That half crooked smile
Oh how I feel
I feel I could climb the tops of mountains
And scream your name
I feel I could live in a box under a bridge and still consider myself
Lucky
I feel I could fall into a rabbit hole and meet a rushed rabbit
Because this feels so unreal
I feel like I could kiss a frog and he wouldn't turn into a prince
Because you're already right here
I feel like I could sprout wings and fly, your lips keeping me
Airborne
I feel understood for once because
You're exactly like me
I feel my cheeks cramp from smiling too much and you're
The reason behind those smiles
I feel the earth spinning beneath my feet

DystopiaDirty water,
corrupted laughter,
cracked dreams,
and broken seams.

Cries in the night
as life becomes a fight
there's just no more light.

Men are trying,
women are running
children are crying
people are dying.

Let's go, he whispered.
I-It's dangerous, she stuttered.
But we can't just stay, they uttered.

Chaos roams the streets
and blood's on the ground like treats.

Dystopia never ends
as society bends.
Life shall be dystopia
and never a utopia.

She Dreams Of LeavingShe sits there by the window.
She stares out into the world.
Something she does every day.
She wonders how her life could be different.

She wishes she could get away.
She wishes that peace could be made.
She wants to leave this place and never come back.
She wants to explore this big old world.

But how could a girl of 17 want such things.
People would always say oh she's young,
She doesn't know what she wants.
But she does know what she wants.

She feels as though the people around her
Do not understand her.
They don't know her.
They will never understand what she wants.

She doesn't fit in with them here.
She just knows that s

My SanityThe matter of my sanity
Is nothing for you to yearn.
Just something for me to know,
And for you to learn.

My mind is cracking,
The flaws becoming apparent.
My soul is shattering...
Splitting me into nothing.

But my bonds...
They hold me together.
They keep me stable...
Under control.

Like a light
In the darkest night,
They lead me to where
I should take residence.

Sheltering my soul,
My mind and my heart
From the evils forces at work...
Saving me from utter destruction.

My twin and my love,
The strongest of them all.
Holding me up
While I don't let them fall.

The matter of my sanity
Is nothing for you to yearn...

i am beautiful

i blink back the tears
with a shaky hand i pick up the lipstick
forcing myself to look in the mirror
i see her

shes ugly
tangled matted down hair
bloody chapped lips
zombie grey eyes
cracked rough skin

i used to be beautiful
until he
beat me
now im here
in this tiny room

i bite my lip
the cracked mirror showed a tearsteaming down the girls face
i shut my eyes
tight
so no one can be let in
they cant get into my mind
thats the only place im free
sane

i feel my shaking hand rise
i feel the soft brush of the slanted
tip of the lipstick zigzaging on my face

over my eye
under my nose
through my lips
cross my brow

A DreamI dream of the sky
Flocks of bird fly
With the sun set
A hand on my chest
Amber eyes caress
I'm lost in her nest

her breath on my neck
its why she's a vex
she makes me a wreck
round luscious hips
show a few tips
then licks her lips

My Forest AfireFire twitches and rolls like waves,
I see it eat away my trees,
Are the children hidden inside?
I notice their quick frantic waves.

I see it eat away my trees,
It burns and swallows hungrily,
Are the children hidden inside
Waiting for the land to vanish?

It burns and swallows hungrily,
I observe it swerve like a snake,
Waiting for the land to vanish,
My body trembles and spasms.

I observe it swerve like a snake,
Its crimson shell trailing ashes,
My body trembles and spasms,
Screams pierce the sky, rending my ears.

Its crimson shell trailing ashes,
Are the children hidden inside?
Screams pierce the sky, rending my ears,
Fire

Broken trusts and mistakes"I trust you
with my heart and soul
You're my forever girl
and I believe in you
I don't care about my fears
that didn't wanna let you in
'Cause I want you to be close like no one other
I want you to be with me when it's getting colder
'Cause I want to feel your happiness as mine
'cause I know you wont hurt me, I know it for sure this time
'Cause I trust you with my all"

I don't know what happened dear
I never meant to do it,
I swear
I always said you could count on me
After all, you're all I see
I always said you were safe with me
and oh my dear, I meant every word
but somehow I stabbed you like a sword
Somehow I broke it

Broken GlassesThe tale began with my trudge down the road.
Hidden faces piercing me; were I some sort of a show?
But I was broken, broken within my heart.
And so I realized too late,
but even before I could have realized, my glasses broke.

If I were to wear them,
would appear the people,
who imitated my friends.
But sculptures too erode; they're nothing anymore,
through my broken glasses.

I once sensed the feel,
were I lost in lost spaces;
for them I wasn't even real.
Nothing more I'll be, they still jeer at me,
while I wear broken glasses.

She did love me once,
such long time ago,
when times were not tense.
But breaking a pledge

Choking on SilenceSilence

Silence and your eyes
watching me
to see what I do next
to see how can I embarrass myself further

Maybe I can shout out
how my lungs feel
when you leave
how they tighten within my chest
I can't do this anymore!

I could tell you
how my arms have the burning desire
to hold you
and never let go

It doesn't matter though
why would it matter?
when I see you pulling away
my hands reach out to grab you
but I catch only air

You've disappeared
Is it the words I've said?
because I can take them back if you want me to
suck the air back into to my lungs
so maybe they won't be so tight anymore

But no, I start to choke
My he

Grandson of MoonFearless of the darkest midnight
I stride through the shadows that find my path
Though evil haunts my every step
I will not let this dark world control me
And the moon calls me to his grandson

The shadows surrounding me
Are the authors of nightmares for many
To me, they are merely shadows
My nightmares are of things worse then the night
And the moon calls me his grandson

As I walk amongst the darkness
I look to the skies for the lustrous one
He delivers the hope I need
I am a stronger warrior for it
And the moon calls me his grandson

Dark redDrink not my blood, for my poluted mind -
can't find a heal

Me, You, An angel -
doesn't have a last sin.

The Two StreamsDrifting down between the riverside trees
Early afternoon sunlight kisses you
As your raft glides over the clear water
Your focus is held by the horizon

In the distance, a split in the river
Presents itself, and you must make a choice,
Similar to one Robert Frost once faced
And like him, you stand in uncertainty
The one stream appears in a wilder form
Verdure bulging over it unrestrained
Keeping the sunshine from touching water
As if it welcomes neither man nor beast
It offers danger... and adventure too.
The other stream seems safer to explore
The plants on either side yield evidence
Of passage made by creatures unharasse

Lost GirlOh lost girl please come back,
You're so out of place,
You have lost your way,
And need to come back.

You can get through this hurdle in life.
You can soar above and make it right.

Oh lost girl this isn't the end.
This life isn't a disaster.
Your life is worth so much more.

Find your passion, find your hope,
Find all the decency left in the world.

It's time to change your ways.
It's time to come back down to earth.

This world is a scary place,
But that doesn't mean you can't change it.
It means you can overcome great obstacles.
It means you can take this poisoned life,
And cure yourself of all this pain.

You Could Have Told MeYou could have told me the truth,
But instead you decided to lie to me.

Come on I'm not stupid,
I know very well that you were lying.
You're not that hard to figure out.

You could have told me that we were over,
But instead you chose to mess with my emotions.

You shouldn't play with my emotions,
Because I may just lose it.

Just because I was fragile a long time ago,
Doesn't mean that I am not now.

You could have told me that you didn't care,
Maybe then I would have left.

You're not worth my time,
if you just don't care.

But this time around I'm telling you.
You're not worth my tears,
and i won't settle for anything less than

Where?Why?

The wind
So loud
Rustling my hair
Whipping at my clothes
It pushes me
Pushes me forward
The light is dim
Stricken by storm in the past
The road ahead
I cannot see
The obstacles there
I'm a scared
Why toy with my mind
You tell me I can face them
But I can't
The wind roars louder
Thrusting my flimsy body
Onto the road
The road extends
The light
Darker than before
I can't
I cannot do this anymore
This is impossible
The wind becomes thunder
An almighty beast of the sky
Showering me with droplets I deserved
Scared for my life
I walk forward
On this never ending road
Why am I here
What am I going to do
Can I get th

Dear mommy
I can't see you
But daddy says you here
In my heart
You are
I can feel you
I can hear your voice
Singing me to sleep every night
I can feel your fingers
Running through my hair
As you brush it
I can smell your expensive perfume
The one grandma got you
You said you wore it
Just to make her happy
I can be you mommy
I can fit into your boots now
I can be just like you
I like these boots
They make me happy
They made you happy
I want to make everyone happy
But they're all sad mommy
Why
Why is everyone so sad
Please tell me
Love

There, yes, the Mask

There
There, sitting atop my vanity
The mask
Yes, yes there it sits
I…
I am in the farthest corner
On the floor
Hugging my knees
Staring
At the mask
The mask that I wore last
Night
The mask that spoke through me
No
It wouldn't come off
It was stuck
I screamed for help
But all that was said
Was my cursed
Lips over their bodies
The mask sitting atop my vanity
Yes that mask
I was not myself
When I wore that mask
I…
I did things I'd never do
Things I've never thought
Stop
Please
Be gone
I'm innocent
It was
The mask

The mask sitting atop my vanity

That Crooked Half Smile

The next morning I trudged to my shower. After, I threw on a striped grey and white over the shoulder T with a black tank top under; skinny jeans and boots that went up to my knees.
When I was ready, I went to see if Jordan was. She wasn't of course. Her pajama bottoms hung loosely on her thin hips. I wanted to yell at her, but Curse scared me by jumping onto my leg unexpectantly.
"Omigod, Curse!" I shook him off my leg then returned my puzzlement to Jordan. "Is sketch picking you up? Or are you ditching?" I huffed with an enormous amount of attitude. She smirked then slammed the door in my face.
I guess that's a you'll see.

Tattered Soul

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Urban & Spoken Word

The dark shadows nip at my feet

slyly leading me to my downfall

the trees speak with wisps of broken words

branches, torn form their core

bind my hands behind

my back

a killing was a burden

living is a hell

death cant be seen

dying bllod before us,

to hard to be watched

so we close our eyes and scream

shreik a blood curdling cry

not for help

not for love

not for a place in that faraway paradise

we call a safe haven

as i kneel there

the shadows nipping at my soul

trees speaking in wisps of broken words

hands binded by branches behind my back

i lift my chin to the darkness

open my eyes to the shadows

listen clearly to the wisps of broken words

break away the binded branches

stand

and let myself plunge

plunge into the endless void

that summoned my tattered soul
