Joshua Wyatt Poems

You throw these words at me.
These words cut me.
They make me bleed.
...

I made the rules.
With them restricted myself.
But why do i do this?
Why do i make rules to contain myself?
...

The heart grows bigger with each passing day.
It pumps stronger and louder.
The warmth inside just grows and grows.
My heart just never stops growing.
...

You sat across from me
Your little smile brought such joy to me.

I tried not to look for too long.
...

They have to go,
these emotions can not stay.
That's what everyone is telling me.
Telling me it is the right thing to do.
...

I touch my face,
just to make sure i am there.

This body doesn't feel like my own.
...

Never dealt with it did we
We just danced around the issue
No one would get really hurt.
...or so we thought.
...

I walk into the bathroom,
Stare into the mirror.

I stare for a few moments,
...

My body is giving me signs.
Telling me that i can't continue like this.
That i can't live with all of this on my shoulders.
I am leeting everything pile up.
...

The happen without warning.
In the most random places.
They have no pattern.
Not guided by a time line.
...
