http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2875594/ My favorite people will always beThe ones who can recognize the tune of my laughter And sing along to the next verse  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2875591/ There is a garden of thoughts blooming in my mind.A few adorned in thorns, but usually they're kind. Flowers of all varieties; some grow in darkness, some in light.On occasion they'll have a potency that keeps me up at night. See the borrowed bulbs from the various places that I've been.&n..

http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2875332/ Night after nightOver and over I fly headfirst into glassContaining the illumination, I'm so fervently craving Terrified by the surrounding

forget. You called us a match, fate braided in our DNA.But time exposed you as toxic, my health the price to pay. I tried to hide the side effects so no one else would see,The thing I loved the ve.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2875243/ You strutted like a peacock,Self-appointed VIP.You found me like a raven, Stealing what was once shiny. I was just a sitting duck, An ostrich, my head in the sand. My wings soon became useless,My feathers plucked by your hand. Bruised but you called me a cuckoo,A sensitive c.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874981/ Meet my zombie boyfriend,With his cold hands and dead eyes.Excuse me as I rip off parts of myself,In hopes of keeping him alive.  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874974/ The itsy-bitsy

air. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874875/ They say that I'm a sweetheart,But no one listens unless I shout. So, I grab my big, brown baseball bat,To knock my sweetness out.  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874728/ There's a storm outside I welcomeEyes open, arms outstretchedThe raindrops kiss my skin with glitterI'm blissful despite being drenchedThere's a storm in me I hide fromEyes closed, my muscles tenseThe forecast unclear for these feelingsMy heartbeat quickens in suspense  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874647/ You want me to deal with my demons, But they're already fast asleep. I've tucked them in and kissed them goodnight.Quietly whispering,"Please be kind to me".  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874633/ You thought this was your moment,A knight riding on horseback.You thought that you could save me,From all unforeseen attacks.You called yourself my hero, And heroes were never wrong.Not knowing that your princess,Was the dragon all along.  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874624/ I love your dark and twisty A weathered willow on my lawn Your eyes light brown and haunting Despite your golden brawnI love your dark and twistySix faded tattoos on your arm Tender bites when you kiss meThe sour notes in your charmI love your dark and twistyThe parts you keep hi.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874589/ I'm waiting by the mailbox.I sit here every day.It has been thirty years now.The time has raced away. I'm waiting by the mailbox. Wondering when they'll come. Answers grown-ups seem to have,for those of us still young. I'm waiting by the mailbox. No packages this late. .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874572/ I set out to be Barbie,A pink, perfect, dream come true. I made everyone happy, Brainless, plastic, shiny, new.But Barbie wasn't working, So, I climbed out from my box.I took off my old branding,Ignoring the looks of shock. They said that this would change me,That I'd never be th.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874538/ I'm writing you this letter.I've crumpled it up twice. I've changed my pen to purple. Maybe blue would have been nice. I'm writing you this letter. One I know you'll never read. But maybe if I burn it, My unspoken prisoners Can finally be set free.  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874534/ You see me as a work of art,Nearly perfect upon first glance.While far away I dazzle you,A pretty promise of romance. I save you from disappointment,Out of reach by a velvet rope. Knowing the best artist is often, The mind when it paints with false hope.  http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/CoriKate13/2874532/ Just trying something
