watch the way your chest raises when you take a deep breath and watch the way the stars dance, like they know you're watching
even though we're really just ants to the stars they know you're important to someone and that someone is important to you
watch the way the grass moves in the wind, blades pushed to the side like they're nothing but grass to the ants is like skyscrapers to us and skyscrapers to us is like grass to the sky
watch the way your eyes crinkle at the corners when you smile and the way your nose twitches when you have to sneeze
watch the way the flowers grow towards the sun and the way the sun moves in the sky and the way the sky changes but its always the sky
watch the clouds and try and find animals and shapes and dragons and shoes and watch the clouds move with the wind
the same wind that moves the grass the same wind that blows the rain the same wind that musses up my hair
the same hair on my head as was there last night but not last year not even last month i cut my hair to get rid of you
you were tangled in it and now you're free from my clutches and now my hair is short and you are gone and i am happy

you have space in my mind
but you're not paying the rent
i've talked to the landlord
you'll get evicted soon
here's your notice
now get out of town
you're not welcome here at all

hungry for attention
wish you'd look at me again
why'd you stop?
you'd think i was dead the way you ignore me
but my hearts still beating for sure
because the pain is shaped like your sillohette
but ill move on eventually
teach the bed to erase your shape
teach my eyes not to leak when i think of you
teach my heart not to jump when i hear your name
teach myself to forget about you
your touch your voice your fuck your kiss your face
because i don't need
i'll forget your face

who decided that the diet mags go in the women's section
and the ones about music and science are on the men's side?
these days you can't flat out say
"this isn't for your kind"
but it's obvious to me how you feel
I need to thin, trim, and pretty
reading about how to plan a wedding
how to bake a cake- but shed those pounds
while you shred on your guitar
well you can shred me to pieces but i wont do what you ask
i can bake a fucking cake and i can wear a dress
but don't you dare think that means i can't like good music
and know a thing or two about science
dont you dare think that just because i'm a woman
i'm not strong enough to do anything i set my mind to
not my place?- elisabeth cox

it got bad around the time the leaves started coming back
and it got worse as they deepened in color
hit rock bottom when they started turning red
my wrists the color of the trees
my vision turning the color of dirt
the smell of the blood gushing
metallic and sharp; like the knife
my hearing going silent like my thoughts
drifting away like the leaves on the wind
loose lips sink ships but slit wrists bring peace- elisabeth cox

the truth about things
desire is easy but
the outcome is hard
regret- a shitty haiku

they sing like sirens
out in the fog of early day
didnt know they'd be out this way
wander blind among these hills
walk into the fog
so tempting their skin
but i need to begin again
i cannot do this again

its hardest
to listen
to the kernal
inside
the one saying
"keep going,
theres a reason
you're here
you're important
to someone"
because the rest of you
is saying
"you dont deserve
to be here
you dont matter
you are worthless"
it's an
all consuming
darkness
with a tiny
tiny
nightlight
in the corner
thats shining
very
dim
and apparently
its the strong thing
to listen
to the light
thanks kathleen- elisabeth cox

i dont fit in my skin today
feel like i need to burst
split from my skin
break anew
burn and be reborn
a phoenix of vast proportions
i have potential
but not in this form
i need to be changed
reformed
reborn
phoenix- elisabeth cox

dizzy again
the room is spinning
back and forth
to and fro
feel like im floating
need to be teathered
tied down so as not to
float
away
away into space
up in the air
sucked into the sky
i need my feet on the ground
because my heads nowhere near it

the psych ward nurse
smelled like
artifical cherry
sickly sweet
to match
the sickly sweet demeanor
she smelled like
cough syrup and candy
dum dums and chapstick
overstimulated my nose
