Tragic
You are a tragic hero
Painted by society to
Deliver bottled hope
In the form of interviews
And manufactured speeches
Never really letting
Anyone know the human
Behind the golden mask
We will all mourn When you are gone
From our fleeting lives But not for too long
It is oh so tragic
That you are replaceable
It is oh so tragic
That you think you are one in a million
It is oh so tragic
When
You
Fall
Off
Your
Pedestal.
Peace
Peace is realizing I am flawed beyond belief,
Realizing that these flaws help to make me,
No matter how much they seem to hurt.
Peace is finding an inner acceptance with myself,
Knowing that there are things I can never change
And changing what I can in the time I have now.
Peace is standing for what is right no matter
How much it alienates you from others, because
There is nothing is worse than standing silent.
Peace is not the absence of darkness in the light
It is the light shining in the darkest of times
Making you twice as strong as you were before.
Barbie
From a young age, she was taught
A plastic doll was the ideal form,
An unattainable beauty to strive for
Or she would never get anywhere.
For years, she struggled with the idea
That she could never become this,
And she fought with the demons who
Tried to convince her that she was a failure.
One day, she realized she was beautiful,
The way she already looked in the mirror.
She didn’t have to be the child hood plastic doll;
She only had to be the best version of herself.
Android Daydream
Androids daydream of electric skies
Painted blue in rubber coated wires and
Clouds made of evolving information
Androids daydream of existence
Trying to understand their creator
And their difference from her
Androids daydream of humanity
Envious of feeling something more
But appalled by their destruction
Androids daydream of feelings
Wondering if they could ever feel
Or if it is just another part of the design
Androids daydream of becoming human
Having real skin and real emotions instead
Of being ostracized for their mechanical heart
Anxiety
Anxiety is the invisible monster
Following my every single step
Treating the outside world as a
Series of disasters out to get me
She whispers in both of my ears,
Reminding me of everything I have to fear
The pain, relationships, school, work
The world is such a scary place to be
She keeps me awake with growling at night,
Lurking beneath my bed, uncomfortable noticed
We think of my future and mistakes of I’ve made
No stone is left unturned when we are together
She
She simply makes me want to tear my hair out
At the sound of her nasally cold voice in my ear,
Signifying her anxiety at every little insignificant thing.
She makes me want to scream like an animal
At her pathetic, listless demeanor suggesting,
That she is already dead to all on the inside.
She makes me want to beat down the walls
At her guarded language with others, believing
It’s better to keep everyone out than the potential pain.
She makes me want to shatter the mirror into pieces
At the sight of her eyes staring back into mine,
Knowing the monsters get the better of us both.
Push Them Away
Push them away with sarcastic insults
Designed to hit where they are weakest
Push them away with walls too high
Ones that they cannot break through
Push them away with a distant demeanor
Cutting yourself off, edging them out
Push them away by sharing nothing
No one would care enough anyway
After all, who wants to hear about
The monsters and demons you are facing
