Through the Eyes OF Innocence

Another high school English assignment- not sure what year though- but I must have been a real emo teenager.


Where do we go from here?
I am cold, angry & filled with fear.
Daddy is black, mommy is white,
society wont ever let our family be right.

Despite what they know, despite what they see,
My family & I together we will be.

But they bashed it down, tore it apart,
my family, my home,my broken heart.


Alone on this dark, damp, dirty floor I sit & weep.
Close to my heart, district six I must keep.
For never again shall reign.
All I have left are my tears, my thoughts and my pain.

This graveyard that was once my past, my future, my life,
is where I hoped to one day become a wife.

But they bashed it down, tore it apart,
my family, my home, my broken heart.

Twice Unwanted

You said, sometimes people have to fall apart to fall back together. You said this was a matter of the heart. I say, an ex-lover just spun me a great line so he can break my heart for the second time! I thought it was a night of passion for two souls meant to be, I see now that it was just curiosity and you wanting to see, Did you still do it for me and do I still do it for you? You wrote me songs and told me stories, so you could seek out some kind of glory, But the earth never moved, the stars didn't suddenly align We are not two star-crossed lovers able to turn back time. I spend hours crying trying to find the meaning,  watching the clock and my phone and staring at the ceiling, I am back to that little girl you hurt all those years ago, broken and lost, I can still taste my tears from the first time you made me feel worthless and tossed. You never made me feel special, yet I hung on your every word I showered you with af...

Mommy Spoke to God Today

Mommy spoke to god today I’m not sure what the two of them had to say, but she’s angry- and happy and needs to wash her sins away. Today is the day, she shaves off her hair and takes off her clothes and runs into the sea. I’m only eleven and scared and all alone, she tells me to sit in the car quietly,  But to the police I feel forced to plea. She’s spitting and fighting and then the doctors come; now she sits there quietly just hating me. Without the meds, I know I will lose her and with them she is permanently lost at sea.  This disease has robbed me of a mother; I have paid the ultimate cost. I am angry, I  feel I have raised you, my needs, to the side they were tossed. I yearn for something I have never known- a mother’s wisdom I crave. But instead you are lost in your thoughts-your mind a never ending maze.  You don't sleep, so neither do I,they call it mania and it's a high unbearable to those you leave behind and then the...

Caught in Time

There isn't much that I know about life's t ruths and laws, I know too much about its disconnects and flaws, and suddenly you are here with your harmonious hymns  and together we are caught up in spontaneous whims. After all this time our eyes meet once more, and all of those memories flood back through my heart's door.  It all comes back to me, the taste of your lips  the feeling of my skin between your fingers as you grab my hips, you kiss my neck and pull me tight your arms around my body couldn't feel more right. Your hands on my thighs as you pull off my dress and I'm floating as you slowly work your way up my breasts. with a kiss on my neck, our bodies are in sync once again, I nibble on your lip and we forget all of the past's pain. It's like no time has passed at all and you still smell the same,  I breathe you in, I hold my breath, I fear I will lose you again.  I savor every second of your he...
