I wasn't good enough
You told me I was weak, but that wasn't true.
All I did was seek your approval in my heart,
all the cruel words held apart from my emotions,
oceans of doubt and insecurity in rolling waves
cave in on me.
You told me I wasn't smart enough,
because I didn't make straight A's all the time.
I was out of line because I couldn't read well,
compelling me to read a million books,
just to prove you wrong.
It wasn't long before I blocked out your words,
curses and rants,
taunts and temper tantrums, childs play.
Childs way of dealing with...

Broken Fool
Please don't leave,
please.
Keep me close,
letting me go would hurt, so much.
No rush in the world
could curl around abandonment,
like chocolate on a pill,
to make it go down easy.
Believe me when I say
how crazy I feel,
heel of my palms sweating,
heart beating much too fast,
anxiety on full blast.
It's what makes me stay the hell away,
makes me swim away from the deep end,
makes me re-bend any misconceptions,
learning new lessons.
I still love, care.
Can't get me out of your hair
that easy.
But now...
please.
Keep me close,
letting me go would hurt, so much.
No rush in the world
could curl around abandonment,
like chocolate on a pill,
to make it go down easy.
Believe me when I say
how crazy I feel,
heel of my palms sweating,
heart beating much too fast,
anxiety on full blast.
It's what makes me stay the hell away,
makes me swim away from the deep end,
makes me re-bend any misconceptions,
learning new lessons.

Alone I Will Remain
tongue tied,
wanting to cry, but knowing I can't.
Want to rant to the world,
but its a cold one, and no one cares.
Rather not ruffle the hairs of others by being in it,
wanting the love of others but not willing to win it.
Racing to the line to try to finish, but don't know why.
People live and fail and die daily,
maybe that is my fate,
but I hate the thought of losing it all,
being irrelevant...falling without anyone caring.
I hear the voices of disapproval blaring in my head,
dreading the truth they speak,
as tears leak...
wanting to cry, but knowing I can't.
Want to rant to the world,
but its a cold one, and no one cares.
Rather not ruffle the hairs of others by being in it,
wanting the love of others but not willing to win it.
Racing to the line to try to finish, but don't know why.
People live and fail and die daily,
maybe that is my fate,
but I hate the thought of losing it all,
being irrelevant...falling without anyone caring.
I hear the voices of disapproval blaring in my head,
dreading the truth they speak,

I love you.
How lucky I feel,
it's surreal, having you in my life.
I've been kite flying with dreams,
trying to keep them up in the air,
but for the longest time I couldn't find the wind.
I tried hard to defend my dreams,
teaming with anxiety and hunger, loneliness.
But meeting you...knowing you
has been pure bliss.
Your kiss is all consuming, ferocious.
Your touch is the most delicious
treat to my body.
I cannot thank you more
for the incessant wetness in my core,
but I implore you to never
ever leave,
I need you,
I...

Learn
Serpents and Doves competition entry :)*
That guy at the coffee shop?
He still thinks he is hot
shit because he knows everything.
He has all the advice in the world,
sure, its good advice,
but he splices the wisdom with snarky comments,
sonnets of a mean heart intertwined in poems of wisdom.
But the girl in the library,
hasn't experience or common sense in her body,
but she isn't haughty or mean.
Sweet as a bunny,
cute,
funny.
It doesn't matter that she is stupid and unwise,
because the kindness in her...

I Wasn't High At All
How high were you competition*
I just blew 100 bucks,
just my luck.
I always get stuck with the bad shit.
I want to kick
that asshole who deals me,
but he is pretty big
and always looks like he wants to kill me.
So I got some shrooms,
newly bloomed.
Supposed to make me see shit,
but I haven't seen anything man.
Even the polar bear said he wasn't seeing anything.
And he's a polar bear,
they see everything.
So while I was waiting for the high to hit,
I asked the polar bear why his girlfriend was a bitch.
She...

Paint the town Red
It's late, and I am so tired,
but my mood is mired in thoughts of loneliness.
The emptiness that I haven't been able to fill.
I lack will in reclaiming my independence.
I look at my last few months and ask forgiveness
of myself for the decisions I have made.
It's like a hurricane of soul searching.
And learning, and falling.
Knee scraping is something I have become reacquainted with,
and it's a gift from God that I am even clear minded in this.
A kiss from a stranger with cold eyes and even colder hands
who demands of you more than...

All On My Own
I kick the shit outta that kid daily.
Gives me something to do to feel important.
I wanna shorten than chain length of insecurity that drags around behind me.
See, he's really small, not tall,
quick fall and his lights are out.
I look down on him and feel like a king,
livin' the dream...
Because I can't at home.
It's sorta weird,
I am all alone but that kid,
I matter to him.
I am somebody to him.
And really I am just passin' the buck,
Who gives a fuck whether it's right or wrong.
it wasn't long ago that my ass was...

Top Shelf Doll
Top shelf doll,
long way to fall down if you slip,
but placed up there with great care,
until the next time it's time to play.
Disappointment brings tears so close to the surface,
waiting to delicately trace their path down my cheeks.
How do I trust that you won't always sit me back up there,
forgetting me,
making me wait for you.
It hurts, and I don't know how to cope with this,
I guess I had had an unrealistic view,
naturally I never have a clue of what the reality is.
You can't build your own glass tower,
to reside in. To...

Future Autumn
Time shades me yellow and reds
I fall and float on a breeze
Rolling through life at ease....
until i touch down
Still.
Golden dance of death
Flawless fall of innocent
Slowly pacing through
the endless cycle that never ends
Flash of Love...Pure
Brilliant Blinding Beauty... Perfect
Warm Grip,
Cold slip,
Sailing ship into the sunset
Hot tones
Fade alone
Death recycles life's adventures
I fall and float on a breeze
Rolling through life at ease....
until i touch down
Still.
Golden dance of death
Flawless fall of innocent
Slowly pacing through
the endless cycle that never ends
Flash of Love...Pure
Brilliant Blinding Beauty... Perfect
Warm Grip,
Cold slip,
Sailing ship into the sunset
Hot tones
Fade alone
Death recycles life's adventures
