maddie bird

Moon shines down onto Earth
But does she ever really shine?
Or does she just reflect Sun’s light
A sad excuse for originality
...

Completely new
Fresh start
No past
No stones cast
...

Stars are twinkling
The night sky swallows them whole
They call out for help
...

You say you want a revolution
but the Constitution
and John Lennon are dead.
Yoko Ono's alone in the bed,
...

Longing
Yearning
Reaching
Searching
...

Smiling
Frowning
Laughing
Crying
...

I'm not the one that you want, I'll only let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for my...'
...

When everyone's trying to change you
Into what they want you to be
It's hard to know who you are
And to stick to what is true
...

Swinging
Running
Screaming
Flying
...

Stars
cold, calculating
watching, singing, shining
-a stunning guiding light
...

Promises are never meant
And they are certainly never kept
Always the best of intentions
Never the best of consequences
...

Persephone, darling, come to me
Dance on the Earth in jollity
And let spring reign supreme once more.
I know you’re bound to Hades’ shore,
...

Time
is an ocean
of tears
that is
...

Sleep
A nurturing mother
A torturing beast
Two sides of a coin
...

Anger
Sharp as a dagger
Clouding judgement
Making you
...

...

Underneath a waterfall
Plants growing abundantly while smiling at me
Fish tickling my legs
Water crashing down loudly onto rocks like free energy
...

You're crying
You're shaking
The sky is falling in blocks
Around you
...

The mother gone
The father mad
The brothers crying
The sister's numb
...

...
