I stand on my corner
sometimes with a sign
sometimes with my voice
sometimes I don't stand at all
but today I stand,
I stand on my corner
and scream
I scream warnings, tidings
blessings and curse
in the hopes
someone will hear them.
I stand on my corner
and no one walks by
I see no one near
and I cry out
for someone to come
for anyone to help me
to offer me something
even if its just shelter
from the downpour cascading
down my cheeks.
I stand on my corner
and no one stands with me
and the crushing truth of that
forces me to fall.
No one offers me a hand
I have no way to rise
and so I sit on my corner,
sometimes with tears,
sometimes with screams,
sometimes
with nothing at all
but today I sit
I sit on my corner
and hope
you'll see me.
and hope
you'll see me.

Death Is A Reward, Not Answer
Please, don't cry -
Don't cry because I know
The reasons why you're crying,
And I'm right here telling you;
They're all wrong.
Please, don't hold your tears -
Sadness is an emotion to release
When it builds so much as it's for you,
And I'm right here to express to you, now;
It's okay to cry.
Just, don't believe the reasons
You're telling yourself -
And please, I beg
Put down the pills,
You don't need them.
Aside from it's not your time,
There isn't enough reason!
How many minutes will go by
As we're both drowning
In our own tears,
Screaming at each other?
How many hours has it been
Before writing this poem
That we've yelled
About why you

Let the Fall Make You Stronger.
"Hey! Are you all right?"
"Sure, why wouldn't I be?"
"Um...because you just fell from the roof of the hou-"
"See, that's where you're wrong. I didn't fall. The floor challenged me and I accepted."
"And how did that go for you?"
"The floor won. But only because it had the advantage."
"Of being non sentient and vast in size, along with the fact that there is a freaking storm out!!"
"Nope. I just attacked from the wrong position."
"Backwards?"
"I overestimated my skills."
"I'll say. You're bleeding!"
"Only a little. Ask me again."
"What?"
"If I'm fine."
"Are you?"
"Nope."
"Is it because you're bleeding?"
"You're supposed to ask

Her eyes clouded by
nightmares of the past
Angst controls her life
as shadows chase her

This is honestly incredible. What a "corner" is exactly can be interpreted in so many ways, but I love the journey this person takes throughout the poem. Wanting to scream "warnings and tidings" but no one comes, almost like a prophet. And no one comes to help them either so they are alone. Someone who wants to help others but first needs to be helped, and neither is happening. The emotion really builds up towards the end until it falls into a quiet sort of somberness with the person sitting down and hoping "you" see them.
It's very beautiful and well done. I want to read it some more to process it but first time reading it, I love it very much
