Orange is the color of autumn

the different shades of leaves

falling on the cold wet ground

Blue is the color of the ocean

deep blue sea filled with millions

of creatures and treasure

Red is the color of blood

deep dark burgundy colored

liquid seeping out of a wound

Yellow is the color of the sun

big bright ball of fire shines

down giving the earth light

the smoke from his lips

quietly omits into the dark

he turns to face me with

his bloodshot, glossy eyes

"i want you" the drugs said

the substance in his system

had complete control over him.

⁃ you never wanted me

friends are like coins

they have two faces

some are shiny

some are dull

some are clean

some are dirty

people collect them

people lose them

I've lost all my coins

sleepy boys with tousled brown hair

and piercing green eyes; a smirk

plastered on their faces

sad girls with unkempt blonde hair

and lonely blue eyes; tears streaming

down their faces

i love you the boys say

no you don't the girls reply

Here are some names that came from the top of my head

-Wyatt Spencer

-Riley Newman

-Tyler Davis

-Kaden Black

-Drew West

i never thought i would make it this far

i told my mother

what do you mean? she asked

in life I replied

individuals spot her from a distance

sliding down the polished pole,

licking her cherry glossed lips,

she was a sweet beautiful sinner

lonely sad girls aspire to be her

wishing they had the confidence

hungry men with lust filled eyes

contemplate towards sleeping her

but never act on their impulsions

this is her bitter reality

at only eighteen

she has seen things

no young girl

should ever see

you may seem happy on the outside,
but on the inside you’re broken.

broken into a million tiny pieces
although you don’t let anyone see that.

don’t assume people have the best life
because most people?


don’t.

it's all I hear when I speak to you

not a word comes out of your mouth

you just sit and stare with your dark,

brooding, eyes.

i try so hard to get you to open up,

to get you to talk to me, but

nothing works.

but at the same time your silence

says a thousand words.
