Vanessa Kingsley Poems

The feeling in my stomach makes me feel empty inside
Thoughts I do not understand keep running through my mind
Times I think I’ll be ok
I end up mad and scared and hurt and end up fighting tears all day
...

One too many pills popped
One cut I made too deep
One more meal I couldn't eat
One more night I couldn't sleep
...

Soft beeps woke me to a world
I do not know
Something inside of me stirs restlessly
Nothing is truly entering my mind
...

Would you do this to another?
Why do I get the feeling you wouldn’t?
Did I do something to you, you dislike?
Or maybe I didn’t do enough
...

Would you do this to another?
Why do I get the feeling you wouldn’t?
Did I do something to you, you dislike?
Or maybe I didn’t do enough
...

The chandelier hangs above the polished ballroom
Figures in costumes and masks clutter the floor
Laughter pings against the sparkling walls
I stand in the middle
...

You could have a million dollars
Sitting in the palm of your hand
And still complain about something
And probably cry again
...

Petals of velvet float through the trees
The storm has passed
The wind has eased
A cry of shock echoes in the air
...

Near to summer in this town
Feels like autumn right here
On a bench in an active park
Heartbroken and feeling alone
...

So much green
Everywhere
I write with pencil
To create permanent with pen
...
