I Need New Sneakers

I've been running for six days straight and I'm losing hold of reality but I'm told it's never too late. I want to control gravity and I'm losing hold of reality. They tell me I'm insane because I want to control gravity. Life's different than it once was. They tell me I'm insane because I express myself differently. Life's different than it once was and I'm unsure I can go back. I express myself differently and I'm often misunderstood and I'm unsure I can go back. My feet are becoming tangled and I'm often misunderstood but I'm told it's never too late. My feet are becoming tangled. I've been running for six days straight

Sonnet X

Blood stained walls surround muffled screams for help, my shattered arms attempt to move in vain, I try to scream managing a mere yelp, Stuck in a room to die, life surely slain. I release what I believe my last breath, The beating of my heart slowly dies down, Patiently awaiting my sudden death, Just one more lost soul in a dirty town. I could hear my last seconds ticking by, A flash of light jump starts my battered heart, Then she grabbed my hand, looked me in the eye. leaving hand in hand, given a fresh start. A promise she would never leave again, Sparked a twinkle in my eye, a smug grin.

Theme Series 8: Friend and Foe

You take my hand, face filled with disgust, Hope is given up, our hearts begin to rust. Dreams dissolve as reality begins to sink in, That the journey is what counts, not the win. If we devote our lives to being the best, In the end we will be left with one big mess. As our lives fade into the history books, Nothing to remember us by, not even looks. We have wasted so much time on a never ending task, Let us slow down and take some needed time to relax. It’s kinda funny how enemies can turn into friends, When a bitter rivalry stops and a new story begins.

Now and Then:New Series 1

You drown me with your anguish, Suffocated by your guilt-ridden lies. Truth is too much for you to handle, You never were more than a coward. I know I’m nowhere near perfect, My flaws are easily spotted. But look in the mirror for yourself, You’ve always been a hypocrite. Change is something I fear most, Yet I welcome it with open arms. You’re not going to outrun it, I can’t believe you are so foolish. We use to walk through the park, And skip rocks across the water. We would splash in puddles, tell secrets, But now I don’t even know you. Ignorance is no longer bliss, You haven’t learned from you

Within: The Beginning Pg. 2

Martin's eyes flickered open and shut just as quickly. He covered his eyes with his tanned hands and thought about how he was going to handle this situation. He hadn't even been in the position of protector for one day yet and he had already made a mistake; a mistake that could have left him in a much worse situation. Martin took a sip of his tea and drew in a deep breath as to clear his mind. He looked across the table at Elina and said to her, "I think we should get going if that's ok with you." The truth was that Martin was scared, not only for him, but for Elina also. He hadn't expected her to be tracked down so quickly and he knew they h

Who Are You Trying To Fool?

I peel back my pockmarked skin and claw away at my imperfections. I wish to know what it feels like to be stared at; not because I'm a freak or burn people's retinas but because they're drawn to me. Struck by my eyes that promise unrequited love and legs that could take you anywhere you dream of. ------ My hips may not lie but I can guarantee you my lips do and my road maps will leave you off track and wandering aimlessly. I'm not your role model or tour guide or best friend and I hope you know that when you need me, I won't be there. ------ I pluck my eyes out and wander around so I can see what it's like to be blind. I've always had a d

My Words Are All I Have

Her eyes were brown and he liked brown more than green or blue because brown eyes were always so underappreciated. She thought they were ugly and boring and that he was crazy for liking them so much and maybe he was but her eyes didn't have to be vibrant or the color of the high tide; he only cared that they looked at him the same way he looked at her. She had piercings and a tattoo and his parents never would have approved of her but him and his parents never really were on the same page anyways. She was the only person who could ever cheer him up and if you knew him, you would know that making him smile was an accomplishment in itself. She

Seattle Nights

Coffee shops, raindrops, My heart stops. Phone calls, shopping malls, You’ve broken down these walls. Romantic dates, a warm embrace, Entwined are our fates. Sinking ships, pressing lips, The way you move your hips. Smooth strides, my heart glides, My nervousness now hides. On my mind, pain in rewind, You are the perfect find. Time to waste, off to space, Always making my heart race.

COLLAB: TWENTY TEN

Today, the autumn wind isn't bitter. I walk down a path of memories, but only one of them belongs to you. A chaste monument of your life, one that only I ever pay any heed to. On your anniversary, I come here and remember everything. Those numbers on the glossy stone make me choked up, my eyes misty. But... I cannot mourn the loss of a life that was never mine to love. 1985-2003. I wipe away the tears from my eyes and my knees buckle as I crash to the ground. My mind recalls the last words you ever spoke to me and the way your lips fumbled with each and every syllable. I think I'll miss that about you more than anything. Normally people w

Oh, Nurse

And we were told that we could fly without wings and breathe underwater without gills. ------ We broke the hands off all the clocks so time would stand still and we turned off the lights so we could become invisible. They say if you lose one of your senses, your others become heightened so let our vision be blurred and ears silenced. ------ Let your smell intoxicate me and release our inhibitions and let our bodies collide and hands run rampant across each other's skin. I want to memorize the map of your body and let us become lost in one another. I want to inhale all your secrets and exhale all my hopes and dreams. ------ I want to be

Ring Around the Rosy

I tried calling your name but I only coughed up ashes and burning embers and blood-stained splinters. The ashes were of a relationship gone to the wayside. Burning embers to try and light the empty hole that remains. And blood-stained splinters from a wooden heart that just couldn't hold up. My lungs are scorched and my lips covered in soot. I haven't spoken your name since.

Stripped of Security

It all began with a simple man, who fell for the girl with a necklace of pearl. (I just want to feel you, so I know that you are real.) ------ You stole my heart from the very beginning; before you said a word, looked into my eyes, or even smiled. I was in love with you before i even knew your name or anything about you. Now i know more than I ever wanted to know about you and hate you for that very fact. (I wish we could have put us on pause and enjoyed what we had. Now we have nothing and I regret ever looking your way.) ------ I sit here with my stomach tied in knots and chills rushing down my spine from thoughts of you; not becaus

Flawless

I find it strange how fast I have fallen, How quickly I started to call you mine. Even now you still give me butterflies, Sometimes I wish they would carry me to you. I’ve never had someone call me cute, Or forgive me for my many faults. You see right past everything else, Your gaze focuses on me and me alone. I pray every night that you are real, That this isn’t just some cruel illusion. The loss of you would be the death of me, You are my life now, nothing else matters. You are my shooting star, my wish come true, Proof that there is someone for everybody. I still remember when you first saw my face, Hidden in the b

Secret 8

I was raised Catholic and went to church every Sunday until i left for college. I don't like Catholicism and can't really stand organized religion and the only time i ever go to church anymore is for Christmas Eve mass. My parents don't understand and expect me to follow blindly. My mom's even told me she failed in raising me and I'm a disappointment because I denied being Catholic and told her I wouldn't necessarily wait until marriage to have sex. I'm not a robot and refuse to believe something just because i was raised that way. Maybe one day i'll actually be able to do something to make them proud.
