  Ode to a Lost Soul

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  To fight a grueling battle Of course leaves you with scars But when the blood’s no longer flowing How do they tell you who you are? Others can not see them Unless you choose to shed the light And the more you let them know The more obvious they are in sight Mine twist all around my body ...

  Yellow Light

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  Empty- hollow. Ache. What’s a steel safe worth if it’s protecting nothing? Fill it. Stuff. Bite; after bite; after bite. I’ll whisper my secrets in ears, left to right, whisper my dark intentions, my battle with the bowl. I’ll whisper and whisper until my voice is too faint to be heard, or; ...

  Can't Describe

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  How can you describe what can’t be Depicted through mere utterings? There is not way you would understand I would only end up stuttering. It’s beautiful, it fills my being In a way I can’t explain. Without it I am worthless And that’s why I fight the pain. Every day it wears me ...

  Step 3

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  Step 2: my heart beats in a rhythm so sweet Though it’s poisoned me before Let’s close that memories door Because this is new, this is you, and you are concrete! So unlike the roses with fresh young voices I have no thorns; because of you they are gone Dear, as for moi, now you’re love...

  Madd.

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  The first time she held me With the pride of her struggle Her hopes reached the stars With what I could be. Clocks couldn’t keep up As my soul flourished in the dirt My mother fertilized with her love And I grew away from pain, far above. Dirty knees I wore Assignments I brought home ...

  Without a Dent

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  Guilt guilt guilt What a weight to bear Imagining it greater The pain you couldn't share! They look into yours They see right through lies The tense fear you disguise It glints in your eyes. Tell the truth, tell the truth Get rid of the pressure And for good measure Apologize! Al...

  Another I am From

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  I am from Fantasy Lane, clay wars, and roaming the forest with The Beatles melodies filling the stillness in between the trees. I am from rolling soft hills of sand, reminding me of the good times had by all when the world seemed larger than life. I am from my ‘Kingdom’, where a wh...

  Lady Moon

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  She follows, watching, staring Behind the backless sky Illuminated by a halo of wispy cloud Centered in the black of the night eye Deeply asking everyone below What their life has amounted to Questioning who they are If they glance into the royal blue Mesmerized you could stand there Un...

  Pokemon Cards

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  It started with a kiss Over Pokemon cards A feeling that was far Pulled back into me. It stayed and grew stronger Till it overpowered all My resistance began to thaw I fell in love. So much love was in me When his started to fade And I was left to wade Through tears and uncertainty. ...

  The Essence of Everything

  

  By Sarahtime, Lilburn, GA

  Alone, no not alone, but it feels like that. Wondering if I will ever go to SCAD. Whatever does the future bring? I fill black and white with coloring. Angry, no not really, but it seems that way. Each trial I must overcome every day. What will my lost temper cause? My hands, burnt, are wra...
