while sketching your profile
while sketching your profile
on the pale white of my ceiling
i named all of my favorite pieces
and memorized the others.
i traced your jaw with silk
strands of light that run through
the cracks in my walls.
your lips were painted a soft
monotone, matching the sweet
sound of a heartbeat.
your eyes were the simplest yet
most complex to etch, liquid drops
in caverns of millions of colors.
my need for your acceptance is why
i turn my eyes when our sights interlock
but my love for the contours of your
skin is what makes me gaze at your
being when i think you aren't looking.

I'm sitting on this battered roof, chain-smoking Marlboros and talking to the moon. There is a fiery breeze twirling my skirt, but all I see is a little girl tugging at the hem, mutedly screaming the word "Mommy". But I couldn't be her mommy, because she is dead.
I'm tempted to take off my skirt-to let it feather down and cover this parched city.
I still have 13 cigarettes and I won't give up until the taste of you retreats from my lungs. I'm thinking that maybe I can smother it, maybe it will just surrender. As long as it's still present, I can't hate you- I can't hate you for what you did to me.
And somehow I know it would ha
Most people fall in love with the extra-ordinary.
Dear me,
You are not most people; never for a moment try to believe you are. You stand out from the crowd, with your quiet ways and subtle humor, and, in the beginning, that's horrifying. But soon enough, you will learn to lift your eyes and set your jaw; you will learn the word no when it comes to fools; you will live emblazoned over the world like a fiery rainbow.
You will learn many, many things in the coming years.
You will learn to smile with all the vibrancy you have tucked away inside of you, and you will learn to be that other kind of beautiful. The kind that dreamers and thinkers

A Poem Unwritten -Revised 2010
"a poem unwritten" -alternate version
this is a poem unwritten
told by a father who still exists
it's about a boy no longer
and a town that fell asleep
the boy broke the cycle
and ended the piercing silence
he fought with his life
so the people may live longer
but the father was left alone
and now he has a body to bury
this never should have happened
but this is a poem unwritten
told by a father who still exists
that day in class
the boy didn't pay attention
as wrote a poem unwritten
when the boy raised his head
looking for an audience
he found a violent silence
when he raised his hand
to show and tell his poem unwritten

To the person grading this poem
To the kind, patient woman hovering over this with a pen
Waiting to say kind, patient words in response, do me a favor:
Stop it.
Dont Patronize me.
I did not slave over this with hammer and anvil
Shaping it into a masterpiece.
I didnt paint it onto the ceiling of some church,
Going blind from the pain and the stress.
I didnt even turn this in on time.
And while Im writing this in my fifth-period economy class,
You can bet Im not concerned with iambs and troches and Italian terza rima.
No, Im concerned with how much water is left in my water bott
An empty space, not even a room.
A glossy piano, waiting for its player.
The sheet music, marked up with corrections.
The fingers, stretching in preparation.
The emotions, awaiting their release.
Fingers dance across the keys,
Forcing the notes into the melody.
The soft music sings the words
Silently,
So that no ears can hear them.
The stress and fear that haunts the brain,
The horrid words that cause the pain,
The violent shaking the pianist goes through.
The breathing that always soothes the mind,
The malignant words that always remind
The pianist of the horrors at home,
The people that make her feel alone.
The piano stops
The pretty girl with the deep brown eyes
Was only told horrid lies,
That corrupted her innocent state
And revealed to her a world of hate.
A world of depression and pain,
And people who only use power for personal gain.
The lovely girl wanted to cry,
Because the world had gone so awry.
The darkness touched the ones held close,
And killed the ones she loved most.
It left the poor girl all alone,
The pain created by the Devil's groan.
Praying to God to help her friends,
But she knew how the story would end.
Left all alone her mind travelled on
To the darker world where her friends had gone
Soon she found the gun an appealing
She wore barbed wire necklaces so that every time she laughed, it hurt.
Little Freckles Frankie was the first to make her laugh so hard she bled. He was ten, she was eleven. I dont think he has found anything funny since. It was too bad really, baby blue eyes tend to twinkle when they laugh.
I caught her countin

So I hadn't been active in a long time
Not like it will matter to really anyone, but I've taken an interest in photography and manipulation.
I am still sketching but I'm too much of a lazyass to scan any of my shit.
And also my dad came back from yet another year long navy trip, and has stolen his tablet back.
I got a new haircut.
Hated it at first but now it's grown on me.
I have been discovering life anew each day.
I am now in love with Mitchell Davis and he inspires me<3
Owl City and Hollywood Undead are the best bands ever

God it posses me off.
I had gone through a change a while back.
I went from white T-shirts, regular blue jeans and sneakers with my long hair pulled back in a ponytail everyday to black hair with striped or funky shirts with jackets and gray and dark skinny jeans with converse in about one weekend.
No one ever used to even know I exist nut now I have random people walking to me and asking if i am "goth" or "emo"
Seriously? I don't recall ever knowing that I was apart of the East Germanic tribes that existed around the early 3rd century or that I'm highly emotional just because I'm dressing in a way that I have always wanted to.
Maybe the
