I'd like to fly, by Cassidy Edwards

I'd like to fly

Mom look it's a poem about you!!

I can’t feel you anymore

It’s always the same

Locked in a room

Chained to the floor

I’d like to fly

But my windows closed

Numb to you’re words

The Painless blows

Your Hypocritical mind

and my under critical heart

Don’t know what you’re trying to find

I’d like to fly

But my windows closed

Ill inch it up farther

Then

“You’re just like your father”

Back to the floor

I don’t care anymore

You’re not getting through

I don’t feel the sore

You used to wear me down

Now I’m only getting stronger

And smaller

And farther

I’d like to fly

But my windows closed

(2013)

Pause A happy couple You know there’s nothing to see Fingers intertwined Play

Death of us

The death of you is the death of m… No more pain and no more free The more we try The harder it persists The harder we cry

Real reasons for my shaking

excuses for the real reason i’m sh… we live in a world of apologies. I made a mistake a year back, choosing my addiction to oxygen over less demanding things.

Adventure

She grabbed the knife by the blade And she was miles away She came back head over heels In love just today She found a safe place to stay

Untitled

Here comes the rain Falling from my eyes For happiness or pain I can’t say If I try Linoleum roses

Home

Bare feet on dark pavement The glitter of broken glass A far away siren somewhat distant A homeless man sleeps by the gas All Black windows except for ours
