If it's what we think, we become
could I plant the seeds of beauty inside my skull?
I could wait for the first sprigs to sprout
and the roots to gouge out my eyes
because beauty is in the eye of the beholder
and I don't think I can be
that anymore.
But god, if the velvet petals inside
grew brighter,
then maybe I could feel their vibrance.
I could be an entire field of tiger lillies for you.
It seems silly to not know your favorite flower.
I could sprout daffodiles from my finger tips
and for once,
everything I touch would be divine.
I got a tattoo on my tree limb arms
with two names
but I don't know how to erase one
because I can't love
There's a thunderstorm approaching.
And it takes me back
to when I was a work of art before your eyes.
A sort of masterpiece unfolding before you
and you, a willing audience.
It takes me back to the
back-lit nude silhouette
in the window on Sunday night
and the kiss I gave you afterward.
There's a thunderstorm approaching
and I downed 3 coffees just to read a book I hate
and distract myself from you
but three coffees and four hours later
I'm still thinking.
How I hurt you
how we haven't spoken in days
because I can't face my own decisions.
How you pine
and beg
for me to come back
and how could I tell you?

I am a snail and you are a garden
The other day
I thought "people who stomp on snails
are the worst kinds of people."
They are literally trying to get somewhere as fast as they can
avoiding sharp sticks and glass that they might carry
on their very long journey.
We were all snails at one point
just trying to keep the shells on our backs
the one thing that we could control in a world
that looked too big.
Taking nibbles of whatever small opportunities came across
our curious paths
until we could shed our beginner shells
and grow into a skin more fitting.
You are one of the worst kinds of people.
I was too small
with two shells on my back one for my sister and one for myself
The other day,
I mentioned that I didn't want children.
I'd rather have a cat.
My mother said,
"you have so much of yourself to give to a child."
And while, I agree with her,
you can't give a cat morals
or teach it that skipping out on taxes is bad
I don't want to do that.
I can't give anyone any part of me
because I am not whole yet.
I'm still branching out,
a small weed breaking through concrete into light
and you know,
cats have their pluses.
They won't knock something over AND pair it with a passive aggressive phrase.
And really,
it's the small things.
The nose bumps
the tail swish
the look that says "I love you, but I don't know what you
Being sick
is like being caught within a factory.
Mechanics pumping around you
taking oil through screws and tubes into the big heart
at the center.
Loud
Loud
LOUD
until you can't hear your own thoughts.
It's metal upon metals
squeaks and moans
let out in smoke
by the love you wanted being manufactured.
Some nights,
the cranks are strong enough to rip apart old wound riddled memories
and throw them down a conveyor belt
right at you
and now it's hard to remember what even the factory sounds like.
There is a never ending crunch of bolted down teeth and
the stretching of the factory's skin wanting so badly to become human
but remembering that

Dear 13 year old boy.
I know, you're just trying to get a head start.
Two steps in front of the uncle who raised you
the uncle who showed you a window into this life
into a group who wouldn't leave you
like your parents did.
And I know you only want to be backed
because the world is scary when you've got to face it alone
and dear 13 year old soul,
put the gun down.
Is the initiation worth a life of crime,
is the initiation worth the life of another young soul like you
worth the life of innocence?
What else will they make you do
after you fire the first round?
Dear 13 year old boy,
I know it doesn't feel like you're loved now,
but you're you

I am junkyard
full of old cars that never learned how to start themselves again.
I am as rusted as the train tracks that run through the center of me
I'm as strong as the weeds that threaten to tear the railroad spikes from the inside
I am a junkyard.
People do not venture inside to look for something
they pass by in the middle of the night
to drop off whatever it was that was too heavy for them
too expendable
too unwanted.
Do not fall in love with me
the smoke that comes from my rotting metal
will pull you down
wrap around your arms and legs
and hold you too close.
I never learned how to hug someone properly.

There are things that I won't recover.
Lost teddy bears
broken crayons
forgotten letters
bruises when I was five
blisters from the ringer bars.
There are things that I won't recover
and I'll have to move on.
A laugh
the way my mother's hand feels
in mine at the zoo.
Her palm too big for my hands to wrap themselves around.
The way a tiny finger could anchor a sinking ship
or the way a bottle keeps a note from destroying itself at sea.
There are things that I won't recover
and I know I need to move on.
Days spent in a sleepy stupor.
sometimes loud noises stir me from my sleep
and I wonder if it's her head or just a bottle thrown to the wall thi

When/IF God Happens
When God happens
miracles are born into thin air
their blood vessels breathing life and love
When God happens
the miracles float aimlessly not caring who they hit or miss
when God happens the children starving beneath mountains of
green bottles reeking with guilt are forgotten.
When God happens the women and children boys and men hiding behind themselves
trying too desperately to wash the shame out of their bodies
and wondering if bleach would kill off the ghosts of the DNA that did not belong to them
are avoided.
When God happens the grandmother who always calls you a different name
will never again seem to spell YOURS

I've been thinking lately
about the ever looming exit sign above every wall
every window
every endless problem
every person
and every road.
I've been thinking lately that there are days
more often than not
that I'd love more than anything to free the
creatures that claw at my skin
and threaten to tear me apart
ligament by ligament
without resistance.
There are these days
where the sun doesn't seem as bright
the people are more quiet
and I feel less alive.
It's hard to put words into the mouth
of a skeleton
because his tongue can't quite
make the shapes out of SOS
Where S is a savior no one ever quite wishes for
O is the landlocked island of
This is letting go.
Know that I may never return home.
My paper wings must spread,
and know if they catch fire,
I'll stay far from dead.
It's a typical morning out here
light is shining, things are clear.
This is me letting you go.
Letting go of the nights you cried,
Where I held you
and because of sadness, nearly died.
I love you, truly I do,
But remove the tacks from my back,
and help me fly.
Write a lovely note on my right
Something you hate on my left,
and send me off.
Let me spread my delicate wings.

Believe me mommy...
Mommy, dear,
to my heart, you are SO near.
Even through all the aweful things,
the new boyfriends and one night flings.
The drinking, the sniffing,
the huffing the blowing.
I still love you mommy.
I wiped away the tears when your bruises showed,
held your hand and wiped the snow from under your nose.
I never did cry while you were, never wanted to steal the show.
But I hugged you and my heart sobbed with.
Oh I still love you,
even through all that...
still love you even when you almost killed us.
A car can cause an aweful amount of damage.
You don't remember...the alcohol blurred away all of that.

but...why? I loved you so....
I know you're gone...
but did you know I love you?
Would you have left
if these promises were true?
Would you have done what you did,
If you knew I was always waiting?
Wanting?
Hoping and praying?
Maybe someday you'd notice...
but you left without a word.
Nothing's around,
not a whisper,
not a sound.
All the false hopes and stares,
maybe mine...maybe their's.
God, why did you have to?
If I ever talk again,
ever utter a word
I'll tell you
"I know you were gone, but did you know that I loved you?"
Today, Is the only day,
I'll ever feel it necessary,
to hope and pray.
To hope, you'll hold me close enough
to let me fly so far away.
hope you cherish me enough
to always think about me.
Pray that tonight,
I'll make it through,
how could I...without you?
"go"
"leave"
"it's better for you"
"i'm making you leave."
Why would you push something you love,
out?
Like all your care was full of doubt.
Accusation?
Never.
more like...admiration.
I love you..don't you see?
Baby, I have to go,
don't forget, I love you so.
Why do I wear so much you ask?
Purple,
green,
aquamarine.
The color of happiness,
Shades the grey,
How could I cry,
when they've so much to say?
But it's you I hide from.
Black,
white,
red.
Lines the pink, so still.
Makes me look ill.
I like it?
I like it.
"natural beauty" Doesnt apply to me.
Shades of
purple,
green,
aquamarine.
A tear is clear,
Showing the happy colors.
The only thing that smothers the pain.
Let me laugh,
But let me wear my happiness.
The only kind that substitues my reality,
for something I wish I had inside of me.
I would walk a thousand miles,
a thousand miles to show up on your door step.
Just to ask you to smile for me.
But you wouldn't you see,
you'd slam the door in my face,
leave me alone and let me chase
my fears myself.
don't you know?
All I needed was you...and your starry eyed smile.
Open up your heart,
let me in again,
please just take my hand i'm drowning
please just take my hand i'm drowning
dropping further and further down,
letting go, letting me go,
don't let me go.

Sick, right?
I'm not ready to deal with it, I don't know how, and I am afraid.
I feel very alone right now because I know I'm the only one in charge of how I'm feeling and processing things.
I just don't know where to go now.
I feel like I exploit all of my experiences when I talk about them.
But how else do I work through things?
I'm not as strong as everyone else and I'm sorry.
