  To Capture a Dream

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  With fingers frantically typing I wrote you into existence. In my dreams you had resided, and I sought to break our distance. The words I conjured failed me, nothing but letters set on white. Every word I weaved you out of refused to come out right. I wished I had not woken, had remai...

  Commands of the Everyday

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Sit down, and just take a breath. Yes, I am telling you what to do. Don't act so surprised. People tell you what to do everyday. You don't even realize it anymore. Just surfing on the internet is a web of commands. "Buy this." "Click here." "Watch this." They ...

  Comfort is What You Give

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  You hold me tight keeping me warm keeping me calm. So gentle so soft a touch. Wrapped around me I pull you closer yet, never wanting you to leave. I can sit for hours like this just you and me. No judgment passed. No mocking of my tears. Just silence. Suppor...

  Arms That Hold

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  These arms they hold me, pull me close. Wrapped around so tight almost as though they hold me together. They do. I am finally safe, needed, even wanted. In these arms I wish to stay, never to move. Held lovingly so that I will not break. All is well. My heart safe, trapped between us ...

  Distorted Reality

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Distorted personality lies of my own hand. Copy and paste a smile unto this great facade. Imagination oh so dear aid me in my doing, make me seem lovable wanted by my peers. Internet as much a lie as my every breath. All those smiles one great show, backstage my pain does hide. To dwell...

  The Effect of You

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Without intent of waiting for an answer you ask me about my day. I hesitate to respond not knowing which lie to say. Should I answer as is common? A simple "I am fine." With those three words I hide it all, no truth within that line. Combine it with a small smile to mask this ...

  Getting Over You

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  I cannot look into your eyes when I say I am okay. Instead I must turn my head and look the other way. Numerous thoughts within my mind, but only a few I can bare to say. Though all seems well and casual little is alright with me. So much pain hiding inside far from where the eye can see....

  The Rolling Fog

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  A dense grey fog rolls in creeping from the winter lake. Smothering the colors or the day it coats all the eye can see clinging to every possible shape creating a surreal blurred world. Hazy smudged edges mere outlines of shapes the fog hidden outdoors waits. Is it bland this fog? How it m...

  Quiet Sound

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Sitting and waiting hours passing by. Just another lonely night where I refuse to cry. My head down, breathing real slow. Holding in pain not letting it show. Twisted and hurt, betrayed and alone to deal with the pain all on my own. Silent screams, dry tears. Pain filled days w...

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  You make it sound so easy, look so easy, seam so easy, but it's not. It's how you say it, when you say it, if you say it, that affects alot. The way that you act, when you act, who you act, what hurts me so bad. Just your simple touch, soft touch, that stupid touch, ...

  Here Alone

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Sitting here alone, Don’t bother with a why. I’m sorry for it all, For those times you made me cry. I didn’t mean to let you hurt me, For this tear beneath my eye. Letting you see me like this, It makes me want to die. All those times you said I love you, I know they were a lie....

  Scars Riddle Me

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Emotional scars always felt yet hidden from sight. A past of many events cutting deep down into the very core of who I am. People leaving rarely coming causing silent screams. Tears bottled up for all of time falling only in my mind never to run down my face. Though the bruises fade t...

  The Pain Words Hold

  

  By LilMissStefi, Port Washington, WI

  Her heart that beats so strong, it wavers. Clasped between her fingertips the paper hangs. So sure she had been. So happy. A wave of confusion claims her. Grief consumes. Simple words they sting cutting away never to cease pounding in her head. Mocking whispers. The life she had envision...
