She just wanted to see the leaves(A version of rapunzel)
She looked out at the world
From her tower
Hidden away from the
Place she was told
Was once her home
Her hair was long
Auburn
Shiny
Out the window she saw
Mountains covered in color

I promise
You can let go
Release
Break the dam
Let it flood out
Let the tears
Drip down your face
And I promise
I will wipe them away
Open your mouth
Let a scream tear
Through you

Her :(
Each time you see her
Someone else takes your place
And I no longer matter
Her and I used to be friends
But then
She said she was
going to drop me
As it I am am item to be

Only day 6
Only day 6
And yet my backpack

Quizzes and tests
Have been sprung upon me
Only day 6

Chains
Each word is a chain
Wrapping around me
Trapping me in this idea
You have created
There are no keys to unlock
Me from your grasp
Only my words
Can undo your chains
But I'm tired
Of fighting

If Autumn Were a Person
Wisps of long brown hair
escaping a orange knit hat
Honey brown eyes
Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses
Heart-shaped lips
Lightly covered in lip gloss
Cream sweater
Under a green puffy jacket

you are
you are an ocean,
a transparent abyss of blue
that could swallow someone whole,
waves battering against thick grains of sand.
you are a battlefield,

Pumpkin season
I’m four years old and it’s pumpkin season again.
I’m holding tightly to my best friend’s mittened hand
and feeling the wind whipping at my face,
turning the tip of my nose pink,

Eight hours of madness
Blue doors
Hard, cold white tiles lined with blue ones
Walls painted a bland white
This is my cage.

Tell Me I Can Stay
tell me I cannot drink the air;
yet the smoke on the horizon curls like a finger,
inviting me to taste February in the wind
and know time is running out

Four and a half senses
I was gifted with four and a half senses
The first was the gift to see the world
Opening my eyes
Seeing the sharp lights
Blinding at first

"Enemy"
Enemy
That word is used so easily nowadays
To describe your literacy partner who didn't do all the work
That girl who you see EVERWHERE
Even at the grocery store
Who always seems to beat you at everything
