Kayla Burress Poems

I’m alive…
Am I?
Swinging from high to low,
I can never really be sure.
...

Sorry is
and always will be
nothing but a lie.
You see, the thing is,
...

I live my life in a waiting room,
anticipating my turn.
I wait for plan A to fail,
and for him to notice it's been me all along.
...

You filled my head with promises
You didn't mean to keep.
They all tell me I'm better off,
Yet still I sit and weep.
...

Just you and your piano
Singing songs already written
While I sing my new-sung song,
Cold and frost-bitten.
...

I may not be pretty like some other girls.
I may not be as smart.
I may not be all there in my head,
But I'm all there in heart.
...
