Time Unwasted
Time wasted away
On small,
Trivial things
I only have one life
And no way
To undo the things
I’ve already done

My Rose
I was given
A single crimson rose
Once
I loved it,
Took care of it,
Cut the stem because it was too long.
I kept the stem too

Waiting
People brush past me
Clouds shift across the sky
The sun inches down
The sky turns warm
I hear people
Yelling,
Laughing,

Who They Say
He is heartless, they say.
But why did he give the little girl
A piece of his meager bread?
He is calculating, they say.
But why does he not take advantage

Whisked Away Forever
One morning
I woke up,
With the stars shining in my face
Amidst the gentle midnight blue sky.
No sun to greet me,
No moon to comfort me.

Beneath the Beauty
Dancing, leaping, twirling
Gracefully,
Effortlessly,
Perfectly.
But beneath it all
Is
Bruises
Pain
Twisted ankles
Broken bones
Disappointment
Practice
Learning
Loves

Weeping Willows
The weeping willow shimmers, the water droplets gleaming in her sunlit hair.
A dryad floats above her, in the air.
They unify, becoming one.
In Summer, the Willow cries with joy, enjoying the sun. -
A Mix
My face is a mix of my parents'
I have my dad's eyes
And hair
I have my moms features
And skin tone
But it all pulled together
To make my face
My face with brown hair and eyes
Pink lips

For A While
Some people don’t stay
like mountains do.
They arrive like weather —
soft, sudden,
changing the air around you.
They sit beside you
on ordinary days
and somehow
make them glow.

Sleeping Beauty’s Dreams
People say Sleeping Beauty dreamed of her prince in the hundred years she slept.
But that’s not true, not in the least.
She dreamt of a world where she needed no prince to wake her, where she could wake herself.

I Want to be a Princess
Is it wrong
to want to be a princess?
Is it naive or childish?
Because I want to be in a world where at 16
I find my prince charming,
where every year onwards is happily ever after

My heart
The child you reared
The straight-A student
The hard worker, the one that gives
The disorganized, happy, childish teen
The one who cares too much
