Poetry
Dont
I
pull up my chair and stare at the screen
In hopes of finding some comfort
In hopes of finding a me the world has never seen
The world spins like the thoughts jumbled in my head
A voice shouts "Stop screaming at me!"
But I ignore it instead
Q : What is the world's best kept secret?
A : My relationship with my parents
....It's so well kept even they don't know about it
Hold my hand as I step into reality
As the ground spins and knocks me over
As I fall dead into its independence and prosperity
Pull me back before I'm caught in the everlasting race
Help me save my stars
Please, before the world slaps me in the face
My mother slowly turns the knob on my locked door
I pretend I'm asleep
Just like I've done a thousand times before
They gave me life, the stars and the sea
They know the world
But they don't know me
They wiped the tears that I first saw them through
They gave me all I asked for
But ignored me saying "All I want is you"
They wiped away the tears of my physical pain
But they replaced it instead
With tears that left on their hands a shiny red stain
Don't you dare speak and laugh as though you know who I am
Don't you assume
Don't, until you write with this pencil I hold in my hand.
