Second Choice

I'm the safety net.
I'm the fall back on,
Backup plan.

Temporary Goodbye

Temporary Goodbye

Poetry and music...
A window into someone else's soul.

I tried to be more open.
All I wanted was someone to understand,
But I always pushed people away.
So I tried to open up.

As a result I've only further broken my heart,
And now have reason to keep others out.

*It's been 13 days of this new year,
And all I want is to disappear.

Thanks to everyone who supported me on here... Going through a kind of tough time... Nobody knows the full story, but my parents aren't going to let me out of the house much or allow me to use my phone/laptop for things unrelated to school... So I guess this is goodbye for a while...

Testing the Ice

August

Testing the Ice

crack
falling*
The winter dries you out.
The winter ties you down.
It takes away your warmth.
It wants you to drown.
The frozen sheet above your head.
The way your fingers bled.
Your fingernails scratching the ice.
Worn to wounds, sinking like lead
A fatal breath, nothing now is dry
Widened fear fills your eye
The current gives one final tug
Your hair waves goodbye & then you die

Half the World

For the Sparrows

Half the World

I have become obsessed
with living in this world of dreams
don't ever let me leave
and keep me awake
this is where I am suppose to be
Dreams will die
if I keep falling asleep.

Here my heart beats.
Here I am truly alive.
I never want to leave.

Come walk with me.
It's a gift, you see.
A gift only some receive.

Half the world is awake.
Half the world is asleep.
