circles around them
Coverup hiding the blemishes that grew out of stress and fear
Legs shaved and exposed under the beautiful gowns

Smiles grow on their faces when they see their date; dashing in suits and winsome smiles.
Small flower pins added to their beautiful dresses

The night is ready.

Legs spin around and around as they twirl, smiles in motions and hearts race.
Sweat lingers down their faces as their laughs grow more.

The night is ablaze.
Everyone is smiling.

But only one question lingers,
*"May I have this dance?"
my junior prom is tomorrow, wow.
y i k e s Jun 2014
Rest your hands on my waist
        and I'll rest mine on your shoulders

Glide with me around the venue
          and tango with me across the dance floor

Buy nasty food with me
         and spill Shirley Temple on my pure white dress with me

Poss for professional photos with me
        and rest your chest against my back as I blush

Hold me close
         as I hold my breath
              hoping this moment-
                             this night-
                                     never ends.

A stadium filled with thousands of bodies

all pressed together

knowingly aware

but not caring about the abundance of sweat coating their bodies, which isn't their's

or the amount of limbs pressed against them, which isn't their's.

A stadium filled with thousands of people

chanting

screaming

the words which fuel them

give them life

and a purpose to keep going .

A stadium filled with thousands of people

all wearing the same shirt

which represents their love

for simple humans

just like them

which give their life

purpose.
not too great, but it's good enough for being half awake and excited because i finally get to see my favorite band today!!

you're a rainstorm
when everything is going wonderful
on a summers day
when skies are bright and the air is fair
you cause a draft and turn skies to gray
and downpour on everything with a vengeance

you ruin things
papers, hair, clothes, everything
just for your satisfaction

and just when everything thinks you're done
you come back another day
just to start again

Sometimes
when I sit back and listen to everyone talk
about their life experiences,
i realize how pathetic my life is.
I lack amazing stories,
interesting adventures,
frighting tales,
or anything worth sharing.
It's not good to wish,
but sometimes i wish something terrible would happen
just so i can be interesting.

through the rear view mirror
i see your smiling face
bright and beautiful

through the rear view mirror
i watch as you keep a close eye on the cars ahead
do you not trust me? am i not a good driver?

through the rear view mirror
i watch as your eyes grow hazy
full of fear
am i driving too fast?
i'll show you, i'm a great driver.

through the rear view mirror
i watch as you jolt forward,
jumping, trying to rip the stirring wheel out of my hands.
no, i have this.
why can't you trust me?
-------------------------------------------------------------­----------
through the rear view mirror
i see your lifeless body
now laying down

through the rear view mirror
i mumbled a, 'sorry'
i'm not a very good driver.

and you will wither away

Nothing like a good depressing poem to relate to

Nothing like a good love poem to  fill your heart with butterflies

Nothing like a good angry poem to make you think of that one guy

Nothing like an angry poet bashing all the above poems

Because poetry is everyone saying the same thing

Just in different lines
What makes me different?

Sadness should not be romanticized

sadness is evil.
sadness eats away at you until all that is left is a pile of bitter bones, frowning.
sadness swallows you whole, until youre deep into it's stomach, no hope to get out
sadness hollows you out until you become sadness. it strips you of your identity. it does not stop until you are only know as sad.

Sadness is not something to want.
Sad is not what you should aim to be.

Sadness should not be known as 'beautiful'.

I sing America from Frankford
      Commonly called 'home of the 'trem',
      where the buses fly down the street, almost crashing into feral children

Where the scent of not-so-soft delicious pretzels are ubiquitous as it
soars through the streets like an airplane

     Where the impudent teenagers scream at night
      sounding like an angry choir

Where elderly widows rise gardens out of damaged bushes and dead grass

        Tiny un-trimmed lawns are a can of tuna for stray cats

Where row homes cover tiny streets connect everyone
causing too much closeness

       Where gum coated pavements are welcome mats to the running feet
       running to catch their bus

Where cop cars fly down the streets, providing the next scene for the new Fast and Furious

      Where at night, the constant sirens echo in the night sky
       piercing through my ears

But in the end, I wouldn't want to be anywhere
but here.

I heard you talking

You said
you were over all the noise and she kept calling and texting
Those messages going unanswered

He laughed
Saying he understood and the same happened to him

I stayed put
Listening
And waiting
And waiting
For the perfect time to exit


Just like I am still
Waiting for an answer to my messages
You never like to reply

*the dialogue was truthful, but the actual conversation wasn't about myself
