Streetlights changing
Shooting me into the past
Watching small raindrops collect
While I cannot collect my thoughts
Making it look like the glass is chipping
Until the windshield glasses over in a mosaic
Feeling the cold slipping in but I don’t mind
Feeling a shiver creep up my back
Reminding me of you
I take a breath
And I grab my bag and pretend that I'm putting on my armor
Suiting up
To go riding on a drunken horse, slipping on mud
While holding my breath underwater
And the English have longbows
It’s raining arrows that point me in the wrong direction
This is night
This is what I wanted
Now that I have it
I miss the struggle
Theater is life
Someone kept stealing my lines though…
Soooo…
How’s the weather?
Its ever changing, wasn't that clever? How was school?
Did anything interesting happen?
No answer, oh he was just napp’n
This isn't awkward, it’s just weird
I think this is what I feared I know that you have a crush
But I don’t know anyone
Can’t you just be gone?
I'm just scared
Because you care I like to be alone
I'm single
I don’t want a boy to break my heart like a pringle
I've been hurt so many times
You would know if you read all of my rhymes Can you take me?
Am I ready for a big jump?
Should I prepare for another painful heart thump?
I think that your crush is just lust
Right now your love I don’t really trust Hey.
Do you even know the difference between lust and love?
I want to try you on and see if you fit like a glove
Sometimes I do get lonely
Maybe all of you is just baloney I should get my head straightened out
Are you the one?
Should we become Suan?
I need to stop making jokes out of your name
For now I'm glad you came Do you really want this?
Do you want this terribly stubborn mess
Don’t expect anymore, or any less
If I could just make up my mind
Boy, you seem kind Thanks to Facebook
You said, “Hi”
What if you ever saw me cry?
Baby
Maybe someday you'll save me I still remember that time
When you were telling a mini story
In all your glory
When you pulled me off the couch, I was a sour lime
But you asked, “Babe can you please be mine?”
Little do you know
That I still think you’re really cool
More than the status quo
When we talk my words are like tiny dancers
Trying to be graceful
With one worded answers
Little do you know, I do care
I still love you like a messy two year old running around in a diaper
With tangled hair
Little do you know I seesaw us like sisters
And when you're not around
It’s like I'm getting blisters
In me the two year old
Still wants to sit on your lap and leave with a French braid
You still have me sold
Little do you know that even though I am no longer two
And I cut my hair short
I'm secretly stuck like dried glue
Last time I saw you
You said that for a summer I had made you feel special
And I can’t believe that’s true
Because little did I know that I was nothing more
Than two
And was probably a bore
So before,
I become older than 18 just know that
I have a sensitive heart and nothing more
I'm not great at playing offense
Let's get that out of the way
But it's nice to meet you
I don't hit home runs
But I know how to throw
Like an underdog
I am defensive when I'm not talking
It's the thing I can do
It's really just the illusion of control
Being offensive
Is a thing that I can't really seem to be able to do
I'm too nice
So I don't set boundaries
Or go around punching people in the face
Because some people probably deserve it
I'm more of a pitcher
Of complaints
Rather than a batter
So
Before you go I must ask,
Are you on my team?
I can’t sleep with the thought of you on weighing on my mind
I want to fast forward, you want to rewind
I hate how you were so kind
I want to see how this works out
You're too heavy and I'm not strong
My mind isn't where you belong
It just feels so wrong
I'm too scared to move you to my heart
It’s 6:28
I'm wishing you were at my gate
Most people consider this early but for me it’s late
I haven’t slept at all
Before I snuck out for some cold water
At skateboarding you almost taught her
When she falls, you better catch her
High school loves very infrequently last
Every night you keep me up
Never asking, “supp?”
No more cold water in the cup
I don’t look up to you
I'm not terribly trusting of this
You are something I don’t like to miss
Cold water gone, this love seems slightly amiss
The dog is barking, roosters crowing
I want sleep
I want my internet creep
But thoughts of you, I still keep
Will you love me?
Honey don’t listen to them all
Don’t let yourself fall
Just keep doing what you were doing
The dream of life keep on pursuing
Don’t fucking stop
Pull out of that garbage smelling parking lot
Don’t let go
Keep moving even if it is slow
I know you sweetheart, you always make it
Keep that fire inside of you lit
Don’t let it go out
Cry your heart into a drought
Come on, love pull yourself out, now more than ever
You are definitely clever
Run you clever girl
Stop believing that you aren't a pearl
Just keep on your feet
Let the future uncurl, I promise it will end up feeling complete
Don’t ever let them force you to sit
One thing about you that amazes me is that you always make it
I know that this isn't what you think, I know it all seems like a mess
But you'll make it don’t think any less
You, have no clue
How much I believe in you
You will find a reason for that pain
Sorry I won’t explain
It will be a great surprise
You have the ability to see through lies
That perfectly terrible loop
Your brain right now is, thought soup
Just another bump in the road
You can take the heavy load
I am the future yet at the same time the past
That desert of the darkness is very vast
But "the best way out is always through"
So for now just make do
Die
Survive
Die
Survive
It's already buried deep down there
I hide it behind a secret glare
"Maybe someday we'll talk"
Could you just take a walk?
Fuck off
Step off
I'm fine
What I'm thinking is all mine
Tell? Never
Whatever
I'm fine I tried to portray
Just go away
Why must you ask every time?
The answer is always going to be no, and that I'm fine
The more you bring it up the more I'm going to think
I don't want to think about it, tears no longer on the brink
It's all over and done
It's buried all the way, just leave it, if you get pushier trust me I'll run
Some relationships I don't want to mend
That hand don't lend
It's been too long
What's wrong?
I'll never tell
It's already buried deep in a well
You've said that you've been there
And everywhere
But you don't know
Just go
You wouldn't get it
But it's already buried in a pit
In your office, pure,
Adrenaline, you'll never know what I endure
In there my mask
Will always last
I'll never tell, clenched teeth
It's already buried beneath
Just give it up
Because I'll never throw it up
Solid living death
Forever hold my breath
When you come to the end of a line
I suggest you walk it carefully
Walk it as fearfully as you would a plank of a ship
It’s like an edge of a cliff
Walk to the edge of the unknown and take a leap
There could be words at the bottom to catch you
Let the words draw the line there
Or let the words take you out on a tightrope
In the end it just comes down to the wire
Are you daring enough to cross the line?
Never can seem to get it right
I'm giving up on the fight
Fuck it
I’ll just live a poverty stricken life
I'm done with keeping up and steady
I'm not quite ready,
To just fuck it
And live a poverty stricken life
Still falling into the same rhyme,
When life gets frustrating and hard every friggin time
So fuck it
I’ll survive my poverty stricken life
I don’t like having things shoved down my throat
But I never opted for a different route so I’ll have to swim the moat
So fuck it
It’s almost too late to avoid a poverty stricken life
I’ll be rich on alcohol
And famous in my new home, the mall
Fuck this
I don’t want that drunk life
I won’t have to do math,
To know that I'm on a poor path
Fuck everything
I’ll have to survive my poverty stricken life
Get away, get away from me
Because you can stop me from sailing at sea
And sinking into fucking everyone like a real pirate
I’ll have a poverty stricken life with a good view
I’ll ignore all the bottles filled with lost hopes and dreams
Instead I’ll collect them in reams
Because fuck it
I’ll need a way to pass time in my pirate life A life without morals or a plan
I might be able to cheat my way out and find a clan,
Of others who decided to fuck it
And ended up living the poor life, in which everyone thinks you're an idiot
But I didn’t like their ways
And I was too stubborn to get through the tough days
Fuck it
I'm already living the poor life
All's not lost
Until I have lost my mind
Now I will write
Into the night As if I am some sort of time lord
I will write
Until I feel alright
A poet’s tailbone
Is where they keep their tales
My tailbone is tired
I shall steal my sleep
From tomorrow
I am a true night time poet
With dry, tangled hair
Who knows where I’ll be able to take myself
Some is lost
And I'll admit that I fucked up
But I can almost trust
That this shall continue
I shall continue on this journey
That is full of losing
And gaining
Precipitation on the precipice
Perpetually with presumable paranoia
Along with possible poems that have no periods
Because life might very well be never ending
Pause...
Delete the delirium of the demons
Don't deteriorate with your destruction
Do what you want during the debriefing but don't drown in the debris
Try not to go that far
Drat
All they asked for was some alliteration
While they surrounded you with alligators in the ally
But I am writing an album of aluminum with alliances that allay
Not every allegation is right
Allure
Currently concentrating
On the cause of the catastrophe
Two cracks colliding without collecting credit
Learn that, that is simply life
Creating
I'm a nitpicky nitwit
Nincompoop that knits knots
In the neon lights of New York, I nervously take notes on networks of gnats
I will stop with the,
I will not’s because I have too many to keep
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.
