1. Singularity
I am alone
With nothing more then myself
Sadness envelopes me
2. Tears
Times of sadness
Empty feelings take hold
Arrivals of little ones
Rapid changes, too fast for words
Salty left-behind streaks
3. Schooldays
Open my locker
Ch ch chc
Shuffle off to class
Shwish shwish
Head in my hands
Zzzzzz
Paper air plane in my hair
Ahhhh!
I sit up, unhappy
Rawr
4. Useless Time
Happy
Smiles, laughter, friends
Overwhelming enjoyment fills my soul
But then
The sadness sinks in as I think
Of our time
Wasted
5. Existence
What if I’d never existed?
Who would even care?
When would I come into existence if at all?
Why am I even here, if I’ve not got a purpose?
If you’d never seen me, would you ever miss me?
8. December 14
Sadness prevails
Her face downcast and dreary, mascara streaked down her pretty face
Head fallen
Shoulders drooped, shuffling about
Her fist clenched, her feet heavy and dragging the ground
A steady heart beat, a clear mind
Grumbling stomach ignored
Horrid, awful, shadowy doubt
The unthinkable has become the past
9. What Friends?
Friends, posers, haters
All around me sit
Food flung, trays smacked
Window-less rooms, happy faces, but it’s only temporary
Words yelled, quietness settles
Trudging off, back to the abyss
10. Puddles
Mud caked on my entire body is drying, it’s squishy wetness becoming coarse and hard
Food cooked over an open fire, its smokey taste fills my mind with memories
The smell of burning wood, of the dancing fire
Shadows tossed around like dolls, they cover everything in the harsh light of darkness
The cricket’s chirp their sweet lullaby, while the whippoorwills sing their love songs
11. Lindsey & Me
Lindsey and me
Talking, lunch, stupidity
Silly, happy Lindsey
Hours of time spent doing nothing
People, God
Together.
12. What is fun?
Fun is getting muddy and jumping in the puddles anyway
Fun is dancing in the rain just because you can
Fun is being lazy and simply doing nothing
Fun isn’t getting caught red handed
Fun isn’t caring what other people think
Fun isn’t holding back, you’ve got limited time
13. Who?
Poems, video games
Hugs, laughter
Adorable, lovable, awesome
Light snow that blankets everything and turns it into a brilliant wonderland
Endlessly sweet.
14. Music Played
Music Player, Whirrrrr
It’s loud, it’s quiet, it’s relaxing
On a comfy bed with a closed door
Rest my mind, puts me at ease.
15. Flight
Above the houses
Over the tree tops
Through the puffy clouds that mist us with water
Down to Earth we float, hand in hand
Up I sit, my dream a foggy memory
16. Where I’m From
I’m from Legos and mud puddles. Trucks and grey cloud-covered skies
I’m from the cold snow spotted ground
(White, blindingly bright, chilling me to the bone)
I’m from the golden honeysuckle
With it’s sweet taste
And the old peach tree
Which has now been torn down
I’m from Christmas mornings and Easter sunrise services
From blue eyes and brown hair
I’m from Roberts and Marys.
From prank pullers and daredevils
I'm from You ask too many questions and You’ll get smaller when you get taller
From weekly church services and youth group meetings
I’m from small towns, old country roads and run-down houses
The sweet smell of fudge, and the aroma of homemade biscuits
The uncle who’s disease took his life at such a young age
From the fire that almost destroyed my great grandmother’s soul
The closet with the photos stored safely away
I’m from the faces I’ll never know, yet they’re the reason for my existence
The odd-balled girl in the photo, commemorating her embarrassment
From the grades that have fallen
And from the happy fakeness that surrounds me
An odd assortment of poems that I created. -shrugs-
