Today I shall write in cursive,
And try something new.
I'm tired of the same old script,
So I'll try something different. How about you?
...
You know what's wierd?
I don't even have to look you in the eyes
Because I already know you
I don't know how,
...
The best of both worlds:
Yeah, that's what I need.
Curves and lines,
Anything can be mine.
...
I'm broken
But what broke me?
I don't have a clue
But you're trying to fix me
...
When I was little...
I wanted to be black
So I'd feel less guilt about slaves.
I wanted to be fat
...
What do you do
When the only person
Who can see the tears
Is drowning in their own?
...
I knew you as
Simple imperfection
Beautiful
But scarred and lost
...
What have I done?
I can't shake the feeling that
I can't turn this around
I've wasted so many months
...
There lies a body
Behind blue eyes
Who bleeds and cries
But makes no sound.
...
I did it.
The tears mixed with the red and
I screamed.
I cried out in pain.
...
Nothing hurts more
Than when you feel no pain
Lost in your own game
Will life ever be the same?
...
I'm falling
Falling into the darkness
To a place of no return
Catching glimpses of light
...
They say the only thing you should fear
Is fear itself.
If that's true,
Then why do I fear so much more?
...
Sitting across the room,
I can feel your presence.
I don't heve to look up.
Some how I just know
...
My name is Marianne. Ever since I was little, I have loved to write. But recently, I've found that poetry is one of my favorite things of all. I've been writing poems almost nonstop and post all of them on this website. But the reason I post them is not because I want to be praised and famous (which probably wouldn't happen anyway) . I am not the oldest person out there, and people often put me down for it. I post these poems to show people that, even if you're young, you can still understand a lot. I know it's stupid, but that's the reason I'm here and I'm sticking to it. Thank you for reading :))
Savior
I've been broken so many times
Mentally abused
Scared out of my mind
Silent
I don't trust anyone
They lie
I can see it in their eyes
But then there's you
I can't NOT trust you
No matter how much it kills me
God, I don't even KNOW you
And you're already my savior
I need to talk to you
Listen to you
Hear your heartbeat
Know it's pure
I need to look into your eyes
And see your soul
There's nothing need more
I need you to hug my head to your chest
And whisper
'It's ok,
I'm here
Forever.'
But, for now that's just a dream
You don't even know me
And you probably never will
No matter how much I need you
Fairytales are never real
But, I know, whether I can admit it or not
I think I love you
It scares me
But it's true
Your poems and the themes you choose are amazing
