Let's Go

Let's go
somewhere

Somewhere
only we know


Take a trip
starting with your smile
and ending with a sigh
Follow the path 
that crosses the distance
between our breaths
Begin our journey
to arms called
home again


Let's get out of here
to the place where thoughts
are like cloud watching
and you are the ground
I can rest my heart on
Falling like a star
to the only place gravity 
knows is safe

Just for a second
let's go somewhere
together

An attempt at slam poetry: I feel like a Child

The first time you took my hand, 

I knew the world would spin forward now. 

I could stop backpedaling through the dark shadows of my mind and

just breathe

I knew I had found someone worthy of "best friend". 

I mean that in the way that you are the best person 

of all the people I know

of all the friends that I have

you are the best prize in my collection of hearts. 

I won the day I met you. 

If I could write a poem every day, all of them would be about you

because I know you always have time to read them. 

When you took my hand, my head stopped. 

All the thoughts from the years of anxiety and depression

vanished like a tidal wave washing away the sand. 

You found my lost child and told her the monsters were gone

shining your light on all the broken mirrors shattered by loved ones past

I could never get you out of my mind. 

My brain and my heart have always been connected, 

so since I let you hold onto my heart I've been captive. 

However my emotions are still childlike

when I don't get to see you, I feel like I can't remember you

I want to remember everything about you

The way you hold your weight when you walk in a room

The way you play music to fill the silence

The way you side smile when you're truly happy. 

The longer we're apart, the more my heart feels like it's coming back to me. 

I don't want it anymore. 

When I don't get to see you, I feel like my skin is empty. 

There's no one to lean on me while watching movies

There's no one to hit when they're making fun of me. 

There's no one to hold onto when my trigger wires are cut. 

The longer we're apart the more distance of time keeps me from you. 

I can't wait anymore. 

I know I'm not losing you, but lending you out like a library book

there's always the potential of no return. 

I tell myself, "I'm an adult", but why is it when you have to make a choice

my 4 year old heart wants to sit in the corner or in the middle of a parking lot

and pout and cry and scream "Pick me!

I was here first!"

How much dust must collect on my heart before you'll pick it up again?

I love you

and I will wait. 

No matter how long it takes.

My world is still spinning forward. 

My hand is still open for you to take.

Liquid Sun

i.

Sun rising with your smile,
make the darkness 
hide it's torment
behind your teeth.

I could never shine like you.

ii. 

Submerged in tears,
proximity my only 
life vest.

I am lost at sea.
Nauseated by 
emotional upheaval.

When did I get lost? 

iii.

Patience is a virtue
bottling the 
carbonation in my throat. 

If you shake me,
                        I will implode.

iv. 

A liquid sun
slipping through 
my fingertips.
Our interactions
are intangible. 

I wish I could 
staple you to 
my heart,
so I'd never worry 
about you 
evaporating.

Just Breathe

There are days when the world feels 

like it's turning backwards.

The wind is always in your face.

But, hold on tight

The stillness will come.

A pause in all things "life"

just so you can take a breath.

Feel the roses.

Drink the beauty.

Relax in the proximity.

Just wait. 

Just be patient.

Just breathe.

exist.

Darling

Darling,

When my mask feels heavy
beginning to crack
with all the pressure of
smiling through a hurricane,
you carry it for me.
I love the way you think.

When my skin feels
like it's swallowing
my pride, and the
dizziness from the
world spinning beneath
my knees sets in,
you call me home.
I love the way you breathe.

When I need people so desperately
I run, only to lay eyes on
the distance uncrossable in time
to release the bottled tears
before they burst,
you calm my fears.
I love the way you love.

You're irreplaceable,
a necessary straight line.

You are

all to ruins.

Us

I. 
The distance between 
our hearts is thick
but thin enough 
for you to break
with just one touch

I've been waiting
behind the distance
but you seem to 
want it there.

Is this love?


II. 
Inside
the loneliness is
killing me with each
breath of withdrawal

You're gone
I should have 
stopped you 
I should have 
stopped you

It's my fault
there's nothing
I can do
to hate you
instead of loving you
and hating myself


III.
Hurting still
I realize 
I can still be a princess
just not in your castle

My stars are dim
My brightest one 
still in your eyes
You're a thief 

Flames watered down
I'm still smoldering 
I will burn bright again
without you

I will be whole again
It's my turn to run

Blame

Why can't you just see
what it is that 
you've done to me?

You won't know

I'll just keep on wearing my mask. 

Maybe someday
you'll see truth, 
lay eyes on scars
from my troubled youth.

Trust

Trust is
pulling out your own heart
and giving it to someone else
saying,
"You can hold this for a while".

When they say,
"I don't trust you",
you can feel the hole
where your heart used to be,
wishing you could take it back,

but at the same time
knowing you never will.

Drowning

At 16 I almost died.
Swimming in the river,
I stepped off the floor's end
and quickly fell.
My brother afraid
grabbed on, trying only 
to save himself.

Ever since I've wondered
what it would be like to die.
When life gives you lemons,
are you supposed to cry?

When life pours out it's hardships,
you realize the more you're frowning
that you don't really need water
to feel like you're drowning.

On Living Color

Everything was red
Thinking it was love
I tried to breathe it in
Bathe in it and 
Hide it in my pockets

When I went to 
pull it out again
on a rainy every day
I found a chameleon 
who called itself pain

It changed all to blue
getting deeper as I 
sank into the ocean
of tears that wouldn't stop
falling from my heart

Overcome

The only time
I was ever enveloped
completely by your love
was when your heart
reached out and
comforted mine.
You took both my hands.
You locked them in yours.

A moment so fleeting,
I never thought
it would exist again.
To be engulfed by
your caring core,
sensory overload.
Overcome,
I could not move.

If someone had said
"The only way
to save yourself
is to run"
I would have died there.
Melted clay in your hands.

A feeling that only returns
with your gentle touch
in the spot where
I attacked myself.

Complete acceptance.
You cover all wounds,
bandaging my heart with your hands.
You gingerly pry
the broken shards of my soul
out of the lies they've drowned in.

Only you have
the power
to make me feel
like a child
held entirely in the arms
of a loved one;
Safe,
Content,
Overcome.

Surrendered

Three years, a civil war
A rebellious brain taking
the world out
on body's flesh

Finally someone
interceded
crossing the enemy lines
to raise the white flag

Now the war is over
a new journey begins
Peace has been restored
and I can start the search

for the antebellum me

Touch

Living life alone
I crave one thing
but it is the only thing
I can never give myself

I long for the touch
of another
simple contact
for even seconds

The vulnerability
is the consequence
for I must rely on
someone else

Fear of unending
non-satisfaction
and rejection
Only one person can I trust

When we touch
we touch entirely
even our hearts reach out
interlocking fingers

Relapse

Fighting your own flesh
is tiring
One day the ground you've held

Marked raw with emotion,
you paint the worry on your wrist

But you'll get back up
Pick up the dirt you're waist deep in
and bind the earth with defeat

Dear Heart,

Oh Heart,
Be still
and listen

I long to teach you many things

This is how you learn to fly
This is how you beat all on your own
This is how you break the barriers

But you are like a child
looking for a lost balloon
So far gone
you can't remember its color

One day the balloon will come
back down to earth
I pray you'll be there, sweet heart
I pray you'll remember

Please keep beating, little one
I still need you to live

Annihilation

You won't understand the pain
of self injury
until you begin
the war upon yourself
where the only goal

Fenced in by red lines
becoming white scars
Freedom is
bound by the cuffs of
long sleeves and bracelets.

Bound by Inked Honor

I thought you were my twin
Souls identical in fraternal bodies
A bond marrow deep
Never to be broken

You were my rebellious phase
I adored you like a role model
You are older by age
but younger in maturity

Branded at ninteen
We were marked forever
By ink penetrated
Matching like our hearts

At twenty I realized
I was never like you
Blinded by my love
You caused more damage

I finally could see
A reason to take back my heart
I could now be free
Souls always far apart

Our lives have grown separate
A blessing for us both
Although yours remains the same
My tattoo is forever changed

I am no longer
bound by inked honor
My body can forget you
like my heart wants to do

Burnished Eggshell

Pale and Fragile
My soul is vulnerable
Like an egg

The contents within
So much potential
Carefully pliable

Sunk in the oceans

Guarded by

You still cared

You promised you'd never leave

and gave back my shine

A burnished eggshell
My soul is with you.

But slightly behind

to show your superiority

If Only...

If only I had met you sooner
You could have been mine
I could have been yours
The love would be ours

I can feel your heart in mine
But mine will never be in yours.
You are completely hers
Forever you'll be the two of you

Recently getting closer
I've felt your strength
Wishing for arms like yours
To hold me and support me

So deeply connected
We think exactly the same
A quality couples adore
is another like you in store?

I can not say a word
A silent plea
That you will choose me
But my love for her is greater still

This will remain a secret crush
A bottled message
Never to be revealed
Never to be touched

Pain of Silence

Silence
Words flung
all toward me
while I wait
in
Silence

Stop talking
Nobody wants your opinion
Who asked you
You're not listening
You never pay attention to me
I can't handle all your problems
You're just bringing me down

Why don't you ever talk?

Sit still
Stop doing that
Don't slouch
You can't sit like that
You look funny when you do that
What are you doing
You look ridiculous

Why are you so self-conscious?

Don't touch me
You're hurting me
You're in my space
People will see
Get off of me
Well that was awkward
You're too close

Why don't you ever touch people?

You shouldn't be eating that
You should lose a few pounds
You're too big
You've got quite the gut
Why don't you diet
I think you need a bigger size
Are you sure that's going to fit

Why aren't you eating?

Way to go
It's all your fault
Wow you're stupid
Do you like me yelling at you
You must like the attention
Otherwise you wouldn't do stupid things
I can't believe you would do that

Why do you feel like a failure?

Silence
Wait for the words to stop
Wait for the chance
to get away
to get alone

Silence
Every tongue held back
Every word becomes
a shed tear
and
a new wound
as the silence is filled by
the sound of the blade

Until all that is left
is the
Pain of Silence

Dreams

As a small child
I welcomed death
But I never tempted fate.

I would dream
of being grown up and
making all my own decisions.

I felt as if
I would die young,
Never seeing old age

Now I'm older and
my dreams are reality
Feelings of death remain constant

Dreams change
to what lies ahead, but
death would be a dream I'd hate living

It is Dated Back to the Time I Loved You

I found your letter
The one you wrote to me upset
Full of emotion

Crumpled lined paper
Words fill around the tear spots
Pink pen ink

Memories long ago
It is dated back to the time I loved you
Now no more

A page full of truths
You meant every word then
Now simple lies

You had my heart
But you abused the power
Broken pieces

I forgave you
I can never look at you the same
You must move on

I've replaced you
My heart has been mended
Your letter is ash

I Loved You Once in Silence

I loved you once in silence
No words spoken
Only messages exchanged
Quickly
Continuously
Successively

The silence all around
The noise only in my head
I can hear your voice
In every word
Every laugh
Every sigh

A constant virtual presence
Keeping me grounded
Unable to drift to reality
Giving me peace
Tranquility
Sanity

Right now you're gone
In a distant land
Cut off from me
I still love you
Miss you
Choose you

The silence is swallowing me
Your voice but a whisper
Only in my memory
Longing to see you
Hold you
Touch you

Soon you will return
I can't wait for that day
I will be free of the silence

Although I loved you once in the silence
I loved you even more when you set me free

Hurry back and release me

Every Person has a Color

Every person has a color
I can see it on them, in them, through them
It lingers in the way they move
Pulses in the way they breathe
Cascades with every emotion

Green, the color of me
A mixture of both cool and warm
Cool for the nature
Calm, Collected, Caring
Warm for the temperament
Lively, Loyal, Loving
A blending into being
Green, the very center of my soul

Look me in the heart and you will see it there
Rough around the edges in mind and body
Every movement calculated and permeated
Each beat flowing through me, in me, on me
Every person has a color

Even me

Heart Journey

Your Home is where your Heart is
My heart has always been with you
Ever since you opened its glass windows and peered inside, you took ownership of the contents within.
So journey into my heart
You will find my love for you there

I met you and the transparent glass panes started quivering
Knowing. Hoping. Waiting
Feeling your presence drawing closer
Longing to be opened
Letting out the love never shared
Wishing to be mended in the cracks

You touched my heart and the windows bent to your will
You quickly jumped inside before they knew what was happening.
You calmed my heart's fears like a child afraid of the dark.
You brought the light to shine again
You crooned my heart to beat confident once more
You didn't even know what was in store

A heart once walled, now crumbled.
A heart since gated, now unlocked.
A heart of broken glass, now mended.
A heart darkened, now enlightened.
A heart lonely, now a pair.

The Journey continues as memories are made
Constantly playing over in each pane of fragile glass.
Before where there was nothing, there is life, love, hope.
My heart will never be the same again.
So, tread gently as you go through the chambers
If you break the glass, it may be irreparable.

Though I won't forget
I can't wait
Your hers
Forever

Water Bucket

Some days I feel like a water bucket
that has taken the trip to the spigot too many times.
Each time never fully empty

Water is poured in seemingly endlessly
The carrier expecting me to bare all of the water given
Even though I am at my limit.

Water spills over the top and collects on the floor
Tears pouring from my rim
as I wait for the water to stop.

It never does.

PTSD

I've wrote you many poems, but this will be my last.
I don't want to waste the creativity on you anymore.
You aren't worth the struggle.
But, I will write to you one last time.

The thoughts of what you did to me never fully vanquish.
Little moments spark memories etched into my brain.
I can still hear your breathing.
I can still see your eyes in the dim light.
I can still feel your hair on my face.
I can't handle the memories.

Please stop torturing me like this.
Time is not healing this wound.
Stay away and don't come back.
Denying that you are at fault makes you look weak not me.

I'm bleeding out my feeling,
my feelings, my feelings.
I'm bleeding out my feelings,

Don't bleed out all your feelings,

Empathy

I can't bear to feel your pain anymore.
Every class we have together feels the same
Your emotions wash over me like an un-dammed river
This hole where my heart was is a gaping wound
The tears flow easily, because my mind has no time to stop them
Reeling from the sudden impact, I cannot speak
Why you feel this way, I do not know.
I don't even know who you are.
All I can do is pray for you and hope it helps.
Maybe someday I'll fill in the blanks,
but for now, I suffer in silence.

Halloween

On Halloween I can feel normal again.

It's dusk.

Hundreds of kids run around in costumes.
Teenagers are covered in makeup and fake blood.
I can remember when the scars weren't real and the blood was still fake,
But on this one day I can blend in.

Nobody can see enough detail to doubt my stories.
The dusk hides my lies.

On the day when everybody else is pretending to be something that they are not, I can actually be myself.
Parading your children around with false identities taking candy from strangers is normal;
Battling inner demons however is not.
My everyday is Halloween.

Four

 One is tender-hearted.

 She is the talkative one.

 Communication is her outlet in life.

 The radio talker, poetry writer, song singer

 She breathes life into the room with every word that she speaks into existence

 One feels lonely sometimes.

 She needs others to command her heart beats now and again.

 She forgets that she commands the room with her smile.

 Without her the environment would be grey and silent.

 Her color is pale mint, a naturalist in essence, vibrant in beauty, but pastel in tenderness.

 One is truly unique

 An extrovert exterior and an introvert interior

 Thriving on touch and generosity

 One

  

 Two is strong

 She is the bold one.

 The decision-maker

 Without her nothing would ever be accomplished.

 Her bluntness comes from her inner strength, a past necessity.

 Two is soft on the inside.

 A true heart lies deep beyond her dry wit and masked face

 A wealth of compassion can be found there, ready to spring up when called for

 Sometimes she forgets to breathe in the emotions of humanness.

 Cleanly in habit and face, she orders her life

 Two is brown in color.

 She is as natural as the earth, A necessity for growth and support

 Two

  

 Three is understated

 Her subtlety is profound

 But every so often she pops to life and makes the room laugh.

 She is a precious flower.

 Tender, gentle, and delicate

 Three is the quiet one, but she is calculated.

 She is graceful and smooth in all she accomplishes

 People intimidate her, but unnecessarily

 For she is stronger than she thinks she is.

 Sweet, and never bitter, she is a true caring friend.

 Three is purple in color.

 Deep in shade, but light in heart.

 She complements all the other colors, each relationship different.

 Three

Four is loving

She is the understanding one.

Empathy incarnate, she holds the world's problems withing.

Always ready to lend out her heart 

She walks in the shadow of things.

Sometimes assumed introverted and quiet

She surprises those close to her with bursts of wit and laughter.

A lively, lovely personality despite the scars on her heart

Four finds the good in all and nurishes the soul.

She is gentle and kind, but defensive of those she loves.

Four is blue, a shade that changes in each light

Slate, baby blue, cyan, she adapts

Four 

 One plus Two plus Three plus me is four.

 Four is a perfect number, for each is never truly alone. 

{The "Four" stanza was written for me, about me, by a truly beautiful soul}

Poetic Beginnings

This is going to be a running log of my poetry for anybody who would like to keep up. I may not post all of the poetry I've written here. Some of it is not for everybody's eyes. But a majority will be posted.
Most of the poetry I write is on a website where "contests" take place to win invisible trophies. So, a lot of my poems are based on prompts. The prompt will be at the bottom if you're interested. If you'd like to get to know me better, or take a look into my past, or if you're just bored and need something to do, here ya go lol.
Thanks for reading :)
