Garden

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds

You can’t change your environment, but you can look for the light If you surround yourself with good people, they can help you escape the blight

Water is odd, so make sure to think Too little kills you, too much and you sink

Your mind is one great, beautiful garden Don’t forget about the little plants...

Accelerating

Katie Lyn

1 min read

In the past I longed for the present In the present I long for the past In the future I’ll long for now But now I long for some other time Some time away from this Past, present, future The feeling haunts me throughout all times The ache The dread The knowledge I hold in my bones That I shall never be enough My missteps will come to bite me As the clock ticks get closer I’m on an accelerating trai...

Clay

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Sometimes I feel like clay Weak and impressionable Bending to others will Don’t wear that shirt Don’t wear that skirt You look like a fool But then I’m unhappy Yet I’d rather be unhappy Than judged and scorned Yet the worst part is Most of it’s in my head Not many people care what I wear Though the voice in my head says otherwise It tells me they all care They all judge They all hate And I don’t ...

Forgive, But Don’t Forget

Katie Lyn

1 min read

I may forgive But I never forget For I will not be made your pet Forgiveness is saying That yes we can move on If you can change, My need to never forget will be gone Yet in the case In which change never occurs That is why I remember That is when my action spurs And I will move on Thought it will hurt, I will leave you behind That is the best I can do for my mind So I shall forgive But never forg...

My Mayfly

Katie Lyn

1 min read

She was high off of life Savoring it’s every moment Living like there was no tomorrow Carefree, like a dandelion seed in the wind Dancing through it all Beautiful in every way

Yet I was drunk on only one thing Her The dimples in her cheeks The lines left by her ever present smile The curve of her jaw when she tilted her head The color of her hair in the sun The kaleidoscope of shades that could ...

Tomorrow/today

Katie Lyn

1 min read

The shield of tomorrow has fallen As the hands finally reach midnight And the floodgate is crumbling As the tidal wave pushes through It drowns me in expectations I shall never see throguh The daylight breaks And the birds chirp their songs So I pray to whomever listens To please do me no wrong...

Lacking Inspiration

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Inspiration Is very odd It is also something I lack

It strikes you at the worst possible times And leaves you promptly after that

Inspiration is like a dog You wish you could call it back when you please But that usually doesn’t happen

Anyway This was quiet the odd poem Because if you couldn’t tell, I’m currently lacking inspiration

And I’m really not sure when I’ll get it back

Gray

Katie Lyn

1 min read

They say it’s boring That color of gray

But it’s a feeling of calmness All night and all day

It’s the color of the clouds As they fly so high

It’s the feeling love And warm goodbyes

Sometimes it’s melancholy But it’s an emotion you still feel

The feeling of stillness Just before sleep

The color of words And wise old hair

Gray isn’t boring It’s anything but that

So remember this next time Y...

Stuck

Beep Ring Click Snap Another day goes by The same noises follow me The same thoughts run by How can I escape This never ending cycle I’m like a bird in a cage With no chance at survival Every day the same Every night so bleak I need escape I crave a reprisal Get me out please Of my endless cycle...

I Move On

Katie Lyn

1 min read

You’ve come back But I no longer need you For when the water drys The land adapts And when the rain returns The land floods I cannot afford to flood So I’ll put up a dam I will not allow you back in For I am better off without you You suffocated me But now I breath An I will continue to breathe Like the wind blows Until I no longer can And then I will leave this world With you And this life Forev...
