Once in a blue moon
you'll see her smile with warmth
and eyes glowing with joy
cheeks red and warm
as serotonin rushes through my body

Once in a blue moon
she'll laugh here and there
dance like she's in a movie
and be so free and relaxed

Once in a blue moon
she'll crack a joke
talk like the radio
sleep so peacefully
and be with someone that makes her happy

But until then,
her face is locked
her face no longer glows with emotions
her cheeks no longer red
and her smile no longer warm

her dancing will stop
she will only walk
and sleep to pass through the hours
without doing anything
third-person, on how I've felt

The Great Barrier Reef
A beauty born out of rock and sand
Seldom touched by human hand
An image of beauty
Slowly demolished
By the unpolished

The Great Barrier Reef
An unexplained bleaching
Its beauty compelling,
Its color expelling.
It lays in pain,
Forever longing a voice.

The Great Barrier Reef
It burns with heat
A half now surrendered
To the changes from above
A feeling unknown
Whirlpools surging
Destroying all we’ve known.

The Great Barrier Reef
She’d given up
Hope.
The destruction will never stop,
Her perseverance now lost.
But maybe someday,
The world will once again live in peace.

i finally understood
the title of 'crush'
where you feel so high
your cheeks on fire
the curiosity
the determination
and then,
their 'crush'
wasnt you all along
and your heart
your head
your emotions
are shattered
everywhere
but
there's always more to come
dont let one
shatter you

as my emotions turn dark
a pain emerges
instead of crying
i feel a chain
a think silver chain
wrapping
locking
the chest
the heart
and everytime they hurt me
where i feel pain
a chain will lock up the emotions
yet... there are still gaps for droplets to fall
and slip
but there will be a time where i'll be locked
completely
closed,
****
emotions
this was ****

you think they've got your back
...broken..stabbed
****.
You think your parents are your back bone
...ah ****, here we go again
yelled at
my head pounding against my skull
feeling exactly how I feel
my heart locked up
trained to not feel
love
lust
or trust.
everyday thick chain wraps around my heart
making sure every emotion cannot slip
not a single tear can shed from the chain


our parents seem to build this image in their head
but in reality that image causes their children to fail

it's been days...
weeks...
months.
since I felt the salt on my skin
burning from the sun
making my skin golden
glowing, my cheeks blushing all day every day
my hair curly and salty

my feet kicking the blue sea
playing with the sand wet or dry
running with my dog
my golden legs moving

my hair seaweed as I float on the surface of the blue waters
swirling around, playing, dancing
the cold waters cooling my burnt golden skin
Hydrating

the waves making music
the fire crackling to keep me and my friends warm
as we listen to one play the guitar
as we gaze at the diamonds in the sky

Neptune sharing his beauty
making me and everything and one around me beautiful
