Hey, that's not good enough
Is anything ever good enough
For you?
Well I'm determined to stay tough
Anything I have with you is brutal
Why must you be brutal?
I'm never good enough
You throw people away if they happen to be the opposite of useful
Everyone has a heart
Do you have a heart?
Yours only beats
Oh where to start...
You said you would still love
Why do you pretend to love?
Pretending isn't what a heart does
I am the bothered, dead, dove
You have broken my innocent wings
Why do you inflict pain on my wings?
Then you cut me off with something hurtful
Let me show you what my misspent time with you brings
Then you bring me down
Why do you like to bring me down
Big bully?
You like to stand behind me when I'm in a hospital gown
Your creep is showing
Why do you let it show?
It's wrong
You'll never know
Hey, you have to be more helpful than that
Than that?
Than what?
Well maybe you've gotten too lazy and fat!
"You can contribute here you know"
Do you think that I don't know?
I am only giving you what you deserve
You always have been my foe
Thank goodness I was here because you wouldn't have answered
How do you know that I wouldn't have answered?
You don't know the future, stop assuming
I will never stop dancing because I am a dancer
Hey you, I never see you anymore
How come you don't see me anymore?
Huh. I couldn't imagine why
I'm glad I have finally closed that door
I'm glad I have finally managed to get your foot out of the door
I need to get some locks for the door
A chair just isn't good enough for me
Because you are a persistent, controlling Leo
You make me feel bad about stuff
Not just any ol' stuff
You make me feel handcuffed to a wall
That you come back to just to demean me
Would you be brave enough to do that?
Holding in your words, never would you think about that
I would do whatever I needed to do if I had to
Because I understand the meaning of the words, ya gotta do what ya gotta do
Why are you whispering behind my back?
Intelligence is what you lack
Are you too scared of me?
Baby?
Why are you doing this to me?
Why can’t you just let me be?
Where did you go?
You should know
Our friendship was growing strong
What you are doing is wrong
No one gives a shit
Go die in a pit
What happened to you?
You are now making me extremely blue
What did I do to you?
To make you go
So now you have made me go this low
I hope you’re happy now
Your ego is getting to be as fat as a cow
You should be nice to others as your way to the top because they are the ones you’ll see on your way down
I hope you bought a nice gown
You're the one who's going to need it most
At least I don’t boast
Unlike you
I'm going to start new
Without you
I feel the warmth
Of the light at the end of the tunnel
I think this is the last
Of the darkness
Well at least for a while
So here's to a new start
Here's to a change
That will make my future self scream,
Plot twist!
Plot twist!
One so well written by the insanity of reality
That it catches god by surprise
A castle of freshly grown hope
A castle that I built out of the crap in my life
A new life of being alone
I must learn to stretch my wings once in a while
I must learn to stop
Beating myself up
I think
That i should be brave enough
To be me
Which is a simple task for some
I think that this is the last
Of the darkness for now
Have I fallen out of love?
I hope not
Love is what I for so long have sought
Have we gotten out of the honey moon part of a relationship?
Maybe I should have stayed in doors with penny, used napkin and chip Or is it my depression and you trying to get over Alex?
I'm not giving up on our love yet
Will Wednesday solve our problems, when we have set?
What you don't know and might not understand is that it is normal for me to disappear
I will always come back, never fear Hopefully you'll be there
My heart beats like a drum
Sometimes I go numb
I wish that you could understand more
I don't complain to you because I don't want to be a bore When I become numb
Your love will be the first thing I'll feel
For now I must deal
I refuse to let you go
I love you, I want you to know No I'm not just saying that
Let's not forget that us and our double dates are a band
Let's not forget what it feels like to be poor but own all of earth's land
With my music
I won't totally lose it.
What happened to us?
What's with all the fuss?
How do you not know why you texted her?
My friend said that it wouldn’t be a good idea to get back with you; I concur
I'm afraid to call you an oaf
Since you still have my loaf
I don’t want to call you a nitwit
Even if that word perfectly fits
I don’t want to call you what you still are
To me what you are seems so far
I don’t want to say
You never really loved me all those days
We had, I had plenty of good thoughts
For you, I unfortunately had the wrong timed hots
No matter how badly you want to get back with me
Well now you'll get to feel how I did when I disagreed
It wasn’t a smart thing to do
This love was true
You literally ruined it for your good
You loved her, I understood
Now without you distracting me
I can get a good degree
You now are going to end up all alone
Even if you try to phone
I'm not going back to my heartbreaker
You were my heart taker
You better never say that I never loved
Last time I believed you when you sent your doves
This break up doesn’t really hurt
It will though, just wait for her dirt!
Steady beat of the drum
Just the turn of the thumb
But I don't have the nerve
So I kick it to the curb
She doesn't seem to have a heart
Even if it hit her in between the eyes she wouldn't know art
Don't show
How in my world the cold wind blows
I tried to see it within her
But it's all a blur
You can tell that she doesn't root for the underdog
Even though she is older than I, she doesn't know how to see through the fog
I thought that you were one of the good guys
I now know the truth and the seemingly harmless lies
There's nothing you can do
I already wrote a poem about that too
I don't want her to see
The inside of me
The things about me that she doesn't get
Outside of her net
For not doing it, she thinks I'm crazy
She thinks that I'm just being lazy
She probably thinks that I'm dumber than dirt
But I'm just a bit broken and hurt
I got a second chance
Away that idea went as I danced
I've learned too late
But that's just my damn fate
So, I would prefer
If you please don't show my writing to her
Sometimes, if I like you
I'll let you mold a part of me or, thin out my walls
Sometimes, I feel young, energetic and naïve
But sometimes the weather forecast, forecasts colder weather
And I start to feel a little lethargic,
A little tired,
Maybe a little cracked
And trapped in this mold
Sometimes I grow harder, colder and more fragile
And sometimes my eyes seem to have a glazed coating
Because there are some tools out there
However tools don't get under my skin
If anything they get under my nails
I've got ribs and knives
So don't mess with me
Sometimes I'm as closed off as a clam,
With a secret,
Hidden pearl
Obviously I'm pretty imperfect
And I've become tired of finding a reason for
Being bent out of shape and having sharp edges
Edgy is my style
Because this is art
And anything ugly should not be held against the piece
And sometimes I have to let it go
Or just let it slip
Out of the grogginess of my tired head
Even if it leaves a shattered mess on the floor
Destruction is an art too
Like how angry painters have been known to throw paint at canvases
Fire me up
And I hope I won’t explode
With the unspoken air in my lungs
I want to stay
Cradled in between
Sweetly smooth melodies
Where I let my fingers go wandering freely
Humming the notes
That I did not take during calculus class
The reason was that I was busy dreaming of an impossible life
That’s what happens to me
When I feel stuck in between the bars without a single key
My signature move of not paying attention,
To the epsilon-delta definition of a limit
And honestly, I might have just found my mathematical limit of brain power
The tone of my voice has gotten beaten down
I cannot learn at this fast tempo
For the next bunch of weeks, I'm stuck with the strings attached
I try to simply count it out but it doesn’t add up
I don’t know how to measure
The slope of my own tangents
I put my signature on a piece of paper that says
This summer class requires a ton of deadication or it could easily result in failure
And now I feel
The sharp pain
That makes me fall flat
On my back
I can feel the anxious vibrato
Building up in my hands
Maybe I need a rest
This cannot be natural
Menacing eyes
Illuminated with anger
Glaring into the mirror
I dare not do what they want
For I would be breaking the law
Evil eyes pushing me onward
Giving me no mercy
They are the lit flame underneath my anxiety
Glowing just so they know that I can see them
They make me say I'm sorry repeatedly to them
As if I don’t have a right to be there
I must look forward
There isn’t anything I can do about those eyes
That tell me to do things
I don’t want to do
I no longer want to go down this soulless road
With machines that don’t have empathy
Sometimes I get lucky though
And one of the eyes starts to wink at me
Then they disappear as they take a turn
The one question I must ask is,
Why so much anger,
Towards a stranger who is trying to stay away from danger?
Oil
Tin can
Marble shaking around
“Oil can” says the tin man of a car
At least I know that there is a true heart inside
Along with a great dancer
But this oil...
Is making the somewhat broken ice more slippery
And harder to break
Even though you are a human teddy bear
That wears the same grey sweatshirt a lot,
Same though
You don't know, but you are
The tamer of my wild anxiety
We are literally driving in a shaking car with no right turn signal
And I find
That I'm comfortable with that
And I hope this ride doesn't end soon
In galaxies of snow
You were blinded
You said I opened your eyes
But you are still near and far sided
You were lost in your own galaxy,
In fact you still are
And you have to rescue yourself,
From the fact that I live with part of a star
The sky with a blue tint
And the bright grey,
Did they not give you a hint,
That I need physical space on some days?
You are all touchy-feely
I’d prefer just being and you just being
You are all lovey-dovey
That you're just not seeing
I know that everyone shows love differently
You need to focus on yourself more,
Rather than focusing on what my lips feel like
I'm starting for the door
You seem to like the idea of this broken relationship
But it’s taken its toll,
With you, literally being attached at the hip
You need to get over yourself
In the way that you need to know every conversation
That has the slightest relation to me and you
But you think you need to know
Even if you already knew
Similarly to the whispers of your parents you don’t need to know about
The whispers of what they personally believe
And if they are wrong, you will try to correct them like a toddler while you pout
In galaxies of snow, you are unrightfully playing a selfish god as a child
You do that by saying, “You should totally let me hold your hand”
And you thought it was funny
But you can’t make me land,
And I'm so sorry that you cannot fly without money!
Hello over there! I love writing poetry. I have a dream of becoming a writer! I hope that my poetry makes you feel like you're not in this world all alone.
