Even On a Cloudy Day

Facebook friends are the type of people to see someone get raped, but out of fear will not act on it and just simply call the cops while that poor girl (or guy because women are not the only ones, such an unfortunate stereotype) suffers a traumatic experience. Not just Facebook friends, real "friends" who claim that they will miss you during the summer and that they will never forget you. Even though they always forget you and dismiss your wave as if you've never shared a memory with them. Real friends don't exist in this society. Everyone is looking out for their own and those...

What Is Poetry?

Poetry is the drug which everyone craves yet does not fully understand its high. Poetry is the escape of ones body into a better life. Poetry is the exploration of ones sexuality and creativity. Poetry is the mental disorder that people experience for a few seconds. Poetry is the cycle of life and death repeating itself in nature and words.Poetry is the darkness people give you a glimpse of. Poetry is complex philosophy. Poetry is the art of war with words. Poetry is the world not censoring itself.

Chocolate Is The Meaning of Life

What if chocolate is the meaning of life? When you think of it chocolate brings us nothing but happiness when we feel like a dementor sucked our soul out. The texture, the smell, the taste, it is out of this world! Ask yourself if you doubt, why can't it be? To some it may be but the meaning of life is what you want it to be. Maybe it's writing a blog or taking care of your kid it's really up to you.To me the answer is chocolate and 42 (according to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe).

Beautiful Scars

Everyone comes in with a blank slate, a chance to start your life and grow. Then you hit your head and get a scar that lasts forever because of your poor coordination. Although having that scar is not as bad as it seems. You will always have that tiny scar, even if it may seem insignificant it’s like a tiny memory holder of that day. Like a tiny reminder that you have survived everything up to this moment and that you will keep surviving until your time comes. Let’s face the facts, you’re going to die. There’s no miracle that makes you the exception but you’ve made it this far so who knows....

Coked Up On Starburst Love

Falling in love is like chewing starburst, sweet and juicy at first but then it ends as fast as it all started. You take another one though because it’s a drug you want to keep experiencing over and over. Taking your starburst with the knowledge that the feeling will end is like knowing the end date on your favorite brand of milk, you try to cherish every single drop of it until, eventually, it’s all gone. You knowingly put yourself through all this drama and heartache for the sake of feeling alive again, and for what? To die a little inside as you see your lost love walking by casually,...

If I fell- A Beatles inspired entry

You make me forget about the scars he left behind. Every morning I wonder if you'll leave me for another, since it's hard to be with me. Please don't give up like he did for I cannot take another heart break. If I gave you my heart don't let it fall and break. It's so fragile and I won't survive another false fall. Catch me! Chase me! Be the reason I smile everyday and I'll do the same. I lack trust but for the right reasons. I love the feeling of love and that is why I fall so hard. If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true? Would you love me more than him? I am not expecting...

When You Took My Innocence

We met, a spark and a flicker
We walked, a red winter
We kissed, all the clocks stopped
You took me and I took you, our hearts stopped
We said the words that I now long for
We loved the life that is no more
You took the innocence I now yearn for
I think of you every hour of every day
I see you pass, casual and smiling
I smile back, tears always shining
I can't be a friend to an enemy I love
You are the one
You were the first that I loved

Cough Syrup

You didn't listen to your cynical friends. You thought Of course we’ll stay together because our love is stronger than the cliches. Well it didn't, did it? It ended as soon as it started. The silk wrap you thought were holding on to was but a diminutive, useless thread. Welcome to the club of ignorantly in love, no matter what we think, no we thought, that each and everyone person we meet and love will stay forever by your side. Of course though the cynics, not excluding myself, have the bitter (and never sweet) grasp of truth. There are about 7 million people in the world and you had to meet...

The Mind of a Writer

Red, the color of my keyboard
White, the tint in my nails
Grey, my mind finding the words
Type and type and type again,
Squeeze every drop of creativity left

Drugs igniting the spark,
Booze painting the dark
Kill the stupidity of my words,
Shoot the shit out of the mocking birds

The mind of a writer,
As fucked up as it seems
Makes you ever so brighter,
Even in this realistic dream

I hope you forgive me

Sorry I made you cry,
I understand if you want me to die
I'd be happy to help,
To Satan a soul to sell

Sorry I said "fuck" so many times,
I guess I can't read between the lines
I hope you forgive me,
Please still love me

Bright Eyed Teens

Glowing teeth and tanned skin,
Hiding the truth that lies within
Within the perfection of those bones,
Within the perception of which they condone

Inviting eyes that meet the status,
Disguised faces that know no sadness
They know no fear, they know no cruelty
Those teens are of the perfect beauty

Blue eyes

Almost romance I bid thee farewell,
Almost lover I wish you well
How can a heart break
When I didn't have one to start?
These tears you make are far too late,
No love to rip apart
Those blue eyes who stared at me so,
They now plunge deep into my soul
Death would better me in romance,
I still remember that slow dance
That never happened
In my head
"I love you", I imagined
