Rat Rat Poem
lakes are great,
the peaceful sounds.
to drift me away,
off the edge of the ground.
i want the lake,
to sink me down,
off and away,
round and round.
i want the lake.
to take the hurt,
and hide it deep inside the dirt.

Rat Rat Poem
oh how i envy the moon.
the light in the darkness.
the light i can never enjoy.
the light i will never be.
oh how long it’s been.
lost, trembling in the darkness.
was the light ever real ?
i don’t understand.
there is no light.
not for me.
it’s left me.
it’s left me like…
like everyone else.

Rat Rat Poem
the lonely girl
who sits in the corner
at the back of the class
waiting and waiting
for someone to notice
for someone to care
the lonely girl
with her beautiful hair
with her beautiful eyes
with her beautiful stare.
the lonely girl
who’s tears scream
who can only dream
that someone would can

Rat Rat Poem
I move through the mornings made of glass.
each step a tremble, each breath a struggle.
the world,
too loud.
the ground is close, the sky unsure.
nothing is steady, nothing is pure.
still, I stagger.
still, I tremble
still, I haven’t managed to hold it all together.
so ill continue,
the world getting,
louder
and louder
and louder.

Rat Rat Poem
my thoughts race fast like a train on the tracks.
dangerous and fast.
they fly by faster and faster.
the tracks chatter and chatter.
the thoughts speed.
the darkened tunnel is approaching.
is this the end…?
the thoughts are screeching to be heard.
louder and louder they call.
sparks fly from the rails
the train comes to a halt.
the thoughts stop.
nothing but silence.
the thoughts will never be heard.
never.

Rat Rat Poem
the sound of my voice
loos’d in the wind
a light,
reaching of arms.
the shine and the shade,
the delight alone.
the rush of streets,
the fields and hill-sides.
the feeling,
the song,
meeting the sun.
have you practis’d so long
to learn how to read ?
have you felt so proud
to get at the meaning of
poems?
this day and night,
the good if the earth and sun.
you shall look through the eyes of
the dead.
you shall not look through
my eyes.
you shall listen to yourself.
i heard the talkers talking,
only of the beginning and the end.
i do not talk of the beginning or
the end.
you will never be
perfect.

Rat Rat Poem
the shining glimmer in the eyes of hopeful children.
their dreams not yet shattered.
their soft skin, warm against the pillows of which they dream upon.
the happiness that radiates off of their small bodies.
the loudest of their laughter.
the brightest of their smiles.
still happy,
still shining.

Rat Rat Poem
Did we make it?
Did the darkness of those echoing hallways turn to light?
The pounding of my screeching heart.
The trembling of limbs chattering against the floor.
Did it all get better?
Slamming of doors,
Shouts causing your ears to shatter.
The red roses matching the colour displayed amongst their cheeks.
Their once happy marriage now filled with anger and resentment.
Their next choices unclear.
When will it get better?
Please tell me it gets better…
Please.

Rat Rat Poem
your brunette hair swaying in the autumn breeze.
your eyes stare into the souls of leaves.
your fingers lace through mine.
the sun bouncing off your dark eyes.
you’ll always be perfect in my mind.
the way your lips smile at me.
the way your hips lean into me.
i’ll never forget the way you talk, the way you walk.
why must you leave.
please come back.
please.
