Princess
of a darker people
than I.
Sara,
woeful Wednesday’s child,
slighted by God
are your ears
and eyes –
glittering, useless
black diamonds.
The video loads
Slower than a snail
But once it does,
You wish it hadn't
"Hey guys! It's me,
Apollo,
stone
i live in a cold world with my cold hands and the cold bodies around me
creating creatures i'll never hold
statues fill my dinner table and if i imagine they are talking to me
they are
You give me comfort in everything you do.
Your words dance around in my head like a cloud of dazed smoke.
I don't wince at your touch, even when I don't want to be touched.
You're the exception to the rule.
A baby. The burgeoning garden and the fading day,
“You’ve gotten so big!”.
A shadow stretched taught, the gradient moon,
a falling leaf.
How many times will I be born? And in whose arms will I be held?
No, listen.
Heavy hands press down my shoulders
Study harder, swim faster.
My feet shuffle forward obediently
No fight, no flight.
When I started making decisions on my own,
That’s when I first realized,
I was growing up.
When I applied for college,
Left home and moved into the dorms,
Set up several ‘back-up’ alarms,
Riding the train by myself to me was the biggest sign that proved that I was finally moving up in the world. A sign that I was moving into adulthood.
I am a seed sprouting in both infused unfertilized and fertilized soil
No one can really fathom the highest potential that I could achieve
Only after I, the seed, has proved to weather the storms and turmoil
Life may be easy,
Life may be hard,
And you'll always wonder,
How it ever came to be.
Life may take them away,
Life may make you astray,
And you'll always wonder,
Why it ever came to be.
It was then
When the skyscrapers seemed smaller
That I realized that I had grown taller
A shrinking metropolis
An appropriate tribute to the moments passed by
With rust from time
I was a girl who was afraid
I'd walk in fear and walk in shame
Left, right, left, right, just keeping straight
Don't make contact, or you'll be made
A fool for being human too,
spent my whole life
in holes of emotion
trying (failing) to unlearn fragility
until i fell into petals of blooming words (poetry)
until i learned delicacy / shattering
the way words scar me

What incites the rise from my rest?
What keeps the beating beneath my chest?
What brings me home like bird to nest
And takes me beyond mountain's crest?
Were I trapped and far away
On a land out in the sea
The most important thing to have
Would be a book, a friend indeed
Though its sentences will never change
Words never will it speak
The one thing that I can’t live without
What would it be?
I could probably do without my family
They’re constant bickering would drive me nuts
Love and warmth isn’t always there with them
I am who?
Who am I?
By your opinion, or mine? By lore or define?
This question is hard, thinking by perspective.
By yours or mine?
Two Different, One Objective.
Every day is spent imprisoned in my own body
I try to change, but nobody ever sees me
Wishing things would go my way, but
knowing they never will
I would like to welcome you to my hell
