Is it still ignoring people if you don’t want to talk to them?

[just-a-shitty-poet-blog]

You are the reason I write these little love poems.

Each and every word is meant

Especially when I say how much

I love you.

I love you

And I don’t think you really know

How much you mean to me.

When you simply just hold my hand

My heart turns into a butterfly

Fluttering for the first time.

I don’t know how,

But with each passing moment

I fall deeper in love with you.

Even if it’s cliche

You have the key to my heart

And I love you more than anything and everyone I’ve ever loved.

I always miss you but I can still feel you.

Your warm embrace.

Being held in your strong arms.

Your tender lips on mine.

Trying to pull each other closer to our bodies even though it’s not possible.

Looking into your starry night eyes

I see you truly.

Our fingers intertwined like we’re never going to be apart.

Living each day like it’s our last.

Every moment we’re together

We hand each other metaphorical roses.

And every second we’re apart

Is an eternity

You don’t have a clue how much

I love you.

I promise to do anything

In my power

To make you happy.

I really hope you’re the one

Because I’ve never felt this

For anyone else

But you.

I’m absolutely terrified

of you leaving me

Like everyone else has.

I know you’re not them

But I’m still me.

And I never want to lose you.

You’re my heart

And soul.

If this thing lasts

You can bet

That I intend

We live out our lives

Together

Forever

Ricky Ray

As I read your book

I have waited so long

To receive,

I look at it in awe

That you could create something

So wonderful

And share it with the world.

You are both mom and mine’s favorite

And I am so damn proud

Of my older bro.

You’re book is beautiful

And this is the first glance

I’ve ever had

Into your real soul.

Because,

We may be siblings

But we don’t know each other

Like we should.

And I hate that.

The fact that we’ve never lived together

Like a normal family.

We Never spend birthdays

And Christmases

Nor any other holiday

Together.

We’ve never wrestled like

Other brothers.

And you’ve never been

To any of the performances

I’ve done

In band, chorus, or theatre.

I hate that you never come see us

Here in Florida

Because you know

Mom and I are too poor

To go to New York

To see you

And your wonderful family.

You may be 24 years older than me,

But I am still your

Brother

Who wants to see you again

before I graduate high school

And so does our loving mom

Before she dies.

I am speaking for

Mom

When I say this:

We fucking miss you.

I look up to you

Even though

We are so far apart

In a multitude of ways.

And one day,

I hope to be known

For my work

Like you are.

Kiss me once, shame on you. Kiss me twice, wtf is wrong with you.

Mental health

Is something that

Needs constant care

Since it is

So important

For your wellbeing.

Not every day is easy

And everyone’s mind is different

But all needs self love

Life is hard

And it can suck.

But no matter

The situation

It gets better.

Maybe not today

Or tomorrow

Or soon

But eventually

It will.

Strange lands

Remembering those strange lands

Brings me a sort of feeling.

One that makes your soul yearn and ache

To be back on those

Other planets

Of reality.

There,

I fell upward

Into the clouds

While strolling the tree tops

Discovering real reality.

Never had been there before,

I didn’t feel like a stranger

In a strange land,

But a sense of calm.

That unknown home

Was meant to be mine.

Funerals.

They are not for the dead

But for the living.

[just-a-shitty-poet-blog]

The hospital

slowly dying.

silent crying.

doctors lying.

softly sighing.

School.

my head is throbbing

while i’m

mentally sobbing.

Valentine’s Day

Love is sharing

Your ice cream

Midnight moon

glancing into the sky

at the midnight moon

where the brightest stars

glisten.

i can feel each of you

with me

at this specific moment

in time

[just-a-shitty-poet-blog]

Driftwood

hold my hand

as we drift

into oblivion

together

[just-a-shitty-poet-blog]

Warmth

warmth

such a pretty smile

that just lights up

the entire room.

Just looking into your eyes

i see endless stars

that shimmer

and glitter

and glow.

when you laugh

its like honey

made in heaven.

Such a pretty girl

with a warm smile

the galaxy in her eyes

and the golden laugh

that melts my heart.

you give me warmth.

Rape culture

Rape culture is real

And more than just rape.

It’s normalization,

And degradation,

And assault.

It’s walking down the street and being catcalled,

It’s locker room banter and rape jokes,

“Boys will be boys,”

And unsolicited dick pics from men who want nudes in return.

Being groped by your boss and not speaking up for fear of loosing your job and income.

and being flashed by strangers

Revenge porn and threats from exes,

Slut shaming and blaming victims for the terror they faced.

Not to mention,

Molestation of just children in churches.

The men who purposefully break or stealthily remove their condoms because “it doesn’t feel good”

Having your drink drugged at a bar unexpectedly, for you to be taken advantage of.

Getting told, “don’t get raped” and “don’t dress like a slut, don’t be a whore, stop being a tease”

So fuck your rape culture.

Because not only is it rape,

But so much more.
