Floating in the ether, weightless, free A dreamlike state, where I should feel glee But as I drift, I feel so all alone In this vast emptiness, I'm on my own No hand to hold, no heart to beat with mine The emptiness consumes me, I'm in decline My thoughts race and swirl, like the stars above An endless void, I'm lost in the ether's glove I search for meaning, something to hold tight A reason to live, to escape this lonely night But as I float, I'm reminded I'm but dust My presence, inconsequential, I must In this sea of nothingness, I'm but a speck My voice a whisper, lost in the ether's deck I long for connection, a human touch But in this void, it's just me and the void so much So I'll float and ponder, till I'm called back home To a world of life, where I'm no longer alone But till then, I'll cherish this untethered space And find solace in the stars and in their grace.
I have sown my lips up
So I no longer have an outlet
For all of these feelings.
All of these very angry emotions
Pulsing through my veins.
While my pride takes a stand
And apologies step aside.
I can no longer be the bystander
Who takes everything you hand her.
I want to layout every emotion
And let it cause all of the commotion.
Ripping hearts and love
Straight into a million pieces.
For everyone needs to know
Just how it feels to be
Molded into everyone's ideals.
To be altered and changed
Into something they are not.
Last year was a broken mirror with shards across the floor
Reflecting my soul right back at me,
Mixed with filtered midmorning sunlight and the air after a rainstorm.
What a beautiful mix, almost breathtaking.
And my life flits across this kaleidoscope,
Like so many blackbirds,
Studies in silhouettes -
Slowly dipping and diving
With the waves of emotion we
Seem to be constantly expressing.
Sometimes I wonder if I could
Put the pieces back together and
Step into that image once again.
Self. Sisterhood. God. Hera. Communism.
Capitalism. Lincoln. Time machines.
Basketball. Grey Pencil. Flowers.
Cures for disease.
Lake Water .
Happiness.
Writing. Walking. Awaking.
Disagreements. Decisions. Enigma. Absolutes.
Present. Absence. Positive along with Negative.
Compassion. Dispassion. Consolation and Degeneration.
Verbs are necessary. Nouns are too.
Empty skies full of clouds.
Dark star filled nights.
Sight.
Retrospect.
Innocence.
I haven't seen All the empty spaces that has yet to be filled.
I haven't heard All of the sounds that will never kill
at the end of the world.
But I have heard the silence, silence that will follo

Be the Change You Wish To See
I want to help the Deaf Community! You see I've always had this odd interest in people, but especially deaf people. In the third grade I taught myself the Alphabet in sign language and since then I've always wanted to raise awareness for the Deaf Community. So that's what I would do. I would open my own Children's Audiology office.

People are so beautiful.
People are so beautiful.
I've noticed it takes some time
To notice this.
Sometimes it's just the way they walk
Or the way they smile.
Or maybe it's how they
Hold themselves when they're angry.
How they nip their lip when they
Are nervous.
Or how they look when they
Just want a warm embrace.
I've noticed sometimes
People are beautiful.
It's like my heart is pushing on the walls I've built around it.
Begging me to let it out.
To unlock the lock and all I can do
Is laugh out loud while...
Telling it, begging it, too stop.
To just let this one be
and give me just a little bit of peace.
But even as I'm telling it this...
All it keeps saying is,
"Just let me out...I don't want to be alone,
I wanna find my home and share it with you.
I wanna show you what it's like to be free and
I wanna explore this...
Untouchable, enviable feeling I keep having.
You can't keep me here forever
And I'm so tired of hiding.
Hearts aren't meant to be hidden.
Life is far to beautiful for y

Some times I just sit here
And think about you.
Just wonder how you're doing,
Where you're planning on going
And if you're looking for a hero
To kiss away your pain.
Whether or not,
You're done dealing with
All the agony and ready
To laugh a whole lot.
Because nothing's going to change
Unless someone cares an whole awful lot.
And I care enough to give
Us a shot.
So just let me be your hero.
Let me show you my world
Of spontaneity.
Don't worry
My love comes without a fee.
Just let me show you
What it feels like to truly
Be loved to your core.
Love shouldn't be a chore.
And I know I can ease all your pain
And show you a wor

The last time I saw you...
You were crossing the street
making your strides with
those long legs of yours
The last time I saw you...
You gave me a long goodbye kiss
right there on the corner
out there in the morning sun
The last time I saw you...
You were standing in my doorway
hands in places they could never be
if we were outside
The last time I saw you...
You were getting dressed in my room
no shirt, just jeans, and red eyes
I tossed you your hat
The last time I saw you...
You were pulling me back under the sheets
begging me, with those lips
to stay and lay around with you
The last time I saw
What do you do,
when you’ve turned your friends to stone?
What do you do,
when you’ve burned all your bridges down?
I ran,
from everything that mattered.
I ran,
and it left me shattered.
I was scared,
crippled, and afraid.
I left a mess,
one that I could never clean up.
I left a mess,
and I came back to fix it.
But I still don’t know,
what I’m supposed to do,
where I’m supposed to go,
or how I can trust myself again.
What do you do,
when the mess you made,
made you?

Things I'd never tell you
I first kissed him on the same couch cushion where I told you it was over
and he slept on my side of the bed
He doesn't drive and he doesn't have a plan and
he is everything you are not
I can't tell if he really likes me and
it doesn't bother me if all he wants is my skin
or my thighs
or my lips
I can't stop thinking about the way the first rays of sunlight
bounced off the beads of sweat resting on his skin under his
dark
dark
dark hairline
He's unpredictable and unstoppable
He keeps me up later than you ever did
and he says things to me you probably never would have thought of
but it gets under my skin that despite

Hey, friend. Do you still write poetry? I remember favoriting your stuff a bunch back when I was in.... I regret to say, middle school or early high school. I've read a few of your journals, and I think you follow me on tumblr now (losingweight13 is you, right?) So I was wondering how things were. We can PM if you wanna talk about it. Or if you don't, that's fine too. Basically just wondering how you were. Anyway, ttyl, cya around.
