Is made of coffee beans

And fresh-baked bread,

Worn leather shoes

And the ocean in your eyes.}

will this be on the test?

english class was her greatest enemy— or perhaps her greatest fear. she hated novels, but despised poetry even more. after all, you can't search wikipedia for the meaning behind that one raven and... what was it? a writing desk? and then, even if she remembered the words of that poem— there's only so much a search engine can find on its own.

reality of unrealistic people

it's funny, the day i decided to let you go, at least for a while, we were holding hands. and my hand was the one holding stronger to yours. and you didn't want to let me go, but your hand was still there lying on mine, cold as death. yesterday i noticed, that when we sit the inside part of my arms are always facing the sky, no scars to hide. the inside part of yours are always facing the floor, so only the ants can see everything you've gone through. i'm always reaching for the sky, when you do your best to hold on to the pavement. you still look at the moon, and i'll always reach for the unreal looking stars. you sti

Society Is Ugly.

Society is ugly. Not you. Beauty is defined by How you act. Not by the number on the Scale. Starving doesn't work. Purging doesn't work. Pills don't work. The girl you see In the mirror is Perfect Just the way she is Now. Don't get upset because You don't match up To the media's Expectations. Cutting won't work. Crying won't work. Dying won't work. Remember this: Society is ugly. Not you.

Self Righteous Suicide

Self Righteous Suicide: We're sleeping, In a cold world, That has long denied the light. We isolate, Each other, As we walk alone at night. We plot, Unholy vengeance, As we dream of endless death, We hate, Our reflections, As we choke away our breath. We sleep, And suffer, Tormented by our dreams. Alone, And frightened, None shall hear our screams. So sick, So vengeful, A taste that is sickly sweet... Let me end, This life, For hope I shall not meet... "Why should we alone cry, when angels deserve to die?" -Chen Yuan Wen, 24th February 2012

You

One tie Bonds two souls, Hate grows. Stronger, stronger, Stronger. I hate you. More than anything, Anything, I hate you. I long to see your body lie, Lifeless. I long for your eyes, To stare without seeing, Forever. I long for your blood to run, Like a river. To stain my hands with murder, Murder, murder, Death. Your death. As much of s blessing it would be, Death is not enough for me, And my Hate, My true pure Hate Remember… My only reason for your continued life, Is what is left of my sanity. But I will find a way to hurt you. To kill you. To kill, To kill. Our tie won’t last And then… My Hat

Lesbian

My thoughts wandered back into my fourth grade mind frame. She had beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, And a perfectly white smile that reflected the sunlight like a mirror. She was a good teacher, mmmhmmm, good to look at, And I even knew it back then, Before I knew I was a lesbian. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Ranbows are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, And so am I! My thoughts wandered back into memories of Sam, my first girlfriend. She was shorter than I was, with wavy black curls, And with hazel eyes that seemed so enchanting, And she had beautiful pale white skin, mmmhmmm, lovely girl, And I knew it

Poetry

I found meaning In words so unspoken, And the places No eye catches. In the shade of behemoth movement, Watching a life Behind the borders of mind, Without a breath or word A reason to question the air above my head. How I breathe And am held down, And crawl through forests Still as the sky. Release burden, And listen to what was always there Between branches and channels, And breathe. Learn from each To know yourself. And the one's you would surrender it all for. Continue with that emblem To reaches Out of corners. Make the road your own. Forget each curve And listen in silence. There we fi

4 am

I’m trying not to let it consume me, but it’s 4:05 am, and I’m staring at the ceiling. Bitterness wets me tongue, and I lick my parched lips. Nothing is heard throughout the house except for the soft hum of the water heater, doing work nobody sees. Somewhere in the distance, there’s a car driving down the road, although I can’t imagine who in their right mind would be driving at this time. It’s 4:06 am, now, and I can feel the beginnings of a migraine developing on the left side of my face. Maybe count backwards from 100? But it’s too late now – my brain is already running. I&#

Drip

Drip. Drip. Goes my heart. I'm loosing emotions fast. I can't seal a leak with a band-aid, so I'll wait for the storm to pass. Eco. Eco. Goes my life. I'll never come first in someone's heart. So leave me as an abandoned project, bound to fall apart. Bang. Bang. Let me in. I can't take the cold anymore I'm tired of being alone and left behind locked doors Drip. Drip. It goes again. Sealing it is getting tough. Drip. Drop. Make it stop. My heart has had enough.

grief

we were happy together. i still remember your warmth. your laugh. your smile. your love. that's why.... i don't understand. every day, i'm reminded of you, even if it's in some very little way. seeing the swings or lovers holding each other close. i always remember. because you... you were my everything. how could you have done this? why did you believe so adamantly that this would be the best path to take? now i'm left with the little pieces of myself, trying to fix them. you left me behind... and yet, i don't hate you. i can't. though you're gone, i find myself missing you more than anything else. i loved you. i trusted you. i wanted t

Court Ships

Lip split, quick wit, lyric spit. Shoulder slouch, safe slump slide back, and the cel-shade mind fuck chest punch of every word that claws its way up that coffee drenched throat, every cluttered boxcar train wreck scratched out onto cheap pulp paper. That fiercely beautiful brain forced into frantic fist spasms, and the brittle, brutal art created by having a pen between your fingers instead of a knife or a needle or nothing at all. Heart crush possibilities, dodged bullets kept like battle trophies, wounds I'd be honored to wash the dirt from. Just a baby as the wolf runs, but dead and dust as the crow flies,
