he saysto my aching heartand haunted mind as I stareblankly, devoid of emotion or awareness
Far away in mind but close in heart
The time well spent is more than I could need
Yet I’m still feeling the tears I left on your shirt
What’s it to you friend
If I had known you when
we made some mistakes time and time again
So let me tell you what; let me implore you the lesson
as I'm running to my goals
a hill stands in the way.
very tall, very steep,
and ruining my day.
I try to run up it
with every ounce of speed
but then I trip and then I fall
Something in my gut tells me to just run away, move on and find someone less difficult
but then a spark of hope ignites in my heart and says
A letter to the Universe
The first bell, it rang at 8:05
The first day when he stepped his feet on the Holy ground
United States, the land of opportunity

I can feel it in my heart I'm already slowing dying
In my mind…
The thought that counts
I hold this dear
Regardless the gift
The intent is clear
Loving someone, has no price
Its unconditional
What others see as an ocean,
to you is little more than trival commotion.
Like puddle after a crisp rain,
you travese that watery obstacles others have tried in vain.
What others see as a unclimbable wall,
Sometimes words can be tossed,
Their actual meanings lost.
Sometimes words are hand selected,
i’m focused the

Thankful,
a short word denying a bond's regression
a soldier fighting the war
between conformity and expression
When I wake I can
Taste the salt in my tears
Will they ever know how much they mean to me?
How even on the hardest days they could make me smile?
When I was at my worst
when I had no reason to go on,
when I was done with the world,
Shoveling driveways, my ligaments at risk of a deep freeze, I earn my worth.Saving money, temptations of Pinterest, I earn my worth.Studying units, sleep deprivation clawing at the backs of my eyelids, I earn my worth.Building a GPA, drowning in a
Why did you do this to me?
Why did you crush all my hopes?
You took all my hard work
And threw it to the ground
Like it meant nothing.
Do you hate me or something?
Why do you hate me?
I am not a poet,
And when I do I try,
I put myself down,
And give up every time.
I am not a poet,
Though I would like to be.
I find I can never express
My feelings accurately.
Every year,
There's that one person you always stick to.
And drop them once they go to a college, or somewhere else.
If you love them, why can't you put a little more effort?
Put a little effort in me too.
Many misty mornings I CAST into the deep sea my net,
Thinking...perhaps, that ALL my efforts might pay my debt.
We decided to build a house
It was that part of time before school
the leaves had started turning
and the reeds in the swamp had died
But there was still time so my brothers
Hurdle down from the highest bluff my child.
One day you loomed forth from the obscure.
Venture into dirt and sand blank the division who coward.
Do not dare to bawl out to the floor.
I feel so utterly replaceable. I feel like feeling anything at all is dangerous.
As I pursue my career goals, I work my hands until they bleed,
For some extra cash so you see.
As I take care of a cancerous parent,
My needs often go unapparent.
I do not mind; after all, what are families for?
It's so hard for us to operate.
We're broken machines.
There must be a kink in our wires,
or rust in our rings.
Tarnished metal and bent-up parts.
You're my tin man
and I'm your tin girl.
When you say "Goodbye, I love you,"
I just wanna take you away
and show you a better place
than the dashboard and the faces
people make.
At a glance...
Years are
Engraved on the forehead
Eroded by concealer
Souls are
Peering from the eyes
Blocked by avoidance
Ignorance is
Spoken boastfully
To those who will listen
