A broken winged bird Belly brushing the sapphire sea waves Flaming feathers licking the twinkling twilight Yet alone All alone With no one but the stars. A candlelight gathering With nobody there But one little girl whose face is lighting up the dark. Rejected The bird is an outcast from his family A different being Whom no one understands. In the world this bird had to fight to be heard To been seen To be loved. But in solitude, That bird is the ruler of the sparkling sky and of the gaping ocean.
People look at me and see an average white American teenager. 13 years old With medium length brown hair With a quick smile and and a quicker tongue.
But people never stick around enough to find out more. Even my closest friends have yet to scratch the surface of my dreams
I've heard all my life that I'd better marry a wealthy husband who loves me and I'll have a good life.
But maybe I don't want wealth. Maybe I'm not looking for a Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet I'm not some damsel in distress. I can take care of myself thank you very much.
I want to go to college and meet new people And have new experiances And learn new things
Look around you Everything is there Life is holding things inside me Words pouring from my mouth Tell me Your secrets Your hidden thoughts That you are bottling up. Tired eyes stargazing Watching the death of happiness What can I do for you? How can I change the world? Lips full of secrets And let them go. Angels flying somewhere Whispering in my ear In your voice. Your ideas And thoughts Run toward the light Let it embrace you Hear the music And let it flow around you You are free Flying far, far, far Into the twilight.
Broken things Tears flowing like a river Tissues stop working Falling Falling Falling
Wake up
Sinking Sinking somewhere I never want to see Black flames engulfing me Tearing Ripped Me into a shattered icicle
Give me your hand.
Dusty pink chipped nails Treading the airy atmosphere FInd me here Pick me up I can't anymore Hurt Like a waterfall The cascades dripping down Down Down
Are you listening?
Breath in Light streaming into closed eyes Hands Pulling me away from darkness Stumbling to the surface Never falling Clean air Rising Rising Rising
Eyes like liquid glass Ruby lips curled skyward Skin on fire Molding and making herself Into something new. A candle with too much oxygen Burning brightly Until there is nothing but ashes. Grey cold ashes But then the fiery phoenix.
