Sour Milk

Penny for a poet

1 min read

You remind me of cold milk on the counter. 

Good at first, when it's right out of the fridge. 

When water beads on the outside of the You remind me of cold milk on the counter. 

Good at first, when it's right out of the fridge. 

When water beads on the outside of the glass 

And creates a ring on the counter. 

But after a little while 

The milk warms to the same temperature as the room. 

It's not t...

Changing Badly

Penny for a poet

1 min read

I cant bring myself to look at you anymore

To meet the eyes I’d been so familiar with.


Eyes I’d grown up with are colder, stranger than before.

I don’t know who you are anymore.

Your knocking on my door but I cannot let you in.

The monster hangs behind you.

Hiding as it sinks into your back.

You offer support but your support isn’t supporting.

Instead it’s poisoning.

You offer comfort bu...

Take My Hands

Penny for a poet

1 min read

I reach for you in the dark

Finger tips brushing

I reach but yet I’m flinching away.

Uncertainty poisoning my brain.

The door to my mind is jammed

Too afraid to let you in.

Can you see the state I’m in.

I’m uncertain,

What if you hurt me?

After knowing me, seeing every bit of me

What if you’ll leave?

If I let you in

I lose control of being the person you think I am.

Who am I?

Will ...

Tree Of Hero’s

Penny for a poet

1 min read

As I look at the kid in the mirror I seen war torn eyes.


Something about them was just so tired, but yet those scared eyes still peered through the dark to see the light for others.


Poetic words spoken from their mouth to make others feel at peace, to find sense in but what about them?


Empathy seeping from their pores like the weeping of waterfalls, all for others but none for themselves.

Stained In Pain

Penny for a poet

1 min read

If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?


Would you rip it out my chest?


Would you take of the pain?

The glass shards of words that borrowed into my skin?


If you looked inside would you run and hide?

What you’d see would hurt your eyes

Leaving you blind.

Would you look at me the same


Or would you turn and walk away?

Like everyone else

Every other day.


Or w...

Shallow Water

Penny for a poet

1 min read

Mock me

Tease me


Use me as comedy


Act like it’s my fault.


You fell first

You said it first


Pin me with blame,

Narcissistic behavior


You are still at fault

As much as I am


Do whatever you you need to do

To make you feel bigger


Behind my back because you know

I’ll bite back


But you know he won’t


Punching bag


You treat him badly


Use me as a weapon


Deep down

Your ...

Accept It

Penny for a poet

1 min read

Cold water,


Cold eyes,


Cold words,


All make for a harsh winter.

I’m freezing

My limbs are shaking,

My minds in hase

I fight and fight

My heart grows colder


“Accept it” my mind whispers

“Accept the cold”


I fight


“Let it go and watch it walk away “


Limbs loosen


“Let it in”


I let it in

It still hurt and my body shook


Until finally, the chill stopped....

When I Look In The Mirror

Penny for a poet

1 min read

Mirror mirror on the wall


Why am I so insecure


I look in the mirror my stomach falls,


Too small waist, with large hips.


Small body


Baby face


Stare at me


They stare at me.


Call me names and fantasize.


When I look in the mirror I keep staring


Mirror mirror on the wall


I want them to see through my eyes...

Stay

Penny for a poet

1 min read

You hold me in your arms


And kiss me softly


It feels like minutes when hours pass


But when you leaves I watch


It feels like hours when it’s been seconds


When you leave it feels like forever till I see you again


And it lasts forever when you leave....

The First Star I See Tonight

Penny for a poet

1 min read

Wishing and dreaming won’t get you anything , just like crying won’t make anyone come back after leaving.

What can I say there is no such thing as wishing stars.

Only balls of fire that burn till they explode and you will never see them break or look for them once they’ve disappeared.

You won’t notice when a few in a billion stars have burnt out but you’ll notice when the sun starts to set, th...
