daily
good morning
open your heavy eyelids
i know the sun hasn’t risen yet but
you have to
rushing through the house to make that
first cup of coffee
maybe in your haste you can
admire the way earth turns it’s head
for that warmth
feel the cold air and the way it
nips at your cheeks
affectionately, while your feet take you down
the winding road
but take your time
and listen to the way the trees try to shake off
morning dew
notice how the sun dyes the cold air
in it’s loving gaze
the clouds hesitant to crowd around it
but just like you, they can’t help the
space they take up
so they proudly greet the sun
everyone up this early too
exhausted to make a fuss
the bags under your eyes protest
as you bask in the morning light
a slight smile despite the time
i guess
you can’t help but
have a good morning.
Hey Little Girl
Hey little girl
How'd you end up here?
With your chubby, fat face
You're such a disgrace
You were doing so good
Fasting just like you should
Hey little girl
How'd you end up here?
With you wrists a mess
Acting like it's stress
Saying the blades "taunted"
Knowing it's what you wanted
Hey little girl
How'd you end up here?
Being a waste of space
Not even wanting to see your own face
Thinking crying will help
When no one will hear you yelp
Hey little girl
How'd you end up here?
Wishing to just disappear
With no one wanting you near
Wanting to go ahead
And making sure you're dead
four lines (for you)
hey there.
how are you?
we haven't spoken
in so long.
hey there.
anything new with you?
it's weird, isn't it --
writing to you when you're already gone.
hey there.
i miss you.
sorry, i know i shouldn't say that.
(but i'm always thinking of you.)
hey there.
i'm sure this is getting old for you.
but i just can't stop;
i just can't forget.
hey there.
there's something i'm too scared to say to you.
so i keep my poems short: only four lines
that way i don't have to say the truth.
hey there,
i can't erase the past.
wish i could, but
it's all we're left with now.
the past, and the memories, and
the feeling of your warmth, somewhere in my chest, and --
i know we can never go back.
we can never be together again.
but slowly, slowly, i'm able to say that i've accepted it.
maybe i haven't really, but
i'm a writer, so
i'll bleed our story onto these pages.
and with each and every word
with every set of four lines
it hurts a little less.
and now,
this will be the last one.
so i'll say it
the way that i know best.
hey there,
i loved you.
i love you.
goodbye.
Hi There
Hello It's Me
The Crackhead
The Class Clown
The Happy One...
But Am I Happy
I'm Smilling Right
I'm Laughing And Joking
But Do You See The Tears
Do You See The Pain I Feel Everyday
Do You See The Demons That I Fight Every Time I Close My Eyes...
No, Becaus I Hide It
So Hi, It's The Real Me
Broken And Brusied, Scared And Lonely
And Welcome To My Hell...
