Far Lapenna Poems

Softly ticking, an insistent thrill,
The wall, my phone, my head is still
A million questions asked
Why me?
...

Boredom seeps in
Uninvited and whining
What is the Teacher saying?
I can't tell, I'm writing
...

Have you ever felt like Needle and Thread?
When life goes right over your head,
That’s the Seamstress stopping.
Trying to think, to be accurate;
...

I’m avoiding dreams of blackness,
I don’t want any trouble.
But even if I sprouted wings,
I’d still fall and stumble.
...

We always seemed to spit and fight
It was always very rough,
But we always made up in the end
And we helped each other out.
...

Teeth glistening from the recent kill
The flesh bursts and the heartbeat falls still
The eyes glint and the bloodlust pours out
The heartbeat begins again, and the victim, shouts
...

I don't see the point in watching TV all day long
I don't see the point in acting like I belong
I don't see the point in doing my own homework
I don't see the point in ignoring someone's smirk
...

What is beauty? Where is it?
Many people have opinions
But no decision can commit
It is my sister's smile
...

Stop complaining about it hurting,
Stop humiliating me.
You have to just stop and think,
Just about what you need.
...

Screams lash from a sore throat
Teeth clash like a saliva filled boat
Hell is unleashed in eyes only
Don't be fooled, only the beginning
...
