Emily Dickinson

1510

How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn’t care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears—
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity—

Dirt

Graduating college
Such a large accomplishment
That's what they all say
He has a job lined up
She's had an internship
Full of experience
I, on the other hand,
Am just me
What do I have
Other than my brain
Other than my grades
Sure, I've lived life
But while everybody seems to have a plan
And seems to be moving in the right direction
I keep moving further into the ground
Isolated and lost
Unable to move
Trapped under the dirt that is
My mind, my insecurities, my confusion

Received my graduation invitations today and it feels surreal. Scared for the future and the real world.

Kelly Brook Goes Fishing

Kelly Brook
Mistook
A book
For a hook.

Went fishing with
Alanis Morissette
And Anneka Rice.

Caught a complete set
Of Encyclopaedia Britannicas.
Popped it in the keep-net
And mused,

This really is a landmark
Of informational literature
But is rather wet
So not easily used.

I think I'll stick
To the Internet.

Jireh

Poetry and Fine Arts
have always been
her best friend.
Everyday, she'd write
a poem or two and,
draw the visions
inside her mind.

At home, she's being
beleaguered with hurtful words
and goes to school late.
She jokes around
her friends while
they continue their
unfinished plates.

She loved mysteries
so much that
she became one.
Living with scars
and fears that
fills her mind
is what she had done.

—*India

plates are artworks that are asked to do by professors in an art school.

I'm not an option.

I'm not an option
Or a second choice
I'm in your life or not
I don't want to be a hidden voice
My friendship was a gift
Not a game
From then, you'll meet fake friends
But i warned you, what a shame
They'll replace you
The second you put a foot wrong
You should've of stayed with me
You should've held on.

The Demons in the Dark

I lay in complete darkness
Waiting for the demons to get me.

"Come on darling."
I hear them say.
"Just close your eyes and let us in."

I just start crying because I know
I can't ever beat my demons.

They always win.
