-A Nice Way Of Saying-

"It's too tight, the dress must have shrunk."
Is just a nice way of saying
"You've gained weight."

"My mom said no."
Is just a nice way of saying
"I'm too lazy to go."

"I'm still in love with someone else."
Is just a nice way of saying
"I'm not in love with you."

You

I'm so tired
Of this in and out;
This round about world
That you have me living in.
You make my temples pound
And my heart race
And my palms sweat.
All I can think about,
Is how sweet it would be
To kiss your lips,
To touch your skin,
To say your name.
But I can't shake the feeling
That you're no different
From all the rest.

NaPoWriMo 2010 Day 30

-The Final Poem (Of The Month)-

I could hardly bare
To sit down
And write this poem.
So I dillied
And I dallied
And I avoided my laptop.
I helped with surprises
And did something artistic
And even attended a sporting event.
But in the end
I realized
I still had to sit down
To write my final poem.

NaPoWriMo 2010 Day 29

-Almost Gone-

The month has almost
Gone
And yet I'm unfulfilled.

Today is almost
Gone
And I'm creatively exhausted.

This school years almost
Gone
And I'm so ready for summer.

High school is almost
Gone
And I'm frightened for the future.

Childhood is almost
Gone
And I feel like it went to fast.

NaPoWriMo 2010 Day 28

-Or-

Everyone tells me

That I should write about

Giving blood.

Again.

But what about

The rain?

Or

About painting?

How about

My yellow ray of light?

Or

Driving?

I'd like to write about

Crying and music.

Or

About how I felt

When I shook hands with someone new.

Or what about

How the month is almost gone?

Or

The star I'll one day become?

I can't write about

The play I plan to write.

Or

The dreams I have at night.

So maybe I'll take their advice.

And write about being queasy.

And getting better.

And saving a life.

NaPoWriMo 2010 Day 27

-Just One Of Those Days-

It's just one of those days
When a weekend is suddenly
Shot wide open.
When your friends aren't
Nearly as sympathetic
As you'd thought.
When you want the rain to fall
And it just stops.
When you think everything
Is destined to go wrong all day
Then it's just surprisingly good.

NaPoWriMo 2010 Day 26

-Jazz Music, Love Stories and New Shampoo-

The slow croon
On a rainy
Monday
Afternoon.
With a handmade quilt
Pulled tight around me.
Both providing shelter
From unwanted emotion.

Serendipitous meetings
On subway cars.
Random
Happenstance.
Star crossed lovers bring
Hope and tears,
Together in one,
For relief.

A new scent
On ever strand.
Refreshing
Sensations.
As it cleanses
My wild mess of hair,
It revitalises
My weary soul.
