I wear my face like painted glass,
A porcelain mask they let me pass.
Smiles stitched with silent grace,
No one sees the hurt in my face.

Rouged my cheeks to hide the cracks,
Polished lies and quiet acts.
Beauty’s just a veil, it seems,
Thin as breath and lost in dreams.

Behind the shine, I want to scream,
But silence keeps the world in theme.
So I perform, composed, serene,
A haunted girl in a pretty scene.

Moonlight

Kara Palais
Beneath the moon's soft, stolen glow,
Whispers thread the air, low and slow.
A touch, a breath, a fleeting glance,
In shadows deep, we find our dance.

The stars stand guard, their light a veil,
Letting passion speak where our hearts prevail.
The world's asleep, yet we're awake,
In secrets shared, in love's embrace.

The moon, our witness, silent and wise,
Conceals the truth behind its skies.
Its silver beams trace every move,
A silent ally, sworn to prove.

Among the galaxies, we slip through time,
Two comets lost in love’s old rhyme.
In moonlight's hold, we choose to stay,
Two souls astray, yet led love's way.

When dawn arrives, we'll fade from view,
The moon will guard what we once knew;
A secret kept in whispered rhyme,
A moonlit alibi, frozen in time.

why do you hate me?
I'm no different than you
hopes, I have many
dreams of everlasting love
my tears,  exactly like yours

he whispered in my ear
he said I was just his type
"you think I'm a creep"? I shouted

so afraid to love
what will become of my life
will I die alone?

If you can have a day in my head
you’ll know how much I care
about you my dear friend
we broke bread
many tears we have shed
stayed up for hours
past curfew
simpson on the tv
talking about our issues
with a cup of coffee
late night drives
always getting high
we sat down in silence
watched time pass by
we had fights
the next day
we would apologize
forgive me if I assumed the worst
almost every girl i knew
I couldn’t trust
you're a real one for still keeping it a buck
u still here with me
I know I can be crazy
I can call u family
a sister and a little brother
a best friend
all in one
they say blood is thicker
than water
but with you that doesn't matter
i’m here for you
my dear friend
thank you
I love you
you take part in
my healing journey
for that you deserve all the worlds glory

sorting through my thoughts
so dark and depressing
maybe I've found hell
perhaps it is on this earth
our own interpretations

Tiny, does the sun go
Followed by the snow down
Ever as a shower in steam

Shallow, goes the systems
Out like a fire, rising
Sparks and they spread throughout the brain

Mythic, misting asteroids are crashing on the brakes
Swerving and you’re missing but you’re christ-like all the same

Glyphs are losing meaning on displays of melted grass
Gasses matronize a pattern, tanning on the mass

Squirming, does the chimp go
Crashing through the planet
Taking selfies with the blood and its core

Comment on my face
See, stressing for this weekend
Acting like you’ve been to space at all before

I would be an astronaut but who would beam me back
As it’s clearly known that Texas ain’t now on the map

Piling into a void, a horror seldom met
Practicing a breathing technique as it’s time for bed

Forward can we all go
Float and look away from
The past as none can spin themselves awise

Sky’s black in eye
And masking in between
A passing glance of our in-passing souls demise

Mourning what’s a bed of little matter accidents
Morning corks the breath in which we sigh its savageness

Storming takes the moon across our bodies limp orbit
Torrenting that morbid, now red heavenly orphan

The tears look dried
We exercise
Our broken, fated pioneer

This sense, this blear
We’ll all ascend
In death us surely owed a new frontier

poem from the past a day #8
first of all, sometimes i write poetry while listening to music, and that usually inspires like a rhythmn or a line, but in this case i was listening to Finger Back by Vampire Weekend and i straight up wrote this whole poem to its melody.
second, Vampire Weekend is a GOAT
and uh third, this is just a fun poem as long as you can tell that it's supposed to be satirical. and i wouldn't blame you if you have no idea what any of these words are supposed to mean, i know that it reads like nonsense if you aren't me- that's like one of my whole things.
the vision here is basically: earth explodes and all the people shoot out into space and for a moment before they die they're all very cynical and silly about it

Antes,  
sus gritos eran hachazos.  
Sus pasos,  
tala indiscriminada.  

Ahora,  
arrodillado ante los tocones,  
les ofrece abono  
como disculpa.  

Su hacha está rota  
—igual que su orgullo—.  
En su lugar,  
usa tijeras de tinta:  
podará con versos  
las ramas enfermas,  
injertará sueños  
donde solo quedó corteza muerta.  

Se ha vuelto jardinero.  
Hasta de sí mismo:  
cortó sus hojas venenosas,  
desenredó la hiedra  
que estrangulaba sus rosas.  

Y aunque sabe  
que los árboles caídos  
no se levantan,  
riega la tierra  
por si las raíces  
aún recuerdan  
cómo ser semilla.
