Cinderella
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

i got flowers oncei am lonely.
i received flowers once
and i placed them
in a vase til
the petals all browned
desiccated
and turned to dust
on the glass of my bureau.

i have never gotten flowers since.

i spend my days
with a boy
a man
whom i love far beyond reason
and he holds me in his arms
and holds me together.

i bite my nails
and pull my hair
over the moment when he
inevitably
feels the disenchantment
fall over his body,
all clean lines
and smooth shapes,
and realises that leaving
the worst thing
would be
the best thing.

i am lonely
and even with a hand to hold,
and even with a cloak of security
bunching around my shoulders
and hiding my thighs,
i feel
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
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
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.

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.

This is what makes me different.
It is what makes me both distant and compassionate.
It is what makes me both tired and creative.
It is what makes me both sassy and awkward.
It is what makes me both fairly normal and completely insane at the same time.

This is what makes me amazing.
It is what gives me my talents and achievements.
It is what gives me my intelligence and ideas.
It is what gives me my humor and individuality.
It is what gives me my passion and dedication.

This is what makes me flawed.
It is what makes me confused and anxious.
It is what makes me exhausted and frustrated.
It is what makes me uncertai
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

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.
bullshit.
i learnt that word
when i was three
but every time i said it,
my face hurt and mom's hand fell.
God will put you

do you want that?
i knew better than to say it again.
ii. you're an estimated
fallacy, the perfect
misconception.
you don't need to exist

they make you real with
dancing tongues behind
a crowd
of murmuring lips of
god's will.

i sang songs, whispering
prayers only you

if you truly are

then there are no secrets

you'll hear her the way

the day you left,
your cobweb dress clung to you in ways
that i would dream about for years,
in hot, fevered nights
when the moon thought it might burst

and even the wind wailed your name.

ii.
i remember how you called make-up war paint,
and you drew it across your face like a message
i could never decipher;
i remember how i got goosebumps when i heard
your heels clicking across the floor at 3am
when you finally got home and slipped into bed;
i remember longing for you with every fiber of my being,
feeling separate from you even when our clothes lay on the floor
and your fingernails dug into my shoulders
and your toes curled

.:WANTING:.I am wanting to be someone else~

I am wanting to rearrange my face~

I am wanting to change my eyes~

I am wanting to peel my skin~

I am wanting to make my scars disappear~

I am wanting my nightmares to stop~

I am wanting to hear a different song in my head~

Quoted question in my head "How does it feel to want?"

My continuous reply "When I am dead I'll have what I want!"
FearThe crackle of the twig still echoes in my memory
The sinister sneer with the maddening eyes burned in the forever
Silence was my friend as I listened to the onset

Thudding of thunderous footsteps
The screeching of the twig as it's dragging across the floor
Heaving of stagnant breath, coming closer
Disappointment looming in the corner as I didn't cower

Panic riding in waves as I fled to safety in the attic

When the hinges cried their siren song
Light spilled like milk into the darkness
Cobwebs clung to my brow, stiffling the scream
As the banisters hid my still healing frame

His sluggish entrance was in caution
Eyes full of hatre
What shall we do?  Slain because to vain
 Punishment for being simple
 Babies hungry and in disregard
 Mothers with needles hinging in the vein
 Fathers steering thoughts to perversion
 Sisters and brothers rotting in stupidity

We are the product of what has been set before us, lessons learned from those around us.
We take life for absolution yet know it is fleeing and continue to abuse ourselves.
We look to others to resolve an unknown force of power.
Lazy my heart has become, pumping the pain of my own life that has been uninspiring.
I stand here in this mirror with my very own reflection, I don't see the beauty in me.
I can feel the pain of
Quilt of PainStealing the breathe of innocence
Dampening the brow of good fortune
Playing a hand in a losing game
Gambling away the cares of love

Fashioning a quilt of pain
Years becoming a binding stitch
Patches of lost youth
Murmurs of adults staining into the fabric

Electric vibes
Sneering whispers
Cracking of water
Burning, feverish blistering skin

Wicked snaps
A slithering jingle
Tears in the dark
Sinister thought

Paper squares dancing on the tongue
Consumption of hallucination
Fingers parading over the brain
A heartbeat exploding

The music playing the final credit
Then silence
A held breathe
A silent choir

What has this all

Me to You

:iconmisplacedfox:

My heart rests upon the spear of your desire.

My body aches from the daggers of your touch.

My nerves rise to hear your thoughtless words.

Comatose with ignorance, I give me to you!
:iconmisplacedfox:
it was odding typing this up ...
not much focus from me
but after I read it- I like it.

Feedback would be awesome, it is simple yet questionable.
