Pieces

Pieces from songs

       Pieces from love

            Pieces from memories

And the things that we love.

Pieces from pain

       Pieces from hate

             Pieces from memories

And the things that make us, us.

Pieces from puzzles

       Pieces from pictures

             Pieces from memories

And the things that we treasure.

What if these pieces were lost

       Would we be who we are

             Would those memories be a past

To someone's future.

Or just some faint hint of something that use to be...

Care or Not

I throw my hands in the air,
                    As I try not to care.
I close my mouth,
                    As I try not to care.
I push my way through,
                    As I try not to care.
I go through this life,
                     As I try not to care.

But you see it's not easy,
                      To not have a care in the world.

I place my foot forward,
                       With every care in mind.
I speak with my mouth,
                        With every care in mind.
I write this piece,
                       With every care in mind.
I graduate this year,
                         With every care in mind.

Accidental life

Gone with the breeze
Out with the wind

Down the road
In the car

All I see
All I know

Flash before my eyes
Gone before my day

Crash of metal
Bend of fiberglass

Into town
Over by the high school

Lies me in the hospital

Tubes down my chest
IVs in my arms

My mind wonders
As I go through Hell

Seen by the strange
Meet by the intellect

Held by the sullen
Pieced together by faith

Hopeless as I laid
I fought for right

To live

On the Edge

I go to the roof of a 7-floor apartment building,
     I walk to the edge and look at the passing cars
          I hope no one notices me
I talk to myself about the things that would make me jump
     Bad relationships, no job, death of a loved one, nagging parents
          The list goes on and on
I talk to myself about the things that you keep me alive
     My family, my poetry, my dogs, my understanding teachers
          The list goes on and on

As for now the temptation
     Of jumping, ending my life
           Seems so far away; downward
I ask myself,
     "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"
If I jump...
     I'd be in a graveyard
          My loved ones would still be morning my tragic suicide
If I backed off...
     I'd be living life
          May be going to a picnic with my family
 I say to myself,
     "Will you go to that picnic?"
          Yes, is my answer, I will go to that picnic

I take a few steps backward
     I lay down on my stomach
          With my head resting on my folded arms
               My head perched out passed the edge of the roof

 This is peace in a way
      Found by my own regrets
          Bound together by my life

The Difference

Last night; I laid in my bed and thought
My life is boring
       I wake up
       I go to school
       Do homework
       Do chores
       Eat dinner
       And go to bed

You might say my life is set in stone
IT'S NOT

I want something new, fresh, different
I don't want my mom's life
I want to party, have fun, be free
I don't want to be time restricted
I want to set my own schedule
I don't want to me called a kid
I want to grow up in my own way
I don't want someone to tell me what I can't do
I want someone to believe in me

But as of right now my thoughts are just...
thoughts
And my life is just...
life

Jade(my teddy bear)

He feels, He sees, He thinks

He feels what i feel,
          Sorrow
                  Love
                        Happiness
                                  Pain

He sees me,
           Cry
                  Laugh
                       Struggle
                                 Whine

He thinks I am,
           Awesome
                  Scared
                        Daring
                                   Brave

I see, He sees
I think, He thinks
I feel, He feels

Home

I come home
I try to rest
   but rest seems unreachable
I'd get up
   but my body is weak from lack of sleep
I wonder how my night will fly by

Out-of-no where
   my body falls over in a deep sleep
Finally I get the sleep I need
That's until being Abruptly awakened
    by mom's yelling in the hall

After this i don't go back to sleep
I am awake for hours

This Is My HOME
