Imagine this:
I'm holding my breath

There's a fish on the roof
And you've just thrown it off
There's a bird in a pond
And you're holding it down

Fish don't fly, honey
And birds don't swim
Magic isn't real
Because if magic was real
I would have wished myself away

If magic was real
I wouldn't be sitting here
With a pen in one hand and a blade in the other
Congratulating myself
For picking the one that left less scars

There aren't swirly white lights
At the edge of this cliff
And I'm hurtling ahead
At breakneck speed

And neck, please break
Because I don't want to survive this one

So maybe fish can fly -  for a moment
And maybe birds can swim - for a second
Before you ***** the life out of them.
My attempt at slam poetry. Not quite what I was going for but it works.

And then there will be Ashes
Ashes on my tomb
Of my doom
Before the land
Fear that hand
Its power is too great
But hate
Hate is all we have, people
Hate is what we have
Just a random thing I wrote in class.

Immortal

I remember the perfect old days
You and I, sneaking off to who knows where
Getting lost in a ***** little crowd
Your old humming car and my unwitty jokes
I thought it'd be immortal
You and I
Always and forever

Although you were old and frail and withering away
I though you'd always be right round the curb
But one day you were fading away
I held your hand and cried till it was night
And then I went back to the good old days
Cuz you and I
We'll always be the only thing that'll make sense in this mess.
This one is for my grandmother. I don't ever want to lose her.

In this game of charades
No one ever wins
The dice keeps rolling
And the curtain never falls

Goodbye

Today was the ending
I felt nothing
Maybe relief

Ten years ago I thought
This would be the day
The day I'd be proud

But see, I've done nothing
And here standing in a mass of people
I don't stand out anymore

I have lost that spark
That thing that made me so me
That some days you'd just smile and say
Never change,
Never change because I love you

But today was the ending
And I'm sure amidst the mass of colors
You didn't even miss me
You never will
But I will
It's sad when something you're supposed to miss ends and you don't even care and you realize you're not the person you want to be. So now I'm looking for that person I want to be, the person who stands out and loves the world and doesn't just sit on the sidelines waiting for life to happen.
Seize every moment like it's a gift and won't come back because it won't.
