It’s one of those
Coffee-scented sweatpants days,
When time slips past as if a haze
Of fog and sand and broken glass
Holds onto seconds as they try to pass.
When teachers always have more to say
And a whole week fits inside a day.
It’s a gray-cloud white-sun kind of sky,
Where even the birds don’t want to fly,
And green-brown tree branches have to hold
It up, and even the sun looks a bit cold.
One of those
AABB poem days
When I try a hundred different ways
To write down vague and flighty feelings,
And in the end not feeling anything.
You know, those days.

What role do I play in this story
am I a mentor a passer by a villain
the Anti hero the love interest, the one who breaks you apart
Who am I in your story,
am I here to stay or to go
will I tempt you down an improper road or bring you to the light
How long will I be in your story
a sentence a paragraph a page
will I make an appearance in the squeal am I here to stay
When will I know my role in your story
is it tomorrow today or a few years
will I know in a few moments or will it be on publication day
Where am I in your story
the beginning middle or end
am I the in the exposition or a surprise in the Climax
Who am I in your story
the best friend the enemy the child
who am I to you I wonder am I in your story at all?

I was held gently
I was told I was special
That’s why I’m not living
On the rocks anymore.
I trusted the hands that
Kept me afloat
I rode them over hundreds of heads
Rode them to the top
And they were kind
They were encouraging
Until they found out they’d made a mistake.
Without thinking twice, they tossed me away
There was no warmth from them anymore
Just empty air
Until cold, hard stone welcomed me back
To the land of the normal.
I lay there alone,
All broken up on the marble,
Staring at the hope I can’t reach
And thinking
It's easy to walk when you’ve never flown
But impossible after you’ve fallen.

I am the writhing hands from the pit of your stomach,
You know the ice cold grip of their fingers.
I am the unspoken language that teenagers are fluent in
The language of insecurity
Words that are shouted silently to ears that don’t listen
And out loud to skies that can’t reply.
I live in those words.
I use them to crawl from my hiding place and grab onto you
To freeze you in place and give you
One more reason to feel like an outcast.
I am the part that doesn’t listen to logic.
The part that overrules well-meaning words
Because I’m so much closer.
I know you better than they do.
Listen to me.
You heard the teachers.
You heard what your friends meant to say.
I translated their sentences for you
And they all said
You are nothing.
When everything falls apart
And the thing with the feathers flies off
To find someone sane,
I’ll stay.

You know who I am.

I’m kinda in a block and if anyone has a title for me that’d be nice.

~familliar strangers~

We were both dreamers
we had lost our way
we found comfort in each other
told each other thoughts
from the darkest corners of our minds
we were happy, well as happy as we could be
in that moment, things were perfect
but that was long ago
i feel like the fairy-tale is over now
i didn't trust you
i trusted the person you acted as
the hidden you wwere selfish and cruel
you hid it well until i did not give you what you wanted
little bits showed here and there
but i didn't pick up on it then
i wish i had
you exposed your true colors to me
the day you left without saying a word
i shattered that day, feeling betrayed
the heartbreaking truth was
you never cared,
even though i cared so much about you
i used to want to impress you
to try to help you whenever i could
you used that against me
i guess we are nothing but familiar strangers now
and i prefer it that way

I need inspiration
and motivation

You have a voice. It needs to be heard. If you don't write, how else is it gonna be heard?
