Maybe
it took awhile for me to realize
that i am thinking straight
you are real
and you care about me
far from a mirage
or a shape
someone could fill pages
with words just for you
the way you crinkle your nose
when you smile
the squeak of your shoes
as you walk
the sleepy black curls
atop a slim and shaven face
maybe i could one day
but not today
cause you see
the words don't come out right
but how can you make my heart
fill up to the top
with...

Run-On Thoughts
represented by a number
that changed today
just a numerical figure
forget my thoughts or actions
i guess it's not in my mindset
but simply the image
today i turn a year older
a year wiser
and the sun still rose
and the sun will still set
fore commotion does not cease
motion is still moving
keeps churning and changing is this thing
we call the ocean
that changed today
just a numerical figure
forget my thoughts or actions
i guess it's not in my mindset
but simply the image
today i turn a year older
a year wiser
and the sun still rose
and the sun will still set
fore commotion does not cease
motion is still moving
keeps churning and changing is this thing

We Never Realized
i would've thought you were to blame
but who knew we are the same
cause you are sad
and
i am too
you seem so different now
standing behind a silent crowd
two thin lips to hide away
the sadness you face everyday
long, straight shoulders
to block yourself in
but the world is not your sin
so please forgive and don't forget
a broken smile that shouldn't fret
it seems we all thought we knew
until one day we find out wrong
different eyes, see different things
thats why she cries
and he sings
who knew we...
but who knew we are the same
cause you are sad
and
i am too
you seem so different now
standing behind a silent crowd

but the world is not your sin
so please forgive and don't forget

Chestnut Hill
everyday I start at the bottom
of a hill
climb up to the top
and wait
as a smile
I come quick and happy at the best of times
but as a frown
I show my inner pain when it hurts too much to hide
then everyday I walk back down
that hill
to find
that the journey up
wasn't really worth it
of a hill
climb up to the top
and wait
as a smile
I come quick and happy at the best of times
but as a frown
I show my inner pain when it hurts too much to hide
then everyday I walk back down
that hill
to find
that the journey up
wasn't really worth it

Puzzle Pieces
sometimes i wake up and find
that i cann't typ e rigt
thoughts jumbled up
before
the pieces matched
now
they don't seem to fit
instead of a clear mind
lingering thoughts
sad mad glad
harsh rhymes
with no sense made
the description of my thoughts
are in another language
unreadable
only scanned by wide eyes
at a painful equilibrium
you're not here
no one's here
submerged in self confusion
the water a little dark
swirling, drifting
inwards
to my core
my center
a pad...

The Perfect Storm
the pen has never complained
so tears fall
like a quiet rain
the notebook has never closed
so thoughts illuminate
like a sun exposed
the paper has always complied
so bottled up words
feel like an unobstructed tide
and so it seems
we make the perfect storm
so tears fall
like a quiet rain
the notebook has never closed
so thoughts illuminate
like a sun exposed
the paper has always complied
so bottled up words
feel like an unobstructed tide
and so it seems
we make the perfect storm

Dear Stranger
i wish
i could be there
every single time
you grasp that blade
i wish
i could be there
every single time
you touch the skin
unfamiliar and fake
to you
beautiful and resilient
to me
i wish
i could be there
every single time
flaws are hated
and your left
clutching the broken glass
that was once
a bold reflection
i wish
i could be there
every single time
wrong words are spoken
and taken to heart
cause being strong doesn't mean ...

Infinity
what would happen
if you forgot the looks
and the image
forgot about the words
fine and okay
and simply
felt
take the adverse
and beat them down
so you can finally
love yourself
wrote
thought
acted
outside of the box
take the lines away
no shape
you have no limits
shed the heavy shell
weighed down
by society
and unspoken morals
dropped a penny
to then pick up a nickel
and just like that
realize
I
am
free

and the image

fine and okay

All Of Me
today
i looked at myself in the mirror
far from vain
only
out of curiosity
i was thinking about
what my hair,
long and wavy
my eyes,
blue and bright
my nose,
small and sloped
my cheeks,
freckled and rosy
my skin,
worn but young
would be like
without you

Pray For Boston
it was said to be a day of joy
newtown survivors and families
lined up
cheering
smiles turn to screams
an explosion
then
another
dozens injured, few dead
the world
seems a horrible place
at times like these
i would
if i could
take back
every piece of destruction
the world has to face
but
i can't
thoughts and prayers goes
to those
affected by this tragedy
from something so horrible
i hope we can find
a light
a twinkle
something ...

Internal
it's more than a knot
or fluttering wings
a mere tug at every nerve in
my body
forgetting how
to breath
is breathless
looking into eyes
that could ignite something dangerous
and ignoring the warnings
one look
could please me
content
fueled by a pair of
baby blues
and tattered shoes
goofy smiles
but thoughtful at heart
we sat with no words
for hours
and i left feeling
whole
when before
i felt split
...

I Take It Back
ugly words
spoken at the worst of times
snarling, horrific, shapeless
sounds
from an unconscious mouth
unperceived
not believed
only regret
cause you blindly hoped
the ache would
let
