Flambe

-

Go on and worship me.

I'll let the flames

Ignite and swallow me whole.

I'll burn from the inside,

With a smile,

Watch me take control.

Try not to be surprised,

When you see how fast I change.

You think you know all about fire,

But I burn hotter in the rain.

it’s here for me

the thing beating inside

a heart with strings

please do not get attached

I saw me from behind

watching you on, but from afar

I wouldn't have known, If I should choose to go

Someone make my mind up for me,

Somehow.

look at you acting as if nothing is wrong trying to keep the things balanced away from bursting and creating a mess

look at you faking a smile when all you want is to cry remove and let everything flow away

look at you listening to songs in max volume trying to shut the voices and whispers in your head

look at you hoping that your brains escapes to a place where there is nothing to be worried and stressed about

look at you gripping those brush and pencils in hopes to create something out of the misery you have been in

look at you wishing that someone anyone comes to help you out of your misery

look at you not talking to anyone when all you want is someone to lean on and share it

look at you feeling like a burden wanting to run away from attachment away from everyone to a place of peace

look at you writing this poem in hope to feel something better after putting your heart into words

”God.”

Does God love me?

I hope so

For since I were a tyke

I’d cry out for his hands

To wrap around my lifeless body.

Does God love me?

I hope so

Because when I pray

I only feel unsafe

Even though Mommy says I won’t.

Does God love me?

I hope so

Because I spoke to Satan

Last night in my dreams

He warned me Mommy’s friends would be mean.

Does God love me?

I hope so.

I hope he’ll feel and heal

My poor wretched soul

From this sinful hate.

i am a mouth full of teeth. you do not know me.

i sing in the mirror. i unfold into leaves.

you point out my outline. i morph into something new.

i am always going to be one step ahead of you.

i simmer in the dark. i grow into trees.

i am a palm full of water. you do not know me.

The love of my life

The dream of one kind

He has no face or mind

But in my imagination he thrives

Irretrievable

-

If you let them,

They will rip parts of you away.

They'll slash at your skin,

Leave you with wounds

You are not able to mend.

In the silence of their absence,

You will cry with what's left of you-

The pieces not worthy of taking.

You'll begin to love these parts,

As if being dismembered and torn

Didn't change you at all.

These broken parts are all you remember.

They're all you've ever known.

And you'll never let anyone touch them

Ever again.

depressed teen nursery rhyme

one by one , i no longer feel numb . two by two , sorry i always disappoint you . three by three , turn away i don't want you to see . four by four , so many tears begin to pour . five by five , counting down the days i'm alive . six by six , all my emotions begin to mix . it all became too much to count , so i will just lay with my drought .
