reveal

independent lines regarding the same subject

they say no means no, but what about saying nothing at all?

i'm staying locked up so you don't have to

not saying no doesn't mean i'm saying yes 

i exist despite you

you took everything I had without even asking for permission 

breaker of promises, breaker of hearts / taker of innocence, stolen like art

my no's were locked between my mouth and yours, too scared to come out

nothing stays the same

my dearest readers,

I can't think of anything poetic. that's kinda how I've been this whole semester. this is an apology to all of you; I'm sorry I haven't taken the time to get to know you through your writing and choice of gifs. I'm sorry I haven't commented a lot. I'm sorry I haven't cared about my blog. there are so many ideas in my head, but when it comes to writing them down, I choke. most of my posts are written at 11:30 on Sunday nights because even though I've been brainstorming all week, ive come up with nothing. I haven't been proud of my writing, which I'm also sorry about. I know I could be doing better work, but my mind is so clouded and I can't silence my brain enough to put together sentences. maybe I'm not trying hard enough to put sentences together. I have amazing ideas for poems and then I forget or mess up the verse before I can write it down. I am so forgetful. you see, the blue moon has been crowding my thoughts and it's not letting anything else through. the blue moon should give me inspiration and the emotion to write a good poem. I don't know. I'm just sorry that I didn't try as hard as I could have. and I'm sorry that the moon won't let me move on. 

also I'm writing this on my phone which sometimes makes the font and size different, and I'm not here for that. sorry if your aesthetic experience suffers

wins and losses i.e. opposites

yes there's hot and cold and yes and no and in and out and up and down. yes there is black and white, and darkness and light. but what about me and you and your family too? what about exes and oh's, your house and my home? there's pause and play, straight and gay, slam poems and the poetic crap that rhymes. what about He and him? and he and Him? there's living and dead. there's hungry and fed. there's happy and sad, and ur mom and ur dad. there's love and hate, and I'm on time and you're running late. day and night, the ground and the sky. Gravity and flight, I'm wrong and you're right. but what about me and you? are we considered opposites too?

fear

the rain never wanted to cry in front of the sun. that's why the rain left. the rain left and as soon as it was gone it poured. the rain always loved the sun. the rain loved the sun like its brother. the rain longed for the sun to come save the rain.

to stop the rain from falling.



because the rain was never falling in love.






it was only falling down.


the rain admired the condensation.

the rain admired the sun but the rain never wanted to be kissed by the precipitation.
the rain only wanted to be held in the evaporation.
