Kai Bredwell Poem
Y'all
I am just so d#mn happy to be alive
Trees are green!
The ground smells earthy and warm!
Music exists and it's amazing!
My stomach is full of spaghetti
And I bounced on a trampoline today!
I cannot fully express
Just how much
I have fallen in love with life

Kai Bredwell Poem
I want so many things
I want to be kissed on the cheek
I want to be told
"Your hair looks so soft!
Can I feel it?"
I want to be hugged
As though I could slip away at any second
I want so many mundane things
But of course
I could never say any of that
To do so would be to break social standing
And status quo
So instead
I spout it off to the internet
Online
Or in a journal
Where faceless beings
Or future historians
Might read it and feel
The mortifying horror of asking
All of us agreeing
To pretend we don't want it too

Kai Bredwell Poem
No one remembers
Second to last place
No one recalls
That name or that face
If you ask who came first
The crowd yells and cheers
If you ask who came last
The crowd boos and jeers
But the one standing next to him
Never gets called
There are no tomatoes
Just one huge brick wall

Kai Bredwell Poem
I want to spend my life under the covers
They drape over me
And live up to their name
There are monsters out there that are out to get me
As soon as I take these covers off
So I try to bring them with me
With a sweatshirt
Or a blanket
Once I leaned over in a shirt
But it is never the same
Until I excise these demons on my chest
I'm under the covers
I stay
No one will see

Kai Bredwell Poem
Oh, to be a broken Christmas light
Surrounded by the glitter burning bright,
While dampened by the blanket of the broke.
People look and think you are a joke.
You are alone, surrounded by the life
Of your friends, yet you are here in strife.
You try your best to glow, but you are done.
You sputter, spluck, and suck out all the fun.
They see you glow, just barely being bright,
While all your friends illuminate the night.
They take you out and throw you in the trash.
I see you there, alone among the ash.
The single, sad, and solemn Christmas light.
Left to die, because it wasn't right.
Your little glow was good enough for me.
It made my life a little brighter, see.

Throw it into the void
Maybe someone will read it
Maybe someone will love it, be moved
Prolly not tho

Kai Bredwell Poem
The world is loud
Everyone speaks in a rhythm I can't understand
They look at me strangely when I offer myself
And they believe I know what I have said
They are speaking another language
And there is no dictionary

Kai Bredwell Poem
I was listening to some songs of love
On my way home from work
It was dark
And cold
I just had my little phone flashlight
No coat
And about two miles of hills ahead of me
And it turns out
When you ride your bike
In the cold
With songs of love
And at night
They turn into songs of tragedy
With about two miles ahead of you
But then I looked up at the sky
And I saw the stars
And I remembered
That it was okay, actually
And that I had chosen this
So unless you can look up and see the stars
Don't go riding at night
In the cold
Listening to songs of love
With about two miles ahead of you

Kai Bredwell Poem
The world is on fire
There's a man with a bucket we put on the floor
We scream at him to Do something!
While locked behind a green glass door
