A Few Poems

"Perfect"
This one was perfect
She was beautiful
She had no damages
Not one

Then her perfect
Life came undone
Now she gets
To have
Two Christmases

Sounds fun,
Right?
So perfect,
So not!

Her parents
Had the perfect
Relationship
And so did her and
Her brother
Not anymore

Her brother and her
Can't let
Themselves
Get caught talking
About it because
If they did
It would
screw up their
"Perfect"
Lives

"No One"

No one knows
And
No one cares
If they knew
Maybe they'd
Care

No one thinks
To ask them
"Are you all right?"
Because that wouldn't
Be right
In our society.


"Not My Life"

My parents
Had the perfect
Relationship.
Not anymore.

My brother and I
Had the most awesome
Relationship.
Not anymore.

I used to think
My life was
Awesome
And I still do
But lately
It's been
A little less
Awesome
Than a few
Weeks ago.

"I Pretended"

I fear.
Yes, I really do
I fear the thing
That my parents
Said would never,
Ever happen.
Because
It is happening.

I am afraid.
Because
I know why
Because
I wish that
I didn't.
My dad
Messed up.
And yet,
I don't care if
Anyone, anyone at all
I don't care if they know.
When it got close to
The end,
I knew what
Was happening,
What was coming.
I KNEW!
And I didn't do a thing.
I pretended
To be something
That I am so,
So not.
I pretended
That all my life,
I'd acted like it.
I pretended
That I was
A coward
That didn't care
What
Would happen.
I pretended
That I
Didn't
Know.
I pretended
To be and to feel,
Or that I didn't feel,
Like I hadn't noticed anything.
I pretended
To be a lot of things,
But one of them
Wasn't
Intelligent.
