He may destroy my beauty
As he makes his dirty mark on the world
Which he believes he owns
He may scar me and pave over me
Twist and yank me to make me do what he wants
He can get under my grass dress
But oh
What he does not know
When I fall asleep
In my bed of moss
I can hear spirits whisper in my ear
I dream of warriors dancing around a fire
And it makes Wounded Bird feel protected
Knowing that I belong to mother nature
And that she never quits
She just keeps coming
Though she may be slow
I can see her rock cracking strength
Her ability to sink boats,
And create typhoons, tornados, tidal waves, tragedies and tsunamis
The way she grows and heals
And always takes back the steering wheel
And I ask for the universe to be nice to me
Big loud people
Who can’t go a second without talking
Crowding my introverted type of brain
I'm a small person
Who needs to recharge from hectic chaos
Then they yelled out that they were leaving
And a sigh of relief went out the door as they left
They backed out of the driveway as if the house was blowing its nose
And the house breathed in a silence
A comforting silence
A refreshing spring breeze
That blew the curtains and the weight off my chest
After a while the silent stillness
Brought in the ghosts
That were guided in by the light white curtains shimmying around
The pain has returned
An ice melting burn,
That loses your best friend
That hand they used to lend, They retreated
When they are exactly what you needed
I liked them better before,
They left for a cup of sugar next door And there was someone else
Who was the first person I told about ol' Bergen Bels.
I had to let go
Time went fast, time went slow We got too close
I'm sorry for you, I had my goodbye toast
What is friendship,
Without the jump and the flip? Time stealing
Dime dealing
Time can make a wound
And put you in your tomb
Even though I gave you the secret key
To me
I can still very easily lock you out
Don't you doubt
You have the key but I can change the lock
Then all you would be able to do is walk
Away
Dismay
No one will be able to get in
I'll grin
Every time you fail to get in
I will win
I won't let you see
Me
I'll slam the door
And you'll be crying on the floor
If you declare war
I know how to make a bulletproof door
You won't be able to bribe me out
So you shout
Nothing is getting out or in
No mocking jay pin
Once I'm inside that locked door
I'll soar
I'll run as fast as I can
To where the land
Ends
But that depends
I must keep my storms
Inside more
Maybe that's why people leave
My storm puts them inside a blizzard, I believe
“Conceal don't feel”
That's what I've always done, it's real
The cold of the storm never bothered me anyway
I'll make all the fakes pay
"Let it go"
No!
The door is closed
I'll be completely enclosed
You can't save me
If I don't want to be
I no longer hope youwould just text me
Have you known the whole time that all of this was to happen?
Fallen out of love is exactly what I have done
Out of the k-i-s-s-i-n-g tree I have run
Of course in the back of my head I knew
Love, I do not miss you
With this relationship, I'm done!
You knew, didn't you?
But I was naive enough to let myself fall
I don’t have a hard time when I see you in the hall
Still, I can’t believe that I got over you
Hope is how I know I can do
You'd better not stay with her or,
Text her and tell her that you love her
Me without you is like a bladder without piss
Like it or not, it doesn't get better than this
You were such a bad boy
Did you never realize that I wasn't just a toy?

Alex won't be upset
A bit of white on blue isn't
A tad quite all white
All I see is white
A pure, Christian shade of white A white expanding cloud

Anxiety
Attack
And a loss of godliness Honestly it became a sharp
Hue of
Hatred
How did it come to this... "Hi" I say to my friend
He says it was a
Hit and run
However I Have to try not to
Hyperventilate through this
Hiccup. Why did this have to
Happen. Now my car has a Scarlet letter, but I am getting
Help to hammer out the dents
I only wish I could have frozen
Time
Why can’t we all be more like death?
Not giving a care
But taking all
Fighting those with a strong will to live, very unfair Bringing people back home to their center of magic earth
Stardust people
Why can’t we work together and fight this?
Is it because some believe it’s the end and not to mess with the steeple I guess to get a compromise they must argue themselves in circles
Two sides like an infinity sign
Adding onto ideas and holding ground back and forth
I think we the people need to rewind What are we actually trying to achieve?
Rather than spewing insults and points back and forth
We could keep the goal in mind, for us to save the world
The glaciers melting in the North We the people, never forget to shake hands at the end
That’s my favorite part
When we all come together,
We are all on this planet with similar problems; I hope we can live heart to heart
Teacher of hope
You were dope
I need to remember you
Teach her of hope
You once opened a freshman’s locker without a nope
A long haired girl with blurry eyes, and a bright green backpack
Teach her of hope
She’s going to need it to cope
She has a famous blue sweatshirt
Teach her of hope
She knows now to hold on proudly, to the soap
I really hope you're right
Teach her of hope
That way all over she wont mope
You netter be right, I'm broke banking on it
Teach her of hope
Get yourself in her heavy cantaloupe
She thinks you’re wrong, that she’s a successor
Teach her of hope
Lead her towards the rope
Just don’t let that girl forget, what can be forgotten
I often walk the streets of regret
I know my way
Down the blank streets,
Of this blank town,
That few people know by name
The ones that know are the ones who survive the pain,
With pockets full of dread,
With feet full of lead
There are people on the empty streets
Fighting to be the next Bruno Mars, or Beyonce
While peacemakers argue with them,
I secretly stand out
I’m fighting to be the next Bob Dylan, or Patsy Cline
I know that those two are mine
Artists with feeling,
Don’t live in the same world as the robots with glass and glazed, laser eyes
There are cracks in the sidewalk kids are playing near
There are booze bottles littering the streets
I walk past with hurry stuck in my messy hair like gum
I don’t know much, but I'm sure I'm walking after midnight
Alongside a rainy wind blowing,
My wills are growing
I stop to see my hopelessness weeping
Instead of possums and passions sleeping
I turn a corner to find winter waiting waving at me
I turn a leaf to find some grey pill bugs that resemble me
Where do you go when you don’t have a home?
Do you just sit defeated the moment you are set free from your room?
Defeated because in the beginning you pushed too hard
In the start I saw the morning light hitting the dew drops in the backyard
The illusion of freedom in my black play pants
I guess that’s kind of my thing now, but now they come with ants
I don’t remember running out of hope
But I did realize that life is certainly not a fairytale where dreams come true
And true love’s kiss saves everything
You must live without your dreams and just do what a man’s got to do to keep yourself alive
The frustration of walking in circles, round and round
And constantly seeing clowns with painted frowns
As if they were mocking misery with their humor
They tell everyone how great the streets are but it’s a funny rumor
Popping in sunflower seeds
Not worrying about any bad deeds
A few years pass and I'm chewing the same flavor gum
Trying to hum the same hum
Attempting to reverse time
And take back the crime
Of going against the average current
By knowing things like how you need a warrant
The reason therapy exists is because
Some of us see the world as it does
This is 1984
Everyone just decides to ignore,
That the truth is now illegal
It is flying on the oil back of a seagull
Slipping off and getting lost,
Stuck on the back of my shoe like a piece of gum
Thinking about it now, I've been depressed all along
I know what is wrong
It's the fact that I didn't want to be born
Everyday I wake up and mourn
It's not fair; I did not want this world
I want to stay furled
This world is cruel, unjust, horrible, and unfair
I don't like it so beware
Why aren't the metal people melting in this heat
Why am I still out here? It's because I can smell sand and salt
And the heat reminds me of summer
Although
I am questioning what in the world am I doing The birds chirping
The traffic
The anxiety It feels like a good day
For the beach and nothing else To get your feet burned in the sand
And the sharp feel of shark water But I'm here on an uncomfortable park bench
Made to look like a place to sit
Made to be uncomfortable So much for the brick and concrete, cars and calc I could have drove home and be arriving there now
But why would I want to be there Have I become one of the metal people
Just here watching the other people I guess not quite yet
Because I can feel the human slowly dripping from the pits
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.
