Sierra Staten Poems

Oh, how your words are spoken -
Their frame, their tone - allures.
Oh, how your words are open,
And how it reassures.
...

Sitting here,
hiding my depression
A fake smile will cover me
So long there's a Reflection
...

Hawaii.
Even in December the sun allows for Summer greatness,
with its fresh breeze and gentle wind;
sand engulfs my feet with its merciful burn.
...

Absolutely Broken.
Corrupt Determination Eliminating Future Goals.
Haven't Isolated Just Kindness...
Low-lives Manipulate, Neglect, Overpower Plus Question Random Souls
...

Let me memorize each dotted 'i'
of moonlights freckled face,
Trace the silver ripples
of a seashores wrinkled page
...

Covered in blisters, in stitches, in gauze;
Looking for an illness that might be the cause.
Skin paling, bones breaking, I'm falling apart;
'Tis a disease of the mind or disease of the heart?
...

In a sense of determination to find out who I really was;
I listened.
I listened to the voices that pleaded for somebody to hear what they had to say.
I despised those voices.
...

The love that unfolded made me ridiculously stupid.
I waited for you, for hours upon hours
waiting, hoping to see you once more that night.
You never came.
...

I'm sorry that everything I do is a mistake.
Everything that I've said and done, I regret.
And if I could take everything back I would,
faster than anyone else.
...

It is that sting,
That pain that reminds me that I haven't yet departed.
I have nothing left.
No courage to end what need be ended.
...
