New Years Is Overrated [
1.2.07 - 2.45pm
]
[ mood | cheerful ]
[ music | The Hush Sound (AMAZING) ]

I wrote this poem last night..the night after new years eve..
I had a shitty new years so this poem says what I think of the stupid holiday..
It's very bitter and depressing so be warned. There is also no title for this one.


looking back on the eve
too sober to push it all behind me
to dance with a future I'll create
wasting away with bed sheets
too stretched to hold on anymore
clinging to things I know
are much too far to reach
I long for this night to end
as I'm reminded
of this bitter feeling I've been keeping
blaming myself like usual
champagne refused
confetti shredded
fuck this holiday
what is the point anyway?
drinking and kissing
flirting and dancing
with strangers
who wait until you're asleep
to take your dignity
you're so cheap
that was your chance
drowsiness is all you have now
your little blue friends
put you to sleep so fast
so you can forget
everything you regret
by yourself
a silent telephone
taunts you
just like you knew it would
your friends you had
they up and left
or was it the other way around?
why does it matter?
[this poem sucks anyways]
your problem lies deeper
than this alcohol efficient holiday
everything piles up
ready to knock you down
are you prepared for a new year?
welcome it in with unneeded meds
an empty stomach
watch your character unfold before you
you never fed it anyways
your eyes are always so wet
but you don't stop them
all you do is feed the pain
with scars and empty thoughts
you keep coughing
still sick
4 days
5 days
you lost count after so long
it all becomes routine
and you're off to work again
"hello may I take your order?"
translates into something
much different than you expect
Back to life
Back to faking it
you're so bad at lying
that smile does nothing
but give you away
Nice try
maybe next year will be different
no more lies
no more fakeness
a girl can dream,
can't she?
[the only thing she's good at]

Authors Note: The bolded sentence in the poem is where I considered giving up on the poem cause I didn't like where it was going.. I still don't know if I like it yet.

Siblings [
12.31.06 - 10.55pm
]
[ mood | lonely ]
[ music | Cat and Mouse.The Red Jumpsuit Appartus ]

This poem was written the night two of my brothers
got into a crazy drunken fight. It was one of the scariest moments
of my life. It's called "Almost"



Dysfunctional
siblings crazed and mad
A friend
Stronger body
Separate them
Calm him
Screaming
Piercing
No mistaking those sounds
They can be heard for miles
Almost done
More screams
Almost done
More punches thrown
Almost done
More
More
More
Please end this soon
Taunting continues this riot
Men in blue
may lay in our future tonight
He is so vulgar
Make him put those fists away
His eyes are big
Crazy
Angry
Raging drunk
Alcohol created these monsters
Please just calm him
He is so angry
Yelling
Completely animated
With an 'in your face' attitude
We are innocent
What can we do?
Separate them
Calm him
His face is so red
Keep holding him back
I won't let him get through
Almost done
Leave
Just for tonight
Separate them
Finally
The screaming subsides
The house is still
3:30am
Sleep is nowhere to be found
Mind is racing
Almost went back
to someone I used to know
Almost there
Almost
Almost
Lost feeling
They are separated
We are separated
Disconnected
Make it stop
Make my eyelids heavy
Take me far from here
Almost there
So
Close
But so far
Don't make me shake
I've shivered enough
Tonight is calm
Until
tomorrow.
Keep them separated
Keep them sober
Just make it stop
Dysfunctional
A friend
Bigger body
Saved the night
Keep him close
Almost
Almost...
Done.

A Dame Can Do So Much, [
12.30.06 - 3.25am
]
[ mood | sick ]
[ music | The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus ]

This poem was written on April 26th, 2006 (a wednesday)
The last line is the reason I'm putting this poem here.
It's one of my most favorite lines in all my poems.
This one does not have a title.




This dame is blind to all that's real
She lets heavy rain pour down on her
Wet clothes stick to her tightly
as if they have separation anxiety
Her background music plays
except no one else can hear
She wanders through this emotion
and searches for a sign
to the nearest exit
A stop sign only lasts for so long
and yet she keeps on yielding
to what's inside of her
The rain only gets heavier
and weighs down her heart
but she knows this feeling well
It rocks her to sleep each night
with an intensity too much to bear
where does she go tonight?
she follows the scent after the rain
softly floating passed each street
she knows just where to go
A dame can do so much for love,
don't you know

You Alcoholic, You [
12.25.06 - 2.03am
]
[ mood | dorky ]
[ music | michaels voice ]

I wrote this poem just now, on Chrstmas eve. There are alcoholic drinks incorporated into it
because at my dads house there was a lot of drinking going on.
This one actually has a title.
"One Cherry"



a little cherry can go a long way
burning your throat
cutting your vision
spare yourself the chair
your glass is empty anyways
time to fill it
gin and juice
b52s
the shots they never end
bring us together again
with your illegal alcohol consumption
deep within our house
there lies a dirty secret
that isnt so secret anymore
the fumes they go for miles
as we drink up another round
wait a minute
these rose colored glasses don't work
unless the rum is down and dirty
unless the kids are falling hard
drink it up
this is life; the only one we see
one cherry will get you wasted
don't you know
151 is double that jack will ever be
the more the merrier
fill your cup with all our friends
Samuel Adams never fails to please
nothing brings the family together
like a drunken night upon the eve
a drunken christmas
does wonders for the charactor
so drink it up
your guard is down
the time is now
one cherry will get you wasted
didn't you know?

Classic [
12.15.06 - 12.55pm
]
 
I'm going to start out with this poem..it's kind of long
and it has no title
but it's very idealistic
and doesn't have one exact subject that it's about.
If you know me you probably already read this
but it needs to be here
so read it again!

My handwriting keeps getting messier.
     I wonder if he knows
     that no one likes a dreamer.
They've had it with small talk,
   but that's all she knows.
Sitting and dreaming
all day
can be so exhausting.
      Don't put your promises in me
I'm much
too tired.

Rest for just a few minutes.
Be practical for just a moment
     but try not to take things
too seriously for long.
      Us dreamers,
we put logic to sleep
a long time ago
   tucked it in tight
made sure it won't escape
to reak havoc upon our thoughts
tonight.

When grinding your teeth at night does nothing
but wake up your significant other...
When you sleep walk to be inside of your dream
undisturbed...

surely
you would never ask the difference
between what is real
and what is
fiction.

Your stained carpet says so much
       as does your wrinkled dress.
           A dusty corner cries at night
               while a kitten tries to break in
                        simply to play
                                   and escape the night.

Maybe we all come undefined
Let's all be our own artist.
Go on
and paint yourself through life.

high and low
soft and hard
This fresh cut grass
       opens its arms
                  to you
                      to lay
                          with us...
the ones that dream those things
that most fear to see
the sweetest things
that make the least sense
of anything
you know.

My handwriting keeps getting messier
      much too hard to read these days.
But why bother re-reading
when you can re-create?

I wonder if he knows
that no one likes a dreamer.

       They are always so tired
and sleep
way too often.
Must be all that sitting
and dreaming
they do.

After all
A promise is only made of words
                 so is the dictionary, dear.
But it's difficult to read these days
      must be the handwriting.

No one likes a dreamer
I really wonder if he knows.
His heart [and mine]
are at such a risk
      so much that
I just really hope he knows
or
I'll have to
tell
him
myself.

Don't make me break your heart
simply from ignorance.
Obviously,
he hasn't a clue.

Poor boy.
Brace yourself.
It will all be
over soon.
       very
       very
soon.
[and they'll all say I told you so]
