jalyssa elliott Poems

Last night I had a dream
It was of hope
and inspiration
and love
...

Drop it.
Let it go,
and the winds of change
shall make it old.
...

i had it all planned out
i would graduate, become somebody
a winner of the pulitzer prize
maybe even nobel...
...

Maybe it was me…
Maybe I didn’t make my purpose clear from the start. I suppose I could have specified my reasoning behind my actions. I could have told you that every time you saw me smile I was actually screaming.
Not in horror or rage. Nothing profound or poignant like that. Just the day to day frustration was taking a toll on my already fragile psyche.
Maybe I should have told you that my psyche was fragile in the first place. I guess my act was pretty flawless.
...

Those eyes
The mirror of my life
A reflection of the deepest truth
That you wont every tell
...
