Directionless Path

There are many paths one can take

Some paths paved with rainbows and butterflies

Over darkened but revenge and rage

The greatest path of all is long and never ending

Working at it day by day

Caring for it all the way is part of the journey

But the outcome is greater than one could envision

Through the countless sleepless nights

For love is worth walking on hot rocks

And climbing over mountains

For a feeling that you share with only one another

Is a gift and so be thanked not taken for granted 

The Undertaking

A drama, a love story, a coming of age novel, a horror story, and an action adventure, everything in one bind together is the high school experience. Not just my high school story, but everyone who has ever survived the longest four years of their lives. It would be generic and a lie to say everyone goes through the same journey, because everyone life and situation is different, but it is true. Just like every person has a nose every nose has an embarrassing high school story. Just like every person has two ears, every pair of ears has two terrible high school rumors about them. Just like every person has a mouth, every mouth laugh will those one or two absolute best friends in high school. Just like every person has two eyes, every pair of eyes has two swords, one stabbed in the back and the other in the heat. No to people in the world have the exact face, no to people in the world have the exact journey, but in the end they survive and become who they are for the better or for the worse. Either way no journey, is a journey with taking the first step, into a building filled with hormonal teenagers that are just as clueless as yourself. Don’t worry, you will survive. Just know that it doesn’t last forever. It may feel that way now, just look at how far you’ve come when hope gets lost and the tunnels go dim, try to imagine how far you can go, what you will achieve, because you are great. 

My Disorder

in thirty minutes

he had everything

figured out and as if

my words were plugged into

a math equation 

y=mx+b equals

anxiety disorder 

he must of said those words

a hundred times as if

it was my new name

for i am now another 

broken teenager that can be fixed

with just one pill a day

now i’m normal

according to society and medicine

but why do i feel so abnormal

not in control of my life

the prescripttion, has a suicidenote

which is strange 

cause i have never thought 

about an escape route

till now

whats wrong with me

how many more appointments 

and it could be this

or it could be this

till i am happy

and possible even smile

Fantasy

if i lose my self tonight

at least it will be by your side

for you only get one life

and i want it to be with you

through thick and thin

through the bad and ugly

for it will make one hell of a story

as we ride together in the sunset

on our magical unicorn Chloe

His Own

the way you move

it as if everything you do is perfect

from the long strides in the hallways

to your heavy breathing after a touchdown

all of it feels me with little precise butterflies

fluttering in perfect in a beautiful lullaby 

Clear and Revealing

the color of your eyes

glimmer like that of a golden retriever 

in the heat of the summer

his hair glisten 

like those in fair tails

and mystical stories

don’t even get me started 

on the sharpness of his

perfectly edged jaw

as it meets together forming 

the perfect chin 

that sits perfectly upon my head

and he hugs be from behind

the lips that are natural soft

no need for chap stick 

for the kisses are like those

of imaginary baby angles with bows and arrows

Capricious

Don’t get it twisted

Don’t try to understand 

Don’t feel sorry for me

Don’t pretend that you care

Don’t cry 

Don’t fake it

Don’t wear black

Don’t place flowers

Don’t like the Facebook pages

Don’t live as if it effects you

Do live

Do love

And do what makes you happy

Just like I did

Imagination

tonight i sat at home

imaging what i would be doing

if i was there

having fun

dancing like an idiot

with a boy that loved me

even through i cant dance

for if i dream the same dream

enough maybe it will happen

Cuddling

listen closely for the beat is pounding

as the sweat slowly dips

the goosebumps on my stomach begin to rise

as the pressure on my neck

makes me lose control

every emotion is heighten

moving every muscle in our bodies

intertwined feeling together as one 

Losing You

i watch what i say

as i am afraid of what

my tongue may slip up

for i fear the look

upon you pretty face

would be disappointment 

as your beautiful smile

turns into anger and confusion

so in the meantime

i will keep my words

to my heart and soul

but do know this

that one day

whether you want to or not

you ears will hear those three words

for they have been replaying

in a loop over and over again

and will continue 

until i find the courage 

to overcome my greatest fear

life moves on
enjoy the show

life moves on

enjoy the show

Fourth Period

I had a dream last night

Next to number on

New York’s bestsellers list

Was my last name

This was until I received 

My English paper back

I’m on a roll

What can I say

Four D’s in a row

My future is looking so bright
