I will never be satisfied with myself.
I cannot play a sport.
I have no skill in any useful activity.
My few talents disappoint many.Reading doesn’t earn you medals.
Sewing is a seemingly ancient skill.
Writing doesn’t gain you admiring friends.These things don’t put food on the table
Or clothes on our backs
Or money in our dusty, underused wallets.Art only gets the lucky far,
Who am I to think I will go far?
I yearn only to prove myself to others.Perhaps they’ll never be satisfied.

I Couldn’t Help it.
All the Fowl Words in the World Were Climbing Up My Throat
Yearning to Be Released.
But I Kept Those Words Down
And Instead
Opened My Mouth
And Spat on His Shoe.
I Watched His Face Turn […] -

If You’d Actually Read My Poems, You’d Notice They’re Not All Sad. The Point of This Website is to Write Things You Can’t Tell Anyone Else, Because You Need Somebody to Know. I Don’t Need a Critic, So If You Don’t Have to Like it. I’m Just Speaking My Mind.

It Was the Sound of Mum Closing the Creaky Kitchen Cabinet That Woke Me.
As Usual, I Was Tangled in Blankets
Having Thrashed Around in My Sleep.
My Arms Were Extended
As Though Reaching For Something,

Babbling Nonsense
About Television and People and Paint
To a Friend Who Was Hardly Listening

The Most Wonderful Feeling
I’d Never Felt,
Of Two Arms
Wrapping Around My Waist […] -

Full of Sparkling Earrings and Glimmering Make-Up.

Draped Jewels Around My Neck,

“Which One of You Was it?”

In Horror
As They Both Slowly
Raised Their Hands. -

I Walked Back and Forth in Front of the Open Doorway,
Listening For Giggles or Whispering.

To Make Sure That the Nightlight Stayed On,
The Television Stayed Off,
And the […] -

Put Them Behind Her Ears,
Sprinkled Them Randomly Onto Her Head.
They Made Her Honey-Blond Curls Appear To Be Darker.
I Picked One Last Flower,
Brighter and Bigger Than the […] -

She’s There to Listen to My Rants,
He’s There to Teach […] -

I Handed Her the Apple,
The One I’d Stolen For Myself,
The One That Meant Even a Small Meal,
That May Cease the Growling in My Stomach For at Least the Night.
But Seeing Her There,
Thin,
Hollow,
Dying,

Because He Was There,
And I’d Already Accepted the Fact
That He’s Never Coming Back.I Ran to Him,
Yearning For His Touch,
Not Caring That He Wasn’t Real,

It Hurts,
Unbearable Pain,
Slashes,
Cuts,

How Can Something So Small Hurt So Bad?

“We Could be Together You Know.

What a Suggestion!

Starstruck at the Words He Had Just Sent.

“Of Course!”
Then I Erased it.
