Little Bird Poetry

You’ve been missing from me for too long, Yet not long enough you bastard, Leave me be, leave me be, leave me be, You’re a monster from a child’s nightmare, You’re a gilded golden snare that seeks to entangle me, You’re a roaring flames that burns like the sun that desires to engulf me, All you want is my flesh, my body, my looks, No desire for my heart, Or my thoughts, Or my soul that hums with reverberating waves of ceaseless energy, I simply don’t understand how a sight, So desired to see, Can stab me, Cold in the heart, With daggers forged of ice.

I love people, All people, The well-loved, The wallflower, The athlete, And the ones filled with religious zeal, I love all people, As I do not believe any of them are truly evil, I do not think that anyone is born to be cruel, To be cold, To be heinous, Although my love for people does not waiver, My hope at times does, The thoughts like, “He said that…?”, “She really feels that way…?”, “They actually did it…?”, Seep through miniscule cracks of my subconscious, And taint the pure waters of waking thought, My love grows each day, As I meet more and more people, As I learn and grow with each occurrence, As I roll with each punch, Yet there is fault in this love. A cold hard pavement that wakes me up after falling from such highs. I love people, Yet they do not always love me too, I’ve given all to those who receive little, I’ve given all to those who receive a lot, I’ve been told not everyone deserves love, But how ca...

I don’t understand the cruelty of people I don’t understand how one could look upon their fleshly brother and see nothing Why is it I could walk into any school And find those who are unloved Find those who are forgotten Abused Unknown There are many people who are kind and genuine and amazing Yet will always fall short in the eyes of most I love these types of people The ones who are jewels in plain sight They are always more unique as a fingerprint Or beautiful as a setting sun

It streams in his veins like all the liquor he drank It dances through the words he screams It pulsates in the air around him It glows a fiery red in his fighting hands It slowly seeps into me It takes over my mind

They whisper my name I hear it in the halls I hear it ring Giggles Laughter Crooked fingers pointed to me Like guns ready to fire Please just kill me

I'm surrounded by people Yet I'm just alone No one to turn to No one to speak to I'm alone in a crowded room On my own island of existence I linger and sigh As I look at the massive waves around me I so desire to leave this place To venture out To find someone I'm just so alone In a room full of people

I think of you during all hours, you, and your seductive powers, that sly smile never turned towards me, and it never will be, so into my mind I turn into the place where my passion burns, thinking of things, giving my love wings, as I daydream you'll come back to me, I know it'll never be, but inside my head anything can happen, so I stay inside when I can.
