Frozen love
I'm losing everything you loved about me
I'm losing everything you love about me
My confidence is paralyzed, frozen in time where you last saw it, in your rose colored lenses.
My ambition seems to be a magician addicted to making itself disappear, I remember how much you loved the well-roundess of my mind, the mind that has now built a pyramid out of self doubt and negativity.
I hope one day to be beautiful again. It seems that acne has established its home on my skin, the skin too tight around my lungs I can barely breathe so I don't, I let everything inside me rot and decay because beauty is subjective right?
I'm losing everything you loved about me, so if I see your feet walking toward the exit sign one day, I can only nod in agreement, but please, just stay for the next season, all the reasons you fell in love with me might just need a little sun to thaw them out.

The salt waterfalls Creating my own ocean for fools to sail on
By Colleen Waltersabout 15 hours ago in Poets
Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
