Cold

Cold

Outside, the wind

Tearing the trees;

Dark comes into the room

Like a stranger

And we are embraced

By the endless loneliness

'Bout the grades, no failing

'Bout the grades, no failing

'Bout that graaaades

Yeah, it's pretty clear, I’m failing English

But I can shake it, shake it

Like I'm supposed to do

'Cause I got that S. A. T. that all the Asian ace

And all the straight A’s in all the major subjects

I see them working hard copying from others

We know that stuff ain't right

C'mon now, make it stop

If you got ethic, ethic, just don’t do that

'Cause every subject you can ace it

If you work hard and don’t stop

Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about your grades

She says, "Grades don’t define your future successfulness."

You know I won't be no more of competitive cheaters

So if that’s what we are into then go ahead and fail with me

Because you know

I'm all about the grades

'Bout the grades, no failing

I'm all about the grades

'Bout the grades, no failing

I'm all about the grades

No, I’m not kidding, I know you think I’m dumb

But I'm here to tell ya

Every subject I will ace it from the bottom to the top

Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about your grades

She says, "Grades don’t define your future successfulness."

You know I won't be no more of competitive cheaters

So if that’s what we are into then go ahead and fail with me

Because you know

Falling Stars -Rainer Maria Rilke

Falling Stars

 Do you remember still 

the falling stars

that like swift horses 

through the heavens raced

and suddenly leaped 

across the hurdles of our wishes 

do you recall? 

And we did make so many! 

For there were countless numbers of stars: 

each time we looked above 

we were astounded 

by the swiftness of their daring play,

while in our hearts 

we felt safe and secure

watching 

these brilliant bodies  disintegrate,

knowing somehow we had survived their fall.

― Rainer Maria Rilke

The Matchstick Man

Midnight Edit

"The Matchstick Man"

by @LizzieCacti

The Metaphors

A poem based on The Metaphor by Budge Wilson

The first metaphor I wrote

With excitement and a little fear for taking a peek of literature 

That

The absence of feeling echoed in the empty corridors 

The ostensibly impeccable interier 

But an undesirable perfection

In dedication to a place called home. 

The second metaphor I wrote

With respect but also fear

That

The indifferent presence 

Bitterly depicted 

The unapproachable love and care

of my one and only mother

The last metaphor I wrote

With sorrows and numbness of tears

That

The torned-apart regrets with 

The incomplete metaphors and

The gratitude and acknowledgement that has not yet shown

And the final farewell that never took place 

All hindered by the fear of judgements

This poem

In remembrance of

Ms. Hancock
