Life Isn't Fair, It Isn't Right

This isn't right, this isn't fair. Faces drift past and voices whisper I can't hear them through the fog I'm in. Shut my eyes but can't plug my ears, those voices whisper of despair, apathy, giving up, losing control. This isn't right, this isn't fair that I'm stuck in this place, hit the ceiling a...

Father....

You showed softness only rarely, Too long the silent strength that held us together. Father of few, treasured smiles And joking times. So often the stern arms of peace And strength. Always the one to give strength When life seemed uncertain- Fragmented. Father you were always My greatest supporter. Sign in to see full entry.

The Anger

I keep the anger inside myself, cold and hot and out of sight- so hard and sweet, it hides behind my eyes and bides time inside my heart. The anger comes unbidden to me, screaming, shouting with the unrelenting fury of a black demon. I keep it inside, careful to not let its coils choke those around... Sign in to see full entry.

My Ode to Doctor Dolittle (kindof)

Why can't people be more like cats? No one has to psychoanalyze a cat, They never say mean things or cause emotional wounds. Why are cats so much more simple, less complex than humans? A cat doesn't sit there and give you an accusing stare. Cats don't throw your words back at you. God I wish humans... Sign in to see full entry.

You Don't Know

You don't know how afraid I am, afraid to lose the love for life I hold so dear, scared to finally disconnect from the world that seems so distant from me. I can't find the words to describe this, they refuse to come out in the open, because every time the pain is different the edges more ragged,... Sign in to see full entry.

Summer's Day

Dry, sweet summer, dirt mingles with sweat and guttural grunts, the ever present chorus of grasshoppers keep my tired muscles company, rough, familiar pavement bites my toes with sun's heat, cool, smooth dirt soothes, pollens make my nose miserable. Sign in to see full entry.

Notes

It started with a note, a single pitch to tie its threads around my soul in a web that collects hidden thoughts and secret smiles. Silver pictures, offering sweet surrender to my secret world. Sign in to see full entry.

Dirty Little Secrets

It's a dirty little secret, no one wants to tell, echoing in the silence but refusing to be heard. The secrets no one should ever tell, the forbidden words that lodge inside my throat. I can't tell you who I am, never truly be myself. Speaking is a chore because I am restrained, restricted to words... Sign in to see full entry.

I'll love you

Love me when you're happy, call me when you're lonely. I'll hold you when the world is black and gray. I still can't believe love would be so true sometimes, the world seems too bleak to entertain such thoughts, it seems like all people do is tear each other down, but you're standing in front of me...

A Love Poem

Some doors should never be opened, windows that must stay shut. There are places in our hearts that can never be soothed or healed. Or so I thought until your eyes met mine. Thought it'd be so easy to never let love be the master of my pain again, everybody's always talking about soulmates and love... Sign in to see full entry.
