Poems from Frankie B.
My name is Joseph Benitez, I often use the name Frankie Benitez as a writing alias. I love to write about the world around me and how the world and the people and experiences in it have shaped me as a writer and an artist. I am a singer/songwriter so many of my poems are written in a verse/chorus/verse type of format.
We’re breathing but where not alive.
We’re talking without making a sound.
World in view, but we are blind.
Riding high, hearts left on...
Living in a plastic fantasy.
Living in a dollhouse, playing reality.
Painted to be a new identity.
Don't smile, don't see, don't hear,...
I feel like a part of it all.
The world used to stand so tall.
But we were so quick to fall.
We hung ourselves. We paved the way.
We shot...
I don't understand anything at all.
I stood on mountains now I feel so small.
You touched me but I can't feel.
I see you there but you're...
We all want to be the cool kids now.
Throw on a leather jacket.
Perform your lines then take a bow.
Throw on your darkest shades.
Walk in...
