Beyond the Label“A geek!” they cry,
But I’m not a trend to pass by.
The teacher glances
A frown, a silent glance.
Laughter scatters like falling rain,
But I remain firm, unshaken.
Eyes roll, fingers point,
But in my heart, I won’t disappoint.
What they miss,
Is the fire within.
Worlds I build, dreams I chase,
I move forward with steady grace.
Call me a geek,
But what you speak
Is...

The Scars On My HeartLove is long gone,
Happiness is nowhere in sight,
The world knocked me down,
And I gave up the fight.
Hope has been lost,
My life has fallen apart,
All I’m left with,
Are the scars on my heart.
Things are not getting better,
I lose faith with every passing day,
The world used me,
And then threw me away.
My life turned upside down,
And I’m barely...

Google Search, What to do When I'm Always Blue?My brain is flooded
I feel so worn
I’m always tired
My mind is torn
Too many options
Not enough time
I struggle
But it’s in my mind
I’m here and there
I’m happy, I’m sad
I’m never both
But I’m always mad

With Spring Comes Fallthere is beauty in falling in love
like soft spring
the sun blazing in all its bright glory
but not too harshly
the clouds adrift - patchy enough to let the light seep through
the trees create a wonderful view
even the flowers bloom differently
and when the fall comes
the leaves leaving their branches
almost flowing through the wind
to end up on...

Katie's PoemI'm still here
I stepped into the shadows
I haven’t gone away
I didn’t want others to see the face of sorrows
I’m still here
It was so much easier than I could convey
I just didn’t have the words
But I’m still here
The pain was too much to bear
I took time to sit and watch the birds
I had to let my...

Tungsten Memories Break HeartsEvery time I try to get around you
I end up strangled in lies of tungsten memories.
You're like the seal I can't break,
The song I can't take,
The bonds I long to make.
You stole the ground from underneath my feet,
And the heart that kept them standing.
What kind of a gift would a heart be
if it's not...

Twin SoulsTwo hearts once beat as one in time..
Their voices sang a perfect rhyme.
Each thought, each breath, a mirrored tune..
They danced beneath the silver moon.
But she, in love’s unsteady hand..
Had strayed and broken what was planned.
A choice she made, a wound so deep..
That left him standing, torn and steeped.

Some WhereToppled by a bottle, collapsed upon
her painful past, asleep—but well awake!—,
unmoving, but for her mind stirred aquake,
the girl is yawning before her black dawn.
Alone, couched by a burning blanket drawn
over a conscience guilty at the stake,
slipping into the sly hands of the snake,
she sees not clearly the sickening con
which lures her slowly to her deathly...

Are the Republican Politicians Going to Hurt Us, Part Two
We are the quiet ones, lost in the hush,
Where the world storms past in a thunderous rush.
The lights are too bright, the voices too loud—
But we dream in the softness behind the cloud.
We did not ask for a battle or war,
A war how foolish that we can't win,
Yet they fashion laws like licence plates.
The kind...

Are the Republican Politicians Going to Hurt Us, Part One
Will they come with cold, proud eyes,
And laws like winter in their hands?
Will silence fall where once were cries—
The laughter none but we understand?
I saw the stars through a hospital pane,
And wondered if they’d burn for me,
Or if their fire would die in vain,
In halls without our poetry.
They call us strange, too loud, too still,
Too...

No Hurt FeelingsNo matter how many people
Turn their back on you
Don't throw stones
Just go forward
I don't know how
What it will be next
But for every day
Give thanks to God....

You - Apr 10I woke this morning, lying next to you;
Contemplating your thighs, your breasts, your face,
as you still slept at rest in a dream’s embrace,
my eyes all over your fair features flew…
I lingered here and there—a glance askew
caught subtle movements in that furtive place
beneath your eyelids, wondering what chase
your soul pursued in the other blue…
You then...

PULL ME OUT
Lost
Underneath this despair
Lies darkness that loots
Loots the humanity inside of me
It is darkness I see,not humanity
It is darkness that sees me,not humanity
Dead
Dead
Is the light of hope
Hope for the light that outshines the darkness
Darkness that loots,the sanity inside me
Gloom
Gloom
Fills the heart that loves,that loved
In the time of emptiness
Gloom is what fills me,gloom is...

A Note to No One In ParticularI always feel a twinge of anger,
a truck load of guilt,
and a dash of sorrow
whenever I think of her
But mostly nothing at all
My guess is all those year of
cuts to the bone
ingrown toenails
and broken bones
weren't quite
stitched up,
fixed up
and set -
right
She used to hit a racquetball
against those grungy, white walls
until she felt like...
