Bubbles Without A Bath

Bubbles rising higher,

Multiply through the sky,

Focusing on each one till they merge into

One big sphere.

You say it was a misunderstanding,

But each of the silhouetted memories

Of your habit-

you ridiculed me.

Pouts and questions define your judgement,

You play a facade of concern.

No more-

Find another game to play in the time

You spent with those bubbles

Without even touching them.

For where is the truth in a room full of bubbles

And no bath in sight to wash them all off?

  • The Red Crayon

    I haven't seen democracy since I was four years old, 

    coloring with crayons outside the lines while a man on screen was coloring the map with too much red that the blue was overpowered. 

  • Good Bye Good

    Greed overtook them

    Only those in power shoot their guns in fear

    Of the potential held in the palm of our hands

    Delicate and rough fingers intertwined through every color to shoot back.

     

    Bye Good,

  • Anatomy's Future

    I stopped standing the day that everyone else stopped standing for us

    I have not put my hand over my heart in over a year because what is there to hide?

    I was born here with the blonde hair and blue eyes
