Natalee Wright Poem
Sitting in the corner of a crowded room,
thinking back to that saddening day,
one year went much too soon,
a year since I let her fall away.
So much around me has changed,
yet my mind seems to have not,
a world of imprisonment so strange,
but even this couldn't change my thought.
a year of nothing but sorrow,
days of mourningful events,
today she is all I can swallow,
nothing else shall make a dent.
A tear shall be shed for my Kiyah,
a child whom I let get away,
long past when I expire,
should she have been enjoying the day.

Natalee Wright Poem
They start you out with sips
and then they move to quarter cups
starting when you're little
but then it's never enough
pepsi as a drug.
All through your childhood
inching to the top of the cup
and when it finally gets there
you've switched; a glass to now fill up.
pepsi as a drug.
And from that glass a can;
a can of your very own
but still you eye that 20 ounce
to have the cap as your very own.
pepsi as a drug.
Soon a dependency forms
you need it to stay awake
you're chugging two liters three times a day
to end your parent's mistake.
pepsi as a drug.
You end up old and diabetic
disfunctional kidneys and liver
but still you love your pepsi
soon your body wont handle all that you deliver.
pepsi as a drug.

Natalee Wright Poem
In a flash he is gone,
No warnings, no signs,
Memories flood my brain,
How he walked, his personality,
Remorse for the times I ignored him,
Yelled at him, scorned him, pushed him away.
Years remembered in seconds,
His playfulness, his unique cry,
It is hard to replace the love of family,
Always being there, always comforting, always truthful,
I just think of the ones that he left behind,
Who will they talk to, who will they play with,
When someone you love is taken,
No goodbyes, no taking it back, no smiles.
Tears filled my eyes as he was buried in the ground.
He is gone, no more happiness, no more comfort, just emptiness.

Natalee Wright Poem
She writes with pain,
tears in her words,
and a salty whimper in her sigh.
She walks without feeling,
hiding her fears,
sheltering her sadness.
She only cries alone,
for no one to hear,
so no one can see.
She is true and real,
strong and fair,
prepared to accept her failure;
prepared to accept her demise.

Natalee Wright Poem
Cumbersome,
Shut off from the world around you,
Trying to escape the deceit.
Apathetic,
Knowing that you can’t hide from it,
Accepting the pain as your own.
Ambivalent,
Should I create or destroy,
Trapped in an endless sea of hypocrisy.
Imprisoned,
Looking at the walls around you,
Trying to pry the cement from your cell bars.
Exhaustion,
Too broken to get yourself back up,
And too jaded to care.

Natalee Wright Poem
It isn’t the things that you think you are,
That make you upset with yourself,
It is the things that others see,
That challenge your conscious self.
I can’t forget on a day like this,
The words that flowed so easily,
White oleander as charged,
Two words that dug right into me.
How easily you judge me,
With your self righteous convictions,
But what you see in me is you,
And all of your devious intentions.
A product of my environment,
Brought up by a poisonous flower,
What am I to be if you are all I see,
As each day passes with the hours.

Natalee Wright Poem
If love were a stream,
It would flow from my veins into your mind.
It would infiltrate your soul and flourish in your heart,
as it does mine.
If love were a flower,
It would not dwindle in the cold,
It would thrive on the every ray the sun offered it throughout eternity.
If love were a song,
It would be sung only by me for your ears to percieve.
It would last longer than any horn could play.
If love were an ocean,
Its waves would only bring tingles of excitement
and it's sounds comfort.
It would never hesitate to wrap its fingers around the sandy shore.
If love were a clock,
Its hands would stop on the very second that it began its journey.
It would erase all that is future and remain in the presence of itself.
If love were a painting,
Its colors would imprison your heart and send it to mine in a glance. It would
speak to your soul as mine would.
If love were a blanket,
It would cover every inch of your body until you felt no cold inside and out.
It would decorate your being and your personality, as would I.
If love was able to see,
It would glimpse upon the two of us together.
It would let us only see eachother and all the beauty that surrounds us.
If love lasted forever,
It wouldn't seem long enough.
It would not measure up to the thousands of eternities that lay before us in the
time ahead.

Natalee Wright Poem
The room lightens as she walks in
all the movement around her stops
a lapse in time creates a transclucent glow
she is what they all want to be.
Breathless are they as they take in her beauty
her innocence draws them to the ground.
a child of six with everything in front of her
so many journeys to take and things to discover.
In awe and envy of her youth
they yield to her every movement
allowing her to reign over the entire room
she wonders what is so captivating about her.
Little does she know that her innocence is overwhelming
to those that lost it so long ago.
Soon enough she'll know the feeling
when she experiences how it feels to grow old.

Natalee Wright Poem
Father I forgive you,
for all the blame I've placed on your head.
All those times I felt abandoned,
shaped this life that I have led.
It took twenty two years,
to include me in your game.
Finally realizing a common ground,
brought our relationship its name.
Of all the things I remember,
the last meeting will always stay.
The lesson we shared that night,
will never fade away.
And so I thank you, daddy,
for helping me find myself.
Though the times we shared were scarce,
In you I finally found wealth.

Natalee Wright Poem
Hold me back, she said
realizing that she'd be nothing
he always kept her safe.
In a gilded cage she flailed about,
unharmed and unscathed.
Leave me be, he shouted
nevermind what she wanted,
she never left time for herself.
His freedom caused him pain,
confused and alone.
Let me go, they decided
they'd had enough of one another
and the tortures they made up for themself.
