eve coleman Poems

The squeak of sneakers
The pounding of feet
The sounds on court
Are just so sweet.
...

It’s hard being a person
In a world like our own
It’s hard being a person
When nobody knows.

The cookies said, “Eat me, ”
The drink said, “Drink me, ”
Alice followed instructions
Quite diligently.
...

Proud to be different
Proud to be unique
Proud to be a loser
Proud to be a freak.
...

I’m finally on the road
The road to
Nowhere.
No pit stops in society
...

Broken, beaten
damaged, scarred.
You don't have to tell these kids
that life is hard.
...

I am
A failure
Certainly not
Special
...

Discoveries about myself
Negativity towards me
Learning how to fake a smile
Attempting to be unique.
...

I want to buy a train ticket to Nowhere
And watch the familiar land
Pass by my eyes
Slowly turning into nothingness.
...

She hides her scars
With long sleeved shirts.
She hides her pain
Despite how much it hurts.
