Blind
Someone told me I was blind
Because I could not see
The truth in front of me
But I do see the truth
It may not be what you see
But it’s what I see
And the truth to me is what I see is all that matters.
Because I could not see
The truth in front of me
But I do see the truth
It may not be what you see
But it’s what I see
And the truth to me is what I see is all that matters.

Petals
I am the petal you pluck
Petal by petal by petal
Til nothing is left
But I will not be that last petal no more.
I will stand up for myself
And be me and me and me
Til I am whole
And I will flower and get back my petals .
Petal by petal by petal
Til nothing is left
But I will not be that last petal no more.
I will stand up for myself
And be me and me and me
Til I am whole
And I will flower and get back my petals .

Stroke of Midnight
I dreamt I was living a fairytale
Trapped in the dungeons of my own mind
Bound by the chains of my past
Waiting for my Prince Charming
To rescue me
But when I see that white stallion with my Prince approaching my tower
The dragon emerges and breathes
His fiery breath
Is he too much for my Prince to battle?
Or will my Prince emerge from the flames in time to rescue his Princess?
For the chains that hold me tighten each time the clock strikes midnight
Trapped in the dungeons of my own mind
Bound by the chains of my past
Waiting for my Prince Charming
To rescue me
But when I see that white stallion with my Prince approaching my tower
The dragon emerges and breathes
His fiery breath
Is he too much for my Prince to battle?
Or will my Prince emerge from the flames in time to rescue his Princess?
For the chains that hold me tighten each time the clock strikes midnight

Feelings
Often as poets we write as we see…
I don’t consider myself a poet I just write to write
But, maybe, just maybe, I write to feel
Hmmmm….maybe that’s what we are as poets after all?
Here is how I “feel” today.
You made me fall for you
Gave me your all
And then you took it away
And let me fall
I didn’t know what I did
How did I fail?
You said it was nothing
But still you bailed
My tears are still flowing
And all over you
I want this day to end
But I still want you...

If I were a cutter
If I were a cutter
…..these would be my scars
But Instead they were made by a broken heart…:
…..By my kitten
She doesn’t know how much she saved me the pain by inflicting it from her instead of myself
….cuz the tears on my cheeks are enough by him.

Spirals
Spiraling down
seems like it should be a nice ride
but
the truth is
when you hit the bottom
it hurts
seems like it should be a nice ride
but

when you hit the bottom

Bad boy
I am back in school
Falling for that bad boy
The one that makes my heart palpitate into the danger zone
I know it’s wrong but I can’t help myself
The draw is there…the pull
And before I know it I’m sucked in.
And then I marry him and he still
Makes my heart palpitate
but this time it’s in a different direction
And I know I need to get away but I still can’t help myself
Help me get away.

Makes my heart palpitate
but this time it’s in a different direction
And I know I need to get away but I still can’t help myself
Help me get away.

Realize
I’ve been slapped so many times before that I don’t even know when realization hits.

Issues
I’m having issues
Meaningless or maybe it’s meaningful
I can’t decide which
I have feelings for someone and it’s been such a long time for that
And I want to….I have half-assed it actually ….said “ I love you”
And here’s the dilemma. I’ve said those words too soon before in a relationship…..and I’ve also said them too late.
How do you know when to let your feelings out?
I’m having issues.
Am I the only one?

Drowning
I feel like I’m drowning today
I’ve had a similar feeling before but it was always a ditch that I couldn’t crawl out of.
The walls kept sinking with each grasp as I tried to climb up the wall. I eventually escaped with the strength that I had somehow found.
But…..
Now I’m drowning and I’m struggling to breathe as I reach for the surface and can’t find it
Each moment of panic I sink further and the struggling ensues as I await for a savior
Who will it be? You? Or me?

Unbreakable
I surrounded myself by glass
somehow thinking it was
impenetrable.
But it’s glass…
weak and see-thru
and you saw my flaws.
In a short amount of time,
you found the way
to break that glass.
Like before,
I crumbled to the power
you held over me…
Until my knees hit the floor
and I remembered
the pain.
It resonated throughout my body
til my legs strengthened
and made me rise again.
I...

Shattered
Who do you think YOU are
telling me I’m a piece of shit?!?!
You’re no better than me!
Stop staring! I can take you down!
Don’t you know I used to wrestle in high school?
What do you mean I wasn’t any good?
I wrestled my heart out! I gave it my all...100%!
Fuck you!
So what if I didn’t take a state title... doesn’t mean you’re any better than me!
I have GREAT qualities. I make people laugh, I help them when they’re down, I’m honest, polite, respectful....I’m a FUCKING GOOD GUY!
