Poetry

God, I thought I was in too deep… 

It was just an attachment, but I wish it wasn’t something that cheap

I said it would take me months,

Time

Will it end?

Will it stop?

No, it'll pass you bye

in the blink of an eye.

You'll be to old

when you notice

that the starting gun went off

to play catch up

While numbing what I couldn’t face,
bringing out the worst in me,
anger, sharp words,
splinters of a man I barely knew,
I watched as it taught you to fear me,
but it didn’t have to be that way.

Don’t you dare call me dramatic

Don’t you dare say I’m overreacting

I am standing by what I said

Your the problem

So yea

I had a choice

Every women

Every girl

Is amazing

You are amazing

You are the sun

Warming our life

Brightening our day

You are the glue

That holds us together

Keeping us safe

You're doing great

Bend your middle and ring
            forward
Hold them to your palm

the rest, they stay up

and now you brandish
a weapon of a sign

I opened my eyes to see a reflection of me staring back at me,

and I knew at that moment the only person to blame was me.

Every mistake, every regret, every wound,

The air, cold at night, warm during day
All of the kids, out to play
The leaves are falling, painting the streets

“It's not all men”
They say 

And no maybe it's not

But if there's a shark

Deep in the water

Do you dive in and wait 

They all say they'd visit dinosaurs 

go back and dig for gold 

meet their great-great-great grandparents 

be around when electricity was discovered. 

When the question is asked 

Silver arms

Reaching up

Delicate

And yet bearing

Weight

A big middle

Rough

Covered in patterned skin

Big enough

That my arms don't

Wrap around

The course outside

Bathing me in a ghoulish glow

Brightening the dark

Staring at me

Barely disturbed

All the way up there

Floating among

The stars

Simply being

Bathing me in a ghoulish glow

I love the moon
