Poet Introduction
Hug me to make me feel safe... choke me if you love me... Strangle me to set me free...
My Little Girls
Three years it's been
Since I’ve been unshackled
It makes me worry about you girls
How tight are your restrains?
Jenna you have grown so much
In height and in wit
Your pale skin dotted like stars in the sky
Your straight golden hair
Lips kissed with pink
Straighter teeth
Your hostile personality
Your sweet and gentle grey eyes
Reading classics
Raising your fist
Your tongue as sharp as knives
Your words like fired bullets
But deep inside
You're still so sweet
Like the girl I left behind
Sweet...

I hate you so much
Your bright green eyes and hot build
Logical, sweet lips
My fingers in his thick hair
I just want one more taste please

Logical, sweet lips

Melissa. Not Mom.
We are 678 miles apart
With broken families and hearts
We were all once babies
Cradled in mommy’s arms
Now things are different
Things got hard
Daddy yelled
And mommy left
We all cried
And then we left
Mommy took us
Dad is Jason
Mommy took us to Nevada Las Vegas
Grandma’s patience was almost none
Kids taught what was “more fun”
Grandpa’s sick
He’s almost gone
Once loved birds and all their songs
I learned of anime and fanfic
Grandma got more and more ticked
Grandma and grandpa moved up north ...

Depressed outcast
I walk down the hallway
with music blasting in my ears
but i can’t help but notice
the voices all around me
“Why does she do that to herself?”
“Eek! She’s got tacks in her ears!”
“Is that a safety pin in her mouth?”
“Doesn’t that hurt?”
“She’s weird!”
“She’s a creep!”
“A freak!”
“It’s tearing her apart!”
I just look down and smile
with a knife in my heart
I’m happy they can’t see
the misery in my eyes
the pain in my life
These pins and tacks are holding me together
not tearing me apart
They say to...

The Bitter Kiss
I hate it
I hate that I kissed him
I hate that I liked it
I hate how I wanted my lips to belong to him…
I thought he loved me
I thought I loved him
I didn’t want him to leave
I thought I was his
If I noticed the signs
The signs that I missed
We would have never…
Ever kissed
In the cold darkness
Surrounding us both
Terrifying me
He pressed his lips against mine
No longer my own
Scaring me death
I could not stay
Every two minutes
I had to pull away
His saliva sticking to my mouth
I just had the...

Colors
The colors we see outside are mostly green, black, and blue
But sometimes I see yellow quite often too
To some people colors mean something like feelings
Red with rage, green with envy, and *sigh* I've got the blues
Colors can also tell speed of which you are going
Stop at red, go on green, and yellow go slow
Colors mean a temperature quite often a lot
Burr blues cold and careful reds hot
But in my mind colors have more meaning
I see colors in people I'm meeting
I see colors in people that are oh so unique
I see their true colors glow and...

A Black Bird
I dream of a bird.
A black bird.
That's what i am.
A black bird whose wings are broken.
Who the other birds have lost faith in because i cannot fly.
The sky has harden.
I flap my wings and soar.
It hurts so bad.
It hurts to be free.
I cannot take it anymore.
I scream.
I fall.
I fall to the ground.
The sky has darken.
The gray clouds roll in.
The thunder roars.
Lightning strikes.
The sky shakes.
With little hope.
I crawl.
I hear a voice.
It whispers don't look back.
But do and i hate it.
I cannot...
A black bird.

I cannot take it anymore.
I scream.
I fall.

The gray clouds roll in.
The thunder roars.
Lightning strikes.
