FEARFUL RABBIT
7.THUNDERSTORMS
Foolish. Weak. Cowardly.

The noise sends a shiver
Gripping of soft fur underneath my fingers
Window Blinds closed tight

To old. To scared. To broken.

A shock sends me to cower
Tightly against the corner
Waiting for the siren to call me downstairs
It does not come

Calm Breath. Calm Heart. Calm Mind.

Escape the safety
The soft fur safely under my arm
I retreat downstairs

Don't See. Don't Judge. Don't Tease.

Eyes spot the door open
A chair and a head watching the sounds
I take a step outside

He gives Comfort. He gives Acceptance. He gives Understanding.

Slightly NSFW topic... sorry...
FIRST TIME
10.FIREWORKS
I want to love you
As much as I love the soft sound of the river
Sitting side-by-side waiting for the show to start

I wish I loved you
So much I didn't mind, the hateful company
Sitting below deck, giving fiend smiles of those who care

I want love with you
To feel like the explosions above our heads
As the sky becomes flowers made of fire

I think I'll love you
Later tonight when you drag me home
To my familiar sheets of bed
And I take the last thing you had to give

But I don't love you
I'll never love you
And I never will forgive myself for that

HERMIT
29.FAMILY REUNION
"I'm here for the food"
Laughter riots from her lips
Judgment in her eyes as it's the truth
But it doesn't matter
She never tells the truth
Sitting upstairs, I stay hidden away
Playing the only game they have
A dream cast controller in my hands

Only to later hear
"They Miss you!"
When I've become a ghost
When they don't even know my name
I'll never see them again
And that brings nothing but joy
After long years of judgmental eyes

WIFE
11.LAZY DAYS
I'm happy
Running around with you
Getting things done
And saying busy
Until the night comes

I'm happy
Dressing up with you
Going to new places
Trying new foods
Until the night comes

I'm happiest
Laying in bed with you
Watching you play your games
Just being close
Even when the night comes

RUNAWAY
15.PICNIC
"We're going on a picnic!"
The lies are gritted through my teeth
I was to cowardly to leave alone
So I took an innocent with me
Who was to trusting
I became a kidnapper to my sister

"I don't remember a park"
She whined, her feet sore after walking
I didn't blame her, this was weird
Our bags were packed
I filled them with food, clothes, toys

"Well.. it's.. somewhere around here"
Doubt began filling my heart
I didn't know where to go
But I knew it had to be away

"Can we just go home?"
With a sigh I knew
that was the only choice

"Okay, we'll have a picnic at home"
And escape was gone

ROLLER COASTER
14.AMUSEMENT PARK
Anticipation.
I feel it boiling
The rides are just over the hill
Heart racing fast
Soon they'll be mine

I leap out of the car
Family to slow
I'm waiting at the entrance
It's still not close enough

Feet shuffling fast
I drag my sister by the hand
Waving goodbye to my dad
Gotta beat the line

I do, and make the front seat
We sit excitedly
Heading toward the sky
I feel my heart leap

And I'm where I'm meant to be again

SURPRISE!
9.COOKOUT
She had spent weeks
To keep this a secret
Because he was very good at finding secrets
But this time
It had worked
Everything was set
Friends and family were all around
Not a clue
That he'd find me too
The car pulled around
And his face lights up
To the smell of a cookout
and "Happy Birthday!"

BEST FRIEND
17.CARNIVAL
She was my best friend
Despite always dragging me down
Talking bad about everyone she meets
And taking my deepest insecurities
Then bringing them to the world

But the carnival
Was our yearly trip
Something we did together
Spend it buying food
It was when she was nicest
So it made it all okay

I enjoyed the rides the most
But she's sit and wait
on the sidelines
never looking my way
Growing more bored

She ran into her better friends
And left me that day
But it was okay
Because she was my only friend

THE START OF MY LAST YEAR
13.WATER FIGHT
All the seniors
Got to go out
To a park on the first day
Of the last year

It was the first time
I got to spend with him
The guy who made me embarrass myself
Over and over again

The teachers pulled out
Water guns, spaying us over and over again
But we had the upper hand
Pulling out water balloons it was over to soon

I was ready for the year
That I thought would be
The best one of my life
But man am I glad it's over

Trigger Warning, suicidal implication
THE END OF MY LAST YEAR
30.SCHOOL'S OUT
For most people
The last day of school
Is the start of the beginning
College, Work, Love

For me it was the beginning
Of the end

I didn't have any plans
I watched my classmates
Throw binders away
Smiling, Happy, Free

For me it was the ending
Of hurting more

I was planning on leaving
I just had to wait
For a day it became to much
Help, Fear, Unknowing

For me I didn't see a future
Just an end

I DIDN'T KNOW A SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER WAS A THING AND NOW I'M TO AFRAID TO ASK
2.SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER
My family never went to movies
Instead we'd just rent
From a place called blockbuster
But all things come to pass
So when I saw this prompt
I looked it up
And it seems that summer blockbusters
Are just movies that come out in summer
But I don't remember ever
Going to the movies in the summer
So here's a poem
About me discovering what a summer blockbuster is
I'm sorry that it's a little lame
To write such a thing
But I can't help
That I just found out
What a summer blockbuster is

REALITY
28.HIKING
One of the things I miss most
Is hiking with my cousin
She and I would go and explore
Forests that we'd pretend were untamed
Pretending to be
elves, fairies, knights

But I can't do that
Not since pain took it from me
Now I'm stuck to concrete
I can never leave
I'm forever stuck in reality
wheels, chairs, canes

SKIN
4.SUNBURN
I have sensitive skin
It makes me hate lotion
So I don't wear sunscreen
But I've always been lucky
Because I only ever get burnt on my nose
But when I started wearing glasses
That burn began to hurt

I have sensitive skin
It makes me hate certain fabrics
But I've always been lucky
Because I always got soft clothing
But when I started liking sweaters
I learned to suffer

I have sensitive skin
It has bumps on it
I'm very unlucky
Because I was told I have eczema
And it means I'll never have
Nice skin like you

KITES DON'T WORK
16.FLY A KITE
My ex-family used to do movie nights
Every Saturday we'd watch a movie
And I'd grow obsessed with it
For a week, I'd watch it over and over
And my favorite was Mary Poppins

My favorite song
Made my father buy a kite
And we took it out
On a windy day

My feet sprinted
I felt it lift
I turned
It fell

Repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Repeat

Kites don't work
When you buy
The cheapest options
