Zena Blank Poems

Its funny
Distance
Thousands of kilometers
Simply measurement
...

I can’t compare you to anyone
No one else is like you

No one else has that jaw
...

See this space beside me, that's where you should be
See this hand, it should be holding onto yours
See these eyes, they should be looking into yours
See these feet, they should be walking beside yours
...

They say ignorance is bliss
They're wrong
Ignorance ruins us
Let's us watch others fall apart
...

No physical damage
yet you are in deaths hands
his clutches tighten ever so slightly
day by day
...

I surrender
my white flag is waving
upon what I once called mine
all my glory
...

Little duckling
awkward and flightless
try as he might
he cannot gain years fast enough
...

one step forward
two steps back

never getting anywhere
a constant vortex
...

we are told to raise our voices
to speak out
express ourselves
let the world know what we think
...

I need to feel
break out of this skin
the skin of a stranger
I don't know my own reflection
...
