A Dry Throat And A Bloody Back

Christ

 

The hazel in my eyes are more green than they were supposed to be

I’m supposed to be seeing through a normal frame,

Through my rutile quartz-colored eyes.

 Not a rich emerald green.

But, as it seems, that I am always denied, especially by myself.

But it is only because I’ve been rejected first and it has been hard-wired in my brain now. 

Feeling irrelevant to the point that I sympathize with the white walls of the school, 

Oh, you could’ve gotten your riches and your gold

The greedy pain that your heart beholds 

But you didn’t go deep enough into the deal, didn’t even make it to the day where we were gonna sign it on the dotted line

A lovely stranger happily signatured the contract, you see

I’m a pleasurable and likable person, you see

Telling you so you believe it 

And maybe if you believe it so I could faithfully agree as well

Mirrors tell me that the shadows behind me are my friends

Yet when I look back, 

I see only one physical friend here, 

The light in my room too keep my portrait clear and not like paint is going to drip down my face like a lighter being placed directly on candle wax

    Read your bio on your home page. Go for it. the greater range of people contribute here the better.
    I personally don't find poetry involving intimate personal relationships (love) very interesting (being polite here) so there are many times when I don't comment at all...
    Look after yourself.

          After reading your bio I must say I'm impressed,at your age I was still wallowing after my crush. Keep up cant wait to read more from you

            🙂 I'm always glad to hear that. Most people think I'm a lot older than I claim to be, and I've always been an older soul, and can get along and understand adults more than people my age. But I've found someone my age that is someone like me, philosophical and poetic, and I love her very much (she's my best friend). I've always strived to touch someone's heart, to let people know that I am here, no matter your age ranges at.
