Itty Bitty Bunny
What a nose scruncher!
A carrot-chomping
Leg-thumping
Food-swiping
Giggly, itty bitty nose scruncher!
Sometimes when she smiles
Her little nose twitches
It is so cute
Yet so strange.
Is that normal?
It doesn’t matter.
Normal is overrated anyways.
When she's nervous
Or excited
She bounces her leg
Like a little rabbit
My little leg thumper.
When I go out and buy food
And she's with me
The moment I’m distracted
Swipe!
She steals my food!
That little thief! ...

The Last Puzzle Piece
Two hours.
I’ve been sitting here.
For two hours.
Staring at this board.
An incomplete photo.
How familiar.
Pick up the box
Shake it upside down
There has to be something here.
But alas,
I find nothing.
Nothing at all.
Stand up
Spin around
Eyes scanning the area
Looking for what is missing.
Do not get angry.
For it is just a small fragment of an incomplete photo.
But however!
It is not the photo!
For it is the principle.
And the pride.
The dignity.
And I will not lose to...

Bittersweet Intentions
Just two crazy teens
Sharing junk food
Laughing.
Talking.
Having a blast.
Sits on the grass
Laughs some more
Rolls on the ground
Tears in eyes
From all of the laughter
Gets pinned
Smiling
Kissing
Looks up at you
More kissing
Your lips are so sweet
Unlike your intentions
But I don’t care.
Sharing junk food

Sits on the grass
Laughs some more

Tears in eyes
From all of the laughter
Gets pinned

More kissing
Your lips are so sweet
Unlike your intentions

Drifting Away
Light.
Feathery.
Particularly airy.
Numb to the bleakness of reality.
Eyes hazed over
But I can see just fine.
However
I don’t want to see
The things you show me.
For what you reveal to me
I already know.
Yet, I don’t know
What to expect
From you or from this;
So I sit here
And reminisce
Eyes closed
Full of bliss
Heavy heart, lighten spirits
I’m drifting away
Away from you;
My one and only
An oxygen source;
But now you’re gone
And I can’t breathe
So I just lay back ...
Feathery.
Particularly airy.
Numb to the bleakness of reality.
Eyes hazed over
But I can see just fine.

Eyes closed
Full of bliss
Heavy heart, lighten spirits

Lonely Little Girl
Couldn’t make much friends
So made friends with the pills
Tucked away under the pillow
Stifled, soft sobs
Pressed into her bedspread
“There must be something wrong with me”
Was what kept going through her head
Lonely little girl
Roaming the halls
Not one glance was thrown her way
No one noticed her at all
When you’ve lived in nothing but isolation
It gets hard to become reliant
In any form
Or any manner
She wanted someone to talk to
To laugh, to listen
But no one seemed to care
Or...

I Was A Fool For Believing
I was hopeful in the beginning, because I wholeheartedly believed that happy endings did exist.
You made me believe that I was the equivalent of Cinderella.
That things may have started rocky;
But you said it would all work out in the end.
So I believed you.
You told me it was raining
“The weather is just a bit dreary.”
You never told me
That it was just the tears in my eyes.
I remember when you picked me a white dandelion
You said it was the prettiest of all flowers
But what you put in my hands wasn't a...

I'm Crying, But Not Because of You.
Tears are streaming
Down my cheek
Truth be told
I haven’t slept in a week
Why am I so sad?
I was fine just yesterday.
I swear, it’s not because
You up and went away
I’m sick of staring at the ceiling
In search of peace
Maybe I’ll finally
Get some sleep
I’m tired of closing my eyes
And being in pain
I’m sick of hearing
Your fucking name
I don’t want to be awake again
So I try to sleep it off
But I always see what I can’t get back
So I just bury my head in my hands
...

In The Graveyard
In the graveyard
Soft and sweet
I asked you to
Marry me
Black waxy candles
With a tinted red flame
Was it you, was it me-
Which one was to blame?
I think it’s a possibility
That I’m falling for you
And I sincerely hope
That you can feel it too
We marked the graveyard
As our special spot
The place we would go to
To share moments a lot
But then I saw you sitting
By an old, mossy tombstone
I looked closer and I realized
That you weren’t alone
I peered closer ...

It's Hard.
Fat.
That’s what I’ve always seemed to be.
I was that “big girl”
I couldn’t find my happy medium
I either ate too much
Or too little
I was scared
Scared that I wasn’t appreciated
That I was just pitied
Because of my size
I lost a couple pounds, went down a few sizes here and there
All I got was praise
I don’t think anyone really realized
I actually needed to be saved
I’ve been treated like some sort of saviour
And I don’t understand why
Because if I keep it up ...

I Made Friends With A Skeleton
I made friends with a skeleton one day-
Who seemed to be so loving and sweet
We had such an inquiring encounter
To say the least
I thought I was going crazy because I had
A friend no one else could see
The skeleton told me that I was
Just a fraction of what I used-to-be
She was just a skeleton, my one-and-only friend
I found comfort in her bones
She seemed to be the only one there
On the days when I felt alone
She stayed around more
On the days I couldn’t eat
She seemed to only be encouraging
When I...

The Start Of Something New
(For the 'My Sappy Love Story competition)
I remember seeing you
It was like the sky gave way to the stars
You hit me with that smile
Making your way into my heart
We started out as friends
But even that started to grow
I felt drawn to you, I let you get close
I decided to let my feelings show
I remember getting that feeling
That I didn’t want us to be apart
I guess it took us time to see
That we were in love from the start
I never knew how amazing it would feel
To be with someone like...

She Flew Away
A tangle of string
A mess of balloons
And a simple dream
Of reaching the sky soon
A spool of thread
And a lifeless kite
Running and jumping
With all her might
She built her wings from cardboard, feathers and glue
And left them out to dry
Attached them to her shoulder blades
As she took to the skies
She used every chance she got
To get in the air
She consistently leaped
From steps to stairs
She climbed mountains to understand
Just what the bird’s saw
She didn’t care what would...
A mess of balloons
And a simple dream
Of reaching the sky soon
A spool of thread
And a lifeless kite
Running and jumping
With all her might
She built her wings from cardboard, feathers and glue
And left them out to dry
Attached them to her shoulder blades
As she took to the skies
She used every chance she got
To get in the air
She consistently leaped

She climbed mountains to understand
Just what the bird’s saw
