Beauty in Pain
Today she called my poems beautiful
What I once saw as unworthy of hearing
Became a relief
She found beauty in my pain
In my voice as I spoke my truth
She found beauty in me
And I found it in her
What I once saw as unworthy of hearing
Became a relief
She found beauty in my pain
In my voice as I spoke my truth
She found beauty in me
And I found it in her

The Devil I Befriended
when I was younger
my mother always told me
friends are meant to lift you up
not drag you down
I honestly never put so much as a thought into it
at least not until recently
when I found myself
being drug six feet under
by the devil I so foolishly befriended
hes got this hold on me
when he goes down
I go down
when he falls
I fall
when he breaks
I break
he's tied a chain to my ankle
the other end attached to his
and anytime I start to climb my way
back to the surface
to the fresh air

SPIRITUAL POEM

Unanswered Prayers
I used to pray to God every night
I'd pray for his presence
For him to come and take me away
To hold me while I cried
To stop my fathers words
I'd pray for him to save me
For him to hear my screams
To see my suffering
I prayed until I was thirteen
Until I was too tired to keep going
I couldn't beg anymore
Not for someone who was never there
I gave my all
My everything
Only for nothing in return
I was a child
I needed help
I deserved help
And instead he stood and laughed
He laughed as I fell
As...

The Fire Inside of Me
Fire can sometimes be enjoyable, we tend to love the heat it radiates, for it makes us war. But me, I hate fire. It's too much hear. Fire burns, stings, leaves scorching marks on everything it gets it's greedy hands on. The flames break bonds, they destroy anything it their path. Fire feeds upon oxygen, so every time I breathe it goes for more, just wanting to continue growing. The flames are growing, it's spreading in an uncontrollable manor. The fire that builds inside me is slowly killing me along with my love for everyone else. It burns, stings, and it's getting too hot to handle. You...

Captivated by Your Beauty
You walked into the room
Everything stopped
Everyone turned to look at you
At least I did
and I never stopped
My eyes followed you as you danced
Captivated by your beauty
How could one person be so perfect?
How could one person be so heavenly?
Everything stopped
Everyone turned to look at you
At least I did
and I never stopped
My eyes followed you as you danced
Captivated by your beauty
How could one person be so perfect?
How could one person be so heavenly?

The voice in My Head
today the voice in my head told me to jump
it told me to walk up those stairs
open that door
step towards that ledge
it told me to climb over
to sit and watch the ground below
today I tried to fight the voice in my head
I told it to go away
I kicked and yelled and screamed
until that voice left my head
and turned into shadow
who's hands pressed to my back
until I went falling
no safety net to catch me
today the voice in my head
pushed me to my breaking point
and down I went
no second to take back...

Morning, Night, and Day
small reminders of you
are scattered upon the world
like breadcrumbs you've left
making it easier
to find my way back to you
you're always there
not always with me
but living in my head
in the memories that reply
like a broken record
or a favorite movie
you can't stop rewatching
you're in the flowers I pick
the stars I love watching
filing the whole sky with light
you're in the jokes I laugh to
the poems I write
the same ones you call beautiful

Constellations
the winter air begins to shift
leaving the cold
filling with warmth
flowers are blooming
music is playing
we're laughing like children
hands intertwined
the moon shines bright
stars scatter the sky
each one a reminder
of the freckles
upon your face
I could lay here forever
not once a complain
tonight we're alive
our hearts beat one
leaving the cold
filling with warmth
flowers are blooming
music is playing
we're laughing like children
hands intertwined
the moon shines bright
stars scatter the sky
each one a reminder
of the freckles
upon your face
I could lay here forever
not once a complain
tonight we're alive
our hearts beat one

House Fire
I've always had a fear of fire,
the way it sets flame to whatever it touches,
it's ability to turn anything to ash,
the thought of it terrified me.
at least it did.
my perspective of fire changed when I met you,
you were an open flame,
one that I fell in love with,
your flame was bigger than me,
it controlled me.
the heat that radiated off it was invisible,
I chose for it to be that way.
I gave you room to grow,.
I provided you with oxygen,
while you spent your time setting fire to whatever laid between us. ...

Messy Completion
I was sitting in class the other day
staring at my reflection on my phone screen
I had this thought
what if I wasn't me
what if I was someone else
in this dumb world
and what if I saw myself
maybe walking down the street
in the mall
in school
it doesn't matter
but would I think
that person's ugly
or I would I want to compliment them
if I saw myself in public
if I was someone else
I would call that person beautiful
so why can't I do that now
why am I ugly because I'm me
but if I was someone else I'd...
