Grateful
for the shit on my shoes
and the shit on my floor
for the pain the the head
when you run out the door
for the ruined rugs
and the ruined naps
Bitter and hot, the coffee slides down her throat.
Soft, tired eyes stare at nothing.
A distant intimacy envelops her.
A mother scrubs at a stain on a shirt.
A tick tock noise from the clock in my room
Knocks my head on and on
Till it wakes me up in the middle of the night,
So I found myself looking right at the ceiling
My body starts sweating
Left and right, front and back people
Stand there. Inching closer to the doors that
Slide. All for
Saving their legs. The ding
Sounds a high pictched tone. A
Sudden jolt forward, everyone ushers
It's not just the sun kissing my cheek and brightening my eyes
It's not just the chime that tells me someone is thinking about me
It's not just the wind flying beneath me as I ride down the hill on my bike
The days of my life is surely like the speed of light. Making the decision of poor preparation is never really that bright. I asked the Lord God in heaven for forgiveness everyday. I feel my sins worry me and my afterlife, O Lord mercy I pray.
Upon a mid-summer afternoon
The curtains find release
Dancing with the wind
Fluttering with the breeze
Silent
i am
Foreging my way through college
no a penny in my pocket
no where to turn
daily i
Look in the mirror and i see me
staring back
at me
i
Redheaded girl, who sits and waits,
For the days of cold to be over.
Whispers of other student's rates,
On the always unnoticeable cover.
The pain she feels is always real,
Wolves in sheep wool.they climb over walls and breach the inner sanctum.infiltration of the darkest depth in your ocean,your seas of troubles are seen and screened.the poor souls don’t even know.
If I aspire to nothing I will be nothing.
If I work hard I'll only be disappointed
But...
If I work for me I will achieve greatness.
If I live to love I shall crash and burn.
Humans are such liars.
We talk about how much we want honesty among us, but then we turn around and lie to the very same people we told that to.
We go to school, we join the clubs.
We play the sports, say it’s not
Your legs were too skinny for your shorts
The day you walked into the room, your cotton shirt
About to billow, as if it could, on the unseen zephyr of your shoulders:
Wake up
eat
go to work
eat
work
eat
sleep
A cycle that sits on repeat
Five days a week
Car is cold? Crank the heat
Same song everyday, don't miss a beat
This is like a non stop roller coaster
With more downs than ups
Everyday it's like eggshells
Not knowing what to say
