Don't you worry darlin'
don't you fret your head.

Look up to the sky
'cause soon we'll all be dead.

Hope

When no one else ever seemed to notice me, You were the first to say "hello". And you did so with beaming joy. When I felt so outcast and alone from the world, You were the one who sat by my side. And listened with an open heart. When no one else would acknowledge my very existence, You were the one to reach out and bare your soul to me. And you made me feel like somebody. When I thought of so many reasons to die... You became my reason to live... And I will never forget that.

Why Do You Do This To Me?

You took my breath away then Watched me suffocate.

Literature

happiness despite tragedy

You clipped your wings that gripped the heavens and the stars that are now far. And now you're here, to wait to be saved, from a self created predicament. You enslaved yourself with probabilities of self hate which replicate; becoming real. And when disaster strikes, you grab a rope? No, you restore yourself. Lucid dream and fly. Make your own wings and fly away. To a place with everlasting dreams, where it's always feasible to succeed. Mind over matter, the notion of happiness despite tragedy. Success over failure. Trying over quitting.

there is no such thing as a sleeping poet

i know wandering and weeping poets with hardened eyes but gentle souls, and i know happy poets who took the world and gave it a heart, some broken poets who healed up well, some who don't want me to write their definition for them, but you can only hold on to so many words with two hands. my fingers swear i would never be sleeping; i am dreaming, remembering, or seeming to play dead. the poets who have healed sometimes check on their beds back in hell, the ones who always smile are those who cry the most, and the ones who point a pen at me and mouth don't you tell are dying for someone to speak. i am a math-poet. a science-poet. a pianist-

Best Friends Forever

There was a time when I performed lunch alone, Physically or mentally separated, My youth was a void best left underrated This depthless pit they threw me in, As any struggling animal would I climbed the slopes, Only to find them digging the pit deeper as I go It becomes hard to see far above, As the abyss turns to all you know- even as hands reach down to help A storm ensues buzzing around me, I rise above my hell only to sometimes fall, Straight down the hole I now helped recall ********** Then comes along a friend who makes you wish you were not dead, You ditch your prison, you throw down some dirt, You run away laughing, you build a

nuggets

Talent(?) So there's the abyss, and there is me, and there's the staring contest. "Say something", I scowl. I'm trying my best to get it to speak, so I can write it down. I try to tempt it by opening my gown. Sometimes I give it a rest, and then it speaks - when I least expect. Sometimes it seems lost, or it demands the cost in health and reputation, maybe even freedom, but I dread its absence far more than my own. This deep well of ideas is a greater womb than mine: it may give birth to truth, not just my clone. "Say something", I scowl - ever the night owl, listening inward to hear it breathing. It made some things hard, and set me apart,

Oh Brave New World

Imagine a world where there is no sorrow Or sadness, or pain, or dismay True, in this world there'd be no happiness But that's a small price to pay. Imagine a world where there is no regret Because nothing really matters No broken dreams, no broken hearts Because there are no hearts or dreams to shatter. Imagine a world where everything you have Is all that you desire A world where every person and thing Is easy to acquire. Imagine a world where every person Is dressed based on their class And your destiny is laid before you, A fate you can't surpass. Imagine a world where holidays Are just a pill away Or am I mistaking this

Depression Isn't Real

Depression isn’t true, my dear Depression isn’t real. It’s just a silly tragedy You’ve forced yourself to feel. Anxiety is fake, my friend You wonder why it’s there. But others have it worse than you! Stop forming false despair. Cutting is dramatic, love, It’s ugly, and it’s dumb. Why not just get over it? Is the attention fun? Suicide is stupid, dear, And selfish, if I may. Get over yourself, darling, Can you hear these things I say? Why aren’t you replying, love? Oh, where could you have gone? I never meant to hurt you, love, Did I say something wrong? Why aren’t you replying, dear

Outsider

Did you ever fit in? You tried to. No one could say you didn't try but you possessed something the others didn't have. A conscience worth listening to, intelligence and empathy, a knowing that came from deep within. Actually that's the reason you seemed older than all the rest. Those childish and silly, always willing to do stupid things, they would say you're missing out on life but then what sort of life do they have, with their false friends, who tend to vanish into thin air if really needed. Yes you did try but who's to say their way is correct. Stay true to yourself, it's better on the outside. Written by Suzanne Karbach

My Life Story Isn't A Poem

This is what it feels like to crumble down in a blazing squall. You are muffled gunshots wrecking yourself in high speed collision with his brass armor. You compress every eruption by choking ashes and swallowing shatter glasses because god forbid you are a frostbitten girl with hitched breath and messed up mascara and god forbid you are explosive and god forbid you crumble down because no, you are an inspiration and you are clenched fist and sculpted chest, you are concrete and you are statue, you are the ice cold dusk and YOU DON

Why Books Suck

Let me write you a story of all you want to hear. Of intercourse and romance, drugs and beer. Of simple plots and story devices, where no thinking is required. I'll even make it into a series, everything you've desired. Pick it up in the middle, why not? It's all the same. So-and-so get together, there's sex on every page. It's the best story in the world, and it only took me six days! Don't worry about morals, there's none to be learned. If you hate life-long lessons, then enjoy every word. The characters are flat with the basic of descriptions, with no voice of their own. If one dies, no tears will be shed, there's another just arou

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub.

i. to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub: in the magazine I own that published your story, they blurred out the crime scene photographs, erasing your face and the full curves of your breasts. some part of me wonders if you would have wanted this, or if you would have liked for the public to see you in your final moments, half-soaked in grey-looking water, your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain, eyes closed and mouth gaping, no breath stirring, no bubbles rising. ii. sometimes when I look into the depths of my bathroom sink, I hear your voice (or what I imagine it to be-- after all, we never met). you sit on the edge
