two

i am being torn in two

following Them

the one who made me

who will always love me

who gave me life

but whos followers say i am wrong for being me

that i am undesirable

and my life is a sin

my love

then i found those who said i was right

that i am wanted

my life is beautiful

my love

but they make Them the punchline of every joke

they make all Their followers out to be cruel and cold

and say we are all wrong

do i have to choose between

a communith that only aproves of half of me

or drifting alone

i hear hate in the walls of a place meant to spread love

and cruel jokes in a place meant to everyone

and the jokes can make me laugh

until they scream 'go away'

and the hate can only be shoved out of my mind so many times

before it pushed me out

how hard can it be to follow Them and be me

without being torn in two

i fight so hard to stay whole

to keep my core intact

that holy light is intertwined with rainbows

and it filles me with hope

so why do they try so hard to unravel what should be left alone

They are the im here

that im here to love and smile and cry and feel

they are the reason i know who i am and dont hate what i cannot controle

They worked through them

and they where made that way by Them

you cant tear me in two because there where never two sperate things

you can try

and sometimes you will make me feel like it works

but i am

filled with Their holy light threaded with a promise

[poetsofthestars]

prayer to a Holy and Loving God

they say You created day and night

what of the sunsets and the sunrises

and all the colours that flow between

are we not created in Your image?

they say You commanded us to love all

and i do

how i love till my heart burst

and they call it evil

how can love You filled me with be wrong?

they say i cannot be Yours if i live as myself

why God would You reject me for living as you created me?

God they also say following you is wrong

they laugh

and mock You

and i try to live in You

to spread Your love

and i know they mean no harm

for they have been hurt in Your name as i have

God im so tired of balencing

please

i dont want to be torn in two

for Your holy light

God it shines in a rainbow of colors

a woven tapestry

to unwind the holy light from the vibrant shades

would destroy me

i wouldnt be me with out You God

but i wouldnt be if i didnt live how You made me

please God hold me together

power

the ones in power stay in their tower

and keep sending the kids to hell

and they are dying and hurting and coming out broken

bleeding burnt out and unwell

they stare us in the face and tell us to keep pace

to manage our time while the school bell chimes

and we all suffer another day

we work and work while teachers lurk

some helping some hurting

all underpaid and tired

those who care cry out

but adult do doubt

and our pleas all go amiss

and some recive deaths final kiss

and others pains embrace

and they ignore case after case

up in their tower

sitting on their thrones of power

looking down

i find ways to sooth the pain

they never work long

hands over ears held so long i cant feel

nails digging into skin the distraction too short

ways to block sounds never enough

pain

it's safer alone

but i know the most discreet ways to block sound

i have the crescent moons marked on palms and arms

the earplugs dangle a of the pain

[poetsofthestars]

*fall*

a rush of wind moving past

empty space

where *he* should be

where he always was

but never will be again

because he fell

and he has no wings to rise back up

he may be my angel but God denied him his wings

and he *fell*

and i am alone

empty space i never felt before

quite i never used to mind

a hole in my heart to never be filled

and yet

they all say to move on

how can i just pass over the pain

maybe i learn to push it down

but not yet

because i still see him fall

every night he falls

and i can never catch him

[poetsofthestars]

Icarus

i am icarus

you are my sun

i gather my wings and fly so high

as high as you ask to finally be right for you

i ignore the burns and shield my eyes from the hurt

untili fall

to far to pretend the burns arent there

for the sun burns

it burns and i cant ignore it anymore

because im not the only one crying out in pain

and i scream up at you

but the distance is to far for the words to reach you

so i stop

for you have forgotten i exist

an tiny spec compared to you

and even while the burns heal

i still crave your warmth

and i hate that

for while i had it it was glorious

you shined so bright

but i remind myself

of the darkness of night

i always liked night better anyway

the quite and peace

freedom

no pressure to be where you want me

but even at night you shine

luckily so many stars in the sky are brighter

i cant help remember how you would faithfully rise every morning

and greet me with joy

until you stopped and i had to chase after every ray

the clouds got thicker

filling in

until

i fell back to the ocean

and the sea soothed my burns

they are still there

still raw

but they will heal

as all wounds do over time

i am icarus and falling may have been the best thing to happen to me

i am icarus

and you are no longer my sun

[poetsofthestars]

tired

im tired

tired of fighting my own brain

to do things that are suppost to be easy

it all piles up

and i watch

in horror

in fear

still as stone

because i could easily remove one brick

but im stuck

im so so tired

each block gets harder to reach

and the wall grows

and the most i can do

is paint flowers on the lowest row

because i know it will never move

i am trapped

and tired

when will i get to rest

those with bricks turned into roads yell at me to hurry up

im stuggling to keep my current pace

how long have i stood on this pedastel

my fellow weeping angels are long gone

having broken their curse

while i..

i am still encased in stone

watching

unable to do what i need

tommorow i say

but i know that tomorrow will never come

and i am to tired to care

[poetsofthestars]

you see everything

yet

you dont see whats right in front of you

what i offer every morning

what you have won without trying

and what i one day hope to win in return

i worry you will leave

and never know

how you stole my heart

the one crime you couldnt puzzle out

and the one mystery i was never able to write out

i hope that in the future

there will be others like me

who will read between the lines

and give us the story we deserve

but for now

my dreams will have to suffice

goodnight sherlock

[poetsofthestars]

sorry

im sorry

i know i say it too much

im sorry

i dont know what else to say

im sorry

i did something wrong

im sorry

i messed up

im sorry

please forgive me

im sorry

dont hate me

im sorry

im trying

im sorry

maybe its better to dissapear

im sorry

be silent

im sorry

fade away

im sorry

if im not there i cant do wrong

im sorry

us

we talk for hours under the stars

trading stories, heat flush across our faces

memories swap between us amd i remeber our first meeting

under the sky and rain falling around us

a shield over my head

now i sit alone in the night

no one to tell storied to, cold as snow

memories a painful reminder as tears fall from the sky

nothing to protect me

why love?

we could have been us

[poetsofthestars]

Miss you like a friend you havent seen in years but every time you meet you hug and laugh and cry

Miss you like you miss your bed after a long day away from home

Miss you like the grass misses rain in the summer

Miss you like an angel misses his demon and bookshop

Miss you like a student misses sleep

Miss you like adults miss being a kid

Miss you like a kid wants freedom

Miss you despite never having you I’m my arms

Miss you in a way that can’t be put into words

It’s always ineffable

The ways i love and miss you

[poetsofthestars]

for I am icarus and you are my sun

you simply exist and how you hurt me

but I am no better for I keep flying closer 

and I laugh as I fall for I know I would do it again

For I am icarus and you are the sun

You burn bright and blinding and oh how it hurts

but still I fly higher and higher

and as I fall, feather turning to ash before my eyes, I laugh for I know I would do it until the end

fall again and again if only to fall into you

but the sun goes away

night falls and the birds don't sing

the stars appear, a pitiful imitation of your brilliance, and I long for your light

you will rise again and I will fly and maybe then I will reach your embrace 

and when we collide, I will bear the flames to feel your touch once again

you are my sun and together we will watch the world

[poetsofthestars]

the trail is lit

well worn and walked a million times over

branches arch over

leaves drifting down

fog covers what lays ahead

but the path is clear

but my heart longs to take a turn

to push through reaching twings

feel the burn of the scrapes

reach out and pluck berries from their place

have an adventure

but i fear of walking off a cliff

but maybe that is where my set path leads

maybe by vearing off course is the way a survive

maybe i will find a home in the fog

or a clearing where our paths converge

a place to call home

to share with you

[poetsofthestars]

a ripple across my surface a reflection disturbed i try to stay calm smooth every distortion never let any disruption show

i flinch at any sound for fear of the circles spreading making sure my mirror only shows the best as clear as echos river forced to repeat noises

pain spreading and sharp pinches like fish hooks dig in i push and pull and it still stays no matter how hard i try tides ever contant a small lull in the waves, a moment of silence

i start to notice who throws the biggest stones who laughs at the ripples i try to hide who takes pebbles home instead when the most visitors my shore tends to hold where they arrive from
