It was raining when the fire started

Kind of ironic

The water

meant to put out the flames not being enough

You were inside the house

So was your

mom

and

dad

and

dog

Did you realize?

When you stepped into the doorway after school today waving to me

Yelling that you would see me tomorrow

That you would break that promise?

That you were never going to leave that house?

Only the ...

When I was younger and by that I mean days ago.

I thought I had all the facts

Yes

Things were starting to strain around the edges

And Yes

Maybe people were starting to snap

But I convinced myself It was growing pains

Adjustments were being made and it would just take a minute to get used to it all.

But then I start to hear things

Hear things no one’s ever told me,

but everyone else s...

You’d be really proud of me

Today I sat down and did all my homework

My grades still suck, but progress right?

_ delivered_

One of my friends invited me out today

I said yes

It’s been a while

_ delivered_

The coffee shop on corner got torn down

I’m gonna miss it

That was our favorite spot.

Im scared

I don’t want to die

I don’t want to die

I don’t want to die

Not yet

Please God

Not yet

I’m not ready

I haven’t done enough

I wasted my time

Sitting staring at a screen

I wanted to learn

Learn _everything_

Poems

History

Math

Art

Language

_Everything_

And I wanted to love

And be loved

In a way more that friendship

To be held

and to be chosen

I wanted to lov...

A star from the night sky

tracing constalations on my back

An angel from the heavens

Weaving love in the places I lack

The sun and the moon

shining on me

Cupids radiant smile

you’re making me everything i want to be

You look And see

You hear And listen

Too beautiful

Blurring my vision

Feels to good to be true

Maybe i’m dead

Even so I’ll love you forever

My goddess in a mortal bed...

When I first saw you I knew

You are perfect

Nothing marring your beauty

And it was up to me to make you amazing

Live up to your potential

I am your guide

Teaching you to live your life

When I barely know how to live mine

Teaching all my mistakes

Sharing all of my trauma

Your eyes look at me

Glistening

peaceful

Will it be tamped out by this broken world?

I pray not

I’m not rea...

-Good Morning America-

Today is the first time in months that we've looked up

Staring at the ground

Too preoccupied in our precious lives to look up and see around us

Oblivious

-Good Morning America-

Someone wake our Nation up

tell us to look around

take it all in

What are you gonna do about it?

-Good Morning America-

How long are you gonna wait?

sit by watch

watch as the scenes play

Tell me a happy story

Please

One to get away from it all

Tell me something magical

beautiful

Something far away from here

Tell me something real

Honest

Something almost to good to be true

Tell me a happy story please

A prince and a princess

A beginning and and ending

A happily ever after

The clouds are grey here

Dark

Brooding

Sad

There’s still anger, resentment, frustratio...

People are talking

Inside my head

Screaming

Screaming

Screaming

I can’t hear myself think

And yet the doctors say it’s fine

It’s a figment of my imagination

Thoughts are pouncing in every conversation every thing I say every interaction i have with anyone

And yet

The doctors say i’m fine

My legs and arms keep shaking

Chaos to keep the calm

always moving to stay still for you

The do...

My feet are clinging to the ice

Every step harder than the last

Only a little further

Till i’m there

Til I’m home

The cold is biting

at my ears

nose

eyes

Every inhalation

A fight

That i’m not winning

But Only a little further

Till i’m there

Til I’m home

Heading towards the center

The cracks at my feet leading me

Cold air billows from my lungs

Making another cloud in front of ...
