My heart,
Built like a gameboard-
Open to all
Multiple pieces, multiple players
A roll of the dice,
A deck of cards.
You serve a strong poker face.
Unpredictable moves,
The opportunity to do what others can’t
Inspires me to win.
This might come off strange and self-serving.
Some might call it a sin.
“Effervescent!' said I, “thing of ghost.”
Back into my memories bewitching
And so it came gently murmuring
Haunting - haunting - haunting!
The air is cold, but not cold enough for snow
Not yet
My heart is broken, but not broken enough for tears
Not yet
You thought you defeated me, but I’m not defeated enough to let you win
Not yet
Don’t give up and never give in
Keep fighting the fight and someday you’ll win
So don’t give up and never give in
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again
This world will not greet you
You hit me hard
You played your cards
You broke a glass
And caught the shards
you broke my heart
tore it apart
You left me here
Nowhere to start
So the story goes
Always one to fall in line,
I learned early to obey.
Silence and respect protect
Against the everyday.
Push me.
Grab me.
Hit me.
Tear me.
Do it again.
Again until I break.
Break me.
Break me!
BREAK ME!
Try and try and try again!
I will win!
I will succeed!
Say "No."
Say "You won't."
say "You are nothing."
Say "It's impossible."
Say all these things.
Say these words!
Say them!
They are but fuel for my fire!
I say "yes."
I am a swimmer.
Jumping into the pool, feeling the water against my skin.
I am a swimmer.
Listening to my coach, giving me words of advice as I compete against grown men.
I am a swimmer.
It's okay to have a bad day
It's okay to have a bad day after months without incident
It doesn't mean all of your hard work was for nothing
It's okay to have another day
Where the floor is lava
You said I'll fail
You said there's no way
You said I'd never make it
But guess what
I'm here
I've made it
I reached my goals
I'm on my way
A girl emprisoned by her own hair,
The vanity unkenned through the land,
The tower's walls concealed each strand,
and the very maiden fair.
For jealousy, for jealousy, was she far locked away,
Poetry can be scary.
Poetry is supposed to be scary.
Digging through thoughts so deep, I cringe.
But poetry can be happy.
Poetry is supposed to be happy.
Poetry is a lot of things.
Being with you is such a treat.
Tell me darling, how ever did we meet?
When I look into your eyes I see nothing but love.
That's when I pull you in for a sweet hug.
Nothing but you and me in my heart.
The man called "duo improv on stage and duet act in the wings"
And I thought my heart had grew wings,
Just to fly straight up out of my chest
And to flutter around the velvet curtains and glimmering table.
I am
a dreamer.
My mind is a playing field
My goals are the starters,
As my oppositions take the bench.
But sometimes they get up
No longer rooted
They get a chance to take part in something
Answering all the test questions correctly
Winning a new car
Eating your favorite food
Starting a new book
Opening presents
The devil sits inside the earth
Spreading
With Triple 6
Triple x
But if the devil loves triples then the Splash Brothers are demons
But they ain't demons there Warriors
Depression creeps into the pores of my skin. It carries weight and all it does is makes me want to sleep.
It burries me into a hole that is very deep. No one understands what I am going through. No one understands me.
If I win a scholarship
What will I do?
Will I go to college and fail
Or will my hopes and dreams come true?
If I win a scholarship
Will I find success?
Or will everything I desire lay to rest
You can't see the part of me I'm most proud of.
The part of me that got up and said, "I can do this."
The part of me that want's to be shown off to everyone.
This part of me is only seen a few times a year.
Looking into the mirror,
Wiping away the tears.
A new day is ahead
And a new face appears.
No one can see past
The cover that is shown,
But nobody really understands
What is called the unknown.
Sitting, watching, model like girls,
Strut in front of me with tight bouncy curls.
Perfect legs and tiny waists,
Seamlessly flawless face.
I can't help, but judge myself,
As I step on the field
and look up in the stands,
I see my fellow classmates
and family clapping their hands.
Pregame music has me
ready to start.
While only warming up,
Finally the time has come to run
Spring time is always filled with so much fun
Laughs and cheers fill me with bliss
Everyone is over joyed and the snow will not be missed.
Why the long face?
You look as if your'e upset.
Pills, potions, elixirs, and lotions won't even help I bet.
Why don't you try and smile?
It couldn't hurt that much.
It's time to focus Lehne.
Get in the racing mindset.
Ports one foot in, and down.
I sit and strap in as fast as I can
Port oars across.
Bow take a stroke.
Weigh enough.
Focus
Veni, Vidi, Vici
I came, strong and fierce, sweeping in faster than the swift Venti,
aye, and stronger than mighty Hercules.
These highway lines burn designs into my focused eyes
eyes focused on a sight that blankets my mind
a blanket of where only comfort resides
This comfort, it's meaning, drowns my perception
I am so dull
In a room that is so dark
I have entered a place where I am so clueless
The ironic title of a Trichotillomaniac is one not filled with pride,
More like anxiety
Which is the quite ironic part considering the fact that
That is all that the disorder is
I walked a mile to high school everyday.
I sat for six hours.
I learned about subjects
that I didn't care about.
When school was over
I walked a mile home
and spent my own time
doing more work.
Picture yourself being on top of the world, winning every battle that has come to you with quick in easy fashion. Now with all that glory and fame you are defeated by someone who now has your spot, glory, and fame. What do you have in mind now?
What Do You MEAN I'm Suspended?
Im not allowed to say that in class?
Im not allowed to say that thinking about taking my life isn't me being a coward but instead you being inconsiderate?
The strive you have to have to do your dreams ,
While the dollar bill appears and disappears in your wallet,
The scheme, yeah they get you ,
Raise you up then they forget you or have you forgot yourself?
I still don’t understand why you left,maybe I never will
The confusion is crippling,I keep going downhill
My mind is cloudy,like I’m mentally ill
Why can’t I stop my thoughts,I need a sleeping pill
As days go by,I sit here thinking to myselfabout that one special person in my life;YOUGod has picked me to love & cherishone of his angelsSent from the golden gates of heaven.
Keep going, keep pushing; but in what direction?
Everyone out here is trying to teach a lesson
You can't teach those who have already been taught what you're trying to teach
Mix, Match
Switch, Swap
The mysteries don’t ever stop
Flip, Flop
Criss, Cross
You’ll solve ‘em, now won’t ya boss?
Toss, Catch
Fail, Win
Your ego is a savored sin
