What They Never Told Me

They taught me lessons, basic stuff
Don’t kill, don't steal, always tell the truth
Maybe diving deeper just seemed too much
Because in this life no one knows what to do 

No one ever told me how to stand by a casket to small to hold an adult
Or how a broken heart hurts more than a broken foot ever could
How sometimes what i do doesn't matter or change results
No matter how much i hoped and prayed it would

They never told me the words to heal a broken soul 
Never  told me the remedy to a tortured mind 
To accept things outside of my control
Or the right words and actions to save a life

So many things can’t be taught 
Honestly, it's a hell of a lot more than i thought

She

I know you know what happened the year we graduated. Just like everything else, it trickled down the grape vine. We were seniors when SHE said she wanted a blue dress for prom. SHE wanted to teach disabled children, an aspiration that came from her love for a baby cousin who had cerebral palsy. SHE and I had art class together our seats adjacent to each other. Her poorly done imitation of a Frida Khalo masterpiece was praised for the effort behind it. That morning I was on my way to school, I had seen a picture of her on facebook from the night before. SHE had attended fright fest, and looked like she had an incredible time. I was on the bus during my morning commute when I saw her on again off again boyfriend. He and I were practically strangers, but I could see he was having a rough day. He had bags under his eyes, ‘probably one of those off times’, I thought. During my first period class SHE hadn't come in yet, probably getting breakfast. My principal called a senior meeting on the loud speakers, the girl next to me rolled her eyes while applying a third layer of lip gloss and mentioned something about senior dues. I sighed as I stood up, as if the world were on my shoulders. I made my way to the auditorium, losing my cohort on the way down. I slouched in the back of the auditorium with my baggy hoodie pulled up to hide my face,I felt myself nodding off. I was always sleepy, and tired of something. “Alyssa committed suicide over the weekend.”  I felt a shock come over me, my tears fell as sobs racked my body and the loudest silence overtook my mind. SHE had committed suicide. SHE who had wanted a blue dress, SHE who had gone to fright fest the night before in a green hoodie and posted a smiling photo on facebook.SHE was graduating in less than 7 months and had only lived sixteen years. SHE had easily become a WAS. SHE was the wails that bounced on the walls of the pink girl's bathroom months after it happened, SHE was the boy screaming in the hallway during my math class for her to come back. Eventually SHE was just an auditorium in silence while her parents walked across the stage for her, and the graduating class drowned in their tears. SHE was just a folded cap and gown and a middle school photo in a high school yearbook.

Home

Home was not what they said it'd be
It wasn't any of the multiple homes I lived in, it was a human being
My home came in the frame of a short tempered child
One who'd suck  his teeth,roll his eyes yet I knew for me he'd run a thousand miles
My home was judgmental and broken
But he had my back through thick and thin
My home was a rebellious teen with an attitude problem
Incorrigible,disrespectful is what the teachers called him
He made me laugh until my stomach hurt
He was always the first to apologize after painful words
My brother would walk through fire
He is my knight in shining armour
My home has held pieces of me without judging
My home is stronger at heart, stronger than I'll ever be
He has carried me
He slayed any dragon that ever threatened me
My home is a foul mouth with a heart that cares blindly
He is a strong man with an unforgiving line for a mouth that curves when he sees me
My home is a text message randomly asking how I'm doing 
He is the foolish laugh and stupid looking grin
My home sheltered me time and time again
He has held my heart without flinching
My home had a band aid for every skinned knee
He had an ice pack for my first real injury
My brother was my home and safe haven

Games

she loved him that much was true 
but to him it was a game,he knew what to say and do
he followed the script and said everything right 
until she actually believed hes stay by her side
she brushed off everything anyone said 
a player, a liar, do you really want to get mixed that???
she defended him even though his actions contradicted his words
all she saw was the light in his eyes and a cheeky smirk
when the house of cards that was their relationship tumbled down
she clenched her jaw and her stood her ground 
he begged and pleaded saying he was different 
yet how could be if he treated her like she was insignificant 
treated her like he was disinterested 
treated her like she was she was too serious and he wasn't with it

she loved him that much was true
he couldn't appreciate her so she did what she had to do

A Cautionary Tale

It says be careful, extra careful, Just imagine the problems if you weren’t
Keep your head down
Watch your words
The little voice in my head that lives in paranoia is protective of me
It holds a sign that says “Extremely Fragile, Handle with care”
But then HE came.
And whenever i felt anxiety digging its claws into my esophagus he was there with reassuring words
HE asked everyday if i was okay
With him i didn't have to overthink words
He would reassure the paranoid voice that was so much like an overbearing mother
HE would envelop it until HE was all it could think it about
But then HE was gone.
And now i panic in hallways as i try to avoid him
And my voice cracks as my best friend tells me to calm down over the phone
My lips tremble while i text him saying he never meant a thing to me
My thoughts race and my heart gets lost in the depths of my stomach
The voice sounds betrayed and uneasy as it makes my feet move quicker when i catch a glimpse of the back of his head
It says he was never there to protect me and builds walls while swearing to never let anyone in
It claims that he is fine,okay, alright
Then panics at the thought of his laugh and his lips on mine
It questions everything.
How could he be fine when he’d held my anxiety so dear, his voice calming all of its fears
How can he walk by refusing to make eye contact
Did he forget about the stolen kisses
Or was i really just a pawn?
Could it really have been so trivial to him?
Be careful, extra careful is what the voice says, we know the problems it'll bring if you're not.

Yearning For Something Tangible

I want someone to trace the angles of my body without judging 
Touch very scar like I’m precious 
Deal with my temper without budging
I want someone to look into my eyes and see my soul 
I want them to look at my wounds and still adore me
I want them to know that I’m someone worth loving 
I want them to lust my body and love my mind
Love me without boundaries 
Love me without thinking 
Love me tenderly 
Caress my heart with sweet words
Love me although I’m far from pure
Hold me dear to their heart
Just hold me to convince me you’ll never leave

Nothing

i was a nothing 
i believed everything i heard
no matter how cryptic his words
he perfected it though
ill give him that
the sweet talk, the act
ill give him credit for that
i let him under my skin
i pushed to continue again and again
although i knew it was a lost cause 
i was a nobody, a person to be replaced and tossed
i learned my lesson though 
once was enough
not again, i'm cool with being just friends

Dead Dark

He wore a black shirt to blend into the night
 With black jeans and converse that fit just right
His hoodie pulled up to conceal his face 
From a world that had given and snatched his place 
He was dark and hidden in the shadows
Afraid of what it meant to become unraveled 
He was tired of the pain, and everything that had been said and done 
In a world of opposing powers he chose to be gone
So the day be chose to leave everything behind 
No one would cry for his unlived life
