i'll stay forever
Every day, I sit and stare
at you talking about what others consider nonsense.
I'd call you a wordsmith,
Staged-like words flowing off the tip of your tongue.
I hunch in the corner of the group,

An Acrostic
I came to sit by you everyday,
Listening to your laugh,
Imagining what it'd be like if we were friends,
Knowing you don't feel the same.

time and time again
my heart was ripped apart in seconds

those stitches won't stay
just like I know you won't.

the key to me
my heart is locked,
and i'm keeping it for you.

and my defenses in my mind.

Given in my hand like a trophy.

The oppressed rising against the oppressors.

daisies
You trace the ridges of the flower.
The sole daisy in this field.
A dot of yellow against a vibrant green.
Your toes burrow in the dirt.
The soil covering your feet.

nothing
You hear it offhand,
A whispered word floating to your ears,
It’s a falsity, preposterous, a rumor,
Of course it’s not true,
But even still,

A Sestina
Somewhere in the summer sun,
Where dandelions dance and sing
Along with the bluebird’s lonesome cry,
Alone, you’ll find me, lying there
Between the grass seed and maple leaves,
