Listen
This was a collection of poems I wrote in my freshman year of highschool about a crush. It was the first time I had ever been struck by the cupid's arrow. I never showed this to them, but who knows, maybe its better that way.
How do I start this here
If the rest of world only makes me shed tears.
If there is a scar on my heart
For some reason, the cars don't start
The mind doesn't know
But these rhymes still flow
But I find no interest to do so
A stray on the highway, gray sky
With the morning fog, and a mourning dog
Who wanders with a blind eye
Half believes what he sees,
Who's his peer, who's to tease,
Who’s the female dog, the one who gave
To many dachshunds in her cave.
Is that the voice of his favorite beagle?
It does make him fly high like an eagle
In his mind, because his real life is timed
And his real self is afraid and really shy
But he feels like he can break the bubble,
As this beagle keeps him out of trouble.
As you can see, my mind kind of timed
a black hole, it's obscure look does hook
my eyes and brain but the depths of it
are of both gain and pain,
there's much confusion,
maybe this is an illusion,
I don't know, whatever it is,
I probably don't want it to go
I can't pay attention in class
because of this thing I don't know,
can't sleep
because of this feeling I can't describe,
I'm writing here but this all sounds too crazy
some people would say it's love
but I don't know
others say it's something to do with hormones
but I don't know
I wonder what tone this future holds
cause this all here is way too bold
and unclear simultaneously
and this is just soooooooo damn annoying
yet soothing for some apparent reason
look, this so called love thing or whatever
is really bothering but comforting
ughhh
like I want a mic but my hands won't grip
I want to swim but I don't want to get wet
it's like wanting something for nothing
and I clearly realize that, but still I do nothing
like I am some sort of spectator
but I'm not
I don't know
if these words come from the mind
or the heart,
what if I could just throw
nevermind I shouldn't think of ifs
I should look ahead at the road
stomp the toad
get back my mood
ignore my dudes
that say this and that about you
if you're a bad bet,
well then you'll be a regret
but I don't see that yet
that scares me,
that scares me,
but I know I have to let go of that fear,
let you hear
what I have to say about you, dear,
should I end this right here
maybe, maybe not,
at least this isn't a rope
that could get tied up like a knot
but even though that knot may be entangled
looking from another angle,
see the strength of it,
how it is bonded to itself
and it won't let go easily,
this thing inside of me
is like a big ball of fire
waiting to explode,
but it's like that knot on the rope,
it won't let go of it's own in hope
don't feel afraid to say no to me
I will understand hopefully
just don't humiliate me if that's the case
this is just proof that you did change me
you got me back into reading,
I appreciate that,
it's an awesome experience
you also made me start writing stories
and get back to poetry and stuff,
I know this sounds damn weird
you could be thinking like
this kid is a weirdo
better stay away
or something, I don't know
maybe you won't even read all of this
maybe you don't even think of me
so it renders this whole thing useless,
maybe,
maybe,
fucking hate that word,
leaves me in a stalemate
well, I guess I've said enough,
actually way too much
none of these words describes you
because I couldn't find any
yet.
It's a bell, angle C
Miss a cell, Chang’ll see
His intel, scrambled sea
Fits the shell, bangs will cease
Miss Adele, strangled peace
At this point I'm not sure
The thought of you is only a blur
But the heart beats for you
All 3 previous lines
Just morphed into a hand
Waving back
At the window
Jk, I wish, though.
Right now I'm in maybe land,
I see a smile I smile
I see a frown I frown
I see nothing I feel nothing
if there was a how-to for all this
It would be easier
but like all easy challenges
there would be no lesson learned
no feeling felt
no shedding tears
no cracking smiles
no limbo
no imperfections
no stumbling
no mumbling
I'll step out of the sun
So that I don't burn
But I'm still not done,
I'm waiting for my turn
Weak rhymes might
Leak fine light
That cuts deep into the skin
Excess D, the vitamin
Skin went from pale
Like when you kick the pail
To the color of sand,
Anakin disbands
And goes to the dark side
Black suit hides the marked thighs
And the prosthetic legs
Replacing the ones with nutmeg
On the jalapeno land
A nice mexican theme
In a telenovela steam
A boiling pot.
A blue jeep running over my red pump
That keeps life, not the one that makes
Breathing turn into gasping,
Bleeding from the slugs, shot
From the one with the mugshot
Ignoring all that,
Actually I take that back
It all exists in a world like this
A black mist that packs fists
In the midst of a simple hiss
From a sluggish snake
Swerving through the crowd
Undetected as if underground
But still vulnerable and bound
To get downed with a pound
From the agile rat
And the fragile bat
Maybe a magic cat
But not in a hat,
The doctor would be worse
With the rhymes of a nurse
Too cheap to peep a glance
And reap the deep romance
From within the inner him
Filled of pills of vitamin
Well, I'll ring the bell,
Change to acute angles
See the brute Wrangler
Not a stranger, just a strangler
To the son of Spangler
With the poor heart
Not bought at a store mart
How does Clark Kent say he's Superman?
How does a muscle man say he's big?
It's ripped apart, this colored heart
But not like one nation in two carts
Or a conflict with two sides
But more like the three branches
One for ducks, one for just, and one for must
Then come together
Under the same weather
Exactly
Eggsactly?
Nope, that's for the snake
He wants it to bake a cake
Maybe for a wedding
Maybe for embedding
I don't know his thoughts
He says there's two other thoughts
Other than eggs, and that he's trying
But he keeps them a secret
Hopefully he's not preying
On the one I'm spying
That's all that I'm praying
But hey, even if the plane doesn't land,
Even if my brain doesn't plan
Some type of way to get to you
Then I'll be okay
And this long poem will be a testimony
To my first true crush, that made me phony
Okay, so for the moment
The heart and mind are still.
