Poetry

Her life flashes before my eyes

intertwined with his chained heart

Her smile is present even as she breathes

blood

rats surround the alley

a few more steps

1... no no no they wouldn't do this to her

Ma had lots of heels she’d promised to give me.
 

Stilettos, kitten heels, and a daring red. 
 

Scuffed and worn, 

yet donned like designer.
 

the year,

just days i crossed off on the calender,

time elapsed too fast for my slow pace,

i sprint to catch up, 

yet i am left behind,

crying,

screaming,

is anyone still here with me? 

i could fit in any boot

now i fill soles like thick snow

how lovely it is!

i am as soft as the love that surrounds me

i am as soft as the ground

i'm softer than i was before

slowing and staring

The outlook you have is the reflection you will see.

We live in a world we will never satisfy;

bending and breaking til the day we die;

just to seem worthy in societies eyes.

Disclaimer:
I am not a pretentious fool.
I know my worth.
I am not going to write about
How the spirit of the people who built this country
Sways with the wind in our flag!!!!11!!!!1!!

before leaning into you for the first time I didn't realize that

you’re the person that can stitch a smile on my face even when I'm sad 

you’re the person that embraces me because you know

They smile,

They laugh,

But in their eyes I see something,

A sadness,

A pain.

We are the evil we have been afraid of, yet the hope we need to survive.

The crickets are chirping softly.

The moon is out,

Bright and glorious.

Cars race as fast as they can to get back home.

It was a clear sunny day. 

The ducks were swimming in the pond gracefully. 

The water of the pond was as green as the trees.
