Poetry

  • Life

    "Life isn't about finding yourself.

    Life is about creating yourself."

    Said the big chalkboard on the wall

    In that gym lined with red mats

    And chairs and chairs and chairs

    I'll never forget

  • Busywork

    I feel useless

    Unproductive

    No one needs me right now

    Good

    I have nothing to do

    B o r e d o m.

    I can't stop thinking about you

    I assign myself tasks

    Keeping me occupied

  • Delicate

    I am delicate,

    not fragile,

    please handle me as such.

     

    I was crafted,

    perfected,

    but I will crumble under your touch.

     

    I am easy to break

    because I am not meant to be broken,

  • Reality

    I hold my breath 

    Until we are free 

    Free 

    To simply 

    Be. 

    And I watch myself suffocate

    Forgive me. 

    I forgot what is of our reality 

  • Kept It All

    I keep everything i have left of you

    I still look at our pictures together

    We looked so happy

    I still have your sweatshirt

    It still smells like you

    I still have the stuffed animals

  • Finding Myself

    I found myself in the things I love

    In the music I listen to

    In the books I read

    In the posters on my walls 

    I found myself 

    In my favorite drink

    In going to the beach

    In writing poetry 

  • It all comes back

    When I got home

    After those two days

    Passed by much too fast

    And then they were gone

    And I was changed forever

    When I got home

    I remember

    I cried and cried and cried

    From longing

  • I love

    I love you.


    I know that’s just me

    And you

    And there are hundreds

    Of millions

    Of haters

    Of hated.


    But I love you.


    But you’re my best friend.


    I love you for phone calls

  • Wishing

    I've been asked a lot,

    If you had one wish what would you wish for?

    Blowing out candles on a cake,

    What did you wish for?

    Blowing the seeds off a dandelion,

    What did you wish for?

    I wish
