These two poems are part of a set of four, so that's why H.O.P.E. is mentioned!
C.A.R.E. is for
Concern for those around me, even if it’s not reflected
A is for altruism- work in progress, but I’ll try
R for resilience because that’s what I’ll need to practice, and
Effusion for e because four walls can’t stop my thoughts
C.A.R.E. stands for care and nothing more
Because caring is a skill I will learn to adore
C.A.R.E. is to experience the world
Painful and confusing though it ends up at times
But I won’t stay in these walls forevermore
Because I’ve only ever learned outside of the halls
C.A.R.E. is how I’ll start to live
Even if I begin to wish the box was still with me
Only with the will to fly will I reach the sky
And only from the heights will my path begin to be mine.
———————
M.I.N.E. is for
M will be for mindful, learning to adapt
I is for inspired by those around me every day
N is for natural and being me in my entirety
E is back to effervescent because that’s who I want to be
M.I.N.E. is for a willingness to grow
Because now I want to learn how nobody is the same
I’m fascinated, please, teach me what you know
Let me make a library and place your book inside
M.I.N.E. to adapt and overcome
The way it’s uncomfortable will show me how to grow
Nothing good ever came without struggle, so I know
Giving up is easy, but I will keep moving on.
And a fall is just an opportunity
To learn and fly again
H.O.P.E. wasn’t right, in the end
M.I.N.E. for the person I want to be
C.A.R.E for the person I owe it to
Giving up is easy but M is to be mindful
Of my actions and the consequences that they will always bring
So giving up is easy, but I will learn to fly.
my desire has become a bloodsport.
a game of such violence
and such devotion,
i'm not sure which one
makes me more sick to look at.
is the hunt the worst part,
or is it the satisfaction
that comes from the
the thrill of the chase?
the relief that comes from
sinking your teeth
into something bloody
at the end of the finish line?
i don't even know how to
identify the things that i want
unless they're covered in blood
and begging to be left alone.

Tell me that
You’ve never seen a system with a crack
That however improbable
And however small
Someone fell down
And wasn’t welcomed back up.
Because only so many times
Can the nail be hammered
Before the wood begins to warp
And only so long
Can the earthquake go on
Before the ground begins to fail.
System failure, system failure
Throw the dying ones a rope
But cut off their hands before you do
Or this systematic failure could be fixed.
Tell me how you’ve never seen
Someone fall and fall and fall
Down a hole so deep
It swallowed them up
Never to be noticed again.
Letters on a paper
Ruining lives
Laws for people
Who have never been seen.
System failure, system failure
The hammer keeps on hitting
So cut off their hands
And keep shaking their world
So the systematic failure can thrive.
A thousand little lies
Every single day
From things just as simple
As the name I know so well
A thousand little lies
Floating in the air
I breathe them in and breathe them out
And I know their taste so well.
My tongue is sick and rotting
In this wretched mouth of mine
Because a thousand little lies
Make up this world of mine.
so I overreacted yesterday but we're so back now guys
reclusive child with elaborate imagination and maladaptive daydreaming to plural teenager who doesn’t identify with thier own body anymore pipeline is unfortunatelg real
If I could be anything
On this planet earth
I wouldn’t be a human
I’d be something free.
I wouldn’t be a human
No matter what you say
When the sky is so enticing and
My mind so trapped here now
I might choose to be a bird
And fly away from here
Or an insect with a view
Limited to me.
If I could be anything
I wouldn’t be a human
I’d let myself see
The world from the oceans
So blue and so deep
And I’d let myself sink
Away from humanity
Because if I could be anything
I wouldn’t be a human.
