for the day we eat turkey
Day Nov 2015
when people in america (or many other countries) say
"i have nothing to be thankful for"
it upsets me because
being "poor" in america is nothing compared to being
poor in many other places
it frustrates me that people with nothing to eat but grass can find
more
to be thankful about then
someone with endless possibilities of success
stop
complaining
about
what you
don't
have and be thankful
for everything that you
**do
just be happy and thankful

Day Nov 2015
when Americans are more concerned about who they let into
"their"
country
then they are about what kind of junk the put into their
bodies
is when i get concerned for the people as a nation.
because if Americans are more frightened by something they only
think they know about because of slander they see on
facebook
then they are of the growing darkness of the country as a whole
then
i guess
we're alot worse off then i realized
honestly I wish I could just help out everyone. If I could reach out to every starving child in the world I would. It just makes me sad. I'm getting my degree in Social Work to help people and I really want to travel.

Day Nov 2015
my pen is deadly* \ but it cannot stop
the force of a bullet
and
my words are sharp / but they cannot stop
the blow of a bomb
and
my thoughts are strong \ but they cannot stop
the anger of men
because
if i could a sow peace around the world
with just a pencil
i would
but like i've said
my weapons are strong / but no match for  
     a
         war
                 started
                               long

i mean really,
what can a word-hungry poet do
amongst
blood-thirsty warriors?

i was so happy to have him
and promised i would never
let him go

my mind slipped

just like that
he was gone
and i was just stuck
watching,
crying,
but not able to do anything
because
my arms got tired

Day Nov 2015
to all the girls he was
"hot"
but really all he ever wanted to be was
"smart"
he never took his shirt off because
he was scared that they would
instantly
label him as just another piece of
good-looking meat
but he wanted to be more then that
he wanted to be  known for
his smile
not
his abs
he wanted someone to say
"he's an amazing writer"
not
"he's pretty ****"
but in this society
thinking like that gets you nowhere
it leaves you alone and beaten
so he hid
he covered his insecurity of his skin
and pushed past it
because he was strong
even though every part of him felt
weak
he was determined to be
strong
he would prove to the world that
a man can be
both
strong and smart
both
****  and artsy
because he wanted people to love him
for more then just
his skin
because he knew deep down
we are all so much more
*then that
i wrote this because i think that, yes, while women are treated without respect alot of times, that men are also forced to meet impossible standards and are far to often overshadowed by muscles and strength and should be allowed to be "weak" in a sense. I think that it is unfair of women to be expected to be treated as fragile while thrusting these opinions of what a "real man" should be on men. I find it disgusting that in todays world that sometime we overlook a guy just because there is another guy who may be "hotter". There are so many, many men out there who are smart, and funny and have beautiful smiles who are alone because of ignorance. I love all of you guys who feel like you're not enough because maybe you're not fit as someone else or because you're not as comfortable with your body. I love you *HUGS*

Day Nov 2015
they called him a ******
and spit in his face
because he was never good enough
he was always
too weak
or
too powerful
no matter what he did
they all turned their backs
and laughed
he could never fit in
he was an outcast
because of his
past
no one could move past the fact
that he had
changed
he would forever be labeled
as
broken
crazy
different
a killer
so as he turned
and started to walk away
he didn't understand why
they wanted so badly for him
to understand just how much
they hated him
because what they didn't know
what he hated
himself
**so much more

don't look me in the eyes
it's pretty scary in there,

and everything
i'm too scared to say
out loud

so beware
you might find things
that you
don't wanna see
i'm scared of so many things

more than a fan-girl
Day Nov 2015
yeah
you might describe me as
"annoying"
"obsessive"
"weird"
"in her own world"
but
it's only because
fictional people mean more to me
then you do
and yeah
that might be sad
but to me
it's my whole world
what happens on the screen of a tv
affects me more then
what happens in my school
and watching my favorite character die
hurts so much
and i'm so tired of being categorized
as just another fan-girl
because i feel like so much than that
my thoughts
Nov 2015 · 363
toying with fiction
Day Nov 2015
i'd rather hang with fictional people
then with my own kind
i'd rather jump into an alternate world
than stay in this one
i'd rather love a made-up man
than pathetically crave a real one
i'd rather have the thrill of almost dying
than never truly living
i'd rather live in sci-fi
then only being stuck watching it
but alas
i'm stuck out here
when all i want to be
is in there.
my life basically consists of books and Netflix and i freaking love it. yup i'd way rather talk to you about my favorite characters on a show then who won the game last night.

empty words
and
empty hearts
showing
just how messed up *

we all are
hateful thoughts
and
scarred skin

showing
just how dark
we all are
haunted pasts
and
so many regrets
showing
just how alone
we all are

but as we sit in a circle
and share our broken souls
we take solace in the fact
that we know
just how broken
*we all are

truth
Day Nov 2015
if love is weakness
**** it
stab it in the chest and watch it bleed
sit and cry
over hurting hearts
then move on
and get over it
because tomorrow
waking up
next to an empty bottle
will make you forget
it all
this day is not okay
Day Nov 2015
no one startles a poet
when writing
because everyone knows
a pen is a
dangerous weapon
and when used correctly
can strike so deep
that even the poet
cannot undo its ink
as is it was tattoo'd
onto the fabric of existence
a sign of rebellion and pain
a battle wound for all to see
and to secretly judge
because we all know
when no ones around
is when the true colors
of a poem
come out.
this day is okay

picture me happy
Day Nov 2015
i'm so scared of losing you
that i can't picture myself
having you.
i can picture waking up in an empty bed
filled with drunken regrets
i can picture sitting alone
watching you across the room
i can picture rejection and pain
after embarrassment and shame
but i can never picture
you and me
because i'm to scared
of you leaving
right now you're here
maybe not with me
but here
and the fear of that changing
is enough to keep me quiet
i'm currently writing  a book (random thought)

on empty pews
Day Nov 2015
i tend to stray from "christians"

from people spewing hate at me
and yelling "because the Bible says so"

from hypocrites who tell me i'm wrong
while claiming "nobodies perfect"

from a savior who tells me he's close
but yet never seems to be near

from pastors glancing my way,
restraining an eye roll

from a book of rules and regulations,
yet contradicting every other page

from a group that claims love,
but only shows hatred

i mean for a group of saints,
i sure see alot of sinners
but then i realize im no better

am i allowed to have an opinion?

am i allowed to have your opinion?
this
illusion
of freedom we all have
is
washed away
by
the fact that
laws meant
to
be broken.
we are a
society
that destests constriction
but
yet
we squeeze ourselves
into the
LIE
that we are
UNIQUE
because, really?
we are all
exactly the same.
when you're fed up with everyone but you can't be mad at them because you know you are exactly the same

sometimes
the most inspiring poem

sometimes the most beautiful flower,
is the one unseen.

looking down

thoughts of a starving poet
Day Oct 2015
sitting at a keyboard,
thinking
and
typing.
wondering,
as if these words,
could really ever make a difference.
but never giving up,
because some who are,
most appreciated,
were never around to see it.
i sit and wonder,
maybe being,
blind,
is better,
maybe being,
deaf,
is better,
but always feeling,
because without,
What would I write about?
fogotten for now, remembered forever.

i wonder how many songs i've had to skip,
because they remind me to much of you,
and how many shirts i've had to burn,
because they smell to much like you,
and people i've push away,
because they remind me to much of you.
i wonder,
if i'll ever see the world,
without seeing to much of you.

i wanted you to be the last thing on my mind,
and i wanted you to be the reason i close my eyes,
but i can't sleep and,
oh god, i wanted to be your high,
but everything i said went unheard,
and everything you saw,
with eyes straight blurred,
became my down fall.

How some words can make me think towards you.
