Haiku: Listen

Please listen to me

Am I less interesting

Than what’s on your phone?

– Lexie Brooke 🙂

P. S. Hope you enjoyed this quick and silly little haiku – I get SO frustrated when people ignore what I’m saying because they’re on their phones!

She is

She is sunshine,

turns beauty into pain.

She picks others up

even when she is down.

She is a firework,

covers the world in sparks.

She lights up the night

even when she feels dark.

She is a rainbow,

pokes out after the storm.

She heightens people’s days,

even when she is low.

She is inside you,

waiting to be pulled out from the tangles,

waiting for her moment to shine,

waiting,

patiently.

– Lexie Brooke 🙂

Broken

My pain builds up,

shakes, bubbles, bursts.

My pent-up frustration

can’t

be

contained

anymore.

My patience worn paper thin,

wearing,

cracking,

tearing.

Ripped into a million pieces,

or maybe a million and one.

I can’t hide anymore,

can’t pretend

that I’m not

broken.
