Catching Stars.I caught a starCatching Stars.4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
and put it in my pocket
to keep it safe..
I took it home
and placed it on a shelf
in a cold dark place..
I kept it a secret
no one knew
what I was hiding..
You needed a friend
but I had nothing to offer
so I gave the star to you..
Your face lit up
I could feel the warmth
you almost felt complete..
But you let go
and the star went home
leaving you breathless
and almost knocked you off your feet..
The sky burns
the star shines bright
and I quietly watched
as you found yourself
somewhere deep within the night.

your ankle
and tried to set you free
but you came crashing back down
in a million tiny pieces
coming back to me
and the more
I tried to fix you
the more you would
crumble.
I try my best to fix you
doubled the knot
around your ankle
and tried to let you go
again
as you began to fall
I pushed you back into the clouds
I tried to fly with you
support you through the storm
but the higher we get,
the more we risk
trying to reach paradise
a place that doesn't exist
beyond the brightest stars,
yet here we both are
crashing back down to
reality.

when did you lose your glow?
Firefly, oh firefly
where did your happiness go?
I'm a firefly
whose light burnt out
long ago
Flying blindly,
no place
to call home.
Lost in darkness,
bitter cold
biting at my wings
Where am I going?
Falling down,

Can you see me?I'm standing in front of you,Can you see me?7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
medicated, numb, dull to the touch.
Can you feel me,
I can't feel anything at all.
I'm a mess, broken up inside,
can you see me?
I can't see the truth,
this world is a blur.
I try my best to make it,
but I stumble and I fall,
pushed aside from the world,
wrapped up in a ball.
Can you see me?
Do you know how this feels?
Can you help cure me,
can you help me heal?
Drugged and dumb,
I'd do what it takes to be numb.
If you can see me,
can you help me?
I'm drowning on my own,
someone needs to help me out.
I scream and I cry,
I kick and I shout.
Does anybody know how I am feeling?
Do you have t

Shut up!I can't stand to hear another word.Shut up!7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
You've done more than enough.
I'll pick up the pieces,
JUST SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
I'm sick of hearing my mistakes.
When you're so fucking perfect.
I'll smash your dreams.
SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!
I walk carefully,
gracefully within my boundaries,
hoping not to break something fragile,
I do my best to please.
You try to destroy me,
picking me apart slowly,
criticize my every move.
JUST SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
I don't care about your feelings anymore,
you can't change who I really am.
So take all of your own advice,
AND SHUT UP! JUST FUCKING SHUT UP!
Alien.I feel like a monsterAlien.5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
trapped inside my own body
a foreign alien,
living outside of their universe
trying to understand my surroundings
confused, blinded
stumbling downward,
spiraling out of control
I'm a puppet,
the master lost his grip.
I don't belong here,
constantly falling.
Wondering when the impact
of rock bottom
will finally hit.
Intruder in my own mind,
irrational and scared.
Prisoner to my own world
nobody ever cared.
Trapped inside my own sickness,
and desperately wanting out.

Ugly Masks.You painted an ugly mask,Ugly Masks.7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
on that pretty face of yours.
Was there a purpose?
What are you hiding from? Who?
You swapped out honesty,
for bold face lies covered in booze.
You took away the laughter,
for self inflicted pain,
Keeping others away,
no one can hurt you, right?
You threw away your pride, dignity, and morals,
just to save yourself.
Took away your own free will,
and left yourself in the middle of the night,
no one can hurt you, right?
Pretend you don't care,
turn in your real emotions for
another mental scar.
Change the bright colors,
to dull shades of gray.
Paint on that ugly smile,
just to make everyone else go

eye liner stains my face.
Broken glass in my purse,
ring on the floor.
Can't you see,
I just don't give a fuck anymore.
Drink myself stupid,
and blindly take you home.
Wake up in the morning,
collect myself,
and wonder what I've done.
Kick you out,
time for work,
paint a smile on my face,
to hide that evil smirk.
Hit a bowl to relax,
forget you for a minute.
Pick myself up,
and continue on,
like you don't exist.
What am I doing to myself?
What the fuck am I doing?

Shut up for a second, and listen to me.
The girl you knew, she's long gone.
I removed the mask,
this is what you get.
I will never hide behind someone else,
or something I'll never be.
If I'm going to get hurt, so be it.
Bring it on.
No lies to save myself,
no lies to save you.
What you see is what you get,
Have a nice cold serving of the truth.
No lowering my standards,
just to live up to your expectations.
You can't change a girl,
that doesn't want to be changed.
Wreckless EndangermentYou know that feeling,Wreckless Endangerment7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
when you want to just step on the gas,
and hope you crash,
and not ever wake up, or ever feel pain?
Well, that's what I did.
Yet I'm not asleep,
and this isn't a dream.
Head on collision with a brick wall.
The pain is intense.
But when it wears off,
I still have to pick up every thing
that was lost,
shattered along the way.
I can't just leave the scene of the crime,
without looking back.
Regret sinks in,
it's sickening.
My heart still beats for you.
And every beat sends chills up my spine.
Driving 90 miles an hour into a brick wall to forget you,
but you're still constantly on my mind.

when something starts to feel right?
I find myself thinking about you,
barely sleeping at night.
I can feel your arms around me,
even though you're not really there.
But so many people would say it's wrong,
and I think it's just not fair.
The heart wants what the heart wants,
even if it doesn't make sense.
I think I'm falling in love with you,
I just don't know it yet.

Every color you could possibly imagine.
It's you on the other line,
but the bottle is steering again.
Over and over, I silence the phone,
Over and over, I pretend I'm not home,
can't you see that I'm just hoping,
someday you decide to actually leave me alone?
It hurts to look back,
to know everything we had,
simply let itself fall through the cracks.
You say you are mine for the taking,
that you'll stay with me for the night.
Yet something in my stomach screams,
this isn't fucking right.
So go have another beer,
tell your friends you don't care,
but don't be surprised when you wake up tomorro
