alisha gonzales Poems

Trees and dirt
I'm just like them I'm the scum of the earth
Chants and spells
For the well-being and revenge on which we dwell,
...

I see the world in my own array of colors
I paint my story every time I bleed
I leave a handprint where I used to be
i live my life
...

if you can catch bubbles on your tongue,
can you also breathe pure air into your lungs?
do you believe in fairy tales?
do you believe that love prevails?
...

numb to the expressions of the outside world
for years of exile
in my lonely dark room
i wait collecting tears
...

you came uninvited
you broke into me
and stole my soon to be new baby
you broke my heart
...

im standing on a cliff
with a needle in my arm
i stare at the clouds while
the voices whisper around me
...

inside i am ugly
nothing but darkness within
no beauty to behold
only sorrow to be shamefully told
...

Everyone suffering
All of us
This written in tears
They say: no hope, my dear
...

my eyes throw razors
they cut conversations
my ears hear whispers
they ignore my roommate
...
