Restrain

i am
restrained
from singing high
and yelling out
and dancing strong
because
i don't want to
lose my pride
when people laugh
so i am restrained
from being the girl
who dances
and sings
and yells
and writes
and draws 
because i am 
afraid
of what people will think
~~~

I got the idea from a random word generator. There will probably be some more of these in the future for when I'm bored. :)

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
