Waiting for a coach
and four
that never came,
she realized
a ball gown
won't bloom
out of sackloth;
glass slippers
are not dependable
and mice
are best left
to their own devices.
Midnight was never a friend,
and under that suit
he is the same as any other
man.

IcarusSun girl,

the whispering stars
& feathered clouds dance
for you tonight.

Do not let anyone
clip your wings;

you were made for the skies.

Definition of a Writerwrit•er

noun /rītər/

A writer is a person
Who sees the world differently
From a high perspective of understanding
To an easily balanced imagery

They stand at the edge of the cliff
And run that extra mile
To gain what a normal person cannot see
And to obtain the hope that they wish to cherish

A writer is a person
Who buries their ego and places boulders upon it
They learn the rules, follow the rules, and will break the rules
And make writing their own

They lay upon the dusty old ground of a graveyard
And do an annual ritual to free the inspiration that has been pinned down
They want to show their abnormality to everyone

Red DressDon’t put on your red dress
for he doesn’t know the meaning
he doesn’t want the commitment
he doesn’t care for the color.

The red dress you love to wear
that’s stained from wine and beer
but still carries so much meaning
for who could find a second red dress

Don’t go out on your red dress
for the man who wants nothing more
to screw around and doesn’t understand
the meaning behind a simple red dress.

A red dress for when you dance.
A red dress for when you cry.
A red dress for when you need it.
A red dress for when you care too much.

Don’t put on your red dress for him darling
he doesn&rsqu

moonshines in georgiaman on the moon:

giddy with lumps of north georgia seas
greased on the crease of my lips
gravity drips from couch-cavities
when tides belch from below --

burst on the water's edge,
earth's bourbon sailors retch in moonshined ripples
trickled blue murder on their crinkled crimes;
raking water wrinkles like a wayward drunk
stuck on sunken bootleggin' dreams.

it's been a long, long time
since I've drowned your hemisphere
for fishing like a moonraker,
swishing my bait-lines like tobacco's
squished in your shallow gums
before you dare to down my air
breathing in this sincere georgia night.

L.E.S.B.I.A.N.Living on the
Edge of life
Saving myself
Being who
I truly am
As it is all i can be
Never forget that

Broken Birds and Stark PhrasesWe slip and slide and fall
down curves and carrow places.
We cursive at the wall
in our undefinéd spaces.

Disjointed limbs extend
to strumpet our arrival,
to warn who are not friends
we will kill to survive all.

Hung upside-down haunters
hug branches in the Forrest.
Merry nightmare monsters,
Cheery snarling chorus,

Arachnic children know;
you can run but you can't hide
from this disparic truth,
darkness waits for you inside.

Although you seek the sun,
as all creaky spinsters might,
the night can't be out done
and it has you in its sight.

Missing piecesMissing pieces

There are wounds
that never heal; silences
so loud they thunder - I stopped
breathing years ago, that night
the ice took my chest. Since then
I walk in pieces, howling
around my heart.

Blame The ParentsI won't be able to keep a relationship in the future because I'm scared
I'm scared it'll turn out like theirs

I'm a pacifist because I hate watching it
I hate watching them fight

I have PTSD because of their fights
Their fights almost broke up this family

I self harm because they are pushing me over the edge
I was already close to jumping, but they gave me an extra push

I'm always in my room because that's how I run away
I guess that's called "Like father, like daughter"

I only eat one meal a day because he constantly puts me down
Even though he's joking, I can tell he means every bit of what he says

I can't trust anyone because they do

field notesi read some poetry
just for the sound--for the words lilting up and down
and the thick, honeysepia
polaroids unmisting in my head.
those are the poems i never understand
and the only conclusion i can draw is:
there is apparently
some supernova poetic awakening that comes
with the loss of virginity
and basically i need to get laid.

MorningA black cat sleeps in a ray of sun
My coffee is lousy
Another cardboard morning
The day isn't a blank canvas
Waiting to be painted
Its already scrawled with
Yesterday's mad crayon drawings

Smoke drifts up and out of the window
I drink the coffee

The PoetFor the work of a Poet to be truly appreciated
he must write it with his own blood and tears for ink
his soul the sharpened quill to nail the words
like so many specimen of unwilling insects upon the paper.

And once he has bled out
becoming the cause of his own demise
the reader is left behind to digest his soul
so plainly trapped within a cage of words
his requiem written as a love song to his Muse.

from the bottom under the design,
all you see are knots? her honey-like,
crying
voice lulls me to sleep,
that's what we see of God's plan.
just the knots. when in reality,
it's the design on top;
beautiful and flawless that He
has in store for us.

i learnt that word

God will put you

do you want that?
i knew better than to say it again.

fallacy, the perfect
misconception.
you don't need to exist

they make you real with

Monday, Erased and Re-WrittenDawn broke brittle Monday morning, the sky cracked like eggs
(All done in silence beneath the roaring of my tinnitus)
Twenty 'til something and I'm driving out into blazing light
Looking for what, I won't know 'til its found but its
Just so damned bright and quiet and I think of a sniper in the clock tower
Fallen asleep waiting to pick off his targets but how can he sleep
in this goddamned brightness and nothings moving anywhere
Empty streets, has the world called in sick this morning?

Am I awake? Am I alive? Am I in a movie, maybe a character
in someone's book? Why don't I feel anything? Am I waiting for
the writer to tell me how I feel,

Bennett, may you rest in peace.

He was small, wet,
And breathing as if he was trying to hide from me
He was seeable though
The little white spots made him very seeable
Oh, Bennett, Bennett
Where is your mother?
It's dark now, she should be here…
The sun has risen, and he is hungry
His stomach hurts and he feel so cold
He felt so weak, and collapsed
Soon passing out
The innocent little soul, being ripped away from his body
And he began to die
His life being ripped away from the small and new body he had
The innocent little life
Barely, or not even a day old
I hope you rest in peace Bennett
Rest in peace

IndividualityThat town's got no individuality
Not one person has a unique quality
Without choices their lives are boring and bare
They do not have feelings and they don't really care
They're they same, but they don't know another way
They're bound to a routine, and they can't stray away

In the morning...

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
The alarm goes off, it's only 5: 30.
It's pitch black out, and my room's cold.
I slip into some clothes,
And shove my schoolwork into my backpack.
Putting it on my back, it quickly weighs me down.
Coming down the stairs,
I smell breakfast cooking.
It rumbles my stomach, and makes my mouth water.
Laying my bookbag on the floor by the door,
I sit down at the table.
The old wood of the chairs creak as I adjust my weight.
I began to shift my weight around on purpose,
Making a beat out of the creaks.
My mom however told me to knock it off - as she laid down my plate.
Looking at the clock - I only have a few minutes before I have to head out.
I shoved the food down my throat and tidied myself up In the bathroom.
The clock says 6:15.
It's time to go.
Quickly, I slip my Chucks on and grab my bookbag.
I dart outside with my flashlight,
It's still quite dark out.
As I walk up the driveway,
The chorus of crickets hums a simple note; E flat - I think.
I can also hear the crashing of deer antlers down by the creek.
I clap my hands and they dart out in all directions,
I could just hear the crunching of the leaves from under their feet.
As I reach the road - I hear a 'hoo', or was it a howl?
I couldn't tell, but I stayed cautious until the bus came.
Then after I got on and took my seat,
I popped in my ear buds, and I let my music play.

This is my usual morning.
I kinda just wrote this off the top of my heat - so excuse all the errors.
I am now expecting an e-mail from my friend who will be telling me what I need to correct with this xD
