Grapevive
Wine flowing like blood
Aromatic and crisp
A decanting of the spirit
Drunken
The cult
Endless parties
Women sway fluidly
Beats pounding through the scene
Festal
We worship You
The white walls, with marble pillars.
These alters we construct on our school grounds.
We have sacrificed our kids to be Your gladiators.
And you shower us with blessings.
I look around at the glass walls surrounding me
I see them and I wonder what's beyond,
Trapped would be a word that comes to her mind.
But maybe it's safer in my box.
The glass encloses all around me
Make it stop for I am drowning
There is a weight on my chest and I can't breathe
I'm clinging on
But to what?
My finger tips brush nothing but air
And I am falling
Below is nothing but endless darkness
I am the Christ!Give me your hands.Let me take youto the Promised Land.The end is near!Open your eyes,we must prepareMass Sacrifice!"
When all I have wanted is to be liked
is it possible to feel so rejected
When I am defensive
am I overreacting
Will I ever get over my anxiety
Will my anxiety ever not be questioned
Do I make mistakes
This is what it feels like to be hurt.
To have the breath knocked out of you,
Whith a word or two you killed me
And as I sit here typing I realize
You broke me.
I realize you took from me.
There is a civil war taking place
But not with guns; not with violence
Chaos is Not ensuing as a country turns against itsself
Still there is a civil war taking place
Between my thoughts; between my actions
I’m tired
Tired because sleep is becoming a rare luxury
Tired of trying so hard when I know I’m going to fail
Science and math are languages I do not speak
I fell in love at a very young age
It was a magical experience
A beautiful romance
With many enticing words
I fought alongside the bravest kings and warriors
I slayed the toughest beasts
I can feel the pain of the memories burning at my chest
The tears I’ve cried a million times
I felt it burning
Burning passion
Burning shame
Burning love
And hate
Feet together
Head up
Collarbones out
Flat tummy
Hipbones jutting out
Hair long
Pin straight
Sleeves back
Clear wrists
Eyes focused
Blue sky
Fake smile
It has conditioned me to fear
To fear everything life has to offer
To see the bad side of every situation
To doubt even the simplest acts of kindness
This monster has created a shell of a person
I dream about my goals in life
I dream about love
I dream about my life
And about who I will become.
I used to dream all through the night
and even through the day
All my wishes will come true
As I lay on the grass amongst the trees
And stare straight up at you
Our universe big and mighty
You are everywhere at night
I look for you when I’m crying
Millions of years ago
And millions of years from now
We will be looking at the same stars in the same sky
Thinking the same thoughts our ancestors thought
Through the bright twinkle in the sky
Voice
A powerful tool
Made to encourage
Not tear down
Language
Used to communicate
Messages of love
Not for evil humor
When words are exchanged
There are four elements,
Two, the most dazzeling
Fire and water
Which most mathches your identity?
Are you water,
Clear, sparkling, admired
Perhaps more wild and untamed,
I hear them, the monsters
Creeping around the shadowed corners
Big, scary monsters
with large pointy teeth
sharp, razor like claws, ready
to rip at your humanity.
Many piercing, stairing eyes
If happiness had a face
It would be yours
If love had a face
It would be the way I look at you
If fate were real
Would we be together?
If the stars aligned
Would they pair us?
Our small band of three, together we stood
Tight together, nothing could stand against.
Still with fights, family could win and would
I could speak freely without any mince.
