Coffee: a poem


Four seats at a table
In that little café.
Hot drinks in hand,
Open hearts in chest.
Smiles on lips,
Tears on lashes.

Do others look on
Wondering why they
Talk in hushed voices?
Wonder how can
People so young
Know so much sorrow?

Do others look on
Wondering why they
Laugh loud with no regret?
Wonder how can
People so young
Show so much love?

not looking: a poem

Would you like to know when I love you the most? When you don’t even know I’m looking. When you don’t know I’m looking, I can see your mind working silently. It’s a beautiful picture. Though you are still, it’s as if I could see your thoughts moving, swirling, busy. Your eyes searching and alive, it’s captivating to watch. When you don’t know I’m looking, I can see you feel the music you play. Nothing compares to times like that. Your brows furrow, just barely, singing the lyrics and eyes close, being part of the moment. Your voice fills the room with sound that calms me and strumming that fills my heart.

Maybe that’s why I can’t move on. I know we can’t be the same And I don’t want to go back because I was severely depressed Tired of sex The picture of a wreck But what did I do to you for you to treat me like this When I broke your heart I broke mine as well Rarely a day goes by that I don’t think of us ...

Authenticity

   Through all the bad I’ve been through and talk about on here, this is the most me I feel I have ever felt and I’m damn proud of it. I think through all I’ve gone through and lost, I found someone I actually like and that’s me. I’m miles from who I was a few years ago and I’m so happy about that. I’ve stopped relying on peoples opinions because I’ve realized the most important persons opinion on myself is my own.    A year ago I would have been horrified to leave the house with nothing less then a full face of makeup on, where as now I rarely wear any. Not to say that I don’t wear makeup as a screw you to society or whoever, but I’m more comfortable in my own skin so that I don’t feel  I have to unless I want to wear it. I’m also the heaviest I’ve ever been but I’m also the most confident I’ve ever been. Sure, some days I feel fat but I’m not obsessive about what I wear and how skinny it makes me look. I wear something nice if I want to look nice but I’ve sta...
