Two balls of light are split between skies of day and night. One, we absolutely need. It's warmth is the reason behind life on this planet. However, you must not look at it. Such a powerful force will only burn you. The other is shy and frivolous, never showing us its true form. Rumors say it has a dark side. Rumors say it brings out the beast in man. However, rumors also said it is made of cheese, and we all know that's not true. Both are beautiful, both are luminous, both run away when the sky changes color, both can get covered by clouds but never fail to reappear, both watch us from above. Let's put on a good show.

You make me grin; Here are some shards. You make me laugh; Here is some glue to put them together. You make me happy with your presence. In your hands is my gift; It's still beating. A frown takes over your radiant smile. My grin crumbles. Oh no. Have I done something wrong? What can I do to make your effects on me the same for you? Whenever I was down, A simple smile upon your lips, Turned my way, Would fix everything. I can't do the same for you. You leave my gift on the table And walk away. It turns to dust, Still pulsing. I gather my gift And sprinkle it over myself. It sinks back into my chest, Behind the rib cage. Was my heart not

Dear 21 year old me, How does it feel to be able to do everything And be a complete adult? Do you even know how to do everything that our parents did? Honestly, all I know about taxes are Sales tax What it is How prices lie How to calculate it And that April 15th marks the beginning of tax season So how do they really work? Do you live in a house? An apartment? On your own? Did you move back in with our parents? If so, how do they feel about that? Are you planning on leaving anytime soon? Or are you just pushing the thought away, Saying "later" everyday? Did you get an engineering degree? Did you publish a book? Have you created anything t

Fingers gently skim your skin Arms enclose you You feel safe Nothing can hurt you in your fortress Your human fortress Lips dab the top of your head You lean back To rest your head in the crook of a shoulder A shoulder connected to a pair of ears They listen to your woes If you want The mouth that kissed your head will speak If not You can find comfort in silence That's what I want you to have Instead, you can only reach out and grab The cold, lifeless screen You can only read what I want Instead of experience it As close as possible But so far away I'm sorry I can't give you more

Don't know what I'm doing with my life Know I really don't know strife Got no right to complain Still no worth to my name Not even trying How sad Who could possibly be More pathetic than me No attraction No reaction Delving deeper than I ever wanted Stop pulling me out Stop pushing me down What's wrong with Relaxing I might never have a chance to do it again Get off my case I know Even though it doesn't look like it The future's All I know Just waiting for it to grow Nothing to do now It's a shame I can't do anything So close What does it matter Every time I try I fail I don't care I sail What message is this sending What insight is th

I wish I was thinner You say While sitting on the couch And eating cookies

BANG! Slash Kick Punch Slip Fall Hit Run Scratch Claw Scream Cry Laugh Smile But it doesn't reach your eyes Can you hear it? Loud and clear? Turn Leave You didn't notice Drop Crawl Sit Stare Can you tell?

I keep on opening my mouth But the words don't come out The pencil in my hand Taps    Taps        Taps On the page Sprinkling little gray dots But no story The canvas refuses to be filled It is as blank as my mind

Up on the throne The king glowers down His subjects lie before him So boring So mindless But after all The kingdom takes after the king Behind the throne sits a shadow Watching all unfold Directing the pawns with suggestions And waiting for the rebellion to unfurl The seed the shadow planted has been watered By the melted crown of the fool The shadow dispersed Its entertainment finished The town lay behind it Now only tinder The shadow miscalculated But no matter Watching a castle burn down Is entertainment enough For now the shadow travels on Whispering in any ear it can find Telling its sad tale Of being the only survivor From a kingdom R

School starts today Hip-hip hooray! Is that want you want me to say? You want me to welcome all this stress That turns each student's life into an absolute mess? Teachers breathing down our necks Smacking tests in our faces like we're pests Due dates jotting on our calendars Obscuring the purity of snow with horrible deeds You want me to bow before Google As our educators ask us for answers we do not own Drilling useless facts into our minds Transforming each and every one of us into a drone One that spits out information only to malfunction and have our hard-drives erased Only after waking up before the sun That is Do you want me to succumb
