i watch as all of my old friends 

grow up to be everything i never wanted,

everything i told myself i would never turn into.

As if it were wrong,

as if it were some curse.

And now i want everything they have,

I almost called you last night. 

I had my thumb hovering over your contact, 

just staring at your name until the screen went dark.

I wonder if they're up there

Watching from the stars

Waving at the ship

From Venus and from Mars 

Does Laika chase the ship

 A toy she never got to test?

The winter’s chill has finally ceased,
A velvet warmth is now released.
The world wakes up in vibrant green,
The fairest, freshest, tranquil scene.

Minds

Alight

With bubbling ideas,

From pen 

To paper,

Pages overflowing

With words,

Describing,

Your hate has wrapped around our Neck

Dragging us down into your Hell 

Then your hands clutched our Own

Claws dug into our Skin

The pain is there to keep us in Check

Keeping us in our Cell

Some people look at me 

in my childish pigtails,

talking too loudly,

trying to get everybody to hear me.

And think they know everything about me.

That I'm a ditz,

Look in the mirror,

What do you see?

Someone,

Who will always be ugly?

Someone,

Who will never be pretty enough?

you had glitter

spilling out of your mouth

fine as stardust

golden as pollen

falling to the floor

feeding no one

you’re wasting yourself

now all you feel

is emptiness

What separates their grief from ours?

Research shows that elephants grieve

They have been seen to stand vigil

Quiet

    Quiet wailing
