Memories

Peering out the window and a thought suddenly appears.
What if all I knew and once had was to disappear…
People evaporated, memories faded,
Pictures turn fuzzy and dis-coloured not even shaded.
Friend's turn in to strangers families become forgotten.
Fantasies erased, sweet dreams become rotten.
Them spontaneous events cancelled and never scheduled to show.
All them feelings of love, loss, passion and despair that i will never know.

As I continue to stare another thought arises.
Remembering all I have done, all those good times and those wild surprises.
People that I have loved, the memories cherished.
I remember people who entered my life and those who have perished.
The laughs shared the fights that broke out.
The arguments that occur that now I couldn't even tell you what they were about.
The love and friendships made and those heartfelt words shared.
Letting that person know what they mean to you and finding out how much they really care.

As I peer through the window pains.
I can see my reflection of thoughts precipitate like rain.
Just as my friends I can see the sun disappear and return once again.
These are the memories I will carry everywhere with me as if they were my chain.

1ness

This is for the ones who post on social media, sit back and count the likes and comments. This is for the ones that stare at the sky, talk to the moon and dangle their hopes on a whooshing comet. This is for the people who over think themselves out of their minds. This one is for the people who long for the old and simpler times. This one is for the people that are trying to control the uncontrollable. The ones who are stand offish, guarded and unintentionally, defensively unapproachable. This is for the ones who use the past as a reference for what will happen next. The same ones that just sent an ambitious, brave but risky text. This one

Expectations

The pressure keeps me going, Yet holds me back. The thought isn't comforting— It feels like an attack. The sort that keeps me up at night; Why my fingernails are short. Like a dark and looming blight; A disheartening exhort. Better, better, better! The expectation is quite blunt. Never, never, never... Exactly what they want. I'm not the person I want to be, Due to expectations. Under the eyes that never see— My pain is their creation.

Accidents Happen

"Fell down the stairs", The classic line. She gives this one Each single time. The doctor sighs And shakes his head, He looks at me Laid on the bed. "You clumsy girl, Why can't you learn To walk down stairs Without concern?" I look at him, I know the drill, Apologise And say "I will". He gives that look, The kind that says, You're lucky to have A mum that cares. "Take your lolly, And go home now. Mummy will keep You safe and sound".

The Chance

He tore me down He made sure I was never found He inflicted those scars He locked me in those bars He hid me from you I hid the pain he insued He screamed at me I made sure I did not breathe I carried on like life was fine He made sure that I was in line I did every thing that popped into his head He made sure I was lead His abuse is becoming more than I can bear Talk against him- I wouldn't dare Then a chance- it now called I would run away I would never fall I ran away from this place I made it like a race It did not matter the cost As long as I was lost Keep Running.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

Words to Emotion

I wish I could tell you I was doing okay the words and emotions would be one in the same I want to smile and feel the happiness rush through me what a world it would be if my emotions followed the words that I wished them to be.

Broken

I'm not broken, Just a little bent. All those words you've spoken, Just left me a little dent. My heart isn't shattered, It just has a crack. Sore, bruised, and battered, But my tears I hold back. Please don't worry about me. I'm fine, I swear. I just want you to see, That I'm still able to be repaired. Even though I'm hurt, damaged, and weakened, Even though I've felt so much pain. It doesn't mean I'm truly beaten, It just means that I'll need a little help again.

i drank the poison from your lips, i dug my fingers in the cracks between your ribs, held tight: a living vice and prayed that we would last the night. (but we suffocated in the cages of our bed covers, cold like the surface of the moon.)

The old man in the park

There's an old man sitting on a bench in the park. A scruffy dog by his feet, on his lips a witty remark. Not a tooth in his mouth, but he smiles anyway. And if you ask him why, this is what he will say: “I have a song in my head, and a smile on my face. I have lived a full life of both sorrow and grace. I have love so plenty, and stories to share. And I live my life without a worry or care.” His wrinkles are a map of a long, lasting life. Of hard work, three sons, and a now deceased wife. His hearing may be bad, and his vision turning grey. But if you ask him, this is what he will say: “I have seen my share of wonders

To the Lonely

To those who choose loneliness To support their pride May you someday have Nothing left to hide To those who prefer solitude To loss and broken heart May you someday learn that love may hurt But is a healing art To those who choose to stand above The mass of false affection May you someday be held close by one With a real, sincere connection To those who choose independence Over leaning on a lover Or a friend, or a brother May you one day bear a burden That alone you cannot bear And give the ones who love you most A chance to show they care To those who are rejected But cannot seek love anew May you realize there is someo
