My First Poetry Book!

My first poetry book! ❤

Launching soon...

I'm not a rug

or a carpet

you can walk into

Whenever you please

I'm a person

and I can be hurt

My heart, though

I trained

it to be strong,

can be broken

like a glass,

can be torn

like a paper

I can only take

what my cup

can contain

I will speak

I will scream

I won't be

silenced as though

your storm

can render me mute

But most importantly

I know where to exit

without second thoughts

I will leave

when I had enough

And I had enough

-katie, 20:00

But where can I hide

when my tormentor resides

inside my mind?

-katie, 02:30

If you look back far enough, you can see…

tears stained on stars

hearts contained in penny jars

words queued on my tongue

trying to roll themselves out

Also there are blisters on the moon

a laceration on its side

scribbles of who we are

decorating the path where I stride

Helpless yet still devoted

to the corpse that you are

Mindless of the pouring

of the gust whispering

"He is gone."

It's time to move forward

but my eyes keep looking backward

to where we have talked

our last few sentences

such a painful farewell

I am trying to get by

If you looked back far enough,

you would have seen

me crawled

picked my pieces scattered

all over the floor

But you stared far ahead

Cold, uncaring heart

turning into a memory,

a scar taking niche

into the skin

that I wear

-katie, 04:00

How is it possible darling, for someone with a heart to be so heartless?

Katie, 20:00

She isn't your answered prayer.

She nags.

She isn't your answered prayer.

She argues.

She questions your intention.

She isn't your answered prayer.

She bleeds.

She crumbles.

She isn't perfect.

She isn't your answered prayer.

Sometimes she crawls back to her hide.

She isn't your answered prayer.

She lets negative thoughts swarm inside her head.

She drains the energy out of you.

She isn't your answered prayer.

She doubts.

She curses.

She remembers her traumas.

She isn't your answered prayer.

She drives you to the wall.

She isn't your answered prayer.

She shatters the illusion of a perfect relationship.

She isn't the ideal girl.

She isn't your answered prayer.

But she chose you over others who pursued her.

She tries to silence her demons when you're near.

She compromises.

She isn't your answered prayer.

But you should love her just the same.

-answered prayer,
