Normal, Even

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I wear my story on my shirt
Brilliant red like a bloodstain
For all to notice
That there's something different
About how I feel and how I act
Not wrong, but different

I carry my memories like a torch
Shining bright for the world to see
That I've been through it all
Over and back again
And yet, simultaneously, nothing
Compared to some

I tell my mind like it were a song
Eloquent and quiet with all the right words
To make them comprehend
What I'm thinking and what I want
Where I'm going and where I've been
And where I'll never go back

I drag along my pain like a fifty pound weight
Always attached to my ankle
As a nagging reminder
That I've felt the hurt and loss of a human
That i'm not soulless
That there's still hope that I'll be just fine
Normal, even

Getting Over ItI hear them talk about you
Joining into the banter to survey
What they gossip about you
And, consequently, me
That's what your infamous for
Your undying obsession with a guilt-ridden girl
Who has never loved you
Not like you claim you do her
She sympathizes with you and your hurt
Because she remembers the feeling
Hazy yet burned on her mind
Ever since it happened long ago
She sees you and knows how to make you tick
I mention my boyfriend
You cry, and they laugh
Can you not see the absurdity of it?
It's time, I think, to man-up
She's a soft soul who cares about opinion, emotion, and life
It's time to man-up

Mother NatureMother Nature, Mother Nature
Don't rain down on me
Don't bring my emotions into reality
Don't bring down rain and let the world see
That I'm sad, so sad, as sad as can be

Mother Nature, Mother Nature
It's been four days without her here
I know, oh I know, what's been made clear
She left me alone without a thought so mere
That she'd ever return and be my dear

Mother Nature, Mother Nature
How I'm sad all alone
I call her each night only to hear a busy tone
Oh she's left me for him. She's left me; it's known
I guess, one more time, it appears I've been shown

Mother Nature, Mother Nature
Please, just walk away

Meet Me In TomorrowWe waste the time of today
With thoughts of tomorrow
And what we might become or lose

I sleep in late, wake up on the floor
My head pounding and my stomach churning
With faint memories of a dream about you
"Meet me under the rainbow
A place of no actuality
Meet me in tomorrow
Where 'we' can finally be."

At school, there is no hope
Of mutual expressions towards each other
Because we are who we are, and we hate who we aren't

I doze off in history, wake all alone
Teacher angry and classroom near empty
A nagging thought of what you said as I watch you leave
"Meet me under the rainbow
Only two thousand miles past the old oak treMeet Me In Tomorrow by ~indigotakesawalk

PrismAn apple
A smile
A wave
For a while
I think it'll all be okay

I look down
I glance back
Your picture
My thumbtack
I'm snapped like my old rubber band

If you'd talk
I'd listen
The piece
That I'm missing
Can be crushed in the palm of your hand

The past
Carries false hope
But I don't
Want to cope
'Cause I know that it's just for todayPrism by ~ranza123

Every Damn Day Every Damn Day

Oh the days
When I ran and played
Why did you go
And leave me this way

When you dig your heels in
And try to stand your ground
But the earth keeps turning
Without a single sound

And the days fly by
In a flurry of stress
And leave you there stranded
In your life's mess

"These are the best years of your life"
Oh no, I don't think so
For if there's nothing more to look forward to
Why live at all?Every Damn Day by ~lunalions

i could tell youi could tell you
the timing was all wrong
or
we moved too quickly
or
there was too much other stuff in the way
but the truth remains-
either way ;
he just didn't want me
i just wasn't right

we just weren't meant to be

so filthyso fucking filthy so fucking filthy

have you heard of irrational fear?

you're a crowd,
a starving crowd without a leader,
that feeds on cold hands,
hot tears,
quick breathing,
and that insane inevitable beating
-rhythm-
in the ears.

you make me so filthy,
so fucking filthy.
im dripping with filth and
fake flowers and
ripped paper lanterns and
microphones that won't let me disappear yet.

i can scrub with glass all i want
but you'll never go away.
a week's not enough, it's apparent it isn't.
let's make it two, and then we can go missing.
our pictures in the paper
missing
next to murders.

abduction's more like it. so filthy by ~startledintoreality

I'm a writer for the most part. I've written... a few novels and a few short stories, but I'm not going to post them.

Instead I'll put some of my amateur photography, graphic art, word art, and poetry. Okay, the poetry isn't really amateur. Or at least not too much. Now I feel like I'm bragging. Aw gee.

Favourite genre of music: Indie Rock
Favourite style of art: Anything with words in it!
Favourite cartoon character: The Animaniacs
