after the fact

the silence that returns

in reverse

like its cursed

says of course:

its not the figure

that is faced 

but the obstacle

that spans the gap;

a soundproofing that 

rebounds

what’s been

caught in this glass

trapped like some

common wasp

frozen and

never meant

to last

there’s no

portal to be freed

no revelation no gasp

from the other side

just a moment

by moment

by moment

ripping

of substance

from the surface

like a stripping

of wax

Even My Reflection is Embarrassed by Me

You idiot, you have something stuck between your front teeth. That's disgusting. You're embarrassing me!

Opposite

Human human facing me

I see every opposite thing you're seeing through me.

Don't be hard to yourself.

Love, mirror

Reflection, Mine

Do you love me?

Sometimes you look with hate

I’ve known you long

Your eyes meet mine each day

You avoid me

As if to try and hide

Your true feelings

I reflect from deep inside

You smile no longer

Like you did when you were young

Playing dress up

And dancing up a storm

Where did you go?

You’ve changed so much with time

Human, human

Signed,

Your Reflection, Mine

Letters at 17

Look at me

Through your reflection.

Mirror steamed in self esteem

You are beautiful

The world is not as it seems.

All the tears you shed last night

Will mean nothing 10 years from now.

Your life is not determined

By the noise around you.

Wipe the steam from the glass

See our eyes looking through you,

Every piece of you is in me

You have the world at your fingertips.

Yet your skin is soaked in doubt

Let these words wash over you.

I will stand and watch

Those tears you mask

With a shower.

Hold on little girl

Dry your hair ,wipe your face

You will find your place.

So much will happen between now and then, you will bury two best friends.

Remember to kiss Brian

Instead of making other plans

He will not be alive after tonight.

He believed in you,

Long before you believed in yourself

He just didn’t believe in living long enough.

Spend more time with Nikki.

She has held the weight for you

Carried your anchor as you became her ship, she loved life, she loved you.

 Cystic fibrosis will take her from this place… Remember her life was fought all the way through. 

She wanted to survive when all else was lost.

Lay lilies on the grave of the ones you 
Really loved , except you. 

Don’t bury yourself in ghost, they are in their final resting place. 

Stop screaming at your parents, they cannot control what this earth takes , they just want their daughter back. 

Remember to love and hold on tighter

To those who held your hand when it really mattered. I pray you find hope beyond those green eyes, walk within the truth … Not in lies. 

Dry your skin, it covers your flesh. 

Holds your soul behind curtains , the one you never let in. 

That little voice, that tells you to think twice, she is me.. Listen to her words, they have a lot to say. 

Wipe the lipstick off your lips, you don’t have to be that girl. 

Show the world the real you, and what you have to hold. They will still love you, when you cannot love yourself…. 

Signed the reflection of myself
