Your dark choclate eyes framed by perfect lashes

Your smile that makes my little world explode and leaves ashes

Your nose scrunches gently as you grin

You make my heart pound and it sounds like it’s made of tin

I feel like I am tied to you in perfect pink ribbon

I feel the pain of when your far away it’s a given

But to be tied to you is not a burden but a gift

As you hold your arms wide to hug m...

"All my hoodies smell like you"

"I know"

"Your my last thought at night and first in morning too"

"It shows"

"Your voice is seared into my memory"

"It will fade"

"It won’t"

"You’ll move on"

"I won’t"

"I know"...

red

Everything red

As I woke up sweat drenched in my bed

My nightmare made me think I was dead

It filled up my head with existential dread

Red?

Everything red?

How could I be so messed up in the head

Of course I wouldn’t be dead

If not how did I wake up here in my bed

I woke up here in my bed…

My red bed?

My bed is not red

I sunk into this bed which is not mine cause it’s red

The covers consumed...

Tell me where it hurts

Said the man

Wearing a blue shirt

Here

Said a girl

Wearing a red shirt

Once white

But by the slight of a hand

And the stab of a man

Her white shirt turned red

This is impossible you should be dead

Said the man

In the blue shirt

To the girls mum

Who could hear the conversation

Do they think I’m dumb

Thought the girl

Who’s perception of the world

Didn’t anticipate to be sta...

Her hands,

Her hands were small,

The kind of hands you press up against your own in disbelief of their size,

Her hands were cold,

The kind of hands you hold with both of yours and bring towards you blowing hot air on in attempt to warm them,

Her hands were pale,

The kind of hands you find throwing a snowball or

Hanging

Gently

Off

The

Side

Of

A

Table

A

Metal

Table

Her hands were still,

The ki...

Shorter skirts

More makeup

Play dates turn to hangouts

Hangouts turn to dates

Individualism was so last year

Step in line to look like the rest

Time to put your camouflage to the test

If you step an inch out of line

Comments thrown around all the time

Better be witty and fight off the gaze

Turn down the style

Wear what’s all the rage

Even if you look like the girls your mum told to stay away fro...

Playing with your hair,

Lying in your bed,

I just wanna be your girl,

You just wanna be my friend,

Watching the show you told me about,

Your watching the screen,

I’m watching your mouth,

Someone I thought I could trust,

Sold me out and left me for dust,

Now you don’t hug me the same,

I’m still the same me,

Nothings changed,

I wish I could go back,

To when you said my name,

With a smile on your fac...

To define poetry

Define stress

Define passion

Define longing

Define mess

To define poetry

Define me

Define you

Define us

Define we

To define poetry

Poetry must define you

To write poetry’s story

Poetry must be your story

To understand poetry

You must understand yourself

And to understand yourself

You must understand

Understanding yourself is poetry...

What would I sound like if no one was watching

How would I dress?

How would I act like or think like

If not to impress?

What would do in my spare time

If not like the rest?

How would cope, how would my brain work

Without all that stress?...

My accent changes for everyone I meet,

Like a chameleon of personalities standing on two feet,

Am i unique or just a mix of expectations and choices made to please,

Did I buy that because I want it or because my friends said it was neat,

Am I pretending to be something more than I am,

Like those ads for things that turn out to be a scam,

If they could read my twisted mind,

Even If I was them I’d r...
