Inevitable

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Enthusiastic giggles welcoming a new opportunity,

Smiles plastered as symbols of our unity,

Luminous expressions floating around the unfamiliar room,

Beginning a new chapter with a powerful boom.


Exploding atmosphere,

reverberating from person to person,

Blanketing the previously exposed fear,

A new and improved version.


The illumination of joy,

A secret ploy,

To hide the truth,

That demolishe...

Reconstruction

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

I always waited for you, entwined my life with yours.

When you fell apart,I plastered the pieces in place, restoring the beautiful image I always admired.


My life surrounded yours, it wasn’t much of a life,

It was a tribute to you, adjusted for your pleasure,

Malleable thoughts, bent into the shape of your beliefs.


You left me in my own despair, yet my forgivable nature, dismissed the inbalanc...

Sunflower

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

In a world full of roses be a sunflower,

Reaching and striving to tower,

Achieving the impossible with their unwavering strength,

Accomplishing their goals,

Extending their length.


In Roses,

People find the everlasting beauty of love,

Passion plucked from petals

Popular and elegant,

Learnt never to settle.


But sunflowers are reinforced in their security,

A dependable stem,

They are known for...

Light Is Light

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Beaming down through the slight slit in my window,

Like a spotlight creating focus for the perfect show.

The way it dances on my face,

Encroaching at a tantalising pace.


The light is sharp,

but it doesn't intend to harm,

It cuts through the silence

When I wish for peace it is my good luck charm


The moonshine illuminates the stories of the night,

Lighting the way and creating the ability of sig...

Rage

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

The flame once lost.

Now awake again.

Inside me.


The rage now found,

From its asleep state,

Inside me.


Blazing heat protruding from my words:my insult.

Like a bomb about to explode,

The screams of pure anger as a result.


The heat of the fiery temper,

Lit by regret,

The guilt spreading like wildfire.


Raging pain needing to escape,

Escape from the broken past,

From what I hoped wouldn't last,

Bu...

What Is Love?

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Love: the one thing in life we can’t survive without,

We find our love and we just want to shout it out,

Sharing it with the world,

Because they deserve to see our happiness,

As much as we deserve to be happy.


But what is love?

The connection to another?

The touch of a lover?


What is love?

The writing in the stars?

Someone who supports you as you are?


Is love the bloom in spring?

The beautiful ...

If Only You Were Perfect

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

If only the tides could wash away my sins,

If only I could celebrate my wins,

Without feeling the guilt of my previous words.


Words that stab in the dark like a shard of a mirror,

That reflects the real you.

The devil hidden in your visage,

Disguised by your built up image.


If only your apologies repaired the past,

If only forgiveness was meant to last,

Without betraying their trust.


Trust you ...

I Am Grateful.

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

The breath of fresh air that swifts through my lungs thousands of times a day, the energy sprinted to my muscles to allow for movement, the ability to taste, hear, touch, see and smell.

That is what I'm grateful for.


The life you gave me, that, I should be grateful for, and the fact you won't take away that same life.


There's food on the table and a roof over my head that's what I should be grat...

Mirrors Of The Mind

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

My heart pounded and I began to hyperventilate.

I was trapped unable to escape my sealed fate.

Delving into my subconscious mind,

As I ignored every sign they signed.


Beware of the sharp shards that reflect;

The broken mirror was left behind to inspect.

Two sides of a coin presented through one passage.

The distinction between good and evil: perfect and savage.


The doorway opened and they connec...

Dreams

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

I close my eyes for the night,

Expecting the well-known fright.

The shadow that lurks in the corner,

The murderer committing such torture.


I close my eyes,

And unexpectedly see,

Cream coated pies,

Piled up high for me.


I see rainbows and ponies,

The love of my life.

Not my insecurities,

Not being threatened with a knife.


I try to scream,

I try to shout,

Why do I have a happy dream?

Why can't I ...
