Day 101-These Beautiful Messes

Messed up pages
Full of bad grammar
Scratched out words
And randomly inserted
Missing letters
Read between the lines
What a beautiful mess

Paint on the carpet
On my skin
In my hair
Ugly smudges everywhere
Look at the canvas
What a beautiful mess

Equipment sitting around
Cameras and empty film canisters
Litter the ground
Scary eyes on a negative roll
Bring it out of the dark
What a beautiful mess

Messy hair
Awkward stance
Tiny hole in my pants
Sometimes mix up my sentences
Look at me
What a beautiful mess

Day 100-Did You Celebrate Something Today?

Milestones
They happen all the time
But they are still a big thing
Not cliche
Nor overdone

Milestones
Usually pertain to numbers
The larger the better

Milestones
Some people make up their own
It doesn't hurt
Make you feel better
Accomplished

Milestones
Made for
Everyone

Day 99-I Love The Smell Of Fresh Ink

A bit of random chatter
I hear the bell on the door ring
Music plays in the back ground
I find it is my favorite artist that sings
I'm called in to the room
Asked to take a seat
I sit and tap my fingers
And my nervous feet
I get in to the zone
The happy one I know
I hear a buzz
It is just a test
The artist ask me if I'm ready
What's next is a prick
I kind of burns
But not just enough to make tears churn
My eyes drift south
I want to see what's going down
I am kind of entranced
The pain
I can handle this
Some time floats by
And I take a deep sigh
And look at the guy
The deed is done
I must say
Getting my first tattoo
Was great fun

Day 98-Takes The Trail Marked Off The Map

The grass lining the path
Is soft and green
No stickers
So I can walk with
Bare feet

The trees shading the path
Are tall and great
Covering me with wisdom
Only growing more beautiful
With age

The flowers along the path
Are lovely
Simple in make
Sweet in smell
The perfect natural perfume
To be held

The dirt that makes the path
Is damp
But not rocky
Close to being sand
The perfect example of
Land

The girl that walks the path
Knows what was left behind
Knows not what is to come
She can only claim to be
Human

Day 97-I Know Who Made Me

Hair
Nails
Legs
Arms
Skin
Eyes
Hands
Feet
Nose
Lips
Toes
Fingers
Stomach
Basic parts
Gathered
And tweaked
Put together
With unique attention
Designed
Especially for
Me
By someone
The The One
The Only
He

Day 96-Things My Grandmother Taught Me

The past years
The past five
To be exact
Have come and gone
At a steady pace
There has been so much pain
So much sorrow
So much anger
And some happiness too
But this world
Living here the past five years
Have not been quite the same
Without the physical living
You
Changed my life
Taught me lessons
Only grandmothers can teach
Cut short was the time
But I kept it strong
Something I learned from you
Like I also learned
To keep on living
To keep on moving on
To keep on singing
To keep on marching
With this drum of mine
Because we will speak again
In God's good time

Day 95-Quick, Before It Is Too Late

Some spend half
Of a lifetime
Learning
Sitting
Listening
Copying down
What others feel they
"Need to know"
Only to regret
What they did
Not get to do
All the things
That they wanted
Became submerged
In "obligation"
Sadly to never
Realize
That
Until it becomes
Just that
Just another
Regret

Day 94-If I Try I Think I Could Just Touch A Star

I made the journey
To the top of the mountain
Stood there at the peak
Filled with too many things
To be able to even speak
That was a difficult task
The climb to the summit
Where I beheld it all
This moment
Made me feel
Smaller than it all
Taller than all
That was left
At the bottom

Day 93-May I Have This Dance?

The beat
Slow and steady
Calms
Your busy feet
So you can
Grab a hand
Of someone
Hopefully you can
Stand
Holding close
A person
You care for
Your steps
Not squishing any toes
Now
The silence vs speak
Debate whatever
Just take this
Slow dance
In stride
For it won't
Last forever

Day 92-I'm Sorry Teacher But Love Ate My Homework,I Swear

Love can't
Pay the bills
Love can't
Make you dinner
Love can't
Tie your shoes
Love can't
Write the news
Love can't
Change your oil
Love can't
Make your food spoil
Love can't
Take out the garbage
Love can't
Bring in the fall harvest
Love can't
Do a lot of things

In the literal sense

Love can
Accomplish anything
Love can
If you let it do so

Day 91-I Don't Mind, Don't Mind me

I don't mind
Waking up

I don't mind
Doing chores
Working hard
Getting stuff done

I don't mind
The way people treat me
Even if its not the best
Because I feel
How I end up treating them
Is the true test

I don't mind
Telling my secrets

I don't mind
Keeping yours

I don't mind
Holding open
Or
Closing
The left open door

I don't mind
Any more
Than I did
Yesterday
And
The day before

Day 90-This Was Me Yesterday And The Day Before That

I like a little surprise
A little jolt
To my system
It helps me to see things
A bit less
Like a television rerun
Some kind of over written
Cliche
The universe is
"Be kind rewind"
With my life
Everyday
I stroll and wait
For something
To mix things up
Some day

Day 89-A Reverse Wonderland And This Time Alice Wants To Go Back

You'll often find
I stay inside my mind
Sitting in a seemingly
Empty space
You'll see me staring
In to it
As if my mind has been
Erased
People try to bring me
Back to the surface
How dare they
What did I do to deserve
This
Why would anyone
Wish to
At this time
Bring me out of
The safety of my head
Where things free flow
And where I'll always
Know this
Is just a dream
As silly as it all seems
I find it a nice vacation
From this world
Outside of me

Day 88-And Just Like That She Was Gone

She changed her name
Then changed her hair
Left a note
Told you she was going
Somewhere
She said she would be back
She requested
You not to follow
Her foot steps
Because they might
Not match your own
She changed your life
Hoping you would
Change your life
On your own

Day 87-I Came Across A Fork Only Discovered By Dreamers

The trail is
Marked on the map
With quartz clear
Directions
Standing at an intersection
One feels the need
To choose
Or to flee
The road less traveled
Makes the pavement more
Complete
Just choose the path
That one you imagine
And that my friend
Is were you should
Turn your feet

Day 86-I'm Going To Give Myself A Hug Real Quick

I love myself
I really do
When I am sitting
At home
Alone in my room

There I am invincible
The perfect charmer of a
Girl
I wish I could just show this

To the world

I love myself
Outwardly awkward
And sure

Of myself

Thank you
For shining a light
On all of my
"Problems"

I love myself
Because I've
Embraced them

Day 85-This Is Less Than An A, B Conversation

Oh,you want to talk to me?
Through a text I see...

Give it a try
Hope you intend to
Conversate

You ask me what I'm doing
I will tell you

Please don't one word
Reply me

With full thoughts please
Because

You

Initiated

This conversation with me

Day 84-You Better Tell Me While I'm Standing Here

If you think I'm stunning
If you think I'm lovely
If you think I'm cunning

If you call me pretty
If you call me cute

If you like my smile

If you love my eyes

If you have every part of me
Memorized

If you are mesmerized

Just look me in the eye
Tell me what you feel inside

You don't see me running

Day 83-I Want You To See It To

I see it behind my eyes
Right inside my mind
Just as the lyrics float by

I want to bring it to life
All of these images I am seeing
Inside

The story is there
I want to interpret
Every single thing

I want it to play
On the screen
Because I feel
These pictures

Need to be seen

Day 82-In And Out Of The Box

This box is a container
Shipped from place to place
This box is a vessel
Which must be handle with grace
Filled with cherished things
That just make one person's heart sing
This box is abused
Thrown and kicked about
Torn open on Christmas
And just tossed out
This box is a memory
A fortress
A castle
A great hiding place
And one of my
Favorite childhood play things

Day 81-In Today's News

Good news in the morning
Bad news at night
These mixed signals
Are what give me a fright
A baby was born
Five people now dead
I feel as if they are messing
With my head
I try to filter out
The nonsense
The positive
I have to help myself out
For good is good
For bad is bad
One can only believe
Half of what's said
Because chances are
The stories
Are only half read

Day 80-Rise And Shine

I like to be my own alarm
My own wake up call
Maybe I like to sleep through
Some things
Are worth waking up for
Like a sunrise
If I am up that early
You'll see a sleepy look
In my eyes
Something gooky will arise
If I wake on my own
I might actually seem a little bit happy
Although my hair will probably look nappy
I don't doubt my words will make
Nonsense
Probably speaking in a made up tense
Just give me some time
I'm nearly grown
I think am pretty capable
Of waking up on my own

Day 79-Out Of Order Please Come Back Later

I just don't know
I'm scratching my head
Racking my brain
This makes me feel
As if I have gone insane
In the bad way
Not the good
The wires just arent connecting
Under this hood
For today
The signals are crossed
I am just not winning
But I yet to have lost
I'll just admit that I'm human
Cut the cost
For today on this paper
For words
I'm at a loss

After some rest
And some cereal in a bowl
My brain bomb is ticking
Ready to
Blow your mind

Day 78-World's Worst Juliette

I am
World's Worst Juliette
I don't fall in love so quick
It takes more than a kiss
And a few sweet words
To make me feel like that
This girl can't fall for a guy
At the drop of a hat
I won't agree to run away
And get married the very next day
I would wait
To see if things would go the right way
I deliver my own messages
To make sure none
Of my words get lost
I will not give up
Even if the worst were true
I would be still until I knew
You will never find a dagger
Through my emotionally
Distraught heart
I am
World's Worst Juliette
Because of love
I won't let my self die
Wether you're here
Or gone
I am
World's Worst Juliette
Because for love
I choose to live

Day 77-You Can Turn Around Now

You can
Turn a knob
Twist a cap
Turn a corner
Twist your hips
Turn a table
Contort a smile
Spin a fable
Walk a mile
Change the subject

Or

You can
Turn around

Day 76-Eating And Reading And Relaxing

Peanut butter on my sandwich
Pink lemonade in my cup
In which a pink neon bendy straw
I have stuck
My hair behind my ears
Settled out on the porch
Just a simple day
I don't have to work
No commands
No stress
No confusion
Sitting in the "indian style"
With a book on my lap
On this day
I plan
To just sit here like this
And read for a while

Day 75-Shine

Diamond in the sky
You make my heart sigh
With a deep releasing breath
I make the wishes in my head
Like a lonely dream
For only your eyes to see
Diamond in the sky
Can you hear my soul cry?
Like a deafening scream
In real silence
I hope you heard
This one little dream
For lack of better words
Diamond in the sky
I just want to see you
Shine

Day 74-The Midnight Train Took Her On A Journey

The midnight train
Took her somewhere
Strange
In to the unknown
She got the courage
To go
Sitting in the seat
With her lucky shoes on
She feels like she's living
Her favorite song
