Because I was drunk
(From multiple perspectives; all true stories of my loved ones)
Because I was drunk I
Felt happy for the first time in awhile,
Called up an asshole; then said I mis-dialed,
Got up the nerve to ask that one girl to dance,
Decided to give my father a second chance,
Told my ex's boyfriend that he should pop her cherry,
Stole my mother's last bottle of sherry,
Gave money to that one homeless man who smelled
Or...maybe it was a woman, it was hard to tell,
Then had a buddy drive us to Taco Bell,
Passed out on the dance floor...twice
Maybe thrice,
So I had to leave by Mushu-ismybestfriend, literature
Literature
So I had to leave
What you said
"I
Love you"
I know you meant it (Didn't you?)
Then you left
And everything was
Supposed to
Go back
Wasn't it?
I could not let you go
If I could just make you see
What you somehow saw before
Where did you go?
As I continue to search
You will humor me
Because you feel guilty
Please no more pity
It only lasted a few weeks
So maybe it wasn't real
What I felt
What I feel
But then
Things became so much more complex
Maybe if it hadn't...
I could've left
Trying to make you jealous
Yeah it backfired
What transpired it should have been
Me
But you don't see anymore
You're not alive anymore
The empty shell
I know not who I am
No longer where I stand
I am not the product
Only the reaction
To when a person laughs
And I laugh in time to a rhythmic drum
Now it's my cue to smile
While your speech is a gentle hum
I can thaw the numb
Always the daily reminder
That this will never let me free
I want to be
Without the pawing doubt
that shreds my sane thoughts
Now is it due to the virgin hope
That I wish to sabotage possible happiness?
Is happiness not what I deserve?
I am a slave with no master to serve
Save this inner turmoil
Which I seek to purge
I long for nothing more than peace
Can there not be a cease fire?
I am so exhausted
Cigarette ashes
Like whip's lashes,
The gray haze
Swirl with a finger to spell out the days
Since you last had him,
Meanwhile fill the 'tray to the brim
Sit back and inhale and think
Where it went stale; remember blink
Now a swallow and a breath,
Exhale, flick butts to the left (away from the cat)
Then back to mouth in one fluid motion
Each is another discarded notion
No more warmth, no more laughter
Time to face life after,
In a moment though,
One more before you go
Then dab it out,
Leave your thoughts where they lay
Another memory best forgotten in an ashtray

Friendship Poems- Jill
There is a person that I know,
She's a little astucious and self aware,
Her commitment and opinion she bestows,
My friend Jill is always there
Never does she hesitate
To stand up for what she believes,
So much time she dedicates;
She strives, overcomes and achieves
Aside from academic excellence,
And an opinionated disposition,
I've seen a side of compassionate benevolence,
A maternal instinct that has taken fruition
My sullen demeanor is heavy and thickly overcast,
She is the star that shines through,
My desolate sky is vast,
Yet no match, it overlaps into a blue hew
Jill, I don't know how to thank you
Don't know what else t

Literature
Don't trust me
Listen! Do you not hear the warning bells wring?
I warn you now
If there is a song you must sing
Let it not fall on my ears
I am not your trustee
I'm who you've always feared most
Don't you see?
This is not a boast
When sneaking on you is a trepidation
It is most likely due to my holding you
Under the guise of settling your nerves in cessation
This is your forewarning
Those who constantly reassure you trust
Are often the first to betray it
I'm offering you a headstart
Now, run!

Friendship Poems- Emily
Whenever I hear another referred to as Emily
I refuse to acknowledge it,
Because you are Emily
And they are nobodys
Emily, tell me
How have these years escaped from me?
Weren't we once 10, on the playground
Standing 4 and a half feet?
How many of those days did I let slip past,
Soaking in self righteous sorrow?
Instead of enjoying what then was now
With you
Thinking there would always be tomorrow?
There is such recentness in our found closeness,
And though for this I take responsibility,
Let's not dwell on what I cannot change,
Surrounded daily by your honesty,
Fellow contept for idiocy,
And a joking companion amidst
Seriou
I guard my precious tears,
No one can take them from me,
There has not yet been a fear
That could claim a flood of seas
I take pride in that I am strong
In whatever encounter I should face,
Weakness and me just don't belong,
So never was there a trace
I then desired to drown
The desert of my calloused, and parched entity,
But the warm flecks say I am honorbound
That apathy remain my identity
I cannot cry for me;
To evoke emotion would mean
To regard the reasons worthy,
And I have never been
But today I cry for you
Because you are suffering so,
I didn't so that you would return the virtue
Still they flow and wash away the s

You're only
my best friend,
I only love you
More than potatoes
You're only

Hilarious

Sincere
And
Vulnerable

A tad...selfish

I think I'd even live

Friendship Poems- Ashley
We haven't known eachother long
So maybe I am wrong
In what I'm thinking,
But we have become good friends, haven't we?
I don't like many;
People are superficial, insecure and so
annoying aren't they?
But, hey I know you aren't that way,
In this short time I've been such a lucky
Party to see and get to know you as I have
Thank you for that
There are the random inside jokes;
My reverance of the round one,
Coloring books,
Rachel needs to eat quotes,
That get us quizzical looks
You're leaving soon,
That is so saddening to me,
Please stay in touch,
Because we've lost enough, haven't we?

No longer words to speak
Rhythm flat-lined
Like my heart
I breathe.
Air enters and leaves.
I breathe.
I breathe, I breathe, I breathe.
I choke yet still, my throat constricts.
I panic.
My chest tightens; my eyes widen
My hands open wide at my sides
Splayed desperately
To grip to something tangible,
Real. Reliable.
The urge to give into the madness
Peaks, ebbs and abates
Despair withheld.
The eyes of mine close
Shutting off the shocked bright white.
Calmness returns
And a small breathe rushes in
Satisfying.
Turned to gasps; relief to breathe
And live.
Shaking and rocking ensues,
Gladly
With childish sad happy tears.
Holding on for one more day,
One more week,
One more year.
When will this end?
Pushing off saying goodbye,
For one more day,
One more week,
One more year.
Hoping it will get better.
Over the course of one more day,
One more week,
One more year.
This is the final straw.
The ties have all been cut,
No more attraction is there.
The last hope has faded.

So hey there! I've been on deviantart for 8 months and have finally decided to write a bit about myself. Perhaps because it's Day of Silence and I feel the need to let my thoughts out somehow.
I'm a 18 year old queer female who loves to listen and be the shoulder to lean on. Most days. Sometimes I get a little edgy when the sentiment isn't reciprocated, but for the most part I love to. And even if I don't that particular moment I'll be there anyway. Weird? Yes. Potatoes are the best food on the planet, just sayin'. I write poems mostly to get my thoughts in order and try to determine what exactly it is that I am feeling. Not the best at it but hey I persevere! I have depression, among other things I'm sure that have just never been diagnosed. For the moment, though I am feeling rather good about life and all of its possibilities.
Hm what else...I am big on gay rights and just human rights in general. In my opinion everyone has the right to be happy. And be happy how they deem fit unless it should conflict with another's rights. So yeah. I care about the world, I am determined to do my part to change it for the better in anyway I can. My first choice would be to be able to go to 3rd world countries and help out but should that not work out my next choice would be psychiatry. I am big on laughter both to uplift the spirits and cynically. I'm a bit insecure but I'm working on it.
Probably will add on to this later.

I'm ok. And that's the difference I think. Before, one thing could go wrong and like a domino effect I'd let everything go to hell.
There's some stuff, no doubt. I most likely won't graduate, but can't bring myself to fully grasp what this means. I'm just...letting it happen. And every now and then I feel the self hatred swell within me once again, but then I quash it and collect myself. I'm trying, I really really am. I would have liked to think I came back from Snowball a brand new person, but that's idiotic. I'm still me, just with new insight. But at this point I'm not sure what to do. And everyone is leaving, going off to school..and th
So I went to this leadership program. It makes me want to laugh, calling it that, because really it was so much more than that. And I can't explain it. I don't know exactly the moment when we went from being observers (the other students and I) to being in the thick of things, and a family. Even the people whose names I never learned (and that was more than half) there was such a calm, and such honesty. It was like we could let ourselves actually breathe, and we didn't have to put on an act for eachother. The moment when I knew for sure the entire atmosphere had changed was walking back from the bathroom to the mess hall. A girl just started
