You, darling, are the color red Bright and bold Without, fear, proud of who you are Shameless in your daring I just wish That I could manage To be the same -Kel Dayheart
Epiphany
It starts small In the moment between breaths When you're lacking oxygen The epiphany hits you Like a drop kick to the stomach Or slap to the head It ignites something Bigger than a fire cracker But more contained than a forest fire -Kel Dayheart
Constitution
This says something About me And I do not believe That it is A good thing -Kel Dayheart
Pulled Seams
My arms wrapped around my waist Does nothing to help Hold me together When my seams are shredded And my heart Is spilling out Bleeding for the world to see -Kel Dayheart
Empathic
There is a certain kind of beauty In your tragedy That makes everyone cry Not in pity though But with you To share in your sadness -Kel Dayheart
Desolate
Compared to you I am Empty, A leaky bucket That has no hope Of ever being Filled -Kel Dayheart
Medicated
The more pills I take The easier they become to Swallow down The bitter pill That life has given Seems the same As all the others -Kel Dayheart
Platitude
"We deserve to be happy" Is the lie we tell ourselves Late at night Just like any other bedtime story A false hope that there will be A better time than this -Kel Dayheart
Envelope #14
I wrote you a thousand letters/ But I never posted them
Howl It Out
It's a full moon tonight And all I want to do is Howl and howl Until it all comes out Like the scream You hold beneath your skin With every bite of your tongue -Kel Dayheart
