There's a golden crown

Of shame sitting at the top of my head

like a halo.

And under my tongue festers my

father's need to stay silent,

and my mother's urge to be known.

Trembling fingers grasping eachother,

A silent

Sorry excuse of a prayer;

"Bring the stars down on me."

And at night

When the sky is too cloudy to see

The stars,

My whispered question to God

is bouncing of the walls of my room:

Am I loved?

The echoes sounding like footsteps from childhood,

And the only comfort I am yearning for is from a six-year-old me.

Shaky knees and eyes drowned,

'I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry'

- a hug that could heal, by Solace

It was

Only at your absence that I noticed

That your presence were

The hands of a 13-year-old me

choking me.

Fragile fingers desperately strangling my throat.

And a phone call,

Ending at 36 minutes meant

Fingers letting loose

And love.

Love,

Oh there was so much of it.

And yet I ached for more.

Cracked lips and aching fingers I craved

to be drowned in it.

I can't tell anyone

what I'm feeling because

it's all these crashing waves of

emotions

Drowning me in my own bones.

And to you?

To you they'd just be words.

Letters mixed with my anguished sobs.

So I lock all my sorrows in my eyes

And pray you see it,

Because

I never thought about how

Lonely

Drowning is.

My childhood is buried

deep in my bones,

Memories running through

my blood keeping me alive.

Like pearls inside a seashell, I have carefully placed them between

my ribs,

into my core.

And I am the diver

Collecting these seconds

of experienced love,

in awe of them in my hands,

a treasure in my heart.

Love actually is real.

I heard her footsteps when she walked into my livingroom last night.

There she sat down and laughed with my sisters and I.

She trailed her fingers across our old pictures of our childhood and hummed with quiet nostalgia,

Late in the night, when sleep had covered us up with his blanket, Love got up and quietly exited.

And tomorrow, when I wake and walk into the kitchen, I know that as soon as my siblings wake up, Love will be opening that front door to my house.

There is a pomegranate seed the size of a fist

Stuck in

My throat,

And I keep trying to list the things about me

that I never told anyone

To prove myself

I have always existed

They say 70% of a body is made of love

(Or was it water?)

Tonight I am dehydrated,

I have wept it all out,

Being strangled by it on it's way

out.

Cried myself a river,

Saw it grow into an ocean.

But water lives in a cycle;

Tomorrow I shall be floating,

Gathering up pieces of myself

Until I am strong

Enough to be brought back to earth.

- not a bad thing, just a sad one. By Solace

I missed church this morning because three of my friends were sleeping over

I missed church this morning because I couldn't miss the moment they all woke up,

When the light starts to enter the

room,

When laughter pours in and fills

every empty corner,

When breathing becomes easier

And tomorrow doesn't feel like

a burden anymore.

I missed chrurch this morning but God was still all around.

And these thoughts I'm having are the same ones my father felt inside of him when he was young,

Intertwined

And my unyielding love for my sisters must be the very same love my mother has,

Intertwined

And whenever I'm anxious I play with the golden watch my grandfather gave my grandmother,

Intertwined

And if I'm happy my laugh mimics that of my friends

Intertwined

And whenever I'm sad I shed tears that have passed trough this earth a thousand times.

Intertwined

Is there another way to exist on earth than to be rooted among decades of love?

Overwhelmed by the need to live.

And this loneliness

Is a pit in my stomach

Pulling

me

Down.

But it's the crippling

Understanding

that I'm

not known

by anyone

That fills my mind as my eyes catch the last rays of sun.

And how do you get help

When you know you have a signal,

But no one to send the SOS message to?

There's a lion in the zoo in my home town.

They put a picture of it in the newspaper.

It's bright and untamed mane clashing next to the snowy ground,

Pawprints behind it that should not exist in this place.

The hollowness in it's eyes

as it looks at the cage

we have forced upon it

must be something

manmade.

And I can't stop the cries

in my mind;

Haven't we learned from our mistakes?

We have chained ourselves in these cities,

killed the nature around us, and taught to the children that this is how it should be, that

People don't belong in the wild.

But I share the same hunger as that lion.

An all devouring need to be free,

And we're both harbouring a hatred that will someday grow deep and strong enough to break us out of here.

Let the wild things be free.

And I feel like I'm losing

The touch to poetry,

Although I could never dare to think I had it in the first place.

But how else do I explain that everything I write sounds like someone else?

That I feel like a liar typing this out?

writing in a language

I wear as a mask.

Because words are too real when they're spoken in the tongue of your childhood.

They hold too much memory.

The little wizard sat on the rooftop of his all too lonely house,

His feet dangling in the air,

above the world,

Beneath the skyline.

His eyes towards the night,

His hands reaching to the stars.

"Bless me, little fires, teach me to fly."

The little wizard picked the stars from the nightsky,

Pressed them onto his heart,

Into his mouth.

"Bless me, little fires, teach me to burn up there,

rather than fade away down below."

I think

There was a

Poem

in me yesterday.

But I lost it,

In the memories,

Under my footsteps.
