Avery Ken Poem
Once upon a time
There was a little paper doll
She lived in a paper house
Made of paper walls
She had a paper mom
She had a paper dad
And a little paper basset hound
All wrinkled up and sad
This little paper doll
Went to a paper school
Full of paper students
Who thought that they were cool
They made fun of the paper doll
For her paper clothes
For the way she styled her paper hair
And for her too-small paper nose
Once upon a time
She decided to end it all
So she grabbed a paper rope
And walked down the hall
She got to her paper closet
And pushed the clothes aside
She grabbed a little paper pen
And wrote a note goodbye
She was gone for good
Before she even spoke
She was a little paper doll
And all the strings inside her broke

always reaching for
each other; never getting
to touch your stretched hand

Avery Ken Poem
A lot can happen in a minute.
A sudden epiphany,
A revelation.
Opening doors,
A realization.
Fresh starts,
Beating hearts.
Good luck,
Tearing apart.
A lot can happen in a minute.

Suicide Hotline

Yes?
Just breathe.
In
Out
In
Out
Talk when you
Are ready
Put down the pills
Please
Throw away
The blade
Cut the rope
Into tiny pieces
If it makes you not afraid
Silence
Hello?
Beep
Beep
Beep
Call Ended.

Avery Ken Poem
Blue
The color of the sky
When I met him
The color of the water
When he asked me to be his
The color of the snow
When he first kissed me
The color of his shirt
When we had our first fight
The color of my eyes
When I look in the broken mirror
The color in the air
When I find him
The color of his lips
When I know it's real
It's not my favorite color anymore

Avery Ken Poem
It's very beautiful over there
My own life I cannot bear
I cannot sleep, don't let me fall
You're right, it's time, I love you all
I am going away tonight
This crushing weight I cannot fight
My own sorrow was my own downfall
Somehow, you said them all

If you are the moon,
I rise and fall to your will,
So I am the tide

Avery Ken Poem
I was so happy
A free spirit
A flower child.
Then, you took me captive
Called me as your own
And forced me to drink from the well of your people.
You shoved the seeds down my throat
And I had no choice but to swallow.
I got addicted
To this lonely place
And now, can never return.
I miss my family.
My friends.
My old life.
But I cannot leave this place
For I am bound by the bond
That I did not agree to.
You never want them to know
The hunger of Persephone
And how I starve for something
Other than pomegranates

I want to quit life
Search school, search jobs, search friendships
Error: Life not found

Avery Ken Poem
Quietly spilling
Out of my hand
My lover’s ashes
Mix with the sand
Crying, weeping, sobbing so
I try not to let him go
My eyes are dry
My sobs are bare
But I know
It isn't fair
Died too young
Gone too fast
Our love is suddenly
In the past
