Thank You (2008) Edited (2012)


Thank You

Thank you for making me think I was a waste of space.
Thank you for creating the monsters I had to face.
Thank you for making me frown, and unbearable pain.
Thank you for making these scars and these clouds full of rain.
Thank you for drowning my confidence, my hope, my heart.
Thank you for telling that lie, "we will not fall apart."
Thank you for disregarding my endless list of doubts.
Thank you for not listening to my poetic shouts.

Thank you for chaining me to depression and fears.
Thank you for never wiping away my warm tears.

Thank you for the real friends, that after you I gained--
without your disloyalty, I would still be chained.

Excellent Auburn Jewel

Dear Washington, You consumed my joy yet you also added smile You stole my proof-- Proof that there is such thing as fate, that there is such thing as defeating one's fears, and meeting your wish, on the road to Damascus. Take care of my joy, my wish Take care of my Friend

Alone

Alone This has happened before, fighting on my own. Self-hatred and sadness, thin marks, and bruised bone. The urges still haunt me, I see red and relief  The pain still controls me, that old friend, a thief. Stealing my sanity, my strength, my progress My brush needs a canvas ,I'll gently  caress  I have missed you, master,  the love you have shown. Convincing and charming, making me feel alone.

Memories

Boxed up with a bow, gift beautiful, secure wrapped in soft cloth, feeling happy and sure. Now the tape is torn,not well kept together cut open with holes, tossed like a weak feather.  The gift is shattered, but remains in that box damaged, unworthy, weighed down by giant rocks.  Rocks that dent the shape, that was rebuilt so well admired gently, ringing praises like a bell.  Fixed way too quickly, ripped apart in pieces scattered everywhere, the burden increases. Swept up in one scoop, little noise to the ears. Swept up in one day, a gift wrapped for eight years. -Belle Rose
