when will they stop watching
gawking
laughing
poking
prodding
shoving

when will they start caring
speaking
changing
helping
encouraging

when will she stop crying

when he stops dying

when they stop lying

they will start trying

close your eyes it's okay
your demons won't follow you there
they're afraid of the dark
i'm afraid of the dark
how am i supposed to sleep, mama?
shhh just listen
listen to the silence
they don't like silence, dearie
but i can't keep quiet, mama
i must speak i am afraid
shhh*
i...
okay
...
"shhh"
She is alone.
She is sad.
She hates her life.
She doesn't know what to do about it.
Her eyes are like falls every night.
She just wants to leave this world.
After a week, she disappeared without saying a word.

He liked her.
He cares for her, but he is coward.
He didn't tell her what he feels.
He is just contented staring at her.

It is too late for both of them.
There are now so many "what if's" to his life.
If only he had the guts to talk to her,
to say what he really feels,
maybe,
he saved her
maybe,
she is still in this world.

chilly mornings
children with their overstuffed backpacks and
bright puffy coats
neat piles of leaves
scattered
as
giggles grow distant

in the kitchen
the smell of cinnamon wafts through the air
luring the groggy eyed gently out of their dreams
the ropes of long robes float above the cold tile
dancing on fuzzy warm slippers
stay inside today
work later

i said i'd fly
just wait and see
i didn't realise
i didn't have wings

i said i'd run
far away from my past
i should have known
i'd never be fast

enough for myself
or enough for the world
i'd never be enough
of anything or
for anyone

i said i'd jump
right off a cliff
they said yeah right
and didn't hear me slip

my math teacher once said that the reason superheroes came about in the USA was because americans are the ones who needed the most saving
i didn't know if i should've been offended on behalf of the kids in my class
my math teacher isn't american yet i found my mind wandering throughout his lesson on polynomials
i thought about super heroes in comic books
batman, superman, ironman, wonderwoman
someone had to do the saving
but they all saved the world
maybe they saved individuals i don't know
americans are the ones who need the most saving
we're the ones who need the most saving
teenagers are the ones who need the most saving
i'm the one who needs the most saving
not from batman or superman or wonderwoman
i need to be my own hero and
save myself
