Four kids ran through the field with crowns on and swords in hand, they yelled their battle cry as they fought the imaginary monsters trying to take their land, it wasn’t till after they won that they let out a victorious laugh, thinking to themselves ” they had no chance against us, we are they kings and queens and this is our home.”
Monsters inside me
I keep my thoughts safe between snug lines on blank pages
hiding from the demons that prowl my brain,
looking for innocent thoughts on which to prey.
I keep my thoughts safe from the monsters inside me.
They mess with my head and make my heart sad.
they turn thoughts dark with no way to get out
It’s okay pt2
I guess I was right
my demons are too much
and you finally got tired of saying
“it’s okay”
Defiance
I have a defiance that lives in my bones and sometimes it decides to be shown.
Am I choosing the wrong thing
I always worry that I’m choosing the wrong thing
I worry about it when I think about the effort it takes to get into the nursing program
I worry about it when I think of how amazing it was to watch a real surgery
I worry about it when I’m pouring my soul out on a page as if it’s my oxygen
I worry about it when I miss the adrenaline of being onstage and my acting dream
I always worry that I’m choosing the wrong thing
Anxiety
sometimes anxiety takes its toll
you can see it in tired faces and skinny bodies
in tapping fingers and bouncing legs
in distant eyes and jumbled minds
“Maybe Someday”
it’s a funny phrase
full of hurt and full of hope
longing for love, but fearing the pain
but still we say it
and most of the time believe it
if not today
maybe someday
Needy
maybe i’m too needy
maybe they’re too needy
maybe we’re all just needy people
looking for someone to need us
somewhere else
Let’s get away for a little while
to a place where no one knows us
and pretend for a moment that we’re all okay
Beauty
she was born with fire in her soul
and stars in her eyes
she had the whole world living inside her
and only you could see it
