catharsis

catharsis: the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions

My emotions are strong, but not repressed. Because of this fact, I found the time to write more mediocre poetry. I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Seedling

the green maple seed knows no sorrow
born crisp and alive
hugging tightly to branches of entirety
it cannot understand that it will brown soon
and fall to the ground tomorrow

it is attached, a full and confident extension of something that makes sense
unity

it is one with many
but like it's cousin, the lost penny,
the shock of self-identity and the responsibility of redefinition
bring grief and unwarranted power
for the fallen maple seed feels dead and knows deep sorrow

nothing can replace what it once lost
love

Applesauce

cherry picked
he's a dick
heart wrenched
thirst not quenched
flip-flopped
hat-topped
applesauced
we both lost
mish-moshed
squish-squashed

Fool's Gold

sometimes I write you
but then I throw it away
I am so foolish

Alliteration

really red roller skates
ravenous raccoons rumble
railroad Ringo Ranch

  

Teeter-totter

I'll pretend that you don't have a girlfriend, if you'll pretend that I'm not in love with you

I'll pretend that I am listening, if you'll pretend to be interesting

I'll pretend to be just like them, if you'll pretend to be normal too

I'll pretend to give a shit, if you'll pretend to be apathetic

I'll  pretend that I didn't see, if you'll pretend like it didn't happen

I'll pretend to be anything you want me to be, if you'll pretend that you have all control

I'll pretend not to be judgmental, if you'll pretend that you never cry

I'll pretend to respect you, if you'll pretend to have courage

I'll pretend that it's okay, we'll just be friends, if you'll pretend not to crush the people you walk upon

I'll pretend to care, if you'll pretend not to

I'll pretend that you are a figment of my imagination, a hallucination, if you'll pretend that you have no effect on anybody, ever

I'll pretend that I like relationships, so long as you'll pretend to do the same

Ode to my last relationship

girl meets boy
boy is coy
girl falls in love with boy
boy doesn't love girl
girl goes crazy
everything is hazy
girl gets sadboy gets mad
girl says goodbye
boy continues to lie
girls gets sucked back in
boy thinks he has the win
girl feels like she will drown
boy hides his frown
girl needs to move on
boy keeps running his con
girl pretends like everything is dead
quick, your draw
