Eye of the Storm

Don't

Talk to me that way

You know

All the best ways to make me feel afraid.

I won't 

Tolerate it anymore

Let you

Push me off my chair to the golden floor.


I am

Past surviving now

Turns out

Being scared

Has made me immune to all your sounds

You have

Made me into this

Dark Sounding

Eulogy of truthful bliss.


So now I am the eye of the storm

Calm but raging reckless reform

I let you

Underestimate me once

But never again.

  And we were dancing in the rain Got told we were insane  But the concrete was wet With proof of our steps High on caffeine  We were making a scene The trees spinned with us Rustling their dripping leaves enough To make me see This is where I was meant to be

Backstabbed

  “You've changed for the worst.” Go ahead tell me what you heard Try to come at me, make me hurt. See me at my lowest, and then desert. But I rose up from my pain Broke all my restraints And I’ve dealt with all the shame You try to make me feel. All this gossip behind my back I try to fight, then you attack From the other side With dastardly lies. And nobody seems to see My side. Nobody tries to read What they try to hide. And all the fake friends Are coming at me again We’re doing a dangerous dance And you’ve cheated, dagger in your hands. But I can rise up From all your backstabbing I can shut you up If I drown out your voice with my singing.

  So today is my birthday, and I decided to do something special for it, so I wrote a poem:) Looking back I’ve had some rough times Been taken by surprise Grown thick skin, tried to hide Almost believed my wings weren't meant to fly. Looking back, I tried to keep stable Relationships that weren't able To work out With people who were too loud. Saying sorry doesn't heal things Then they asked why I was dying And crying When they were lying. But now I’m doing better In a new niche not cornered Writing poems of the former Documenting all the storms. But now there’s no looking back Developing a new tact Not focusing on what I lack Instead on those who have my back. So thank you to those who remember me Who don’t think my suffering is funny You’re the ones who keep me going The ones who keep me growing.
